Imaginal cells are responsible for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, the Greek symbol for the soul. These cells are dormant in the caterpillar but at a critical point of development they create the new form and structure which becomes the butterfly. In the podcast series Imaginal Inspirations, David Lorimer talks to transformational authors and scientists about the experiences, people and books that have shaped their life and work.

    Corina Angela: Connecting

    David's guest this month is Corina Angela, who is Noetic Intelligence Researcher working at the intersection of consciousness, non-ordinary cognition, somatic embodiment, and future innovation.  With more than five decades of direct experiential inquiry, including scores of out-of-body experiences, several near-death experiences, lifelong NHI contact beginning in childhood, intuitive perception, telepathic communication, automatic writing, and expanded states of awareness, her work deeply researches and documents how consciousness becomes information, moves through discernment and embodiment, and is brought into physical form. In 2019, Corina received Transference: Connect to Your Soul-Self telepathically from Edgar Cayce and Gladys Davis Turner and channel-wrote the book within four months. She is the creator of The Transference Experience™, a facilitated experience for people who want to better understand what they are perceiving, trust their own inner knowing, and discover possibilities or experiences they may not be able to fully explain. Since 2020, Corina has also created The Chronicles of Corina Angela & Nikola Tesla, an ongoing body of work published on Patreon documenting her communications, experiences, and exploration connected to Nikola Tesla, consciousness, intelligence, and future possibilities.  Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness.
