Dr. Gregg Korbon’s life was rooted in science, discipline, and achievement—through medicine, military service, martial arts, and teaching. But when his son, Brian, a deeply intuitive and gifted child, died just before his tenth birthday - just as he had predicted to his parents - everything changed. Out of unimaginable loss came dreams, synchronicities, and spiritual encounters that challenged the limits of reason. In this episode, we explore the themes of his book Beyond Reason: the transformative power of grief, the role of faith and intuition, and how loss can open us to a deeper consciousness of love and connection. Dr. Korbon also shares insights for those navigating grief, bridging the worlds of science and spirituality, and carrying forward the legacies of those we love.
