From a young age, Marjorie Woollacott was deeply curious about life’s biggest questions. At five years old, she had a deep conversation with her sister about the existence of God, questioning if one should dedicate their life to a higher purpose if it exists. In high school, her early curiosity grew when an inspiring literature teacher introduced her to Plato's classics and William James's ideas on mystical experience. Inspired by her explorations of a larger reality, Marjorie entered college to deepen her understanding of the human experience, particularly the soul's nature and location. Her lifelong journey has been shaped by a fascination with the intersection of science, spirituality, and consciousness.
Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Deadly Departed. Today, host Jock Brocas interviews Dr. Marjorie Woollacott, a neuroscientist and president of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences, who is also the author of Infinite Awareness. In this candid and compelling conversation, Jock and Marjorie dive into the fascinating crossroads of neuroscience, spirituality, and consciousness.
Marjorie discusses her transformation from a strong materialist and skeptic to a passionate advocate for post-materialist science, meditation, and the nature of awareness. She reveals how a mystical meditation experience changed the trajectory of her life and research, leading her to question the very foundation of materialist science.
They examine deep questions about the brain, the origin of consciousness, the benefits of meditation, and the remarkable skills seen in non-speaking autistic children.
If you’ve ever wondered how a scientist reconciles spiritual experiences with hard science—or sought insight into topics like near-death experiences, reincarnation, and terminal lucidity—this episode will challenge assumptions and spark your curiosity. Stay tuned as Jock and Marjorie explore the edges of science and spirituality, and don’t forget to check out Marjorie’s book, Infinite Awareness, for a deeper dive into her research and extraordinary insights.

The central theme of our discourse revolves around the intriguing notion that telepathy, frequently attributed to extraterrestrial entities, may serve as a conduit for understanding anomalous phenomena, including hauntings. This episode delves into the proposition that what we frequently classify as supernatural experiences could, in fact, stem from interactions with alien civilizations, who possess an intrinsic ability to navigate realities beyond our comprehension. We explore the implications of telepathic connections as potential explanations for various paranormal occurrences, emphasizing that the typical human experience often obscures deeper truths. Through a serious and methodical examination, we endeavor to illuminate the intersection of telepathy, alien communication, and the nature of reality itself. Join us as we engage in this profound inquiry, challenging conventional boundaries and inviting listeners to ponder the enigmatic dimensions of existence.
Welcome to Deadly Departed, where the boundaries between the living, the dead, and the decidedly otherworldly are never as clear as they seem. In this episode, hosts Jock Brocas and Craig Weiler dive headfirst into the eerie intersection of hauntings, anomalous phenomena, and the ever-intriguing world of UFOs and aliens. Is what we sometimes consider to be ghostly activity actually evidence of extraterrestrial encounters? Could telepathy—long associated with the paranormal—also be a key to understanding alien communication?
Jock and Craig candidly discuss theories, share personal experiences, and debate whether phenomena like telepathic communication, dream encounters, and even possession might sometimes have “alien” explanations. They don’t claim to be experts in UFOlogy, but their fascination with unexplained phenomena leads them down thought-provoking rabbit holes—tackling everything from the science of telepathy to the anthropological role of psychic abilities in groups, and the limits of materialist science in explaining it all.
Get ready for a fly-on-the-wall conversation that veers from science to storytelling—as the hosts compare notes on strange sightings, debate the source of consciousness, and invite listeners to bring their own ghost stories and questions for future episodes. If you’re drawn to the mysteries that linger at the edge of science and spirituality, you won’t want to miss this one.
The discourse encapsulates an exploration into the intersection of telepathy and extraterrestrial phenomena, positing that telepathic communication is a common attribute among alien civilizations. The speakers, Jock and Craig, delve into the implications of such communication, suggesting that it may grant these entities a profound connection to realities that remain obscured to humanity. They further speculate on the nature of hauntings, proposing that what is often classified as paranormal activity may in fact be manifestations of alien interactions, where the boundaries between the spiritual and the extraterrestrial blur. Jock elaborates on the notion that telepathy could provide a means for these beings to engage with our reality, potentially explaining sightings and experiences attributed to UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena, thus inviting listeners to reconsider conventional interpretations of the supernatural within a broader cosmic context.
