The Emergence of Conscious Evolution: Jude Currivan

Cosmologist Jude Currivan is an enthusiastic and inspirational advocate of the positive view of the transformations we are witnessing on planet Earth. As a scientist she can report with confidence that science can at last conclusively prove and reconcile scientific evidence with ancient wisdom and universal spiritual experience – resolving SAND’s ongoing quest by revealing the unified nature of reality. “Consciousness is not what we have it is what we are” – and this understanding has the power to heal our fragmented perspectives and radically change our collective behaviors, transforming the challenges of our global emergency into the emergence of our conscious evolution.

Lawrence Krauss & Frank Wilczek – Materiality of a Vacuum PHYSICS – Part 1

The Origins Project invites you to a fascinating and intriguing Lecture by Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek discussing the Materiality of a Vacuum: Late Night Thoughts of a Physicist, followed by a conversation with Lawrence Krauss.

In modern physics we’ve discovered that it is very fruitful to regard empty space, or vacuum, as a sort of material, which can have exotic properties, like superconductivity. Conversely, materials can be viewed “from the inside” as the vacua of alternative worlds, which often have exotic, mind-expanding properties. These ideas suggest new possibilities for cosmology, and bring to life a profound question: What is a Universe?

The Remarkable Results of Microdosing: James Fadiman

In this entertaining talk from SAND18, James Fadiman, “America’s wisest and most respected authority on psychedelics and their use,” describes the citizen science of his recent investigations into the effects of microdosing, and shares some fascinating stories from the hundreds he has gathered in his ongoing research.

Unlock Creativity, Increase Intuition & Learn Faster Using The Silva Ultramind Technique | Vishen

In this powerful talk, Vishen Lakhiani shares the transformative power of the Silva Method, a technique that first impacted his life and led to incredible success stories.

The Silva Method, created by Jose Silva, has its roots in hypnotherapy, brain wave experiments, and biofeedback. Vishen shows how this method can help develop intuition, enhance learning, and even heal.

He shares stories of Richard Bach, Bert Goldman, Helen Hadzel, and Bianca Andreescu, who achieved extraordinary results in different fields by using the Silva Method

By publishing The Silva Ultramind System through Mindvalley, Vishen aims to re-introduce The Silva Method to a whole new generation of personal growth students, so more people can harness this remarkable framework to awaken their mind’s fullest abilities.

Vishen also holds a Bsc in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and has been invited to speak at companies like Google, Facebook, and even the United Nations.

Experimental metaphysics with first-person perspectives, by Dr. Eric Cavalcanti

The Nobel Prize in physics in 2022 went to scientists who, for over 40 years, have carried out a series of experiments indicating that, contrary to materialist expectations, physical entities do not have standalone existence but are, in fact, products of observation. This result is extraordinarily relevant to our understanding of the nature of reality, and so Essentia Foundation, in collaboration with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna, of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (home to Prof. Anton Zeilinger, one of this year’s Nobel Laureates in physics), organized a conference discussing the implications of this result. The conference was hosted by IQOQI-Vienna’s Dr. Markus Müller and featured seven other speakers. In this presentation, Dr. Eric Cavalcanti, from Griffith University Center for Quantum Dynamics, discusses experimental metaphysics with first-person perspectives.

Cosmic creativity — how art evolves consciousness: Alex Grey at TEDxMaui 2013

Visionary artist Alex Grey began his career as a medical illustrator at Harvard Medical School, but is best known for paintings that present the physical and subtle anatomy of an individual in the context of cosmic, biological and technological evolution. His work has been featured in Time and Newsweek, on the Discovery Channel, and as album art for TOOL, the Beastie Boys and Nirvana.
