Yeah. And I couldn't speak about it until now, that it's possible to communicate with someone that's passed away. And I'm saying it from the point of view of being a neuroscientist and a psychiatrist. And it's taboo because we are afraid that people will think we're going insane. I mean, I've been part of teams that have locked people up and had them injected with stuff against their will because of things they were saying that's not that dissimilar to things I've experienced. So I wanted to find out as much science as I could to try to back it up.

Steven Bartlett (0:59)

And do you think you found the answer?

Tara Swart (1:01)

Yeah.

Steven Bartlett (1:01)

How sure are you?

Tara Swart (1:02)

100%. And the things I found out are going to shock you.

Steven Bartlett (1:06)

The floor is yours.

Tara Swart (1:07)

OK. So I'm Dr. Tara Swart. I'm a neuroscientist and a medical doctor who specialized in psychiatry. And I lost my beloved husband to leukemia almost four years ago, two days before our fourth wedding anniversary. And everything I believed in had gone wrong.

I was just totally lost and broken. But then I started getting signs from my husband. And in my desperation, I did consult a couple of mediums, but not being impressed by them. I ended up thinking, if it's possible to communicate with someone that's passed away, and I am all about optimizing my brain, then I should be able to do it myself. So I went down a rabbit hole. And what I've uncovered in this research is going to have a really beneficial effect on a lot of people. Why? Because it means that we are capable of so much more than what we think the human mind is capable of.

So listen, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try and ask the questions and challenge you in ways that I think the viewer might challenge you.

Tara Swart (2:02)

I want you to ask me those questions.

Dr. Tara Swart, good to see you again.

Tara Swart (2:55)

You too.

Steven Bartlett (2:56)

Thank you for coming back. You are our most viewed guest on the show of all time. Our last conversation did just over 20 million views and downloads, which is pretty staggering, but you're back to talk about something entirely different this time, which is this idea of science, which kind of intertwines with all of your work on neuroscience that you've done throughout your career. My first question to you is, what is it that you think you know that the vast majority of people don't quite understand, comprehend or have accepted yet? And take me right back to the sort of first principles of that thinking.

Tara Swart (3:30)

I believe that we are capable of so much more than what we think the human mind is capable of now. And I believe that the brain actually filters down the capability of the mind so that we can exist on this material plane. And things that I found out doing research for The Signs is going to shock you. The abilities that we have that we're not aware of are way beyond what you might even imagine right now.
