With Joe Cambray, session 5 of 6.
In this lecture Joe Cambray will detail a series of events, personal and professional, spanning his career that have led him to critically explore Jung’s synchronicity hypothesis on an on-going basis. Consequently, he has found it useful to reformulate the concept in terms of complexity theory with a focus on complex adaptive systems, which can spontaneously reorganize, exhibiting emergent properties.
With Richard Berengarten, session 6 of 6.
As a working poet, Richard Berengarten is interested, both theoretically and practically, in how Jung’s theory of synchronicity—with all its connections of specificity in time and place—is entangled in our ideas and experiences of inspiration, imagination, discovery and creativity. This means that he’s interested in how Jung’s theory is intervolved in both the sciences and the arts, and as much in our day-to-day experiences and dream-life as in, say, religious and visionary experience. To explore his themes and ideas, and to broach some questions arising from them, he’ll read a small selection of his own poems connected with synchronicity, which he’ll open for discussion.

Robert Traer’s newly released book, Verifying Spiritual Reality, brings together a wealth of information that disproves that hypothesis of materialism, painting a much older, enduring perspective on the nature of humanity: that we are spiritual beings within a much deeper reality, one grounded in love and interconnectedness. There are, of course, numerous books that relate experiences supporting that conclusion, but if one seeks a single, comparatively short overview, Traer’s book, which provides an overview/survey of the evidence, provides enough specific information to convince any reader that our spiritual nature is undeniable.

A two-part series on that Nature of Space, Higher Dimensions and the Multiverse.
Rupert Sheldrake recently made a series of criticisms of Bernardo Kastrup’s Analytic Idealism on Curt Jaimungal’s Theories of Everything channel. Kastrup soon responded to Rupert’s points and subsequently Rupert sent Kastrup a rejoinder. Here, in a spirit of true collegiality and intellectual pursuit, we will turn this clash into an opportunity to better understand each other’s position and inquire further into the nature of reality itself. The trialogue between Kastrup, Sheldrake, and Gomez-Marin will be followed by Q&A from the audience.

The scientific study of psychic (or PSI) phenomena –which includes extrasensory perception, precognition, synchronicity, direct mind-to-mind communication, or mind-matter interactions– has been going on for more than a century now. Its results are fascinating, puzzling, and often controversial. In this event some of the greatest active researchers in the field will present their own work while reflecting on where PSI has been, where we think it is now, and where we wish it to go. We hope to create an unprecedented audiovisual gathering for current and future generations to get perspective, clarity, and inspiration.
