SUMMARY:The Science of Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:Perspectives from Physics\, Ecology\, Psychology\, and Philosophy \n\n\n\nwith Jonathan Allday\, John Briggs\, Chamkaur Ghag\, Tiokasin Ghosthorse\, Àlex Gómez-Marín\, Roger Nelson and Robert Toth \n\n\n\nCurated by Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nPari Center Online Series \n\n\n\nNovember 4 – 19\, 20239:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n6-two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nAcross the broad span of wisdom traditions\, one encounter is of key significance: some direct access or contact with the ground of being. \n\n\n\nEven in this secular age\, dominated as we are by the materialistic\, reductionist paradigm of western science\, these transcendent experiences still occur\, even amongst members of the scientific community. \n\n\n\nWhile this experience is always inexpressible in detail\, it commonly involves an overwhelming feeling of wholeness\, a blurring of the line between subject and object\, a melting away of divisions and an immersion in a state of participatory  consciousness. \n\n\n\nIf the underlying ground of reality is an inexpressible whole\, beyond aspects and distinctions\, we might expect some echo of this to emerge in our scientific investigations. David Bohm certainly had this intuition\, which coloured his approach to quantum theory especially and science and philosophy more generally. \n\n\n\nIn this series of workshops\, we will investigate the extent to which modern science has encountered aspects of wholeness\, non-local consciousness and the subject-object distinction. We will also consider what a post-reductionist science might look like\, drawing on the experiences of indigenous cultures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday November 4Does Quantum Theory Reveal an Underlying Wholeness to Reality?with Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nSunday November 5Global Consciousness: Manifesting Meaningful Structure in Random Datawith Roger Nelson \n\n\n\nSunday November 12Extending the Mind (and Intending Matter)with Àlex Gómez-Marin \n\n\n\nSaturday November 18Holocentric Indigenous Consciousnesswith Tiokasin Ghosthorse\, Robert Toth and John Briggs \n\n\n\nSunday November 19Universe as Processwith Chamkaur Ghag

SUMMARY:Does Quantum Theory Reveal an Underlying Wholeness to Reality?

These well-meaning books spawned something of an industry and associated quantum hype where quantum theory was portrayed as supporting\, or worse justifying\, certain worldviews. \n\n\n\nTypically\, these approaches drew on the Copenhagen interpretation\, the idea that the mind causes quantum state collapse and the physics of entanglement and related them to the experience of non-duality\, wholeness and immersion in a universal mind characteristic of spiritual insight. \n\n\n\nIt is now time to look back on these ideas in the light of 50 years further thought on quantum theory and its philosophical implications and to draw some more nuanced conclusions. In the words of Eddington[1] “I have not suggested that either religion or free-will can be deduced from modern physics; I have limited myself to showing that certain difficulties in reconciling them have been removed.” \n\n\n\n[1] Eddington “New Pathways in Science”\, 1935\, p306 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full The Science of Wholeness Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Allday was born in Liverpool in 1960. He did his first degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge in 1982 and then returned to Liverpool to complete a PhD in elementary particle physics. As part of this\, he was fortunate to spend some time working at the European particle physics centre\, CERN\, in Geneva. \n\n\n\nAlso\, during that time he was co-opted onto a working party looking at the teaching of particle physics in schools and universities. The upshot was a new syllabus in particle physics and cosmology to be added to UK A-level (16-18) physics qualifications. The first questions were set in 1992. \n\n\n\nOn the back of the work on this syllabus\, Jonathan wrote his first book Quarks\, Leptons and the Big Bang\, which was published in 1998 and is about to enter its fourth edition. Jonathan has also collaborated on a couple of textbooks and written his own books on Quantum Theory\, General Relativity and the Apollo moon missions. \n\n\n\nProfessionally\, Jonathan worked as a physics teacher for 30 years in a variety of independent day and boarding schools in the UK. He was a head of physics\, a head of science and latterly an academic deputy head. He retired in 2020 and now runs a consulting company providing training and educational advice for schools. \n\n\n\nJonathan is married to Carolyn\, and they have three sons all of whom are far better at sport than he was. Carolyn was a GB swimmer\, which explains how come the boys can do sport. Jonathan and Carolyn live in a hamlet not far from Worcester in the UK. When not writing or consulting\, Jonathan enjoys watching cricket\, James Bond movies and Formula 1 races.
