Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor. MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet. Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them. Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition - or even God - is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:20:27.664994+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756"},"episode":{"title":"Every Ancient Civilization Agreed: Your Soul Chose This Life Before You Were Born","slug":"every-ancient-civilization-agreed-your-soul-chose-this-life-before-you-were-born","published_at":"2026-06-19T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/every-ancient-civilization-agreed-your-soul-chose-this-life-before-you-were-born","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756","url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/arttrk.com/p/PMMIC/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1047/rss.art19.com/episodes/c5206f69-bac3-4574-9c41-36c93cf01c3f.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/arttrk.com/p/PMMIC/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1047/rss.art19.com/episodes/c5206f69-bac3-4574-9c41-36c93cf01c3f.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"What if your struggles, heartbreaks, illnesses, relationships, and biggest challenges were never random, but lessons your soul chose before you were born? In this very special episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim and Jonathan investigate one of the most controversial spiritual ideas ever discussed: Earth School — the theory that Earth is a classroom for the soul, and that every experience in your life has a deeper purpose. Near death experiencers around the world report strikingly similar revelations: - Choosing their lives before birth - Seeing a life review after death - Discovering a hidden purpose behind suffering - Learning that consciousness may survive physical death But that's only the beginning. Ancient civilizations separated by oceans, languages, and thousands of years all appear to describe the same mysterious journey of the soul. Could Plato, Tibetan mystics, Kabbalists, Buddhists, Hindu sages, and modern NDE survivors all be pointing toward the same hidden truth? We're breaking down: - Shocking NDEs that reveal life as a \"school\" - Why many NDE survivors return convinced they chose their challenges - Ancient story of a man who died, returned, and described souls selecting their next lives - Forgotten biblical teachings about reincarnation that were later rejected by church authorities - Tibetan, Buddhist, Hindu, Greek, and Kabbalistic traditions that describe the soul's evolution - Mysterious phenomenon of children who remember previous lives - Scientific research investigating NDEs & consciousness beyond death - Why suffering may be a lesson, not a punishment - Theory that humanity may be part of a much larger cosmic experiment - Whether Earth School is spiritual truth...or humanity's greatest coping mechanism Whether you're a skeptic, spiritua…","meta_description":"What if your struggles, heartbreaks, illnesses, relationships, and biggest challenges were never random, but lessons your soul chose before you were born?…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2189,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/episodes/every-ancient-civilization-agreed-your-soul-chose-this-life-before-you-were-born/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/every-ancient-civilization-agreed-your-soul-chose-this-life-before-you-were-born.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
