What Really Happened in My Awakening? Legendary Physicist Federico Faggin’s View

About this episode

The episode features a discussion between Simon Mundie and Federico Faggin about the nature of awakening and its intersection with physics.

In this short episode, I ask pioneering physicist and microprocessor inventor Federico Faggin to unpack my recent awakening experience. We explore being “empty of self,” feeling lived by the universe, and how free will fits into a non‑dual view of reality. If you’ve ever wondered what really happens in awakening, this conversation offers a rare bridge between deep spirituality and cutting‑edge physics. 👉 Website: https://www.simonmundie.com/ 👉 Work with Simon - free 15 minute 1:1 consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-call 👉 Where Awakening Meets Real Life substack: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmSimonMundie Hosted on Acast.
