“Collective human consciousness and life on our planet are intrinsically connected. ” Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose “From your thought springs your reality. From your ideas your future emerges.” Neale Donald Walsch, Tomorrow’s God: Our Greatest Spiritual Challenge Thoughts become things. Radiate positive vibrations and watch the universe reverberate in kind; we create our own reality; think high thoughts and your world grows brighter; focus on the negative, and your fears materialize. Thoughts inside attract things out there. Tomorrow’s God will come down to earth and be part of us, as humankind awakens to find that its concept of a supreme being does not reflect the real God. Life is God acting out its purpose, becoming real in physical form. A universal mind underlies the world; speak to it and it will supply an answer. Make up your mind; think positive thoughts; enrich yourself; leave...

Webster’s Third New International Dictionary defines the term “radical” as “marked by a considerable departure from the usual or traditional.” In our modern world, the “usual or traditional” takes many forms, including “what most people think,” “what you grew up believing,” “what your religious teachers say,” or, on a grander scale, the governing scientific worldview. It is my premise that the governing scientific worldview underlies and propells all other beliefs. It is the foundation from which the other fields flow, from politics and economics to medicine and cosmology. So if we want to truly change the world, we must change it at the root, we must shake the foundation, and then see how the other fields change to align with this new way of thinking. So what is the “governing scientific worldview?” It is simply the belief that a massive world of matter, composed of tiny little particles, exists independently of human consciousness. This...

Modern science describes the workings of the physical world, and religion tries to do the same for the spiritual world. But science has reached its limits in seeking to define the universe as simply a mindless machine governed by impersonal and random forces. Religion forgets that God — and our conception of this Being — must itself evolve with time. Thus, we must go beyond science and religion, and break free from these old ways of thinking, to find a new and brighter perspective on viewing the world we live in. These podcasts feature interviews with a wide range of leading thinkers from the fields of science, spirituality, new age, and parapsychology who are offering original and creative ideas that expand our understanding of who we are and the place we find ourselves in....
Materialism, the doctrine that the entire cosmos and all living things can ultimately be reduced to mindless stuff, has many fundamental flaws. Here is one of them: Even in the mindless, God-less, designer-less worldview of materialism, a mind is still present. Where is this mind? In the head of a scientific theorist who imagines that the intelligence and organizational ability of matter is much more creative than it could ever be on its own. Let me provide a bit more detail. At bottom, material scientists believe they can explain the entire universe using only matter and the laws of nature. The laws of nature are necessary to give order and regularity to the dust that would otherwise scatter in the wind. For example, the laws of gravity, chemistry, quantum theory, and nuclear fission are considered among those responsible for sculpting the large-scale structure of the cosmos, such...

Science deals with the real world; mysticism, with the spiritual world. Science is based upon testable facts and logical deductions; mysticism, upon wispy thoughts, dreams, and hopes. But is there a deeper connection that we are missing? Notably, science too is filled with mysteries – the origin of matter, the laws of nature, the fine-tuning of the fundamental constants, the origin of life, to name a few. Is mysticism an integral part of the world? This week’s guest, Jude Currivan, of the UK, is a cosmologist, author (HOPE: Healing our People and Earth), and mystic. She joins host Philip Mereton in a wide-open conversation about reconciling the worlds of science and mysticism. Listen to this episode ...
