The Happy ScientistHave You Ever Heard of the Consciousness Hard Problem?Extra Episode — Cory Katuna — Have You Ever Heard of the Consciousness Hard Problem?Today's episode is part of an experiment: introducing best practices from other disciplines to the bench-based bioscientist. Today, we discuss the consciousness "hard" problem with Cory Katuna. Why should a bioscientist care about consciousness? In science, objectivity gets so much attention. But when subjectivity and its usefulness gets dismissed, what do we stand to lose as a result?For more from Cory, check out her podcast, "Perpective with Cory Katuna" at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA84uCok...

Perspective with Cory Katuna#10 - Getting Enlightened: Cory Gets Coached by LuukAround halfway through the God Tour, I became motivated to stabilize my Self-realization, instead of it being an occasional remembrance limited mostly to my meditations.So I started texting with Luuk Moelker—a fellow teammate and facilitator at Massaro University—who has stabilized in the nondual recognition of the “I Am” or “Aware-Being” or “God Consciousness” or whatever you might want to call it.Luuk was enthusiastic, clear, and helpful with his guidance and feedback. This inspired me to reach out more and more—requesting that he “enlighten my perspective.”We decided to turn our exchanges into a 4...

Higher Density Living PodcastSpiritual Alchemy Isn't Pretty: The Real Work No One Talks AboutSummary: Spiritual alchemy isn't about light and love—it's about the fire. In this raw and riveting episode, Jason Rigby sits down with spiritual guide Cory Katuna to uncover the uncomfortable truths of transformation. From emotional safety to ego death, discover why the real work of awakening looks more like breaking than blooming—and why that's exactly the point. Overview: Most people want spiritual transformation without the sweat, but Higher Density Living dares to go where few will. In this soul-shaking conversation, Cory Katuna returns to the show to dism...
2025-07-3051 minPerspective with Cory Katuna#09 - Thinking Out Loud: Is Consciousness Fundamental?I take more of a transparent and raw approach with this episode because, well, I don’t know what I think yet! I’ve been at a new “spiritual” learning edge thanks to recent guidance from Bentinho Massaro, particularly at his recent Non-Duality clinic in Amsterdam. At the same time, I’ve been captivated by recent discussions by skeptics, atheists, and scientists on the topic of Consciousness. Interestingly, these topics seem to be converging around at least one really important question: is consciousness fundamental? In other words: is consciousness the fundamental “stuff” that gave rise to all the matter of the u...
2025-07-2334 minPerspective with Cory Katuna#08 - Learn Intuitively + A Better Way to PrayLearning Intuitively requires a different “muscle” than the typical, structured learning we’re so used to from school and work. Intuitive learning happens when, instead of conceptually understanding the theory and verbiage of some new pursuit… you actually begin to enter its paradigm. In spirituality, this often feels like a breakthrough, or an awakening.In this episode I talk about HOW TO learn intuitively (including my own examples). I also share some thoughts about the God Tour that is currently underway. And finally I discuss PRAYER from an angle you may have never considered.By the way—the...

What started as cathartic journaling after a brutal cancellation eventually became this article, and I’m grateful to finally be able to share it with all of you.I originally recorded myself reading this article for my own podcast, Perspective, but then we decided to release it on Bentinho’s channel so all of his followers would get a chance to hear the other side of a salacious story.Thi...

2025-06-1842 minPerspective with Cory Katuna#04 - Why “Safe Spaces” Aren’t Safe – My Thoughts on Real, Resilient SafetyIn this episode of Perspective, I explore a wildly misunderstood question: What makes a friendship (or a community) feel safe? (Like, actually safe… not just comfortable or coddling). I talk about how today’s hot cultural trends result in “unsafe” social dynamics—the woke, DEI, “don’t offend anybody” movement and its “anti-woke” backlash are two extremes that lead to bad results.I also tell a personal story that helps to highlight a variable of social “unsafety” in friendships.(For the record, I’m putting the word “unsafe” in quotes here because I’m not talking about objective, phys...

The Brian Piergrossi PodcastThe Circle: Why is GOD trending almost everywhere right now? Cory Katuna Ep. #42t’s a fascinating phenomenon I’ve been tracking for months now!
So many celebrities, podcasters, scientists, many public figures, Silicon Valley, politicians.
I’ve certainly felt it deepen in my own life & the lives of so many people I’m connected to. It’s like a wave sweeping across the planet.
Why are so many people interested in God (and also Jesus) right now?
Is this God the same as the old God?
Are there lots of different Gods?
Who is God? What are God’s qualities? Where is God?
Who are we, the human being, in relationship to God?

Licensed to Lead021 - If You're Not Happy - You're Not HelpingIn this first Licensed to Lead “Espresso Shot” podcast—designed to be short but potent— the topic is the unhealthy underbelly of “helping” professions. Cory Katuna and Patty spin-off from their Episode #20 conversation when they talked about Levels of Energy or “mindsets.” They dive into a discussion of the connection between Level Four energy (a mindset of compassion and generosity) and the implications if our “helping” is tainted by obligation and resentment. When Cory says “If you’re not happy, you’re not helping” she means that our interpersonal interactions have many more implications than what is apparent. We talk about the immediate and the...
