This is our forum to bring you news and post links to the sites we thought you should be aware of
regarding the good work many are doing to raise and practice awareness.
Did you know that the Institute of Noetic Sciences has published a book exploring the science
behind mind-body healing. This group conducts some wonderful research projects and also
publishes a journal called Shift…check it out...
The Fetzer Institute describes their mission: “to foster awareness of the power of love and
forgiveness in the emerging global community” They are currently offering up to one million dollars
for “scientific research projects on compassionate love in a relational context” Congratulations to
Michael Heller for winning the 2008 Templeton Prize. This Polish thinker “has become a compelling
figure in the realms of physics and cosmology, theology, and philosophy with his cogent and
provocative concepts on issues that all of these disciplines pursue, albeit from often vastly
different perspectives. With an academic and religious background that enables him to comfortably
and credibly move within each of these domains, Heller’s extensive writings have evoked new and
important consideration of some of humankind's most profound concepts.” We love the
Templeton Foundation for asking the big questions such as “ Does science make belief in God
obsolete?”
The University of Arizona is offering Consciousness: A Webcourse, …sign up soon. This group, a
part of the Center for Consciousness Studies has done a wonderful job with recent conferences,
committed to a focus of both science and philosophy.
The Human Consciousness Project is an international consortium of multidisciplinary scientists and
physicians who are doing studies that suggest the human mind and consciousness may in fact
function at a time when the clinical criteria of death are fully present and the brain has ceased
functioning. This is the largest study ever done on the near-death experience. Their findings may
have profound universal implications for our social understanding of death and the dying process.
We praise the University of Virginia and the work of Ian Stevenson who committed his life-long
research to the spontaneous past life memories of children. Have a look at his research and
publications:
Have a look at the Dr. Tucker’s continuation of reincarnation research being done and his book Life
Before Life… PEARS reborn, sort of.
After being a follower of the recently deceased Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research
Laboratory which was dedicated to consciousness exploration they seem to have reincarnated to
the International Consciousness Research Laboratories. Have a look at their activities which
include “Acoustical properties of ancient ceremonial sites and contemporary environments” as well
as “Eastern and Western traditions and practices relating to the role of consciousness in
mind/body health.”
Also let’s not forget the work at the Univ of Arizona on mediumship published in Explore Journal:
Anomalous Information Reception by Research Mediums Demonstrated Using a Novel Triple-Blind
Protocol. Beischel’s findings “suggest that certain mediums can anomalously receive accurate
information about deceased individuals.” Here you can watch her discuss her findings:
Beischel has now joined the Windbridge Institute for Applied Research in Human Potential. Their
journal, Journal of MindBody States includes articles on Humanistic and transpersonal experiences,
Mediumship, Energy healing, and Shamanism.
Here is something interesting: The Alistair Hardy Society Religious Experience Research Centre is a
wonderful group who are invested in the collection of original experiences of a spiritual and
religious nature. If you have one, contribute here:
They also have publications ranging from Medieval & Modern Women Mystics to Religious
Experience in Islam. Have a look at the list here click on Publication link to left. Taste: An online
journal published by Dr. Charles Tartt “devoted to transcendent experiences that scientists have
reported. It lets scientists express these experiences in a psychologically (and professionally) safe
space.”
