Can we Crack the Mind-Body Problem? Part III – Emmanuel Ransford
...I hope to bolster the idea that a nonmaterialist, yet scientifically sound, theory of brain consciousness is possible. My approach is tentative and should be read with a “what if” mindset—what if matter were holomatter? I’ll then freely speculate on the issue of transcendence, as glimpsed through the lens of in-causation. Next, I’ll contend that science provides some intriguing clues that our life-bearing universe may have meaning and purpose. Finally, I shall ponder how Gödelian incompleteness and in-causation may relate.
Featuring Lorna Green – #8: And so, Let’s Just Stop Believing the Lies
The male thought traditions have run their course, they have brought us to the brink of our distinction, they are over with. And new ideas must be found, we need new ways of thought and perception, and we need them now.

Featuring Lorna Green – #7: Another reason for hope: The end of male domination
The light that is falling in is surfacing the darkness before it. The Feminine Principle is reappearing in history, changing everything. Courage, the current of life is ever onward. And it is never so dark as just before the dawn.
Interview with GC Adviser Dr Eben Alexander with Cathy Heller
What can near death experiences teach us about our consciousness and universal connectedness? Dr. Eben Alexander, academic neurosurgeon and NYT bestselling author was given a 2% chance of survival during his 7 day coma from bacterial meningitis - but he fought for his life and miraculously came back to tell what happened when he was in that other realm. He shares what he learned in his NDE about our shared sense of oneness, how we can live beyond the 3D while we're in this physical world, what happens when we pass into the afterlife, how to separate from the ego voice in your head and how we can tap into our ability to heal, our wholeness, and our higher soul.
Featuring Lorna Green – #6: Poetic Interlude
The winds of change are blowing everywhere, through our academies, our laboratories, our hermit cells, bringing with them new forces of life and hope, new ways of being, knowing, and understanding.
Einstein’s Abandoned Otherworld – Mukhopadhyay, AK
...In the process, the dark cold terrain of the depth cosmology beyond zero-point energy and the warm enlightened vast of depth psychology has been systematized. The organogram of the activities between zero-point energy and conscious “will” has been constructed. The door is let open for deep physics of dark energy, information, and life.
Featuring Lorna Green – #5: My Second Reason for Hope: The Women
Women need to reclaim their own power, their truth, their validity and bring into civilization fully the new ideas now showing up everywhere. It is the emerging presence of women and of the feminine that now make this moment in our history with its incredible challenges a day of shining hope for us. And there is a world to be born under our footsteps.

The addition of healing therapy to conventional treatment was associated with improvement in symptoms and QoL in IBS, and to a lesser extent in IBD.
Featuring Lorna Green – #4: Where do we go from here?
The hope for the planet is that the long repressed and buried Feminine Principle is reappearing in history, putting to flight the darkness before it.
Can Thoughts Exist Outside the Brain? – Joshua Moritz
In a very real sense, then, my mind is not my own, but rather it is a product of the various contexts that I choose to inhabit and the things I choose to think upon. As Paul reflected many centuries ago, if I resolve to think upon whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, and excellent, then that is what my mind becomes.
Featuring Lorna Green – #3: Let’s Remember Ourselves
Every day, at every moment, we are facing the choice between good and evil, Love or fear. Every one matters, you are the one who can make the difference, your hour is here, your time is now.
Dr Alan Rayner Webinar – Natural inclusion
We will have hope of release from the iniquities, paradoxes, inconsistencies, and falsities of objective rationalisation only when we recognise the receptive influence of omnipresent space and the responsive flow of energetic information around every body. Only then will a truly compassionate, creative, and regenerative way of life become possible.
Featuring Lorna Green – #2: My Reasons for Hope
Putin is making the mistake of his life. He has absolutely nothing to gain from this invasion of the Ukraine. If he his desire is to annex Ukraine back into the Russian Empire, it hardly helps him to destroy the entire physical structure of the country with guns and bombs, and to murder the population. He needs to get beyond any desire to return the Soviet Union to what it once was, but to consider instead a new role for himself as the key player in renouncing war, to become a valuable and honored member of the modern world’s economy.

Quantum physics in neuroscience and psychology – Schwartz, Stapp, and Beauregard
Contemporary physical theory brings directly and irreducibly into the overall causal structure certain psychologically described choices made by human agents about how they will act. This key development in basic physical theory is applicable to neuroscience, and it provides neuroscientists and psychologists with an alternative conceptual framework for describing neural processes. Indeed, owing to certain structural features of ion channels critical to synaptic function, contemporary physical theory must in principle be used when analysing human brain dynamics.
Choosing Earth – Duane and Coleen Elgin
Duane Elgin’s book, Choosing Earth projects a half-century into the future to explore our world in a time of unprecedented transition. Duane offers a whole-systems view of the converging adversity trends facing humanity and three major scenarios for the future that are most likely to emerge from these powerful trends.

Simon Duan: Platonic Computer – The Universal Machine from Which Abstract Entities Are Generated
The infinite potentiality of metaconsciousness is expressed as specific actualities via Platonic computation. This means that an abstract entity is the conscious state of being a specific actuality and is the processing output of the Platonic computer. As such, the physical computer made of silicon is but a shadow or poor imitation of the Platonic computer. Nevertheless, by programing the physical computer it is possible to simulate the generation of abstract entities as the processing output of the Platonic computer.

Pari Center: Re-Visioning Consciousness, 5-12 June, 2022
When we move beyond the ‘hard problem of consciousness’ by recognizing the primacy of consciousness, a vast panorama of questions opens up. How do we understand matter, time and space, individual consciousness, birth and death, free will? Are all things alive and conscious in some sense?
Twelve Ideas that Might Expand the Scope of Science – Mukhopadhyay, AK
Science progresses slowly by Apollonian, who extends its boundary by bringing perfection on the established lines. Science often takes an intuitive leap by Dionysian, who opens an unexpected new line of research. The present paper presents twelve mixes of such ideas which together are capable of extending the scope of science. An analyst could find several ideas within one main idea; assumption, imagination, intuition or obvious reality, not one, however, on any beaten track. Each of the main idea is supported by a figure, the mind’s artwork, captioned with several new ideas. Most of the ideas have a bias towards operational consciousness. The erected framework has the potential of ushering in a new Multiversal Worldview accommodating science, humanities, and spirit together.
David Lorimer – Guest on Chasing Consciousness
In this episode we’re going to be examining the assumptions of Western Science. All science is based on assumptions. In order to isolate systems in experiments and standardise measurements of the target data, other variables need to be pinned down so scientists can form precise mathematical models, that can then be repeated accurately in the peer review process. Today we’re going to look at these assumptions, and establish if they indeed have become standard, fixed and unquestioned as some critics claim.
