Ideas about the nature of reality
Nine gateways to greater understanding: The explosive origin of creativity, mysticism and mental illness Context blindness: caetextia in individuals and organizations What the elusive 'nothing' is from which all matter and life evolved 'Relatons' and how consciousness and matter are interconnected Alpha and Omega: the oscillation that maintains the Universe Why we evolved to dream – the many functions of the REM state Hypnosis: why all learning is post-hypnotic The true causes of depression and psychosis How to improve psychotherapy and education with the human givens approach | ORDINARILY people assume that science is steadily expanding its understanding
of how things work and why. In reality however, as many scientists themselves
acknowledge, chasms of ignorance open up with every advance they
appear to make. The great gaps in fundamental knowledge at the heart of physics and
biology can seem insurmountable – but are they? The big mysteries facing science are: How
did the Universe begin? What forces hold it together? What is the
‘nothing’ out of which the information arrived that formed our
Universe? How
do particles create relationships with other particles? How
did life arise from inanimate matter – and why? What is the vital
information that made life possible – and where did it come from? How
do new
species
appear? What is consciousness? What is mind? Can an individual's consciousness
survive death? Is the Universe itself conscious? |
