On the Get Obsessed podcast, host Mika Altidor interviews Stefano Siciliano, an American lifelong personal-growth seeker who began having spontaneous out-of-body experiences (OBEs) around age seven or eight and later learned what they were through Robert Monroe’s books, trained with Monroe and the Monroe Institute, and helped bring its technology to Eastern Bloc countries after the Soviet Republic collapsed; he now supports and endorses Darius J. Wright’s work.

He describes profound life changes from consciously seeing the body, including reduced fear of death and loss, and frames adversity as purposeful contrast that can create “availability” for transformation amid today’s societal chaos.
