Greetings, I've only listened to the first dvd of Vol 1, but it's all very exciting with talk of consciousness, time, self, freewill, talk of Eastern traditions, &etc. . Rupert Sheldrake had plenty to say about patterns, and this is only the first of four dvd's. There's over eight hours of information being presented. It is not just recorded lectures, but professionally put together with questions to each philosopher/scientist and in-depth responses. Quite amazing. At this point it seems all speculative, dynamic and extremely interesting. There's talk of quantum consciousness, proto-consciousness & there being beneath consciousness an underlying domain. ???
EDITORIAL REVIEW: What is consciousness? Is it produced by the brain, and if so, how? Or is it fundamental to the universe, where the material world somehow arises from pure consciousness? From the perspective of quantum physics, are we both observer and observed? How can becoming "more conscious" help us live better lives? The phenomenon of consciousness raises countless questions, but one thing is certain: consciousness is the most profound mystery we face as self-aware, thinking beings. In volume 1 of The Consciousness Chronicles we talk to some of the world's leading consciousness researchers from many disciplines: scientific, philosophical, experiential and mystical. Topics covered include an introduction to studying consciousness and the "hard problem", with David Chalmers and Susan Blackmore; an introduction to quantum theory, with Stuart Hameroff; consciousness in time and space, with Rupert Sheldrake, Harald Atmanspacher, Dick Bierman, and John Jacobson; and altered states of consciou sness, with Marilyn Schlitz, Tom Ray, Frank Echenhofer, Arthur Hastings, and Zoran Josipovic. The Chronicles are recorded at the world renowned Toward a Science of Consciousness conference, based in Tuscon, AZ.
