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.

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.

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.

Iain McGilchrist in conversation with Charles Eisenstein

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.
