Max Velmans on “Only Connect. A Personal Journey into Consciousness”
This talk, given at Totnes Consciousness Cafe on 1st July, 2022, describes some of the major transitions in Max Velmans' own journey into a deeper understanding of consciousness. This included potent extraordinary experiences as well as ordinary experiences along with an in-depth scientific and philosophical study of consciousness for over 50 years. From this he developed Reflexive Monism, an integrative Western understanding of human consciousness as being one manifestation of a conscious, self-observing universe -- an understanding that converges closely with the non-dual Integral Vedanta of Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, and Aurobindo. In this talk he describes one early formative mystical experience along with some of the major intellectual steps that guided his way.
SXSW Panel Discussion: Is There Life After Death? Featuring Jim Tucker, MD and Kim Penberthy, PhD
Our relationship with death and dying is evolving and along with it, our ever expanding exploration into the nature of human consciousness. The research being conducted at UVA DOPS addresses the question of whether or not some form of human consciousness can survive bodily death.
Scientism and the Integrity of the Humanities – Austin L. Hughes
More to the point, the erroneous claim of scientism is not that science is useful in the humanities, but that science can replace the humanities. It is the latter claim that needs to be resisted if we are to maintain the integrity both of the humanistic and the scientific elements of our Western intellectual heritage.
