What if reality isn’t fixed—but an illusion shaped by language, filtered through senses, and constructed by the mind? In this episode of The Conscious Rising, host Sean Lee-Davies sits down with legendary spiritual teacher Dr. Deepak Chopra for a transformative exploration into consciousness, perception, and the deeper nature of existence.

Deepak Chopra is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine, mind-body healing, and consciousness research. He is the founder of The Chopra Foundation and author of over 90 best-selling books, including The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Through decades of work, he has helped bridge ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum science.

In this mind-expanding conversation, Deepak reveals:

• Why reality is not fixed—and may not be real at all
• How language shapes and limits our perception
• What ancient texts and quantum physics agree on about consciousness
• Why mainstream science resists the role of the observer
• How multiverse theory mirrors spiritual truths

What if the path to collective healing begins with facing our inner wounds... not bypassing them?

In this episode, Sean Lee-Davies speaks with Buddhist psychotherapist, author, and teacher Dr. Miles Neale, who blends Tibetan Buddhism, depth psychology, and trauma healing to offer a radically grounded path toward inner transformation. From the crisis of meaning in the West to the commercialization of mindfulness, this is a sobering yet empowering exploration of what it means to truly wake up.

Miles is the author of Gradual Awakening and Return with Elixir, founder of the Contemplative Studies Program, and a long-time student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. With over two decades of clinical and contemplative training, he is a sought-after voice at the intersection of Eastern wisdom and modern psychology.

In this conversation, Miles shares:

• Why spiritual growth requires staying present with your pain, not bypassing it
• The psychological costs of Western culture’s obsession with speed and avoidance
• How trauma fragments our sense of self and why storytelling is essential for repair
• The dangers of stripping Buddhist wisdom from its ethical and philosophical roots
• Why patience, practice, and inner narrative are the real keys to lasting healing
• How ancient myths offer a roadmap for the modern spiritual journey
