Tony Parsons:
All there is is nothing apparently happening.
On the face of it this is a simple but paradoxical proposal. It is also radical in that it recognises that the concept of self is illusory, together with any belief in free will and choice. As there is nothing happening, there would be nothing to seek or to become.
My guest today is someone who I’ve been wanting to speak to for a very long time. Dr Bessel van der Kolk is a professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine and President of the Trauma Research Foundation in Massachusetts.
Gary Weber discusses his techniques and perspectives on meditation, presence, and allowing. He talks about his own awakening, the “default mode network”, the collection of “I’s” collapsing into the present moment, persistent Nonduality, psychedelics, the evolution of thinking, and has thinking in the modern-day human outlived its purpose?
A.H. Almaas discusses neuroscience and the self, continuity of consciousness, the construction of the self, self-identity, and the suffering that can arise. A. H. Almaas is the pen name of A. Hameed Ali, founder of the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization, a contemporary teaching that developed within the context of both ancient spiritual teachings and modern depth psychology theories. Almaas has authored eighteen books about spiritual realization, including the Diamond Heart series, The Pearl Beyond Price, The Void, and The Alchemy of Freedom. He is the founder of the Ridhwan School for Spiritual Development, an inner work school devoted to the realization of True Nature. The orientation of the school is directed toward guiding students to realize their true nature to the fullest realization and further still to endless enlightenment.
Watch Episode 13 of Quantum Minds TV with Dr. Theresa Bullard-Whyke and distinguished guest, Gregg Braden, to learn more about how being human helps us to access our divinity. Whether we look at spirituality, indigenous traditions, or ‘the simulation’, all of them invite us to discover the best version of ourselves. The best version of ourselves is the full extent of our humanness and our extraordinary potential. We must tap into our fullest human capacity to support mass awakening.
In this episode, we share about accessing optimal coherence, the quantum field, critical mass, and the future of humanity.
The Game Changers: Alchemists in the 21st Century (book):
From climate change to social change, from increasing levels of human conflict to collapsing national economies, it’s heartening to know that we already have the technological solutions to the greatest challenges of our lives today. When we realize the truth of this statement, the question we ask is universal: Where are these solutions today? The answer to this question highlights the greatest challenge we face as individuals, communities and as a society — Do we love ourselves enough to shift the thinking that makes room in our lives for what we know is possible in our heart? In this module, Gregg will explore the new world that is emerging in our lifetime, how the thinking of the past is the greatest obstacle to ending the suffering in our lives, and the hidden truths that allow you deep resilience as you navigate the fear and uncertainty of our emerging world.
The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system. A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment. This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.
