Sunday August 2nd – Live-streamed on Zoom – Diana Clift “Mind beyond brain.”
We all have an underlying world view which we seldom question. The prevailing assumption of science is that matter/energy is the fundamental ‘stuff’ of the universe and consciousness is an emergent property of brain. This view is incompatible with most religions as it precludes any sort of transcendent reality, paranormal phenomena or afterlife. Given the damage done to the world by unquestioning belief, be it in religion, conspiracy theories or alternative facts, scientists tend to view any challenge to their reductionist assumptions with alarm. But those assumptions are being challenged from within science and a paradigm shift is brewing which could result in a greatly expanded world view. This in no way challenges the scientific approach, but does suggest that reality is much greater than the human mind can measure or comprehend.
