SUMMARY:What Is Consciousness?
DESCRIPTION:Click here to watch the recordings \n\n\n\n\n\nwith Richard Baker Roshi\, Valerie Hardcastle\, Basil Hiley\, Bernardo Kastrup\, Gary Lachman\, Iain McGilchrist\, Roderick Main\, Paavo Pylkkänen and Beverley Zabriskie \n\n\n\nChaired by Shantena Sabbadini \n\n\n\n8 two-hour online sessions\, one every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nJune 5 – 27\, 20219:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live; recordings will be available for any sessions you are unable to attend. \n\n\n\nConsciousness is the primary and most immediate experience we all have. Before knowing our name or who we are\, before being able to recognize any specific experience we are undergoing\, the immediate realization that “I am” is always there. \n\n\n\nYet this fundamental first person experience sits uneasily within the context of our scientific third person description of the world. No doubt consciousness has somehow to do with the brain\, since physical or chemical changes in the brain affect the contents of consciousness. But the contents of consciousness\, e.g. the experience of the color red\, are qualitatively different from and irreducible to patterns of excitation in the brain. This irreducible difference has been dubbed “the hard problem of consciousness.” \n\n\n\nWhat has been dubbed ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ is much deeper than mere neurophysiology. It involves the sense we have of ourselves and our destiny\, the issue of life after death and the distinction between animate and inanimate. What are the boundaries (if any) of consciousness? Is consciousness everywhere (as mystical traditions teach) or nowhere (as materialists claim)? \n\n\n\nEach session will allow time for audience participation in the form of dialogue\, discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nAnalytic Idealism with Bernardo KastrupSaturday June 5 \n\n\n\nCan Quantum Mechanics Solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness?with Basil Hiley and Paavo PylkkänenSunday June 6 \n\n\n\nMundane and Mystical: A Panentheistic Perspective on C.

SUMMARY:Emotion\, Synchronicity and Surprise
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WKbNa4nVf8\n\n\n\n\n\nEmotion\, Synchronicity and Surprise \n\n\n\nwith Beverley Zabriskie \n\n\n\nSunday June 13\, 20219:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend the live session\, the recording will be available. \n\n\n\nIn Psyche and Matter\, the Jungian analyst Marie Louise von Franz notes: \n\n\n\n\nLike Wolfgang Paul’s “statistical laws with primary probabilities\,” archetypes are also “a list of expectation values or ‘primary probability’ for certain psychological (including mental) reactions.” Referring to physicist David Bohm’s grid\, “the archetypes can be understood as dynamic\, unobservable structures\, specimens of the implicate order. If\, on the other hand\, an archetype manifests as an archetypal dream image\, it has unfolded and become more ‘explicated’.” (p. 252) \n\n\n\n\nJung spoke of synchronicity as an archetypal pattern. What allows an archetype to unfold\, and a synchronous experiences to be explicated as a synchronicity? \n\n\n\nIn the post-Cartesian era\, tough minded neuroscientists ignored the seemingly tenderminded themes of emotion and imagination. Since the  1990’s there has been  dedicated pursuit of the role of emotion in cognition and imagination\, leading to an intersection with Carl Jung’s seminal concepts of the affective basis of the psyche\, the psyche’s role in emotional equilibrium\,  the notion of emotion as fuel for imagination\, perceivable in archetypal images and narratives.. We have moved from what one researcher describes as a movement from  “I think therefore I am\,”\, to “I feel \, therefore I think\, I think.” \n\n\n\nThis discussion will engage the intrinsic role  of emotion and the agency of imagination as catalysts of unfolding\, as  intensities in the imprinting  of mind and psyche\, body and  brain. The necessity of surprise as a basic survival emotion\, and a crucial component of psychic process will be highlighted. \n\n\n\nWe will hear implicit and explicit resonances between Jung’s tenets and four contemporary theorists’ relevance to our understanding of  inter-relatedness\, on the continuum of emotion\, synchronicity and surprise.: \n\n\n\n\nJaak Panskepp’s affective neuroscience’s observation that “the evolutionary layering of the brain\, the raw affective substrates of mind have a more ancient evolutionary history than our sense of cognitive awareness (Panksepp\, 1998).\n\n\n\nJoseph Le Doux’s The Deep History of Ourselves: The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains\n\n\n\nAntonio Damasio’s model of convergence and divergence.\n\n\n\nRodolo Llinas notions of endogenous images\, and the human brain as akin to a musical instrument with sympathetic chords.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeverley Zabriskie\, LCSW\, is a Jungian analyst in New York City\, and a founding faculty member and past president of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association (JPA). Ms Zabriskie is a past vice president of the Philemon Foundation\, dedicated to publishing the unpublished works of C.G. Jung\, and a past president of the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis. She is on the Executive Committee of the Helix Center for Interdisciplinary Investigation\, and on the editorial boards of the Journal of Analytical Psychology\, London and the San Francisco Jung Journal: Psyche and Culture. She presented the 2007 Fay Lecture ‘Transformation Through Emotion: From Myth to Neuroscience.’ Her many lectures and publications include ‘A Meeting of Rare Minds\,’ the Preface to Atom and Archetype: The Pauli-Jung Correspondence (2001); ‘When Psyche Meets Soma: The Question of Incarnation’ in About a Body (2006); ‘Time and Tao in Synchronicity’ in the Jung-Pauli Conjecture and Its Impact Today (2014); ‘Energy and Emotion: C.G. Jung’s Fordham Declaration’ in Jung in the Academy and Beyond: The Fordham Lectures 100 Years Later; and ‘Psychic Energy and Synchronicity’ Journal of Analytical Psychology (2014). A recent publication is ‘Spectrums of Emotion’ in Research in Analytical Psychology\, Vol. l. \n\n\n\nTo see the full What is Consciousness Series and list of speakers click here
