Neil is one of our experts. In 2012, he gave us an excellent interview on complexity theory, and we've stayed in touch ever since. We do have some serious differences, however, in how we view consciousness. I am a strict materialist and he is an Idealist. This conversation began after I had revised the video I had made from Neil's interview.

I informed Neil about the changes, and this conversation happened.
both of those answers make me happy. and, as i said, this convo has been exceptionally useful for me to understand better just what it is i hope to accomplish with my book AND making me think i need to do it in two steps (two books!) rather than one... that will be a decision for my editor/publishers no doubt! but i have a much better sense of what i am up against (cuz you ARE good audience for it!) and what i need to accomplish if it will be successful in any measure. thank you!! meanwhile, if/when i dig into the convincing OBE/NDE data i promise to prod you with it and see what you think. but clearly that needs to be stirred into my mix.
