The illusion of East and West – Athena Potari

Athena Potari shares her insights on Hellenism, the ancient civilization of the Mediterranean, the cultural cradle of Western civilization, and the birthplace of Western science, politics, democracy, and philosophy. Her insights reveal that the Hellenistic tradition is also a spiritual tradition of awakening, divine devotion, purification, virtue, non-duality, and self-realization that are usually associated with the spiritual traditions of the East. She shows us that the East-West divide is our illusion.

Methodological Exclusion of the Transcendent? – Alexander Moreira-Almeida & Ralph Hood

This paper discusses (a) what is MET as proposed by Flournoy and the reasons he provided to adopt it, (b) problems with MET, implications for research and theory in religion/spirituality and health, and why the transcendent should be included in psychological, medical and other academic research and theory on spiritual experiences (SE), and (c) some methodological guidelines perform it fruitfully.

Do Academic Professionals Believe in Survival and the Paranormal?- IONS Science Team

But, do academic professionals personally believe in the continuation of human consciousness? We tend to think that people who work in academic environments lean more toward skepticism, but is that actually true? If so, what kind of experiment could convince them that human consciousness can survive death? Non-believers would probably require substantial empirical evidence to flip their skepticism. That’s what we set out to explore in our newly published paper.

Mitch Horowitz, historian of alternative spirituality and a popular voice for esoteric ideas, joined us for a mind-blowing ConnectIONS Live.

Why Common-Sense Reality Is a Trap – Deepak Chopra

The worldview that can reshape everyone’s life can be summarized as “consciousness is all.” Many ramifications stem from “consciousness is all.” It is premature to explore them, however, until the mystique of materialism is shattered. Until “matter first” and “mind first” are both abandoned, the battle for reality remains as futile as ever, and the hard problem presents itself as insoluble.

Brain experiment suggests that consciousness relies on quantum entanglement

Most neuroscientists believe that the brain operates in a classical manner. However, if brain processes rely on quantum mechanics, it could explain why our brains are so powerful. A team of researchers possibly witnessed entanglement in the brain, perhaps indicating that some of our brain activity, and maybe even consciousness, operates on a quantum level.

Why Does Consciousness Leave So Many False Clues? – Deepak Chopra

There is only one way to get past every false clue in the hunt for consciousness. You must make it the “stuff” of creation, a non-physical state from which matter, energy, time, and space are created. Every phenomenon we can experience doesn’t have consciousness or exhibit mind.
