Joseph Selbie enjoys making the complex and obscure simple and clear. He is the author of Break Through the Limits of the Brain, how neuroscience supports spiritual experience, The Physics of God, a unification of science and religion, and The Yugas, a factual look at India’s tradition of cyclical history. He is known for creating bridges of understanding between the modern evidenced-based discoveries of science and the timeless experience-based discoveries of the mystics. A dedicated Kriya yoga meditator for nearly fifty years, he has taught yoga, meditation, and universal experiential spirituality throughout the US and Europe.
In 1975 Joseph became a founding member of Ananda, a spiritual community and movement inspired by the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. His role as teacher and minister, and decades of study under Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda, gave him a deep dive into Eastern philosophy, meditation, and comparative religion. Joseph is also a critical thinker grounded in science having studied physics, chemistry, and microbiology at the University of Colorado. His presentations, classes, articles, and books have always blended science and spirituality.
Now retired, Joseph was a founder and the CEO of Tristream, an early pioneer in experience design for the web. He collaborated with Jakob Nielsen, the thought leader in experience design, to write Best Team Practices for Web Application Design and spoke at many Nielsen-Norman Group conferences in the United States and Europe. Tristream clients included Cisco, Logitech, Ariba/SAP, Manpower, Tektronix, and Wells Fargo.
Joseph's latest book, Break Through the Limits of the Brain, connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience, and offers proven and practical ways to tap into the life-changing, life-enhancing abilities of our superconscious potential.

EFT for Meditation: Charles and Carol Crenshaw with Dawson Church in Conversation
Wednesday Aug 24, 2022
Wednesday Aug 24, 2022
Charles and Carol Crenshaw are the authors of EFT for Meditation. Longtime meditators, they show how to apply EFT to the different styles of meditation. Beginning meditators often find it hard to still the body and quiet the mind. EFT stress-reduction methods help with both. Charles and Carol show how to use EFT to overcome resistance to meditation and discover the point of inner peace. Their book begins with a quick start guide that gives readers an immediate experience combining tapping with deep meditation. Dawson, Charles and Carol discuss the research using EEG, MRI and gene chips to measure the changes that happen in the bodies of meditators. In just a few weeks, the volume of tissue in the brain’s emotion-regulation circuits increases, while cancer and metabolism genes are regulated. Among the wide range of topics they cover are:
- The commonality in all the many meditation traditions is the breath
- Different forms of meditation: chanting, movement, visualization, mindfulness
- Various learning styles: verbal, visual, auditory, kinesthetic
- Meditation coordinates all the different channels of your physiology
- When nothing seems to be happening during meditation
- Starting with a few minutes a day
- A system to be a successful meditator
- Finding the time of day that works best for you to practice meditation
- Learning to do what’s good for you long-term, elevating it above short-term feelings

Mind to Matter: Dawson Church in Conversation with Himself
Sunday Aug 14, 2022
Sunday Aug 14, 2022
Dawson Church, PhD, is the author of Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Our Brains Create Material Reality (and host of this podcast). In this hour-long episode, Dawson outlines the science of showing that our thoughts are creative. The habitual thoughts and behaviors practiced in our brains generate energy fields. Studies show that these fields can affect the growth of cells and the synthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters and enzymes in our bodies. They can also affect the molecular structure of water and other compounds. There are hundreds of studies showing the healing effects of energy. While approaching healing as a material project can be useful as shifting energy can produce rapid healing effects.
Other points Dawson addresses:
* How our brains are adding neural capacity moment by moment
* The number of synaptic connections in a much-used neural pathway can double within an hour
* Brain volume measurements show that mindfulness can produce a 20%+ increase in regulation circuits in just 8 weeks
* Energy flowing through neural pathways produces electromagnetic fields around them; these fields interact with other fields, and can explain distant healing
* Healing energy alters the molecular structure of water
* Each of the 6 primary brain waves can regulate regeneration of different cell types

Dan Siegel, PhD, is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is the author of several bestselling books including Mind: A Journey into the Heart of Being Human. In this second part of a two-part series, Dan and Dawson talk about how much bigger the mind is than the brain. They reference research showing that quantum entanglement applies not just at the molecular level, but to large living systems. Besides fields at the level of atoms and molecules, there are large scale fields extending even to the level of societies. These may be the mechanism connecting minds at a distance. When we fill our personal experience with love and kindness, our interior worlds reach out to shape the larger fields of nonlocal mind.
Dan and Dawson discuss:
- The old view that mind and consciousness are epiphenomena of complex brains is outdated
- Social fields that connect large numbers of human beings
- Energy is the movement of possibility to actuality
- How thoughts can move intention toward collapsing possibility into probability
- The phenomenon of shared mind can extend to the macro level
- The 3 ingredients of a connected life: focused attention, open awareness, kind intention
- The way your state of mind will influence people 3 degrees of separation away
