S1E30: Transcendental Meditation and Consciousness | Talk Tracks

About this episode

In this episode of Talk Tracks, neuroscientist and global leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement Dr. Tony Nader turns the question of consciousness upside down. Trained at Harvard and MIT, Dr. Nader once studied the brain as the source of awareness—until his research led him to a radical conclusion: it’s not the brain that creates consciousness, but consciousness that creates everything. He explains why he sees consciousness as the fundamental field of reality, how ancient traditions align with modern science, and why practices like Transcendental Meditation offer a direct path to experiencing our deeper, unified self. Along the way, he connects this idea to telepathy, intuition, and even the extraordinary abilities of nonspeaking individuals, inviting us to reconsider what it really means to be human.
