My sincere apologies for any audio issues. My microphone broke prior to recording, so I had to use an external microphone, and I was sick with the flu at the time of recording. Both of those issues are now resolved, and normal service will resume next week.

- What is consciousness?
- Where does consciousness arise from?
- What happens after death?
- When will be able to measure how conscious we are?
- Why our brains are 'hallucinating reality'
- Much more
