The Three Minds Framework and Consciousness
Summary: A conversation about a three-level model of mind that links spiritual awakening, identity, and perception. The discussion also explores how this framework applies to medicine, mental health, and the limits of a purely physical view of healing.
Questions This Interview Explores
- How can a spontaneous awakening be integrated into ordinary life, work, and relationships?
- What are the three minds, and how do they change the way we understand identity and perception?

Anoop Kumar communicates a bold, new vision of healing and healthcare based in a more comprehensive understanding of whole human anatomy–a crucial step in the journey of healthcare transformation. He is the founder of Health Revolution, an emergency physician, public speaker, and author of Michelangelo’s Medicine: How Redefining the Human Body Will Transform Health and Healthcare and Is This a Dream?: Reflections on the Awakening Mind, and a columnist for Emergency Medicine News.
Integrating a deeper understanding of consciousness with our existing medical knowledge is foundational to Anoop’s work. To further this, he developed the Three Minds framework–a trans-disciplinary approach that develops and integrates our knowledge of consciousness, mind, body, and the environment. He applies the Three Minds framework to identify unexamined tenets ripe for disruption and rehabilitation in healthcare.
By training, Anoop is board-certified in emergency medicine and holds a master’s degree in management with a focus in health leadership.
