What If Consciousness Is the Key to Reality? | Alan Gillanders

What if consciousness is more fundamental to reality than we realize?In this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, Jeremy sits down with author and lifelong student of consciousness Alan Gillanders to explore spirituality, meditation, ancient wisdom, manifestation, the nature of God, and the deeper connection Alan believes exists between all things. For more than 45 years, Alan has explored Christianity, Eastern philosophy, metaphysics, consciousness and ideas from quantum theory while asking one central question: What is truth? Alan shares some of the unusual experiences that shaped his worldview, including his travels to India, experiences he interpreted as miracles and divine guidance, and an out-of-body experience that profoundly changed his understanding of consciousness.We explore:• Why Alan believes we are not separate from God or Source• Meditation as connection rather than escape• Why stillness can help us hear what is underneath the noise• Faith, intention and taking action• Synchronicity and experiences that seem impossible to explain• Eastern spirituality and Alan's Christian upbringing• The relationship between consciousness, vibration and reality• Why our beliefs and words may influence how we experience life• Alan's experience of leaving his body during meditation  The difference between desire and attachment• Why Alan believes the answers we seek may already exist within usAlan also discusses his upcoming book, The Sacred Hum of I Am, which grew from his exploration of consciousness, vibration and the creative power he associates with the words “I am.”🎙️ The Shaman Stories Podcast Presented byAldren Sanctuary — Wisdom Returned. Explore Aldren Sanctuary:https://www.aldrensanctuary.comhttps://www.facebook.com/TheAldrenSanctuaryhttps://www.facebook.com/shamanstoriespodcastjeremy@aldrensanctuary.comBe a guest on The Shaman Stories Podcast:shamanstoriespodcast@gmail.comConnect with Alan Gillanders:https://alangillanders.com/https://www.facebook.com/Shambalafurniturehomewareshttps://www.instagram.com/gillandersalan/https://x.com/31BigALhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-gillanders-11749120/
