The Fractal Mind by Source Potential
The Fractal Mind by Source Potential is a discussion of the nature of consciousness and reality, where ancient wisdom and modern science seem to point at the same thing.
Hosted by R.J. Hills, founder of Source Potential and creator of the Awakening: Binaural Meditation app, each episode examines the territory where Vedanta, Taoism, Buddhism, and quantum mechanics converge.
Also join us every Sunday night for the Zen Bedtime Stories series. Narrated by R.J. Hills, these are ancient koans retold, each ending with a question to sit with.
Not teaching. Not preaching. Just pointing.
