Sarah Knox – Biomedical Bias in the Conceptualization of Consciousness
The topic stems from the fact that neuroscience is currently the accepted scientific authority on the nature of consciousness, even though some of its major underlying assumptions are verifiably inaccurate. The purpose of this talk is to begin a dialogue about unintended bias in experimental design.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
