#270 - Decoding The Science Of Energy & Consciousness w/ Ana María Oliva

The first step in understanding the nature of our material world can be found in the ritualistic practices of indigenous people.  Native Americans would expose sand on a taught buckskin to rhythmic chants and drums, while the particles danced to a geometric still-point. Australian Aborigines produced similar effects with the didgeridoo, and Tibetan Buddhists did the same with their wind instrument known as the dungchen. Harmonic patterns (Cymatics) are the proving ground for what has eluded Western "Science" in its quest for answering the most basic of questions, "what makes the material universe tick"? The profundity underlying these simple & observable truths is that human consciousness produces resonant patterns with every thought, emotion & deed! We're excited to host Ana Maria Oliva on this special Alfacast to help us unpack what our distant ancestors knew regarding pattern recognition and the Natural Order from a contemporary context of 'Information - Energy - Matter'. Ana Maria is the perfect guide for this exploratory discussion.  Here's just a few of Ana Maria's credentials: Mom of twins, industrial mechanical engineer, master inBiomedical Engineering (extraordinary award ) from the University of Barcelona, PhD Biomedicine (Study of the effects of electric fields on cells), 5 years working in the NanoBioEngineering Lab and Microbiology Lab, with a 20 year history of teaching at different levels.  She has clinical experience with 10.000+ patients, while working in the most-awarded clinic in Europe.  Ana Maria has additionally been involved in "science for consciousness" conferences spanning 16 some countries, published 5 books, and created the Living University of Terrain and the EscuelasVivas.    This one is not to be missed, as our conversation is sure to deliver a good number of eye-openers, as we traverse many fascinating topics.

En el programa de hoy, Fernando Villegas criticó duramente la columna de Giorgio Jackson sobre los logros del gobierno, enfocándose en el concepto de gratuidad como símbolo del deterioro educativo y cultural del país. Además, abordó la reciente manifestación de pescadores artesanales en Valparaíso y acusó al parlamentario Daniel Núñez de instigar la violencia, citando declaraciones de Fidel Espinoza. También cuestionó las declaraciones del subsecretario del Interior, Manuel Cordero, sobre la supuesta baja en los índices de criminalidad, calificándolo como un “spin doctor” alejado de la realidad ciudadana. Posteriormente, analizó cómo la percepción de inseguridad está generando una nostalgia activa por un régimen autoritario. Finalmente, reflexionó sobre la reconfiguración geopolítica global, planteando que grandes potencias como EE.UU., Rusia y China están en una disputa territorial similar a la de Yalta, y concluyó comentando una encuesta de Pulso Ciudadano y recomendando el libro The Beginnings of Western Science de David Lindberg.

This gentle book explores the deep knowledge coming out of the Indigenous way of living on the land. Using stories coming from her Potawatomi ancestors, Dr. Kimmerer shares traditional ways of gardening and harvesting, as well as some of the origin stories of her people. She then weaves these together with knowledge from botany and Western Science, showing us that both traditions have legitimacy. She underlines practices of gratitude in how we live on the land, and reminds us that we live in reciprocal relationships with our world.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Lee Klinger, Ph.D., an Independent Scientist and Consultant in Big Sur, CA currently working with the Department of Natural Resources of the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County, and with the Mutsun Costanoan leaders at Indian Canyon Nation. Since 2005 he has served as the director of Sudden Oak Life, a movement aimed at applying fire mimicry practices to address the problems of forest decline and severe wildfires in California. He has more than forty years of experience in forestry, plant and soil ecology, atmospheric chemistry, earth system science, and nature photography, and has held scholarly appointments at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the University of Colorado, the University of Oxford, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Geological Society of London. His book — Forged By Fire : The Cultural Tending of Trees and Forests in Big Sur and Beyond — is the focus of this episode. Big Sur is home to many remarkable trees, including ancient groves of oddly shaped oaks and peculiar groupings and strange fire scars in old-growth redwoods, all dating from a time when the Esselen People were the sole human occupants of the region. Upon close inspection, these oddities are found to be the result of cultural burning and other tending practices by the Esselen. Now, however, too many of these living artifacts are dying and perishing in flames from the stresses imposed by our modern culture. By bringing together both Western science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge systems, the solutions to these problems become self-evident — either reintroduce cultural fire to the land or, if that is not possible, mimic its effects using materials and practices that emulate fire. In this episode hosts Michael Shields and Lee Kliger discuss the importance of using fire as a tool in landscape and forest management, the craft of fire mimicry, the benefits of marrying Western Science with Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and so much more.

One of the pitfalls in sustainability movements is this assumption that we're all working from an equal playing field, when the reality is that oftentimes we don't have the home space or the time to grow our own food. What we don't always ask is whether we can make the comproimses that allow us to meet those desires to grow our own food without the high demands often required of it conventionally.  My guest this week is Natalie Paterson, who has brought together her Indigenous cultural background and her scientific training to explore what we can do with microgreens. Growing up in New Zealand, Natalie was inspired by her Māori upbringing to explore the value of growing your own food. Natalie completed a BSci in nutritional biochemistry and an MS in food science at Chapman University in Orange County, California. Natalie pursued food science (the study of food from farm to fork), as she recognizes that food is intrinsic within every facet of life, thereby holding the power to promote health while preventing and curing disease.  Natalie speaks on her previous experience bringing scientific expertise to the market, identifying through her move to London, England, that there is often no connection between food, people, and nutrition. With the demand for at-home fresh vegetables persisting regardless of one's location, Natalie speaks today on the ways that indoor hydroponic smart gardens can help make people's cooking more simple, nutritious, and sustainable.

Reflecting on his recent participation in a Catholic event, he explores the historical perspectives on purpose, drawing from the works of Aristotle and the impact of the Judeo-Christian tradition on the development of Western science. Dr. Patrick provides a nuanced analysis of how the loss of moral consensus and the elevation of science over spirituality have influenced modern society, particularly among the youth. He discusses the importance of a moral structure in sustaining societies and the consequences of its erosion, touching upon topics such as the Industrial Revolution, the role of Christianity in shaping Western thought, and contemporary challenges like promiscuity, anxiety, and the loss of purpose among the younger generation.

We discuss the effectiveness of combining traditional Indigenous ecological knowledge and Western science for conservation and restoration initiatives on this episode. Our first guest is Dr. Gary Paul Nabhan, an ethnobotanist at the University of Arizona, who discusses an ancestral food of the Comcaac people in the state of Sonora in Mexico: eelgrass. Nabhan explains how eelgrass is making a big comeback thanks to the people's restoration work, and is retaking its place at the table as a sustainable source of food for the Comcaac community while gaining international culinary attention in the process. Host Mike G. also speaks with Dr. Sara Iverson, a professor of biology at Canada's Dalhousie University, about a research project called Apoqnmatulti'k that aims to better understand the movements of lobster, eel, and tomcod in two important ecosystems on Canada's Atlantic coast. Iverson explains why those study species were chosen by the Mi'kmaq people and why it's so important that the project combines different ways of knowing, including Western science and traditional Indigenous knowledge, which a Mi'kmaq elder dubbed 'two-eyed seeing.'

He is the multiple-award winning author of 23 books, a score of memoir and fictional short stories, and numerous nonfiction articles.He is a tireless advocate for the reincorporation of the exploratory artist, independent scholar, amateur naturalist, and citizen scientist in American society - especially as a counterweight to the influence of corporate science and technology.I was first introduced to Stephen's work through my encounters with Lyme Disease–of which Stephen is (in my words) the preeminent expert. He essentially wrote the Bible of how to understand the disease and treat it effectively yourself with herbs (spoiler, it works).Later I discovered Stephen wrote twenty two other books on far-ranging topics across many disciplines, incorporating radically subversive ideas about intelligence, ecology, environmentalism, science, mental health, and perception.I wanted to discuss “Gaia Theory” with Stephen–the idea that the Earth is a sentient, self regulating organism, and how that overlaps with the ayahuasca experience–and discuss we did.Also in this episode are:Western Science's origins in the Protestant Revolution (and why that's bad)Rationalism and the dissection of nature into discrete partsThe Journey of the Self, learning to think for yourself and discard inherited beliefs"Who Am I?" Reframing painful experiences as part of your personal mythPlant and Bacterial IntelligenceThe function of psychedelics in ecosystemsInvasive species as a natural reorganization of Earth's ecosystemsLyme DiseaseHerbalism, the deeply ingrained societal beliefs that dismiss itHow to present information that bridges two paradigmsThe limiting trap of trying to win approval and mainstream acceptance with fundamentally paradigm shifting ideas ("Trying to make Daddy proud")You cannot control or suppress nature--humans are destined for some tough lessons.And so much more that if you're not curious already,  there is no point in me typing the rest of it, so go to the mall instead (and pick me up a Cinnabon).

In this episode, Michael spoke with Courtney Carothers, a professor in the college of Fisheries and Oceans at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. They discussed Courtney's work on "catch share", or individual transferable quota policies in fisheries, indigenous fisheries management systems, and the negative impacts that catch shares have often had on indigenous fishers. Catch shares are a dominant panacea being employed by the U.S. government to manage our shared fisheries resources, and a important critique of them discussed during the interview is the ways in which they prioritize efficiency and profit, lead to rights consolidation, and alienate local users from their traditional livelihoods. Courtney framed this process as being a symptomatic component of the broader processes of forced integration and colonization that has occurred in the U.S. and Canada. They also talked about how collaborative relationships can be built for transdisciplinary work.

Are our scientific assumptions justified? In this episode we're going to be examining the assumptions of Western Science. All science is based on assumptions. In order to isolate systems in experiments and standardise measurements of the target data, other variables need to be pinned down so scientists can form precise mathematical models, that can then be repeated accurately in the peer review process. Today we're going to look at these assumptions, and establish if they indeed have become standard, fixed and unquestioned as some critics claim. One of those critics is Cambridge educated biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who gave a TED talk in 2013 about the assumptions of western science, which was banned by TED's anonymous board of scientific advisors for not being a ‘fair description of scientific assumptions'. Far from quieting the controversy, the ban caused outcries of censorship, and the ripped video was seen many millions of times on You Tube, probably many times more than had it been left to stand as one scientists opinion. Today I want to examine just how fair his description was. To help us examine his claims is one of Rupert's old friends and supporters, a specialist in the history and philosophy of science, an author and the program director of the Scientific and Medical Network, David Lorimer. He is also President of Wrekin Trust and Chief Consultant of Character Education Scotland. He is also a former President of the Swedenborg Society, and Vice-President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. Originally a merchant banker then a teacher of philosophy and modern languages at Winchester College, he is the author and editor of over a dozen books, most recently ‘The Protein Crunch' (with Jason Drew) and ‘A New Renaissance', and out this year his new book ‘a quest for wisdom'. He is the originator of the Inspire-Aspire Values Poster Programmes, which this year involved over 25,000 young people. What we discuss in this episode: 00:00 Compulsory philosophy and death 07:32 Examining Rupert Sheldrake's 10 claimed assumptions of western science 09:10 The ‘Life and nature are mechanistic' assumption 19:30 The ‘Matter is unconscious' assumption 29:40 ‘The laws of nature are constant' assumption 38:26 The Galileo Commission - get everyone to look though the telescope 43:00 Reality is relational not relative - Apilla Colorado and Leroy Little bear 44:45 The ‘Nature is Purposeless' assumption - teleology 52:30 ‘Biological heredity is only physical' and ‘memory is in your Brain' assumptions 55:00 Morphogenetic fields and memories of previous lives and birthmarks 1:01:45 ‘Your mind is in your head, your consciousness is correlated to your brain activity' assumption 1:05:30 ‘Psychic phenomena and telepathy are impossible' assumption FOR PART 2 TIME CODES AND THE MANY MORE REFERENCES FROM THIS EPISODE PLEASE VISIT: https://www.chasingconsciousness.net/episode-13-assumptions-of-science-david-lorimer References: Rupert Sheldrake ‘Science set free' David Lorimer ‘A Quest for Wisdom' David Lorimer ‘Thinking Beyond the Brain' The Galileo Commission - get everyone to look though the telescope The Scientific and Medical Network

Dans cette deuxième partie, nous poursuivons notre voyage historique, anthropologique et spirituel dans l'univers fascinant du vodou haïtien, en nous plongeant au cœur de ses aspects métaphysiques. Qu'est-ce que la philosophie vodou ? Comment les notions de divin, de bien, de mal, d'âme, d'individu, sont-elles conceptualisées dans le paradigme vodou ? Au passage, nous nous intéresserons à la notion de genre dans la culture vodou, laquelle démontre une vision notablement inclusive vis-à-vis des genres et des sexualités alternatives. Au détour d'un poétique passage conté, je vous ferai aussi découvrir une recette de prêtresse haïtienne pour soigner les « limbés », les chagrins d'amour… Pour finir, nous effectuerons un voyage accéléré dans l'histoire coloniale et postcoloniale haïtienne, pour comprendre comment et pourquoi le vaudou (et plus largement, Haïti toute entière) en est venu à être stigmatisé et diabolisé dans l'imaginaire collectif global.

Join us as we discuss how Native American higher education works to blend tribal beliefs with modern science and understanding. Our guest, Josh Hoskinson, STEM Program Coordinator at Tohono O'odham Community College shares how, historically, education attempted to strip tribal people of their beliefs in order to help them better understand western science. Modern tribal education seeks to blend tradition and western science in order to maintain cultural integrity.   Join us on IG @s.h.a.p.e.shifters Podcast produced by The Creator's Attaché LLC IG: @thecreatorsattache www.thecreatorsattache.com
