Dr Tony Nader was a featured presenter at The Expanded States of Consciousness World Summit held from 19 to 26 March 2024, when he was interviewed by mindfulness educator and author, Fleet Maull, PhD. In their wide-ranging discussion Dr Maull and Dr Nader delved into the nature of consciousness, the role of teachers in guiding spiritual growth, and the transformative power of practices such as Transcendental Meditation.

Dr Maull’s insightful questions prompted Dr Nader to illuminate the intricate layers of human consciousness, emphasize the interconnectedness of all beings, explore the relationship between the egoic self and the unified field of consciousness, and shed light on the journey of self-discovery and expansion.

Dr Nader discussed the concept of non-duality and how meditation, particularly Transcendental Meditation, provides a direct experience of pure consciousness. He emphasized that consciousness is fundamental to understanding reality and explained how scientific research supports the benefits of meditation on physical and mental well-being.

The conversation also delved into the distinction between consciousness as a noun, representing a fundamental field of being, and consciousness as a verb, describing the act of being conscious of something. Dr Nader clarified that consciousness is non-material and non-local, existing beyond time and space.

Their conversation serves as a beacon of inspiration for seekers on the path of self-realization and spiritual awakening.
