The divide between scientific skepticism and spiritual exploration represents one of humanity's most fascinating frontiers. When Greg Ormont, the charismatic frontman of jam band sensation Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, sits down to discuss his journey across this divide, something extraordinary unfolds.

Details

Greg arrives at our conversation as a self-described "evidence-based" person; someone who built his worldview on observable facts and rational explanations. Through a remarkable series of experiences—beginning with his wife's undeniable intuitive abilities and culminating in his own past life regression—his perspective underwent a profound transformation.

"I've always been like a very science-based, evidence-based mind," Greg explains, "and my mind so quickly tries to safeguard me." This protection mechanism, designed to shield us from uncertainty, often prevents us from exploring realms beyond our comfortable understanding. For Greg, the gateway to broader possibilities came through Dr. Brian Weis' work on past life regression—particularly compelling because Weis himself began as a skeptical psychiatrist before his evidence led him elsewhere.

What makes Greg's story so compelling is his ability to hold two seemingly contradictory perspectives simultaneously. During his regression, he experienced life as an orphaned child in what appeared to be 19th century London while maintaining full awareness of his present self. This dual consciousness allowed him to observe both the experience and his reactions to it, noting with surprise how his speech patterns shifted to match the child he was embodying.

The past life Greg accessed wasn't glorious or heroic—it was filled with abandonment, grief, and ultimately starvation. This unexpected narrative actually strengthened his belief in the experience's authenticity. "Why would I make that up for myself?" he questions, recognizing that imagination typically gravitates toward more positive scenarios.

For musicians and creative people, Greg suggests there's a natural bridge to spiritual exploration through the flow state experienced during performance. "When you reach a flow state, the energy going back and forth between band members and fans—I have experienced it plenty," he reflects. "There's just an energy out there and you don't need to explain away everything."

Whether you're a steadfast skeptic or deeply spiritual, Greg's journey offers valuable perspective on how we might expand our understanding without abandoning critical thinking. His willingness to remain open while questioning everything models a balanced approach to life's greatest mysteries. How might your perspective shift if you allowed yourself the same freedom to explore?
