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:Recovering a Sense of the Sacred – an Evolutionary Imperative
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/hM2TknIlvNE?si=_A5jk7EnW27grTzg\n\n\n\n\n\nRecovering a Sense of the Sacred – an Evolutionary Imperative \n\n\n\nwith David Lorimer \n\n\n\nSaturday November 26\, 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\nScientific materialism and modern consumerism have led to a widespread loss of a sense of the sacred where Nature is regarded as dead and a resource to exploit for monetary gain. Correspondingly\, the human being is understood in mechanistic terms\, and the vision of transhumanism and technocracy is a future ‘upgrade of the human operating system’ where we are\, in the memorably chilling phrase of Yuval Noah Harari\, simply hackable animals. The very nature of what it means to be human is now at stake\, and a recovery of a sense of the sacred with respect to both humans and Nature is now an evolutionary imperative. This entails resisting the transhumanist agenda of universal surveillance and control\, and forging a beneficial relationship both with Nature and emerging technologies with human flourishing at the centre; also recognising the centrality of our transcendent nature that gives us access to deeper structures of reality. In the words of King Charles III\, the watchword is Harmony. \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Recovering the Sacred Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Lorimer\, MA\, PGCE\, FRSA is a writer\, lecturer\, poet\, editor and spiritual activist who is a Founder of Character Education Scotland\, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network (www.scientificandmedical.net) and former President of Wrekin Trust and the Swedenborg Society (www.swedenborgsociety.org.uk).

He was the instigator of the Beyond the Brain conference series in 1995 (www.beyondthebrain.org)  and has co-ordinated the Mystics and Scientists conferences every year since the late 1980s. \n\n\n\nOriginally a merchant banker then a teacher of philosophy and modern languages at Winchester College\, he is the author and editor of over a dozen books\, including Survival? Death as Transition (1984\, 2017) Resonant Mind (originally Whole in One) (1990/2017)\, The Spirit of Science (1998)\, Thinking Beyond the Brain (2001)\, The Protein Crunch (with Jason Drew) and A New Renaissance (edited with Oliver Robinson).
