EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW MARK MINCOLLA, PH.D., DR. DEEPAK CHOPRA & CHRISTINA VIRCILLO BRESSON
INTERVIEW BY SANDRA SEDGBEER
With climate change, Covid, geopolitical upheaval, and war causing stress, anxiety, fear, depression, and ill health across the globe, there's never been a more important time to discover that regardless of what is happening around us or to us, we all have the power to create miracles that can transform our health, our lives, and the future of humanity. If you find that hard to believe, then check out the ground-breaking, multi-award-winning film, The Way of Miracles, which follows the work of holistic practitioner, quantum energy healer, and nutritional therapist Dr. Mark Mincolla. Along with compelling interviews from celebrated luminaries in the field, including Dr. Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, Rupert Sheldrake, Rollin McCraty, Ph.D. among others, plus true stories of people who have created miracle healings in their lives, the movie takes us on a transformative journey into miracle healings, which, in the words of Deepak Chopra "should convince you that life and existence are miracles, and healing is a return to our original state of true awareness and bliss.”
The following interview was conducted by Sandie Sedgbeer with renowned new thought teacher and best-selling author, Dr. Deepak Chopra: Chopra, Quantum energy healer and nutritional therapist, Mark Mincolla, Ph.D., and awardwinning producer and director, Christina Vircillo Bresson.

That's how the whole thing came together. Sandie Sedgbeer: Deepak, you've been writing about quantum healing, infinite potential, super genes, reinventing the body, and resurrecting the soul for many years. You've created your documentaries and appeared in many others, so none of this was new to you. What excited you about getting involved with this particular project?
Sandie Sedgbeer: Christina, if I could start with you, the timing of this documentary couldn't be more perfect. The world badly needs miracles, so tell us how it came about, whose idea it was, and how the three of you came together in its production. Christina V. Bresson: I'd been working with Deepak for years in this field, and Mark was brought to my attention. I started to look him up and saw he'd dedicated his life to healing others and the 60,000+ patients that he's seen. The results were incredible, and I thought, this is a story that must be told.
I wanted to bring a lot of the work that Deepak and I had been doing and threading it throughout the film through Mark's stories and these patients' stories, which are incredible, and thread the science through it.
Dr. Deepak Chopra: I've always been interested in healing. I've always had this insight that there is no biological explanation for any experience right now. All that's happening in the nervous system is electrochemistry. When you're looking at me, you hear sound. There's no sound in your brain. No images. No colors. We experience the universe. So, in my view, existence is a miracle, and if existence is a miracle, then every moment is a miracle. The word miracle means to be filled with wonder, so if you're not filled with wonder every second of your existence, then your humanity is incomplete. I wanted to make this point that anyone who thinks that every moment, including disease, birth, and death, we don't know why we have experience. Consciousness is a miracle. After that, everything is a miracle. That's why I wanted to make this point. It's the return of the memory of wholeness. That's it.
OMTIMES.COM
Sandie Sedgbeer: That's true, but I think, as Mark's book proves, people do need a bit of science to give credibility to the idea. I think this is something that everybody, everybody in the world, needs to understand. So, Mark, your latest book is The Way of Miracles, Accessing Your Super Consciousness. Did you write the book before or after the movie? Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: From the beginning, I started writing the book as Tina and I were mapping everything out for the film. So, I wrote it in parallel with the filming. Sandie Sedgbeer: Christina, Mark has seen many in the people he's worked with. How did you choose which stories to share in the film? Christina V. Bresson: I wanted to make sure that we had different healing stories in the film, so there would be something for everybody because depending on where you are in your awareness in this space, you have a different perspective, so we wanted to have healing stories that were associated with around food as medicine, the effects of your emotional health and your thoughts on your physicality, and go deeper into the spiritual nature and then go all the way into the soul.
So, I wanted to span across the various patient's stories so that as a viewer, there's something for you when you come to the film. Ultimately, it spans this whole-person medicine. Sandie Sedgbeer: Deepak, the movie, and Mark's book address super consciousness. What is super consciousness, and how does it relate to healing and miracle-making? Dr. Deepak Chopra: In wisdom traditions, super consciousness is pure consciousness without being modified in the conditioned mind. When the mind is conditioned through economics, history, race, and everything we call experience, it never gives us access to the truth because your mind tells you your body's a 3-dimensional, physical entity. That's not true either.
So, what is consciousness? Consciousness modifies itself with experience and mind, the body, emotions, words, perceptions, and any sensation, image, feeling, and thought. That's what consciousness modifies itself into. Before it changes itself into that experience, it has certain qualities: 1. it's a field of infinite possibilities, it's formless, it's self-organizing, 2. it's self-regulating, and it's creative. So left alone, pure consciousness is all you need for self-regulation— homeostasis, which we call healing.

"The miracle or the power that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the promptings of a brave, determined spirit." MARK TWAIN
OMTIMES.COM
Sandie Sedgbeer: Mark, you've been practicing as a nutritional therapist and quantum energy healer for many years, and you've witnessed countless miracles. You led a relatively healthy life, yet you also had your own experience of lifethreatening illness from which you cured yourself. How did you do that? Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: Well, right in the middle of the film, as we were getting ready to create an opportunity for those patients to tell their unique, remarkable miracle stories, I was bitten by a Lyme tick, and I got very sick with Lyme disease, and essentially was paralyzed for the better part of two weeks. The physicians that I work with, many friends of mine in different hospitals, were not convinced I would be able to walk again. I did some very serious soul searching during that period, and I decided that I wanted to confront myself. I'd fallen on a hard tile bathroom floor and spent 14 hours on the floor, and during that time, I had some very serious questions about my life.
I confronted myself deeply about how I felt about living if I couldn't move my body anymore. If I was in a wheelchair, if I was crippled, if I was disadvantaged to that extent, would I still be able to muster up the spirit to do what I've always wanted to do, what I was planning on doing in this case, and I didn't have an answer? OMTIMES.COM
So about 25 minutes go by in the middle of this question — do I want to continue to live and do what I'm doing if I'm profoundly compromised? – and I didn't have an answer. Then suddenly, out of the blue, I started screaming for help, which showed me that I wanted to live. That's how I knew how I wanted to continue regardless, unconditionally. I was alarmed and shocked by the fact that I was so driven to call for help, and that's what awakened me to that possibility. From that point on, I started putting the pieces of a different vision together for myself. Visualizing myself well, capable, fully engaged physically, healed, and whole, and more than capable of doing the work I so dreamed of doing. My life changed. My body changed; my cells changed. I'm convinced that the supplements I took, the nutrition plan I was on, and the different therapeutic adjuncts were very important in the healing process. But the single most important thing that brought me through that and took me to the next level of my work was that my deeper mind was determined to do stuff. I was fully dedicated to seeing it through and being well. And then it happened. I became whole again, and I've been fine ever since. Sandie Sedgbeer: Christina, several luminaries that appear in The Way of Miracles. Tell us who they are and why you chose them. Christina V. Bresson: Obviously, Deepak is in the film, and we know all about his work. Dr. Shamini Jain talks about the science of the biofield. So that's the bridge between the mind and the body and is governed by consciousness.
OMTIMES.COM
So, when Mark's doing work, tapping into people, he's tapping into this conscious living space. We have Dr. Paul Mills, who's done much work with Deepak at the Chopra center, research on the importance of gratitude and an open heart and just the biological effects on inflammation. Self-love is also an important part of this film, so Rollin McCraty from Heart Math Institute. Bruce Lipton talks about epigenetics. Menas Kafatos speaks about understanding reality's deeper nature, which is very exciting for me to share in this film. And Rupert Sheldrake. I was so fortunate to have them all and thread them throughout the film. Throughout the patients' healing stories and Beverly Rubik, who coined the word biofield – it's an incredible line-up.
Dr. Deepak Chopra: Science is a methodology that involves three things: observation, experiment, and validation or falsification. Science is very limited in its ability to know fundamental truth. So, we should be very careful in differentiating science from scientism. Scientism is a religion, and science is a methodology. Science deals with less than 1% of human experience.
MOC.SEMITMO
Sandie Sedgbeer: Deepak, tell us what science reveals about the connection between the heart or the unconsciousness and the neuroscience of miracles.
Nevertheless, from a scientific perspective, when you look at concepts like biofield, energy, and modalities like Reiki and nutrition, we're beginning to understand that less than 5% of disease-related gene mutations are fully penetrant. So, somebody has a gene, as Angelina Jolie had. She had a mastectomy to prevent her from getting cancer, which was the right thing to do because few genes are fully penetrant in cancer, autoimmune, etc. Fully penetrant means they guarantee the disease.
OMTIMES.COM
I'm in conversation with people who are creating Crispr. In the next few years, you'll be able to cut and paste genes the same way you cut and paste emails to remove the affected gene and insert the normal gene, and you should cure the disease. We are again, having said that only 5% or less will be affected by that. So, the rest of what we call healing is based on sleep, stress management, mind-body coordination, emotions, biological rhythms, connection to nature, transcendence, and directing attention and intention. True consciousness is modifying our experiences of sensation, which is feeling thought, a fundamental experience. The rest is a human story. Even science is a human construct. Right now, all the people who are fossils of scientism like Richard Hawkins and many others don't know the difference between scientific methodology and scientism, which is a religion. Science itself is an activity in consciousness. Science does not explain consciousness. Quantum mechanics does not explain consciousness. It's the other way around. Consciousness explains science! All these different modalities work synergistically to bring about the infinite.
Sandie Sedgbeer: Mark, you say that as much as we may be reluctant to admit it, we are divine. We can't be any less divine or any more human than we are. We are a perfectly imperfect dichotomy. Say more about that. Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: I think of a metaphor like the Tai Chi circle (Ying Yang). I look at the Tai Chi circle and see a perfect circular whole: it's made up of two mutually compatible opposites. There's the dark with the light and the light with the dark. They're representatives of the metaphor of who we are. We are light. We are dark. We are whole if we perceive ourselves as such.
We tend to separate ourselves from this in this culture. We're raised to see ourselves with religious distortions, with the idea that we're sinners, that we should be guilt-ridden, we did this wrong, we do that wrong, we make mistakes. We tend to focus on a judgmental spirit within ourselves. I think it's important to utilize the concept of the Tai Chi circle, for example, and see the beautiful part of our higher self and lower self, the beautiful part of our divine self and our broken child, our wounded child self, and see that there is a complete whole there.
OMTIMES.COM
There's no greater beauty in our life than to embrace the wholeness of what we are. I've seen so many miracles healing over the years, remarkable healings, endstage cancer. Many patients I work with have done miracles. But many don't see it that way. They don't know their healing came about from themselves. They see that I did it, or that medicine did it, or that their family doctor or medical team did it. They just don't know they did it. So, I think there's a self-contempt fact in there that we need to evolve beyond into a place of unconditional self-love. One of the things I often say to my patients goes home and check out your scrapbooks, your family photos. Find a picture of yourself at five years old and look at yourself as a five-year-old and see two things: innocence and deservedness. There's a purity there that we forget as we age. In many cases, we don't do well moving from that earlier phase of our lives with innocence and deservedness into an adult phase where we see ourselves more critically. It's important to realize that innocence and deservedness are never gone. They're always there, for all eternity. It's who we are and what we're made of.
DR. MARK MINCOLLA, PH.D It's conceptually representative of our whole total self. So, it's important to create little exercises for people to tap into their innocence and deservedness. Sandie Sedgbeer: Christina, you were already very aware of many things that the movie covers, but was there anything you learned that changed your perspective?
Christina V. Bresson: Absolutely. The film worked on me while I worked on it. Many of the wisdom that Mark or the luminaries were sharing had me going, 'Oh my gosh. I do that.' I was able to do a lot of inner alchemy work while I worked on the film, so that was eyeopening. When you see your issues, control or self-judgment or things so of course, it had a transformative effect on me, I came to the film mentally knowing a lot.
Still, when you get into a practice, an embodiment practice, you really can have some inner transformation and build a deeper connection with yourself. Sandie Sedgbeer: Deepak, you said we need to know ourselves in a new way, and your latest book, Meta-Human, unlocks the secret to moving beyond our present limitations to access a field of infinite possibilities. Meta-Human, what does that mean? Dr. Deepak Chopra: Meta-Human means knowing yourself as not a person. There's no such thing as a person. A person is a process in awareness, and awareness is formless and infinite, and that's our true identity. As soon as you recognize that, you recognize that you as a person do not exist.
That's when you go beyond human to MetaHuman, where you know yourself as infinite, formless, fundamental without cause, non-local. The pure potential of all that was, all that is, and all that will ever be. If you can ground your identity from human to Metahuman, then you consciously create your reality. Otherwise, you're creating it anyway—everything that you see, touch, taste, smell, think about, enact with feeling is a direct reflection, every moment of your space of awareness because when you go to fundamental awareness, then you realize that everything from the physical world reflects your consciousness and your conditioned mind. The Metahuman is what traditional wisdom traditions call liberation from suffering, enlightenment. But again, so long as you're a person, you will not be liberated from suffering because your mind jumped from pleasure to pain, and extreme pleasure and extreme pain are the same. You have to transcend that. I make a difference personally between belief and faith. I think that belief usually ends up in a cover-up for insecurity. If I ask, 'Do you believe in electricity?' You say, 'I can experience it. It's on my phone. It's on my computer.' So, we tend to believe in things we want to believe in, and we are insecure about it. On the other hand, faith is a direct experience of your invisible self and the certainty of your invisible self without needing anything visible, and that's a certain experience. It's nothing to do with belief.
OMTIMES MAGAZINE
Sandie Sedgbeer: Mark, in your book, you said there's always been a shadow of darkness lurking in the backdrop of life, and like the 600-pound gorilla in the corner of the room, it's impossible to ignore. What is that darkness? Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: The darkness is a separation—the illusion of separation—there's no such thing as separation, but it's embracing the illusion unconsciously. I don't love myself; I don't know myself, and I trust the world. I think there's a darkness that is part of our experience that has to teach us, to inspire us, bring us to a place of spirit, a place of consciousness that's more inclined to accept and embrace the love of self, the wholeness, and lack of separation that is in the universe.
The universe is unified; everything is unified in the universe, and I think the darkness is the fear to embrace that, the inability to connect with all that and merge with the unification, the unwillingness or incapability or the fear that everything is one, everything is whole, everything is perfectly imperfect the way it is and to simply embrace that with a sense of deep, hopeful trust. Without that, there's the illusion of darkness. I think the darkness is an illusion. Sandie Sedgbeer: Deepak, Mark says that accessing our miracle-making self is quite simple. What suggestions would you offer to people to help them access their new miracle-making self?
OMTIMES MAGAZINE
Dr. Deepak Chopra: Instead of identifying situations, circumstances, and events as the cause of how you feel, how you feel orchestrates situations, circumstances, events, and relationships. The feeling is the most fundamental activity of pure consciousness; even organisms without brains feel their way. The feeling that you're connected. If you happen to experience the connectedness, the feeling is empathy, compassion, joy, equanimity, love, and service. That's how you access the source of all experiences. You connect with the source of the experience. Instead of identifying with objects, you identify with the sound in which those objects are a perceptual activity. So anytime you are overshadowed by experience, you turn back to the self.
I ask you right now as you are listening to me. Just be aware of who is listening, and you'll feel the still presence. Any time you can turn from the objects of experience to the source of the experience called self-report? instead of object experience, it's called self-refer instead of an object reference. Or, of course, you can observe the space between perceptions, the space between sounds, the space between thoughts. It's all the same space, infinite, formless, fundamental, consciousness, before space and time.
Sandie Sedgbeer: Mark, what would you advise people if they're looking to know their miracle-making self? Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: I think Deepak hit the word – 'source.' I think that to realize that you don't have a source, you are the source stemming from that place, and you choose to project your beingness through that source consciously and to make the connection that consciousness isn't something you have, it's something that you are, something that you never lose. I think that's the key. I think the source is what enlightens us in that process. Sandie Sedgbeer: Yeah, I get that. Mark, what does nutrition have to do with miracle-making? You say that there are four states of awareness that present very many manifestations of consciousness. What are they? Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: I bring those into the miracle equation as well. I say that it distills down to our relationship with miracles. Miracles can be rejected, they can be accepted, they can be expected, and they can be created. When we can evolve from rejecting through the evolutionary process to creation, I think when we have the states occupying the source, coming from the source, knowing that you are a source. Then, you could emanate your energy through that source.
OMTIMES MAGAZINE
Sandie Sedgbeer: Disease. You talk about disease germinates at the soul level. Deepak, could you speak to that. Dr. Deepak Chopra: Dis-ease. Just the word tells you it begins with dis-ease. You lose your lightness of being. So, the fundamental state of a biological organism, not just humans, any biological organism, should be joyful. But as we grow into mammals and humans and primates, we experience emotions so love, compassion.
As humans, we also desire to have a clear, reflective, alert mind and lightness of being. These are the four aspects of what I call wholeness or healing: 1.a joyful, energetic body, 2.a loving, compassionate heart, 3.the reflective, creative mind, 4. a lightness of being. But the lightness of being can only occur if your fundamental identity is formless. So ultimate healing is transcendence, number one, the emergence of platonic values like truth, goodness, beauty, harmony, number 2, and loss of the fear of death. Death happens to mental constructs, not you. Sandie Sedgbeer: Mark, in your book, The Way of Miracles, you offer a simple exercise to balance our heart state. Can you share that with us? Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: There are several exercises in the book that are interchangeable Issue 27 | 234
The most important exercise, to me, is one where I ask the reader to go to a mirror and look into the core of your eyes, eyeball to eyeball, and spend ten minutes undistracted, looking into the core of your eyes and open yourself up to feel what you feel, to be clear about the fact that there's an essence. You feel the essence that is you, not the essence that is yours, but the essence that is you, and to feel a warmth, a love, an is-ness, a connection, and a conscious blanketing of energy to that essence that is you and feel that essence. There are also different heart exercises where I talk about putting the hands over the heart, engaging in deep breathing. As you deep breathe, you feel the chi, the energy in your hands draw the energy of your breath into your heart chakra and to release it as love, to breathe it in like energy, as life force, and to breathe it out as love. There are many different exercises that are centrally focused on connecting us with source, with essence, with love, with the vibration, the energy of love. To make "love" to a whole different level of understanding. To take it away from the material properties, from the physicality, from a perspective of isness, just a pure state of warmth, and to feel that exchange between self and source is what I'm trying to accomplish with those exercises in the book. So, I think it's important that we take the time to know and love the self-source.
Sandie Sedgbeer: Christina, the book contains so much information that obviously could not be part of the movie. If you were to make a sequel, is there anything you want to expand on or include? Christina V. Bresson: There was a lot I wanted to include in terms of different science, more on heart rate variability, neuroplasticity, the vagus nerve, but maybe if there's a part 2.But there are also many practical tools in the book; that's why they work so well together. People see the film and want to know what the next steps are? What can I do? They can go right to the book and work with the practical tools and things to empower themselves and have your transformation. So, they work in tandem together. Dr. Deepak Chopra: Yes. Christina is the executive producer, and she's very involved in where we are and in the next evolution of AI and Digital Deepak. She and I have worked together for three years on this, and it's still a work in progress. Sandie Sedgbeer: But you've also said that while AI is touted as a huge advance, the irony is that the direct perils of AI are already here in the form of our human intelligence. Say a little bit more about that.
OMTIMES MAGAZINE
Dr. Deepak Chopra: Well, unless we evolve beyond our tribal mindset—we're still living in medieval minds and modern capacities – that's a sure route for extinction, so unless our emotional and spiritual evolution keeps pace with our amazing creativity and technology, we could be doomed. It's about time for us to wake up to our fundamental nature. Then we can use all these technologies to help create a critical mass for more peaceful justice and the world's health. Otherwise, I think we're sleepwalking ourselves to extinction. Sandie Sedgbeer: You have been teaching about spirituality and wellness for many, many years. Looking at where the world is at today, do you feel that it's devolving rather than evolving? Dr. Deepak Chopra: It's doing both. For every step forward, there's half a step backward, and that's the nature of evolution. If there were only creativity, we wouldn't have any brakes on it. If there were only entropy, that would also be a problem. So, I think we're just evolving as a species and learning that we evolve not just as biological organisms but as sentient ecosystems.
And once we understand that we already have the technologies for reversing climate change, but fixing the ecosystem, for creating a biosphere that's nurturing to all of life. But we don't have the right story right now. We don't have the emotional and spiritual connection with what we call the environment of the biosphere. That's another problem with the word 'environment.' It's our extended body, so the atmosphere is our breath, the universe is our circulation, the earth is the recycling of our body. OMTIMES MAGAZINE
The stars make the atoms circulating in our bodies right now, and they all share the same breath, so we are personal and universal bodies. If you put a rabbit in a vacuum, it dies. If you put a plant in a vacuum, it dies. You put them both together; they thrive. So, unless we change our vocabulary and the current idea that science treats us as biological organisms in an environment where we are the universe itself, we are the source of all experience. And that's why transcendence from mental construct is the fundamental key to our evolution and using technology humanely and divinely instead of diabolical. Sandie Sedgbeer: Christina, in directing and producing the movie, what element made you especially proud? Christina V. Bresson: I think that bringing awareness to the very powerful inner world we all have. And hopefully, through that awareness, people will be empowered to evolve consciously and become the miracle makers they are. So that was important to me. Sandie Sedgbeer: Mark?
Mark Mincolla, Ph.D.: I think the single most important thought that I brought into this film, and to the book as well, was that if there's anybody in the world, anybody in the universe that I could open up a little bit of light for, out of love, I'd be happy. That they are miracles. And they are miracle makers, after that fact. But they must first connect with that, to know that they are a source that's eternal, limitless, full of light and love, and has no limitation. That is what they are. That is the source of their being. So, the miracles they are, are here to create several resounding, loving miracles. At the same time, they're conscious of the fact, to make them more aware that they can make miracles that are limitless, endless, and resplendent. That's the most important thing I wanted to awaken in people—and inspire.

When you look at the view of Earth from space, you are immediately in awe of what you do see: the incredible beauty of Creation. It is not until you look closer that you realize what you do not see. You do not see lines partitioning countries. You do not see separation between races. You do not see division between religions. You do not see the walls people build to isolate themselves from each other. There is only One Planet. There is only One Humanity. This section is dedicated to introducing thoughts and ideas to foster a greater understanding of Humanity’s interdependence.

The Way of Miracles: Accessing Your Superconsciousness What powers miracles? You do. According to Mark Mincolla, PhD, miracles don’t just happen on their own. Through the development of our superconscious mind and the recognition of the divine source within each of us, we have the power to create them for ourselves. The Way of Miracles is an adventure for the mind and spirit that begins with the premise that miracles don’t randomly happen — we create them! According to Mark Mincolla, PhD, developing our superconscious mind and recognizing the divine source that exists within each of us is what generates miracles. A wholistic physician for more than three decades, Mark used his own techniques and learnings to cure himself of a life-threatening illness. In The Way of Miracles, he shares experiences, documented research, and exercises that he provides his patients and uses himself to raise consciousness in order to cultivate the ability to heal and create miracles that have a lasting effect. Mark Mincolla provides insight from decades of experiences— including that of his own personal miraculous healing—documented research, and exercises to help you improve your health and wellbeing by becoming your own miracle maker in The Way of Miracles: Accessing Your Superconsciousness.
