Day 10: Technocracy And Education – Pattrick Wood
In sum, Akin’s observation of Technocracy’s “Continental system of human conditioning” has proven correct: “It would essentially replace the humanities with the machine shop.”
NDEs: The Early Years – A Personal History – Kenneth Ring
I figure that before I kick the bucket, I should take the time to set down something of my personal story of how I became one of the early pioneers to study NDEs and, not long after, to co-found IANDS, the International Association for Near-Death Studies. After all, I am one of the few who was there at the beginning and would like to take you back to those exciting days of high adventure at the outset of my life in NDEland. So, gather round, friends, sit a spell and I will tell you the tale of how it came to pass that I got involved with NDEs and how IANDS was born.
Imaginal Inspirations with Jeffrey Mishlove
David Lorimer's guest today is Dr Jeffrey Mishlove, who is host and producer of the New Thinking Allowed channel on YouTube. He is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series that was shown throughout North America. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "Parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited, American university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the 1st Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
WHAT IS LIFE? #35 Tim Freke and George Ellis
Professor George Ellis and Tim Freke discuss whether some things are ‘evil as a matter of fact, the reality of ’downward causation’ and why determinism is wrong, whether numbers exist in an eternal Platonic realm, and what gives meaning to life...
The Full Extent – An Inquiry into Reality and Destiny – Richard Botelho
"The Full Extent by Richard Botelho is academically impeccable in its presentation, organization, summarization, and attributions to historical predecessors….a groundbreaking and profoundly intelligent work."
‘Zombie genes’ increase expression after death – Anna Wernick
A set of immune cell genes ramp up their expression in brain cells after death, a new study has revealed. While the onset of death is often defined as the time the heart stops beating, the body's cells do not all die immediately. Now, research from the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC) suggests that important biological processes persist in the human brain for hours longer than previously thought.
Imaginal Inspirations with Natalie Dyer
David Lorimer's guest today is Dr Natalie Dyer, PhD who spoke at the 2021 Beyond the Brain conference on universal love and who is a research scientist studying the therapeutic effects of integrative medicine and spiritual practices, including yoga, meditation, Reiki, psychedelics, and universal love.
David Lorimer on Chasing Consciousness: Are our Scientific Assumptions Justified?
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.
After Death Communications: Who have them and what impact do they have? – Jennifer Kim Penberthy
This excerpt from the IANDS 2021 Virtual Conference shows Dr. Jennifer Kim Pemberthy's presentation on an international survey on who is most likely to experience ADCs and what impact they have on their lives.
The Metaverse is a Scam: We’re Being Herded into the Matrix – Mark Jeftovic
Belief that mind emerges from matter is this era’s geocentrism. As was the case with the now antiquated idea that the Earth was the center of the universe. The heliocentric cosmos was probably understood by certain civilizations thousands of years before Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for saying as much in the 17th century. So too, did the ancients understand that “All is mental”. The universe is vibration, probability, information, energy and conciousness first.
Imaginal Inspirations with Satish Kumar
David Lorimer's guest today is his dear friend Satish Kumar, who was the Editor-in-Chief of Resurgence (now with the Ecologist) Magazine for 43 years and was the Founder of Schumacher College in Dartington.
Life-Form A Matters-Syncytium: DeepScience for Matter Correlates of Conscious States – Mukho, A.K.
The perspective developed in this paper calls for a DeepScience to show how the essence of the material science is interconnected with the essence of the Multiversity along the sub-quantum and sub-subquantum recess of nature involving presently non-observable several exotic states of matter, dark matter, neutrinos, operations of informationstates, operations of cognitive faculty such as mind, self, life-principle and consciousness. Investigation of this interdisciplinary terrain has translational value for next three century’s science.
Consciousness – Janik Pilet
Consciousness is often considered as the prerogative of human beings, and as more or less synonymous with reflective and emotional intelligence, associated with a perception of oneself and the reality of the external world. But given the emergence of consciousness from life, is it not more reasonable to admit that it can take on a more nuanced meaning than a simple "all or nothing" alternative: conscious or non-conscious. It is therefore important to define very precisely the meaning in which this word will be used here to differentiate it from the notions of intelligence, thought, perception, morality, or feeling.

Emergence of Homo spiritualis: Of Essential Requirements – Faith, Devotion and Love – Mukho, A.K.
On the landscape of human possibilities, consciousness-rooted futurologists predicts emergence of Homo spiritualis from the present Homo sapiens. On this passage, to tide over different grades of uncertainties cultivation of Faith, Devotion and Love is felt essential. The deep science in psychology, biology and neurology has been discussed while cultivating such qualities in life. The beneficial spin offs from such perspective are new ideas and several research questions addressing of which might help to extend the vertical depth and horizon of science.
Efimov K-theory of Diamonds – Shanna Dobson
Motivated by Scholze and Fargues' geometrization of the local Langlands correspondence using perfectoid diamonds and Clausen and Scholze's work on the K-theory of adic spaces using condensed mathematics, we introduce the Efimov K-theory of diamonds. We propose a pro-diamond, a large stable (infinity,1)-category of diamonds D^{diamond}, diamond spectra and chromatic tower, and a localization sequence for diamond spectra.
The Hard Science of Reincarnation – Article in VICE
All over the world, scholars studying reincarnation are making findings even skeptics have difficulty explaining.
Visualizing Information as a Dynamic Entity Roadmap of Deep Science, AI and Humanity – Mukho, A.K.
Visualization of information as an autonomous intentional potent causal entity, which has a dynamically changing geometry across the depth of nature remains a valuable leading guide for extending the vertical depth of science. Following this thread of information in its various forms, it is possible to travel imaginatively across the ladder of cognition from physical signal to the world of sublime wisdom and back from the wisdom to signal world.

Spontaneous Spiritual Awakenings: Phenomenology, Altered States, Individual Differences, and Well-Being – Jessica Corneille
Spontaneous Spiritual Awakenings (SSAs) are subjective experiences characterised by a sudden sense of direct contact, union, or complete nondual merging (experience of oneness) with a perceived ultimate reality, the universe, “God,” or the divine. These profound transformative experiences have scarcely been researched, despite extensive anecdotal evidence suggesting their potential to catalyse drastic, long-term, and often positive shifts in perception, world-view, and well-being. The aims of this study were to investigate the phenomenological variances of these experiences, including the potential differences between SSAs and Spontaneous Kundalini Awakenings (SKAs), a subset of awakening experiences that the authors postulate may produce a higher likelihood of both physical and negative effects; to explore how these experiences compare to other altered states of consciousness (ASCs), including those mediated by certain psychedelic substances; and understand their impact on well-being.
