The Next Scientific Revolution Intensive by Ervin Laszlo

In this first module, Dr. Laszlo joins with two of the most fascinating pioneers in the fields of medicine and psychiatry. Dr. Larry Dossey has done some of the best research on distant intercessory prayer, showing that when people are prayed for at a distance, even without their knowledge, their health outcomes improve. Dr. Grof was one of the earliest pioneers of psychedelic research and developed an expanded map of the psyche to account for extraordinary experiences that patients had, some of which required “non-local” consciousness to account for. Together they’ll paint the broad outlines of how research in psychiatry and medicine is forcing a major evolution of the scientific model of reality. This module will give you a whole new understanding of your body and consciousness.

Science often evolves when current theories are no longer able to account for the data. At places like the Institute of Noetic Sciences, founded by astronaut Edgar Mitchell, decades of research have been amassed that pose an irrefutable challenge to the materialistic paradigm especially research on psychic abilities, distant intention, consciousness and more. Edgar Mitchell has been at the forefront of this work and David Loye will add his perspective as an evolutionary systems scientists who is an expert on Darwinian evolution. Taken together with Dr. Laszlo, these pioneers will help you understand the fundamental challenges to the materialist paradigm that are forcing its evolution, as well as introduce you to fascinating frontier research on things like quantum healing.

If science is the arbiter of truth, then physicists are its high priests – the final deciders. That’s why it’s so exciting when an astrophysicist like Dr. Haisch shows that not only is the science of consciousness compatible with emerging physics but offers a potent reinterpretation of fundamental fields and the implications of them for our life. Anthony Peake has assembled fascinating work on the survival of consciousness after bodily death that imply something like a field of consciousness. Their work serves as an important building block for the new science that includes consciousness.

Field effects from consciousness are beginning to be demonstrated beyond individuals to include larger social and cultural phenomena. We are beginning to see their effects in biology, as biologist Elisabet Sahtouris demonstrates, and we can also observe fascinating impacts in the larger culture, as computer scientist-turned-author Peter Russell has shown with his work on accelerated learning as we move towards a “singularity” of consciousness and creativity. Sparks will be flying between these pioneering minds.

What are the implications of the next scientific revolution for our understanding of the cosmos? Professor Amit Goswami is one of the foremost theoretical physicists to envision consciousness as a fundamental aspect of the universe, woven into the nature of reality itself. In this fascinating class, he’ll dive into the deepest questions of life and its evolution.

A new understanding of the universe requires revisiting our own freedom and behavior. If we are literally affecting larger fields of consciousness at all times, what is our responsibility to that larger whole? How do we view morality and ethics through a different lens? Former Stanford Research Institute author Duane Elgin has long been one of our deepest thinking futurists, exploring the interface of evolutionary cycles and the requirements for sustainable living. Together with Professor Oliver Markley, an expert on sustainable well-being, they will show how the new scientific paradigm will require a more ethical and evolutionary approach to life.

At the root of the Akashic Paradigm that Dr. Laszlo has begun to articulate is Akashic Consciousness itself, which we can think of as an ability to record all the impressions of life in the deeper field of consciousness. How does this notion of consciousness inform fields like social healing and transformative practice? James O’Dea, the former director of Amnesty International DC has long worked on healing the fields of consciousness that inform and perpetuate current conflict, and he also headed the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which explores. Dr. Marilyn Schlitz also served as the President of the Insitute of Noetic Sciences and authored the book Consciousness and Healing, which brought together the leading thinkers in integral medicine to explore the nature of consciousness in the healing process. Dr. Nitamo Montecucco, one of the pioneers of psychosomatic medicine. Dr. Monetcucco is also a consciousness and brain researcher, as well as an expert on remote interaction among people in meditative states and the effect of meditation on health and wellbeing. Collectively they will help illuminate the real truth of this deep aspect of our nature. Find out with 4 of the brightest pioneers of today.
