In this episode we meet Anthony Peake, acclaimed author and researcher of consciousness, who delves into some of the most profound questions about existence. Anthony discusses what happens when we die, drawing from his “Cheating the Ferryman” hypothesis, which suggests we may relive our lives over and over again with guidance from a higher version of ourselves—the daemon. With over 13 books to his name, Anthony masterfully bridges science and mysticism, offering a fresh lens on déjà vu, near-death experiences, and the nature of reality. He explains how modern neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and ancient wisdom all point to a greater understanding of consciousness beyond the brain. This mind-expanding conversation challenges the boundaries of what we believe to be real and opens the door to deep reflection about who we truly are. Please enjoy my episode with Anthony Peake.
