Lipton on Spontaneous Evolution and why humor is the ultimate catalyst for human growth.

S8EP3, Expand Human Consciousness with Anton Grosz, Ph.D What happens when a lifelong atheist suddenly dies and finds himself travelling through a tunnel toward a light he never believed existed? Dr. Anton Grosz was 37 years old when a Near-Death Experience shattered his secular worldview and forced him to confront a reality greater than anything he had imagined. Now a PhD in the Evolution of Human Consciousness, Dr. Grosz joins us to reveal the "New Consciousness"—a radical bridge between intellect and intuition that he believes is the next inevitable leap for the human race.

Born into a Jewish but profoundly atheistic family, Anton Grosz denied anything religious for the first half of his life. In 1978, at the age of 37, he discovered spirituality through a Near Death Experience, going through a tunnel into the light and experiencing a reality different and greater than anything he had ever thought possible. Since then, he has devoted his life to studying different spiritual paths, leading meditation practice, and helping those at the end of life. Grosz received his PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies in the Evolution of Human Consciousness.
