Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 716
Is the very fabric of our reality rooted in consciousness and are we missing its true power?
Mark Gober, Award-Winning Author, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 716, to uncover why our minds are more than just physical organs, how unseen forces shape our everyday experiences, and what it really means to live in alignment with our soul’s purpose.

Power Quotes From The Show
The Body Is Consciousness
“If everything's consciousness, how could there be a brain that's receiving consciousness? That's implying the separation that might not be there. Maybe the brain is picking up consciousness from beyond the body, which means that a human being is a vehicle or a vessel of consciousness on one level. And on another level, the body itself might be consciousness.” – Mark Gober
Consciousness Creates Reality
“If everything is consciousness, then everything is malleable to some degree. And therefore the way in which we direct our consciousness in theory, is going to affect reality because reality is consciousness and nothing's actually physical.” – Mark Gober
Time Is a Construct of The Mind
“The sequence of past to present to future, or beginning, middle, and end, is a construct of the mind. If we think about the past, it's a memory. It doesn't exist. It's just something in our mind right now. And the future is the same thing. It's something we hold in our mind right now, and the present is something we hold in our mind right now.” – Mark Gober
