In this episode of Seeking I, I sit down with Tim Grimes, author, coach, and one of the people responsible for reigniting modern interest in the work of Neville Goddard. Tim has spent nearly 30 years exploring consciousness, imagination, and what these teachings actually mean when you strip away the hype.
We dig into whether imagination genuinely influences physical reality or whether the effect is purely psychological. We discuss Neville Goddard and the very real danger of misinterpreting his work, Emile Coué and his largely forgotten but documented record of helping tens of thousands of people heal, and Maxwell Maltz's Psycho-Cybernetics as perhaps the most practical bridge between all of it.
Tim brings a rare combination, genuine depth with genuine scepticism, and he pulls no punches about where these teachings over-promise and under-deliver.
I also share something personal in this episode, a significant financial loss from my own crypto investments that raises a question I think anyone who has explored these ideas will recognise. I was living with complete conviction that things were set. And then they weren't. So what does that mean?
This is one of the more honest and grounded conversations I've had on Seeking I, and I think it will resonate with anyone who is drawn to these ideas but refuses to take them entirely on faith.

Tim Grimes, author and coach, joins me to explore whether imagination genuinely shapes physical reality, the psychology behind Neville Goddard and Emile Coué, and why the popular interpretation of ”living in the end” leaves most people worse off, not better.

Episode 111 - Is Your Imagination Shaping Your Reality? Neville, Coué & Consciousness with Tim Grimes

In this solo episode of the Seeking I podcast, I share a personal reflection on my experience with depression and how it changed the way I understand experience itself.
Rather than approaching depression purely from a self-help or clinical perspective, this episode explores something slightly different: what the condition reveals about how our internal experience is constructed.
How much of our emotional life reflects the external world, and how much is generated internally by the brain and mind?
Through personal reflection and careful observation, this discussion examines how shifts in mood can dramatically change how reality appears, and what that might tell us about consciousness more broadly.
This is not presented as medical advice, but as an honest exploration of experience and what it may reveal about the nature of mind.

A personal reflection on living with depression and what the experience reveals about how our minds construct emotional reality.

Episode 110 - What Depression Taught Me About the Nature of Experience

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Donna Thomas, whose research explores children’s extraordinary and so-called “extrasensory” experiences.
We discuss:
<ul>
<li>
The unexamined materialist assumptions embedded in social science
</li>
<li>
What we mean by “self,” “identity,” and “subjectivity”
</li>
<li>
Children’s reports of unusual experiences
</li>
<li>
Whether physicalist models have sufficient explanatory power
</li>
<li>
Why certain forms of experience are dismissed before being examined
</li>
</ul>
This is not a conversation about belief. It’s a discussion about explanatory frameworks and intellectual honesty.

In this conversation, Liam Breck discusses his journey into empirical metaphysics, exploring the intersection of natural sciences, human experiences, and superphysical phenomena. He emphasizes the need for a collective scholarly effort to synthesize data from various fields, including UFO studies, shamanism, and afterlife research. Breck also addresses the implications of childhood past life memories, the metacrisis facing humanity, and the Gaia hypothesis, suggesting that understanding these elements is crucial for grasping human history vs human experiences.

In this conversation, Adam Lloyd Johnson, a Christian philosopher, discusses the complexities of faith, morality, and the nature of God. He addresses common objections to Christianity, including the problem of evil and the concept of hell. The dialogue explores the relationship between faith and reason, the origins of morality, and the significance of consciousness. Johnson emphasizes the importance of evidence in belief formation and advocates for open dialogue between differing perspectives. The conversation also touches on historical evidence for Jesus and the implications of near-death experiences.
