In this captivating podcast episode, we delve into the profound questions surrounding the existence of reality with the insightful Alex Berkeley. We explore the age-old inquiry of why reality exists, considering if there's a universally accepted answer that has intrigued beings throughout history. Berkeley shares a unique perspective on how reality is not merely a concept but a living, breathing experience that unfolds through our thoughts, feelings, and intuitions. The conversation unfolds into the purpose behind his book, structured to ignite readers' imaginations in their spiritual exploration of the question, "Why Does Reality Exist?" We discuss Berkeley's personal journey, where he embarked on a mystical odyssey contacting the Divine Realm without a roadmap. He recounts the aftermath, detailing the recovery process and the impact of anxiety stemming from the profound shock of such an encounter. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the golden rule, a recurring theme in the book. Berkeley shares how this rule inspired his work and how it influences his day-to-day life, offering a glimpse into the profound impact of such principles. Berkeley shares his insights on the purpose of our existence and contemplates what may happen to us after death, inviting listeners to ponder these existential questions along with him. Alex Berkeley studied and graduated at Dartmouth College, having earned a Bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences, he re-discovered the joy behind nature's existence. His first book Why does Reality Exist? is his attempt at teaching the product of his experiences trying to uncover the riddle behind the world's existence.

His book Why Does Reality Exist?, structured in 14 chapters through parables, short stories, and essays, explores some of the overlapping themes found in mystical experiences, near-death experiences (NDEs) and lucid dreams. As you journey through the pages and open your mind to the wonder of existence, you'll find that the distinction between “me” and “you”, “delusion” and “reality”, “death” and “birth” becomes increasingly blurred… It is the author’s hope that his book helps the reader better integrate the invisible knowledge learned in these “other worlds” upon “return” to this-worldly realm. The purpose of the book is to help provide a guidemap to those who may be undergoing spiritual awakening, validate the glimpses to those who have been "there", and share the wonders of mystical experience to those altogether new to this journey. Though mystical truths are outside of our known understanding and spiritual awakening can feel overwhelming, the paradigm shift in our way of thinking towards union with the Divine is within reach… You can find the host Jamie here: Bob Olson Best Psychic Directory: https://bestpsychicdirectory.com/california/Jamie-Lynn-l.html www.electricspiritpodcast.com @electricspiritpodcast https://psychicjamie.com/ @socalhealer Electric Spirit Podcast Merchandise: https://www.electricspiritpodcast.com/store  Electric Spirit Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/661261524931303/?ref=share_group_link Electric Spirit Podcast YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@electricspiritpodcast SUPPORT: https://www.buymeacoffee.
