Conversations Beyond Science And Religion Philip Comella

A worldview determines what we think, do, and say. It is the lens through which we see the world and the filter that sorts our experiences and ideas into categories. Few people think about worldviews, but everyone has one. Maybe we should take a look at what worldviews are and whether there’s a better one […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Worldview Thinking appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Viewed through the lens of modern science, the stories found in the Old Testament, such as Noah’s Ark, are commonly placed alongside those of Zeus and Mount Olympus, and other stories of ancient mythology. But history and myth admit of certain peculiar features indicating the two may not be so easily separated. Flood stories — […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Where History Meets Myth appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Science, we are told, deals with the objective world; spirituality, with the inner world. The disconnect between science and spirituality is shown by the incredible difficulty of imagining how something like spirit — this ephemeral, ghost-like substance — can arise from something as lifeless and as spiritless as matter. Philip Mereton’s guest this week, Thomas […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Science Explores the Spiritual Experience appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The most famous equation of all time is Einstein’s E=MC2: matter is energy but in a different form. If this is true, then our bodies, which seem to be made of matter, are also energy fields. Modern medicine, however, does not treat the body as anything resembling an energy field; rather, to most medical doctors […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Energy Healing in the 21st Century appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Since life began we have been trying to understand death. What happens at death? Is there a life afterwards? Is death programmed into what we are? In her upcoming book and accompanying documentary, Death Makes Life Possible, this week’s guest, Marilyn Schlitz, of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, uses her decades of research on the […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Does Death Make Life Possible? appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Socrates observed that philosophy begins in wonder. But it is not only philosophy that begins in wonder. According to this week’s guest, Timothy Freke, author of the new book, The Mystery Experience, life itself should begin in wonder, the wonder of existence itself. Modern science theorizes that the universe began with a Big Bang; Genesis […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Living in the Wonder Moment appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

We are conditioned to look at the world as if we are physical beings; spiritual experiences become outliers filled with mystery: how did life arise from the dust; consciousness from the brain; or spirit from the heavens? Are we separate creatures forever disconnected from each other? In his book, The Phenomenon of Man, French philosopher […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Spiritual Beings Having a Physical Experience appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Among Albert Einstein’s many insightful observations is that, “Science without religion is lame, but religion without science is blind.” Religion, by definition, forces believers to accept opinions without question; beliefs found in sacred scriptures, such as the virgin birth or the parting of the Red Sea, are accepted without question. Science, on the other hand, […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Religion Without Science is Blind appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Modern science, following the materialistic paradigm, looks outward for truth, far out among the galaxies or deep within the atom. But there has long been another way to the truth; this is the inward journey of the mystic; the voyage through the realm known as consciousness. The mystical vision should not seem too strange, since […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Mystical Path to Truth appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The universe began with the Big Bang, right? But how did this chaotic, random event lead to an ordered, balanced universe? Recognizing this problem, in the 1980’s, cosmologists developed a new theory called the inflationary Big Bang. This new model called for the early universe to inflate at super-warp speed in the blink of an […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – How the Universe Began(?) appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Doomsayers have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of time. Fortunately, all of them have been wrong. On December 21, 2012, the world, according to some accounts, is scheduled to end again as that day concludes the calendar for the ancient Mayan civilization. If that isn’t enough doom, millions of people […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The End of the World appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

A cult is “a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.” Members of a cult commonly do not question the cult leader, but view him as a figure of high authority. Scientisim is “excessive belief in the power of scientific knowledge and techniques.” Some observers, such as this week’s […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – The Cult of Scientism appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Modern science, and in particular, medical science, treats the body as a machine composed of parts called genes. These genes, just like any other machine-parts, are presumed to control the workings of the human body. If you’re born with “good genes” you’re lucky; if not, you always have an excuse because you can blame it […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Bruce Lipton and the Biology of Belief appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading efforts to reduce consumption of sugary drinks in New York City. Michele Obama is focused on fighting childhood obesity. But there may be more to fighting obesity than these ideas; consciousness may have a role here as well. As this week’s guest, Shannon McKeown, author of the new […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Food Consciousness appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Emotions tend to run faster than thought; we feel before we think. Mastering the emotions is the key to the HeartMath system, which focuses on putting the emotion of the heart in harmony with the physical body. With this as a starting point, the thinking is that we can improve not only our attitude but […] The post Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – From the Heart to the Global Coherence Initiative appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.
