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.

What Parapsychology Reveals About the Powers of Intention – Mitch Horowitz

Can we alter reality through the power of our minds? Materialism says no, but science says yes. Mitch Horowitz, historian of alternative spirituality and a popular voice for esoteric ideas, joined us for a mind-blowing ConnectIONS Live. He shared how countless scientific studies provide strong evidence for how we can affect reality through the mind and extrasensory perception (ESP).

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.

Imaginal Inspirations with Joan Walton

David’s guest today is Dr Joan Walton, a researcher in the School of Education, Psychology and Language at York St John University, UK.

A third transition in science? – Stuard Kauffman (The Royal Society)

There can be no theory of everything that entails all that comes to exist. We face a third major transition in science beyond the Pythagorean dream that ‘all is number’ echoed by Newtonian physics. However, we begin to understand the emergent creativity of an evolving biosphere: emergence is not engineering.

Physicalist Materialism: The Dying Throes of an Inadequate Paradigm – Stephan A. Schwartz

These studies and experiments spread across many disciplines, using different protocols, are often dismissed by physicalists who find the very idea of nonlocal consciousness, to quote American psychologists and physicalists James Alcock and Arthur Reber, to be “impossible.” And yet this position, when the research is closely examined, is seen as a statement of ideology or belief, not a statement of science.

Nature: Decades-long bet on consciousness ends — and it’s philosopher 1, neuroscientist 0

A 25-year science wager has come to an end. In 1998, neuroscientist Christof Koch bet philosopher David Chalmers that the mechanism by which the brain’s neurons produce consciousness would be discovered by 2023. Both scientists agreed publicly on 23 June, at the annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) in New York City, that it is an ongoing quest — and declared Chalmers the winner.

Physics Life Psychiatry: Cellular Model and the ZPE – A.K.Mukhopadhyay

Three unsolved problems in deep physics are uncertainty, symmetry-breaking, and dark energy. This paper develops the connecting thread between three unsolved problems of physics, three signs of life at the subtle level, and etiopathogenesis of three common psychiatric disorders from the evidence available in cell biology.
