Conversations Beyond Science And Religion Philip Comella

The great 19th century German philosopher, Georg Hegel, wrote that nothing great in life can be accomplished without passion. Passion implies a deep, emotional — and honest — buy-in.  But a passion is not just something to pursue, it is also a theme for how to live. In his new book, Vital Signs: The Nature […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Gregg Levoy: Vital Signs of Passion appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

World peace remains an elusive — and faraway — goal.  A goal for dreamers.  But unless at least some people hold the vision of world peace firmly in their sights, it can never become a reality.  The World Peace Caravan is a real caravan set to embark on December 15, 2015 from Petra, Jordan. Inspired […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – World Peace Caravan appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Some scientists believe the seeds of life were delivered to Earth by meteors.  Some UFO experts believe the seeds of spirituality were delivered to Earth by extraterrestrials.   Mediums speak to Ascended Masters, Oneness, and the Source.  Other mediums speak to beings from other planets existing in other planes of existence.  Compared to many of today’s […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Messages from Outer (?) Space appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Modern spirituality is drawing closer to modern science.  Quantum theorists, from Max Planck to Amit Goswami, discuss how consciousness is the matrix of all matter.  The spiritual truth that brings religions together is, in the words of this week’s guest, Dr. Roger Teel, “this world is consciousness.” The world we see, as he writes in […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – This Life is Real appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

By all indications, there is a “great awakening” underway in the world. This is not a mystical flight of the chosen few, but instead encompasses a broad range of experiences — some sudden and others slowly-evolving — that in the words of this week’s guest, Miriam Knight, “call into question the very fundamentals of their […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Tales of Conscious Awakening appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

According this week’s guest, Art Markman, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas, the brain is a “habit creation machine.”  The problem is that oftentimes these habits are not good ones.  But how do we truly change behavior and point ourselves to a place where we realize our potential? Whether it’s […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Science of Changing Behavior appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Arthur C. Clarke once wrote that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”  Tomorrow, science will definitely look different than it does today.  In multiple fields, we are seeing a growing number of technological and human breakthroughs that give us a glimpse of the future science world.  In this new book, Brave New Mind: […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Future-Science World appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

This 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.

Worrying about the future seems to be part of human nature.  We want certainty about what is going to happen — to our investments, our children’s education, careers, the human race — but get only doubts.  And then doubts become fears, as we prepare for the worst, and hold out a little hope for something […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Philosophy of Maybe appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

All too often we act with an air of certainty over topics that demand humility.  Examples are the theory of evolution, the emergence of consciousness from the gray matter of the brain, and the interpretation of the Bible.  We are taught that confidence is good, conviction better, and being right is all that matters.  But […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Is Certainty a Good Thing? appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Oddly, when we take an expanded view of the findings of modern science we  arrive at the conclusion that consciousness is fundamental; matter, secondary.  If consciousness is fundamental, then that means bodily death is only that: bodily death; consciousness lives on.  Perhaps that is why so many people have reported near-death experiences that speak of […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Science and the Afterlife 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 own personal experiences to […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – P.M.H. Atwater: Beyond Death appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Among the leaders in probing the leading-edges of science and spirituality over the last 30 years is this week’s guest, Zohara Hieronimus, the author of the new book, The Future of Human Experience and co-host of of the long-running, 21st Century Radio.  On this show, Philip and Zohara discuss the obstacles we must overcome to realize our inner […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion- The Future of Human Experience appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Without vision the people perish, and without goals there is nowhere to go.  But to reach any goal — whether getting a better job or  reaching enlightenment — it helps to have a plan: a way to get from here to there.  In his new book, My Life Contract, this week’s guest, Joel Fotinos, distills bookshelves […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – A Contract with Life 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.

One mantra of our new era is Einstein’s statement that you cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it.  The big problem we have in today’s world is the belief that the outside world controls us; but to move beyond this thought we need to reach a different level of […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Dianne Collins: QuantumThink® Essentials appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Thomas Kuhn, in his highly influential book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, introduced the world to the concept of paradigms and how they change. A paradigm is a framework for understanding and cataloging worldly events, the ground rules for explaining things; at some point, however, the existing paradigm no longer accounts for worldly events and […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Shape of Paradigms To Come appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The idea of oneness is integral to the spiritual tradition.  As Aldous Huxley wrote in his classic book, The Perennial Philosophy, the “perennial philosophy is primarily concerned with the one divine reality substantial to the manifold world of things and lives and minds.” One mind behind the world of many things. In her books, Oneness and A Journey […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – A Journey to Oneness appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Description: Particles do not make plans, but minds do. In the worldview of materialism, ultimate reality consists of things, and hence there is no purpose in evolution, and the universe is heading nowhere except toward a “heat death” where the stars, including the sun, run out of fuel.  On the other hand, if a mind […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – A Plan of Creation? appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Quantum theory states that the physical world is not made of fixed, independent particles, but rather is a field of probability waves; energy packets.  Consciousness — our consciousness — ultimately collapses probability waves into real events.  In different words, the outer world cannot control us unless we let it, for we ultimately create the world.   […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Amit Goswami: Unleashing the Power of Creativity appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.
