SUMMARY:Beyond the Looking-Glass
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Looking-Glass: Wholeness in Modern Science \n\n\n\nWith Jonathan Allday\, Vasileios Basios\, John Briggs\, Jeff Dunne\, Stuart Kauffman\, Katherine Peil Kauffman\, Paavo Pylkkänen. \n\n\n\nMarch 1 – 16\, 20259am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\n6 two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn exploration of themes from the book Looking-Glass Universe by F. David Peat and John Briggs. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Universe takes a fascinating look at the wholeness revolution in physics\, mathematics\, chemistry\, biology and neurophysiology\, and the scientists whose converging theories are changing our understanding of how the universe works. The series will explore how far the themes of the book Looking-Glass Universe have developed since it was first published.  \n\n\n\nThe ‘looking-glass’ theories propose that we are at this very moment living in an Alice-in-Wonderland universe where each part is in fact the whole\, where scientists conducting an experiment are themselves the experiment\, and even inanimate objects contain consciousness. These theories give scientific meaning to the ancient mystical idea that the universe is One. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Universe by John Briggs and F. David Peat will be released in a new edition this year with physicist Jonathan Allday filling in readers on how science has evolved in the 40 years since the book first appeared. He reviews the progress towards a looking-glass view of the universe and updating aspects of the text in line with current scientific thinking. \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that two of the authors\, John Briggs and Jonathan Allday\, will be presenting during this series. \n\n\n\nSessions\n\n\n\nLooking Glass UniverseWith Jonathan Allday and John BriggsSaturday March 1 \n\n\n\nDavid BohmWith Jonathan Allday and Paavo PylkkänenSunday March 2 \n\n\n\nObjectivity: The Mythical Border Between Science and ScientistsWith Jeff DunneSaturday March 8 \n\n\n\nEppur Si Muove!

SUMMARY:Beyond the Looking-Glass - The Tao of Emotional Sentience
DESCRIPTION:The Tao of Emotional Sentience \n\n\n\nwith Katherine Peil Kauffman \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 16\, 202510am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nBeyond the Looking-Glass\, Session 6 of 6 \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding upon Bohmian (and Kauffmanian) physics\, the Eastern metaphor of The Tao is employed to introduce the new emotion science. In this context\, emotional sentience—from its simple binary evaluations to its complex informational content—is not only central to the ‘self-regulatory’ behavioral hardware and learning software of living systems but may be integral to the in-forming and trans-forming process of reality creation itself. To distinguish emotion as a separate and more ancient system than ‘cognition’ proper\, is to honor the ‘agent in the machine\,’ to discover the untold wonders embodied in the physical organism\, and to reclaim the divine attributes of human being and becoming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatherine T. Peil Kauffman is the founding Director of non-profit EFS International\, whose mission is fostering global emotional wisdom. From a background in Pantheistic spirituality and clinical and social psychology\, her lengthy interdisciplinary inquiry into the biophysical substrates of emotion led to the identification of its previously mysterious biological function: as an ancient ‘self-regulatory sense’—an evaluative perceptual mechanism through which living systems directly participate in self-organizing and evolutionary processes\, and one that invites deeper inquiries into the physics of consciousness. This new science also casts light upon innate ‘biovalues\,’ which scientific methodology has long avoided\, as well as vital processes that in-form common spiritual experiences\, and the healthy development of empathic moral conscience. It provides a biophysically informed vision of ‘naturalistic spiritualty\,’ one that echoes the common wisdom across the great religious traditions\, while challenging such time honored assumptions as ‘sin’ and the ‘good and evil’ dichotomy.A former affiliate of Northeastern University and the Harvard Divinity School\, Ms. Kauffman has spoken internationally on the function\, evolution\, physio-chemical\, and informational nature of emotion\, as well as its central role in optimal health\, human development\, moral reasoning\, universal spiritual experiences\, and its informative value toward creating nonviolence in a global village.
