Welcome to the first episode of 2025 on the Spirituality Now Podcast!
In this captivating episode, we had the privilege of sitting down with the brilliant Manuel Delaflor, an epistemologist and philosopher of science whose work bridges the worlds of consciousness, philosophy, and human nature.
Manuel’s journey began at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where he collaborated on groundbreaking research, including the renowned “Transferred Potential” study with Jacobo Grinberg. His expertise expanded into cognitive science and neuroscience at the Philosophical Investigations Institute, and later into innovative financial algorithms during his tenure with Liv Capital.
Currently, Manuel leads transformative research as the Director of the Metacognition Institute (MCI), where biofeedback and cognitive analysis empower individuals to manage stress and enhance decision-making. He also collaborates with Clemson University’s Human-AI Empowerment Lab, exploring the role of AI in advancing human cognition.
In this episode, we delve into:
- The power of consciousness and cognition.
- The “Transferred Potential” study and its implications.
- Practical tools for achieving mental clarity.
- The groundbreaking research at the Metacognition Institute.
- The intersection of art, science, and well-being.
- How AI can empower, not replace, human intelligence.
This episode is a treasure trove for those seeking to expand their understanding of consciousness and explore the intersection of science, philosophy, and spirituality.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
