This week brings a deep, existential conversation with actor, podcaster and deep-thinker; Thomas Rochester, talking about the concept of the soul & God, before & after death, prophetic dreams and so much more!
This episode is part 1 of the conversation, where Mike & Thomas begin by loosely explaining their theories on life and their respective relationships with religion, before delving deep into existentialism, self-care, the idea that we are all God (& if such a being exists) and Thomas talks about some literature that delves into these sorts of concepts (details below). The duo also discuss meditation, anchor points and more!
Next week is part 2 (but if you want to hear it now, support Mike on Patreon), where the conversation on deep thought continues; Mike & Thomas delve into prophetic dreams and talk about their own experiences, discuss past memories and alternate perspectives. Thomas then talks about communicating with one’s soul and how our physical forms limit certain knowledge which leads into a few of Thomas’ anecdotes. As their conversation draws to a close, the duo discuss how science & spirituality can work in tandem, an anecdote about vibrations and more – these podcasts are definitely for the deep/philosophical thinkers among you!
Thomas mentioned numerous things in this conversation including;
