Although consciousness-correlated physical phenomena are widely and credibly documented, their appearance and behavior display substantial departures from conventional scientific criteria. Under even the most rigorous protocols, they are only irregularly replicable, and they appear to be insensitive to most basic physical coordinates, including distance and time. Rather, their strongest correlations are with various subjective parameters, such as intention, emotional resonance, uncertainty, attitude, and meaning, and information processing at an unconscious level appears to be involved. If science, by its most basic definition, is to pursue understanding and utilization of these extraordinary processes, it will need to expand its current paradigm to acknowledge and codify a proactive role for the mind in the establishment of physical events, and to accommodate the spectrum of empirically indicated subjective correlates. The challenges of quantitative measurement and theoretical conceptualization within such a ‘‘Science of the Subjective’’ are formidable, but its potential intellectual and cultural benefits could be immense, not least of all in improving the reach, the utility, the attitude, and the image of science itself.

Jump To An ALTERNATE REALITY! Parallel UNIVERSES & Simultaneous Realities | Cynthia Sue Larson
If you feel weird right now, or like everything is off, then you’re not alone, it’s because we ARE living in an alternate reality.
It turns out, we are in one of an infinitude of Universes, living one of an infinity of possible, simultaneous realities.
Which means we are literally many places at once, not just in this heavy 3D reality.
And in this show, you’ll learn how to switch realities, upgrade realities, or simply jump to a higher level, beyond many of the challenges you’re facing today!

Consciousness, Split-Brain Experiments, and Combining Minds | Documentary
Can a conscious mind be divided? Beginning in the 1950s, experiments with split-brain patients revealed that consciousness could be divided between the two hemispheres of the brain. A surprising implication was that if consciousness could be divided, then it could also be combined. Evidence of this came in 2006, when conjoined twins Krista and Tatiana Hogan were born. The Hogan sisters were born with their brains connected by a thalamic bridge, which allowed a unique mental connection between them. We explore this surprising mental connection, and the possibility that we may one day connect our own minds with other conscious beings, together with what this might mean for our concept of self, identity, and the future of mind.
LIFE BEYOND: Chapter 1. Alien life, deep time, and our place in cosmic history (4K)
The biggest question of our time. Are we alone? Chapter 1 of this experience takes you to alien worlds and distant places in time and space, in search of where alien life might be hiding and what our place is within the history of life. After generations of wondering, the truth is finally within our reach. New research and technologies have brought us closer than ever to an answer – only a few decades in the eyes of some NASA scientists.
The search has led to new discoveries that will blow your mind wide open and give a profound new perspective on human life. The deeper we look, the deeper we see into nature’s imagination, and the more we learn about ourselves. I hope stewing on these thoughts tickles your brain as deeply as it does mine.
In upcoming chapters of Life Beyond we will explore making contact with intelligent life, the potential physics of alien biology, how to survive the end of the universe, and more.
The wisdom of the Universe – Interview with Nassim Haramein
Nassim Haramein has spent over 30 years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry, as well as anthropology and ancient civilizations.
He explains that matter is mostly made up of vacuum, but that this vacuum structure is actually full of energy, and connects all the particles of the universe between them. He shows how this fundamental geometry of space could allow the mastering of gravity and pave the way for an ascension, both technological and spiritual.
Does reality exist? | Anil Seth, Sabine Hossenfelder, Massimo Pigliucci & Anders Sandberg
Until recently the possibility that we are living in a computer simulation was largely limited to fans of The Matrix with an over active imagination or sci-fi fantasists. But now some are arguing that strange quirks of our universe, like the indeterminateness of quantum theory and the black hole information paradox are evidence that our reality is in actuality a created simulation. Moreover, tech guru Elon Musk has come out supporting the theory, arguing that “”we are most likely in a simulation””. Should we take the idea that we are living in a computer simulation seriously?
LIVE: Quantum Physics and the End of Reality | Sabine Hossenfelder, Carlo Rovelli, Eric Weinstein
‘We imagine physics is objective. But quantum physics found the act of human observation changes the outcome of experiment. Many scientists assume this central role of the observer is limited to just quantum physics. But is this an error? As Heisenberg puts it, “what we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning.” In all our studies of reality and nature then, the observer plays a role — not just in quantum physics. Should we recognise science can never access reality independent of the observer? Should we re-define science not as uncovering objective reality, but as uncovering the functions, limitations and structures of the mind of the observer themselves? And if we cannot remove the observer, might quantum physics help us to understand the observer – as Roger Penrose suggests consciousness “reeks of something quantum mechanical.”
The beautiful joke of non-duality (We are One but we are not the same) – Jeff Foster
Jeff Foster talks about the paradox of nonduality, of an oceanic presence appearing as seemingly ‘individual’ or ‘separate’ waves, and shares a little of his own past. Jeff’s website is http://www.lifewithoutacentre.com
“Healing, in the deepest sense, is not a destination or a future goal, but a present-moment welcoming of all the guests of Awareness. Sadness, anger, fear, joy, doubt, loneliness, heartache, these visitors do not want to be healed, they just want to be held; held in the loving arms of the present moment, held in your Heart… which IS the healing. Every thought, every sensation, every feeling, every scary thought, they all just long to be included, integrated, welcomed into the tender restful wholeness that you are…” – Jeff Foster
Video Game Developer Brilliantly Explains The Mysteries & Implications of The Simulation Hypothesis
Courtesy of Contact in the Desert Virtual Conference – MIT Computer Scientist Rizwan Virk delves into the mysteries and implications of the Simulation Hypothesis, which explores one of the most daring and important theories of our time: that our physical reality is part of an increasingly sophisticated video game-like reality. Using his experience as a video game designer, he shows why the simulation hypothesis better explains many of the mysteries from quantum physics, eastern (and western religions), and charts out the evolution of our own technology up to the point where we will be able to create simulations like the Matrix. Moreover, Virk will talk about how UFOs, synchronicity, OBEs and remote viewing fit into the simulation model of the universe.
