Conversations Beyond Science And Religion Philip Comella

The subject of life after death brings with it mystery, enchantment — and disbelief.  Although many of the world’s great religion speak of a life after death, another realm and dimension where the spirit passes upon bodily death, the topic has not fared well in modern scientific circles.   But standing against the doubts of […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – More Proof of the Life after Death appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

In at least one way, the path to success in science is the same as that in the corporate world.  Einstein famously said that “you cannot solve a problem with the same level of consciousness that created it.”  Corporate America, meanwhile, teaches that we must think “outside the box” to achieve superior performance.  Ironically, both […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Playing the Un-Game appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

In the governing world model, the body is a machine made up of genes.  These genes, like parts to a car, control the performance and destiny of the body.  The so-called central dogma of genetics, authored by Francis Crick, one of the discoverers of the DNA molecule, holds that genes are fixed information-generating particles that tell proteins […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Dawson Church and the Genie in Your Genes appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Behind the brain is the mind, witnessing the brain — and the rest of the world — in action.  Unfortunately, we usually let the brain take control, chasing fears, wrapping ourselves into stressful predicaments, and ruminating upon the negative. So what is the solution?  According to this week’s guest, Joseph Emet, author of Buddha’s Book […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – From Brainfulness to Mindfulness appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The ultimate dichotomy is science and religion; two ends of the spectrum; opposite ends of the playing field; two separate disciplines; two separate ways of looking at the world.  One says evidence, reasoning,  and repeatability of test results find truth; the other says revelation; personal experience; an inward connection with the divine.  Two separate ways […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Convergence of Science and Religion? appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Since the publication of his seminal book, The Self-Aware Universe in 1993, theoretical physicist and quantum activist, Amit Goswami, has been a pioneer in integrating the findings of quantum physics into our modern world.  In his latest book, Quantum Economics: Unleashing the Power of an Economics of Consciousness, Amit argues that modern economic theory must […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Amit Goswami: Quantum Economics appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Probabilities rule our lives. We choose jobs, mates, investments, college majors, driving directions, and countless other things based on probabilities. But when it comes to choosing fundamental worldviews, we throw caution to the wind, and simply go along with whatever the leading figures of science tell us to believe in. Today, that worldview is materialistic […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The More Probable Worldview appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

To the mystic, the world is an illusion, what Hinduism calls maya. A world made of nothing;a figment of the imagination. In the famous double-slit experiment, often considered the foundation of quantum theory, particles are shown to have properties of waves and waves of particles. The substance of the world, quantum theory teaches, is not […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Mental Universe appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The early scientists, represented by Issac Newton, were mesmerized by the magic of reality. They studied the heavens and discovered a clockwork universe, one operating according to the laws of mathematics.  Bedazzled by this physical world, they then formulated theory after theory describing the movement of the clockwork-like world.  But then these scientists separated the […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Magic of the Mind appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The notion that there is one mind underlying reality is as old as thought itself.  The early Upanishads, written thousands of years ago, say that “Truly the self is mind.  Truly the world is mind.  Truly Brahman is Mind.”  If we are connected to One Mind, that means our natural disposition is to be part […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Transcendent Mind appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

his show consists of a thought experiment: imagine we are not machines but spiritual creatures, beings of light and energy.  Einstein said that matter is really condensed, slowed-down energy, but imagine that the source of the energy comes from an internal wellspring, not from the forces of nature.  If this is true, then dying can […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Temple Hays: Stop Dying appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Law and science are both based upon evidence: you can only prove a case in law if you have credible and probative evidence to support your side of the story.  In the same way, a scientific theory rises or falls based upon the degree of evidence — and repeatable tests — supporting it. Interestingly, the […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Mark Anthony: Evidence of Eternity appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Few people bring the authenticity to the notion of spiritual awakening as this week’s guest, Simran, award-winning publisher of 11:11 Magazine and host of the top-rated, syndicated 11:11 Talk Radio show.  Life is  synchronistic hologram, an unfolding of the self, an outpouring of inner meaning.  It begins, as Simran writes in her new book, Journey to […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – A Conversation with Simran appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Nothing is more present than consciousness, and nothing is harder to describe.  But leaving aside the definitional problem, a further difficulty is how does one measure consciousness?  In our current scientific worldview, the inability to measure something is tantamount to declaring it does not exist.   But this cannot be true for consciousness. At the same, […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Measuring the Rise of Consciousness appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Bertrand Russell once described the world of science as espousing the position that “man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving, that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms.” In my new […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Collapse of Materialism appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

No one really knows what happens after we die, except of course those who have died and then lived to tell their stories.  This week’s guest, Dr. P.M.H. Atwater, is not only one of the world’s leading researchers of near-death experiences, she also died three times herself , all in 1977, and thus brings her […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – P.M.H. Atwater: The Life Beyond Death appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Personal transformation or world transformation?  The first one we can control; the second one remains a dream.  We know that it starts with us and the decisions we make.  What we may lack is a plan to get there.  In the revised edition of her best-selling book, Now What? – 90 Days to a New […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – 90 Days to a New Life appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Meditation is in vogue. A recent cover story of Scientific American discusses The Neuroscience of Meditation.  Noted atheist, Sam Harris, has recently written about the benefits of mediation, and meditation appears as the circle-drive to the new spirituality movement.  But what exactly is mediation and how does one perform this feat of inner knowing?  It […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – How to Meditate Naturally appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

On this special episode, Philip and Alex Tsakiris of the Skeptico podcast present a mirrored show, where each interviews the other about their own new books, Philip’s The Collapse of Materialism – Visions of Science, Dreams of God, and Alex’s Science is Wrong . .  .  About Almost Everything.   Alex believes science is almost always wrong […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Alex Tsakiris: Why Science is Wrong About Almost Everything appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Although Darwinian evolution is the leading theory for how organisms change with time, it is not without mystery.  One of these mysteries is how natural selection creates new innovations.   Natural selection is supposed to preserve survival traits, but how can this mindless process fabricate new traits that adapt to an ever-changing environment?  Unless this question […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Andreas Wagner: Arrival of the Fittest appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.
