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.
Galileo Commission Call for a Renaissance of the Spirit in the Humanities
In this Call, we argue that there is good scientific evidence to refute the claim that we are merely ‘hackable animals’ (in Yuval Noah Harari’s words) or complex biological machines, as proposed by the recent movement of Transhumanism.
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.
Iain McGilchrist – Interview for Pari Center
Our partners have published a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation between Galileo Commission adviser Iain McGilchrist and Alex Gomez-Marin of The Future Scientist.
Avigail Aberbanel – To Broaden the Scope of Science we must Address Fear
This talk is about fear, what it is and what we can do about it. It is based on my clinical work as a psychotherapist working from the perspective of Interpersonal Neurobiology.
Featuring Lorna Green – #1: Introduction
...and so, I would like to enter into a discussion with everyone about where we are in our history in terms of the ideas of the past, and new emerging first principles...
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

On Thursday, April 7th at 5pm PST, two visionary leaders in the field of end of life will sit down for the ‘Awaken to the Transformational Power of the Shared Death Experience’ free webinar.
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.
Interviews with Innocence – Marjorie Woollacott
In this episode Marjorie Woollacott helps us understand how we can nourish the seed of consciousness that lives within each of us.
Science of Divinity: Part IV – Mudhopadhyay, AK
Divinity is the objective reality of the Divine. It could be observed in nature, in deep ecology, in cosmology beyond ZPE, and in depth psychology. The Divine could be personified in human behavior when the organ brain achieves the desired level of perfection. A science of divinity and the Divine is possible to develop taking science (world), humanity (you, me, and they), and the spirit (consciousness) together. One beneficial spin off of this approach in worldly science is the development of an algorithm starting in consciousness and ending in space, time, and energy, describing how “will” is translated into an event.
Imaginal Inspirations with Diane Hennacy Powell
David Lorimer's Guest today is Dr Diane Hennacy Powell, who is a Johns Hopkins-trained neuropsychiatrist and neuroscientist, former Harvard faculty member, and an award-winning author and clinician. She began studying autism in 1987, when she spent six months with Sir Michael Rutter at the Institute for Psychiatry in London. She has served as a member of a think tank on the evolution of human consciousness at the Salk Institute, and as the Director of Research for the John E. Mack Institute. Her experimental research focuses on investigating reports of telepathy in autistic children and has been presented at international science conferences in the US and abroad. She is a polymath whose theoretical work bridges multiple scientific disciplines in its analysis of case studies in neuropsychiatry that challenge materialism’s neuro-centric model. Her 2008 book, The ESP Enigma: A Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena, presents a rational argument for a new paradigm, which is elaborated upon further in her chapter entitled Beyond Materialism and Madness in the first volume published by the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences: Is Consciousness Primary?

Britain’s unethical Covid messaging must never be repeated – Dr Gary Sidley
Denying individuals rational choices, and an over-reliance upon subliminal influence, is both unethical and undemocratic. Transparency regarding how government departments use ‘nudge’ techniques is now long overdue.
Bernard Carr and Doug Matzke – Post-Materialist Physics and the Search for a Deeper Reality
Postmaterialist science assumes that science can be extended to accommodate consciousness and associated mental and spiritual experiences. This should entail some form of postmaterialist physics, going beyond classical and quantum physics, and indeed this is already a feature of some grand unified theories. This dialogue brings together two researchers who are developing different but complementary approaches along these lines.
The Case Against Vaccine Passports and Mandates – Oliver Robinson
In summary, arguments at all four levels analysed here point in the same direction: vaccine passports and mandates must be dropped immediately by any country or state that has adopted them. Vaccines have protected the elderly and vulnerable from COVID-19 since being rolled out, but that does not by any means equate to becoming a requirement for participation in society and the economy. Liberal democracies must trust the foundational principles of informed consent, bodily autonomy and equality of opportunity. We must respect those who draw different conclusions from what remains an inconclusive situation in relation to vaccine side-effects and benefits. The story is still unfolding.
