Where is My Mind?

Is mind contained within us, or us within it? When it comes to what science calls 'the hard problem', we still have no understanding about the nature of consciousness. That it could be a field, rather than isolated within us, might explain what appear to be the group minds of termites, ants and bees or the pulsating murmurations of starling. It could even help explain the pervasive global practise of prayer and magic, and non-contact forms of healing like Reiki.  This episode is not setting out to prove or disprove the existence of a field of consciousness but – in the Nutopian spirit of enquiry – to offer a voice to a variety of individuals and scientists doing pioneering work in consciousness studies.. For the making of this episode our intrepid presenter spent a week at Broughton Sanctuary for an event called Science and Consciousness: Making Wyrd the Norm. Here he learned the fascinating history of thought experiments at Princeton and Northampton Universities, tries his hand at remote viewing and meets Wyrd Experience founder Peter Merry.  With guests Jeff Dunne, Peter Merry, Karin Valis, Annette Grathoff, Chris Roe, David Luke, Kirsty Allan and John Lloyd https://gowyrd.org/ www.ubiquityuniversity.org/annual-science-and-consciousness-event/ Peter Merry https://petermerry.org  ICRL (Jeff Dunne) https://icrl.org  Kirsty Allan https://kirstylucindaallan.com David Luke https://www.instagram.com/drdluke/?hl=en Karin Valis https://www.instagram.com/mercurial_minutes/
