What if the way modern medicine understands the human being is fundamentally incomplete? Emergency physician Dr. Anoop Kumar argues that our materialist worldview has led healthcare to see us as collections of physical parts rather than whole human beings. We explore the primacy of consciousness, the future of healing, his extraordinary personal journey—including a near-death-like experience in medical school which reshaped his life—and why he considers conspiracy theories the second most important topic in the world.
The Consciousness & Human Potential podcast explores the deep questions of human life and their connection to the development of our inner potential. Each episode brings together researchers, scholars, and experts from across fields — those applying the insights of consciousness to their work and those expanding our understanding of what human development can really mean.
Produced by the Maharishi Vedic Science Department at Maharishi International University, the podcast is rooted in an ancient tradition of knowledge about consciousness — and seeks to build bridges between the diverse thinkers and experts shaping this field today.
