Radical Reality #1 Is Consciousness Created by the Brain? Sound, Non-Local Mind & the Nature of Reality | Tom Kenyon

Is consciousness something the brain produces—or is the brain an interface for something far more vast?

In the first episode of Radical Reality, a new series within The Future of Wellness, Keith Parker is joined by sound healer, researcher, and teacher Tom Kenyon for a deep inquiry into consciousness, mind, sound, and non-local awareness.

Radical Reality is inspired by Keith’s first book of the same name and explores one of the most fundamental questions of our time: what are we really—and how do we know? These conversations are not debates. They are open-ended inquiries, shaped by lived experience and informed by science, philosophy, and contemplative traditions.

Tom Kenyon’s work sits at a rare intersection of neuroscience and mysticism, psychotherapy and sound, rigorous inquiry and direct experience. Over several decades, he has explored how sound, frequency, and vibration interact with the nervous system—and how altered states of consciousness can be accessed, stabilised, and integrated.

In this conversation, Keith and Tom explore:

• Whether consciousness is produced by the brain or accessed through it
• Sound as a bridge between states of awareness
• Non-local mind, attention, and subtle fields
• The limits of scientific measurement when studying consciousness
• Direct experience versus conceptual models of reality
• Why modern culture struggles to integrate inner knowing

This episode serves as an entry point—and a point of orientation—for the Radical Reality series ahead.
