SUMMARY:Recovering the Sacred
DESCRIPTION:Recovering the Sacred \n\n\n\nwith Anne Baring\, Bernard Carr\, Matthijs Cornelissen\, Alex Gomez-Marin\, Jeremy Lent\, David Lorimer\, Iain McGilchrist\, Peter Reason\, Mary-Jayne Rust \n\n\n\nCurated by John Pickering \n\n\n\nPari Center Online Series \n\n\n\nNovember 5 – 27\, 20229:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n8-two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live; recordings will be available for any sessions you are unable to attend. \n\n\n\nWe are living in a time of anxiety and uncertainty. As more environmental damage is done\, the means to repair it seems to be getting less. It is increasingly difficult to know what to trust in politics and the media. Spiritual traditions survive\, but the authority they once had has passed to science and so it might seem that the idea of ‘The Sacred’ has disappeared. \n\n\n\nBut as science reveals more and more about the place of the earth in the cosmos there is a growing awareness of how precious our living world is and of how inter-dependent we are with it. Perhaps this is not only a scientific discovery but also the re-appearance of the sacred in a form fit for our times. \n\n\n\nHow the living world came to be and how it persists is the business of the sciences.  How cultures appear and develop is the business of the humanities. Powerful though those styles of inquiry are\, they offer little comfort to those anxious about the destructive direction in which our globalised culture is going. What appears to be missing is some way of restoring our sense of spiritual interdependence with the living world. \n\n\n\nThis series of talks is an opportunity to hear from people concerned with these ideas and to participate in a dialogue on how they might help us to keep hope alive and decide what to do for the best in our challenging times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday November 5Recovering the Soulwith Iain McGilchrist \n\n\n\nSunday November 6The Sacred and the Evolution of Consciousnesswith Matthijs Cornelissen \n\n\n\nSaturday November 12Finding our Way Home to Nature as Sacredwith Mary-Jayne Rust \n\n\n\nSunday November 13The Sacred as Immanent in a Sentient Worldwith Peter Reason \n\n\n\nSaturday November 19Towards a Transmaterialist Science of the Sacredwith Bernard Carr and Alex Gomez-Marin \n\n\n\nSunday November 20The Loss and Recovery of the Sacredwith Anne Baring \n\n\n\nSaturday November 26Recovering a Sense of the Sacred – an Evolutionary Imperativewith David Lorimer \n\n\n\nSunday November 27Weaving a Web of Meaning: How Recognizing Our Deep Interrelatedness Lays a Path to Sustainable Flourishingwith Jeremy Lent

SUMMARY:The Sacred and the Evolution of Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/TklytlsHY44?si=gTv9vWN76JYmMdmA\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sacred and the Evolution of Consciousness \n\n\n\nwith Matthijs Cornelissen \n\n\n\nSunday November 6\, 20229:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nWe tend to think of the Sacred as something unchanging. There is some point to this: the Sacred is\, after all\, what connects us to eternity or even to something beyond space and time.  But could it be changing? To address this question\, since the modern West pays so little attention to the Sacred\, it makes sense to go back to other cultures who have developed deeper knowledge about it. \n\n\n\nMost major spiritual traditions\, in the West as well as in India\, make some kind of distinction between the Divine who is eternal and perfect\, and the world which is constrained by time and imperfect\, but what if our conception of this split is due to the limited nature of our human consciousness and our too limited mental understanding of reality? \n\n\n\nIn the first half of last century Sri Aurobindo developed the idea that evolution is the progressive embodiment of ever higher types of consciousness. He argued that we are on the brink of the next stage in evolution which will see the embodiment of a radically different type of consciousness. \n\n\n\nIn this talk Matthijs will indicate the direction in which Sri Aurobindo saw the world evolving\, and\, perhaps\, more relevant for us today\, what we can do during the transitional period. \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Recovering the Sacred Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthijs Cornelissen MD\, was born in the Netherlands and studied Medicine and Psychology in Amsterdam. He is deeply interested in the work of Sri Aurobindo\, and at 27\, he moved to India where he has lived ever since. In the Delhi Branch of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram he helped to set up the Institute for Integral Education\, Mirambika\, and at present he teaches the psychological aspects of Sri Aurobindo’s work at SAICE in Pondicherry. He assisted with the publication of Sri Aurobindo’s Complete Works\, and has written articles and book chapters on Sri Aurobindo’s contributions to Consciousness Studies and Psychology. He has also organised conferences\, given workshops and lectures\, and edited books on the same subject. He founded and maintains the websites of the Sri Aurobindo Centre for Consciousness Studies\, the Indian Psychology Institute and Infinity in a Drop.
