Just as quantum mechanics has been a powerful theory unifying our understanding of physics, it can also serve as a unifying theory in the field of creativity. Dr. Amit Goswami maintains that the discontinuities observed in quantum physics allow for the creative leaps that are at the heart of all ...

The planets in astrology represent important distinctions concerning the different realms of reality that often become confused in science. In part one of this two-part program, Arthur M. Young states that insights about angular relationships were very important in the development of the helicopt...

A noted scientist discusses free will, consciousness, attention and memory and their relationship to the human nervous system. In a wide ranging discussion, Crick points out that the hypothesis that the brain is the seat of consciousness has not yet been proven.

The late Francis Crick, Ph.D., re...

Physicist Fred Wolf speculates on the nature of human consciousness, its relationship to the brain and to the world of dreaming. In this highly entertaining program, he presents evidence suggesting that the world of dreams is ontologically real, discussing the "dreamtime" of the Australian aborig...

Fred Wolf presents an enlightening survey of the human notion of the Soul from ancient wisdom to modern physics, including the view that there is but on Soul in the universe--the universal consciousness of which we all partake.

Many new trends in the field of biology--including systems theory, complexity theory, chaos theory, the Gaia hypothesis--suggest a new approach to the understanding of living systems. this view of our intimate involvement with the web of life can lead us toward ways of living that are ecologicall...

Jack Sarfatti presents his model for "post-quantum physics" in which he postulates that consciousness exists at a level outside of time and space, beyond that of quantum mechanical probability waves. He suggests that this scientific model may eventually allow us to build conscious computer chips....

The holographic model allows us to conceptualize phenomena that have remained on the fringes of science -- synchronicities, psychic experiences, UFOs, poltergeists, spiritual experiences, states of higher consciousness. In Part One of this two part program Michael Talbot discusses the holographic...
