The Fractal Mind by Source Potential is a discussion of the nature of consciousness and reality, where ancient wisdom and modern science seem to point at the same thing.

Hosted by R.J. Hills, founder of Source Potential and creator of the Awakening: Binaural Meditation app, each episode examines the territory where Vedanta, Taoism, Buddhism, and quantum mechanics converge.
