Robert Gilbert has spent more than three decades studying the space where ancient healing traditions meet modern science, from sacred geometry to the therapeutic use of sound. A former U.S. Marine Corps instructor turned researcher, he has built a career translating esoteric and vibrational healing systems into frameworks people can actually use. Robert Gilbert joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour for a conversation that ranges from the body to the beyond.
The discussion moves through some of the most searched, least understood corners of human experience: memories that feel older than one lifetime, what may happen after death, and how sound and vibration interact with the physical body, with Gilbert bringing decades of research to bear on each.
