Your mind reflects the greater mind. In a dream, cosmologist Bernard Carr sees two trains on a collision course—one representing quantum physics, the other relativity theory. The next day, he reads an article about the collision between these two scientific paradigms. Was it precognition? Synchronicity? This experience challenges our conventional understanding of time, shifting from a linear 3D perspective to deeper, subjective layers. Carr shares more stories of meaningful coincidences, leading into a discussion of how physics continually expands our awareness—from the tiniest particles, like quarks, to the vast cosmos. As cosmologists delve deeper into the universe, they increasingly perceive it as a vast, ever-expanding mind—a thought in constant motion. Bernard Carr is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London. For his PhD he studied the first second of the universe with Stephen Hawking at Cambridge University and Caltech. He then held Research Fellowships at Trinity College and the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge before moving to Queen Mary. His professional area of research is cosmology and includes such topics as the early universe, black holes, dark matter and the anthropic principle. He is also very interested in the role of consciousness, regarding this as a fundamental rather than incidental feature of the Universe. He is President of the Scientific and Medical Network and a former President of the Society for Psychical Research. B.J.Carr@qmul.ac.uk Bernard D. Beitman, MD has broken out of the restrictive bounds of conservative academic research to produce a blueprint for the practically-oriented new discipline of Coincidence Studies.

Bernard Carr has kept a synchronicity diary for 30 years, knowing that if he did not write them down, they would be forgotten. As a cosmologist he is very interested in time and describes his own experiences with precognition. He also describes how clocks stop sometimes when people die and other mind-matter interactions. The latter half of our discussion focuses on the anthropic principle, how our universe is fine tuned to create the potential for our existence. He suggests that it is our arrogance that makes us believe this is the only universe, that the multiverse is real. He suggests that we need much higher dimensions to understand our minds, that there is a greater Mind of which we are a part trying to get to know itself as each of us may be trying to get to know ourselves. *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on October 28, 2024* Bernard Carr is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London.

This was recorded at the Beyond the Brain 2023 conference, by The Scientific and Medical Network: https://scientificandmedical.net/Video is also available here: https://youtu.be/KyNgE6RsGnwIain McGilchrist and Rupert Sheldrake delve into a spectrum of profound subjects, touching upon the essential role of spirituality in human endeavors, the revitalization of spiritual practices, and the fundamental structure of the cosmos. They discuss panpsychism's implications for the interconnection of consciousness and matter, the enduring nature of memory, the archetypal forms that underpin our reality, and the subtle energy fields that animate existence. The conversation also navigates the terrain of values and the purpose they serve in our lives.

Dante's imagery, particularly in the Paradiso, offers powerful prompts to developing the sense of what it is to be intelligent. He wrote for modern times, he said. And now, as AI becomes more pervasive, he can help us understand how machine learning and human intuitions are very different capacities.This was part of a talk given at the Scientific and Medical Network - https://scientificandmedical.net/webinars/For more on Mark's work, particularly on Dante, see www.markvernon.com

Dr. Vollrath saw a problem. No cohesive system for doctors to find or post jobs. He saw scattered conversations across forums, Facebook, and WhatsApp and figured he could do something about it.  So he co-founded Cherry Health, Canada's Medical Network where more than 2,000 monthly job seekers and over 1,300 employers post and look for their next job or locum opportunity.  Join me and listen in to this episode about the founding of Cherry Health, how it's helping physicians across Canada and how to get started.  Jordan, who is a practicing physician and co-founder of Cherry Health, also shares his own journey using the platform and the entrepreneurial journey that led him into the tech space with a mission to make a difference for overwhelmed doctors across Canada.  To get started, be sure to go to cherry.health (yes, that's the site). There you can create your profile and download the app on your phone and get started.  Whether you're new in practice looking for places to work to get a feel for where you'd like to settle down, or an established physician looking for someone to take over your practice for a few weeks so you can take a vacation, be sure to check out Cherry Health.  If you've got a lot of unanswered questions about your finances, like if you're making the most of your corporation, if you're putting enough away in the right places to retire, and more, you might be a good fit for a fee-based plan.  Click here to book a free discovery call where I'll help you figure out if a fee-based plan could help you: https://www.galenhelpsdocs.com/call.  As of posting this, I've opened the doors for "New Year, New Plan" for five physicians who want to hit the ground running in the new year with a plan. If you think you might be one of those five, click the link.  

Mick has had a diverse career since leaving school aged 15-years in 1972. He has worked as a builder's labourer, served as infantryman in the British Army for three and a half years, and between 1977-83 he travelled and worked around many parts of the world. From 1983-86 he lived in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, where he experienced a spiritual emergency. This transformative experience eventually informed his vocation to train as a therapist. Mick worked for many years as an NHS occupational therapist in acute mental health settings and in a specialist psychological therapies team. During this time he spent nine years training in Process Oriented Psychology. He then spent ten years working as a Lecturer and Director of Admissions within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. Mick's doctoral thesis (2012), along with his peer-reviewed articles and book chapters are mostly focused on the activation of our transpersonal potential and the process of renewal within experiences of spiritual emergence and emergency.  Mick is deeply interested in how our transformative experiences inspire our personal processes of individuation, as well as our collective efforts to tackle the multiple crises in the world at this time.  Mick has written three books, The Unselfish Spirit 2014 (Scientific and Medical Network book prize winner), The Visionary Spirit 2018 and The Restorative Spirit 2022 (Scientific and Medical Network book prize winner).

David's guest today is Dr Joan Walton, a researcher in the School of Education, Psychology and Language at York St John University, UK.  Joan has had an interest in consciousness studies from her early 20s, influenced initially by the work of Carl Jung, which led her to the work of other transpersonal psychologists, philosophers, scientists and writers about religions and spiritual traditions. Her focus has always been on the relevance of intellectual exploration for how we live our lives on a daily basis, and her working life in social work and education has reflected this. Passionate about the importance of early years, Joan's current research focuses on how to enhance the quality of intergenerational relating, with the aim of creating inclusive communities which encourage connection and compassion through the nurturing of mutually caring relationships across generations. Central to this is the idea of a participatory consciousness, in which everything and everyone is interconnected.  Joan is a member of the Board of Directors in the SMN, a member of the Galileo Commission Steering Group,  and Chair of the Executive Committee of the International Network for the Study of Spirituality.   Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness.

Bernard Carr is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London. For his PhD he studied the first second of the universe with Stephen Hawking at Cambridge University and Caltech. He then held Research Fellowships at Trinity College and the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge before moving to Queen Mary in 1985. He has also held Visiting Professorships at various institutes in America, Canada and Japan. His professional area of research is cosmology and astrophysics and includes such topics as the early universe, black holes, dark matter and the anthropic principle. He is the author of around 300 papers and the books Universe or Multiverse? and Quantum Black Holes. He is very interested in the role of consciousness, regarding this as a fundamental rather than incidental feature of the Universe, and he is developing a new physical paradigm, which accommodates normal, paranormal and mystical experiences. He also has a long-standing interest in the relationship between science and religion and views psychical research as forming a bridge between them. He is President of the Scientific and Medical Network and a former President of the Society for Psychical Research.Imagination is more important than knowledge.

David's guest today is Dr Monica Gagliano who is Research Associate Professor in Evolutionary Ecology at the Biological Intelligence (BI) Lab, Southern Cross University in Perth, Australia. Her main research is broadly focusing on key aspects of the ecological processes by which organisms are able to gather information on the variable conditions of their surrounding environment in order to thrive. In collaboration with various disciplines across the Sciences and the Humanities, her research aims at expanding our perception of animals, plants and more generally Nature. In the process of learning how to do this, she has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics and extended the concept of cognition to plants, re-igniting the discourse on plant subjectivity, sentience and ethical standing.“Not all who wander are lost” - Goethe“The soul has an absolute and unforgiving need for regular excursions into enchantment” - Thomas MooreImaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness.

Bernard Carr is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London. As an undergraduate, he read mathematics at Cambridge University and for his Ph.D. he studied the first second of the Universe, working under Stephen Hawking. He was elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1975, and in 1980 spent a year traveling around America as a Lindemann Fellow before taking up a Senior Research Fellowship at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. In 1984 he was awarded the Adams Prize, one of the UK's most prestigious mathematical awards. In 1985 he moved to Queen Mary and he became a Professor there in 1995. He has also held Visiting Professorships at various institutes in America, Canada, and Japan. His professional area of research is cosmology and astrophysics and includes such topics as the early universe, black holes, dark matter, and the anthropic principle. He is the author of around 300 papers and the books Universe or Multiverse? and Quantum Black Holes. He is also very interested in the role of consciousness as a fundamental rather than incidental feature of the Universe. In particular, he is developing a new psychophysical paradigm linking matter and mind which accommodates normal, paranormal, and mystical experiences. He also has a long-standing interest in the relationship between science and religion, especially Buddhism, having been the coholder of a grant from the Templeton Foundation for a project entitled “Fundamental Physics, Cosmology and the Problem of our Existence". He is President of The Scientific and Medical Network and a former President of the Society for Psychical Research.

The Scientific and Medical Network organised a gathering on Friday 8th July to mark Rupert's 80th birthday and reflect on his work. In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert and Mark Vernon discuss the day, recalling remarks made by speakers including Merlin Sheldrake, Jill Purce, David Lorimer and Pam Smart. They discuss a variety of themes seminal to Rupert's work, from science as the calling to share in a living cosmos to the business of coping with sceptics, which is not without its amusing as well as tricky moments. The conversation celebrates the richness of an engaged and free approach to the study of the natural world, with its many mysteries, often active immediately around us everyday.
