Today visionary thinker, futurist and filmmaker Mitch Schultz joins Dr. Kelly to explore humanity as we approach the technological singularity. What is the singularity, and what does it mean for humanity Explore a transdisciplinary approach at the intersection of the arts, cognitive psychology, deep learning, and philosophy. Guided by Consciousness, Evolution, and Story. Beginning with what conscious state of being terrestrial and universal is perceiving. Followed the one constant we can all agree on or perceive, everything goes through a change process. Lastly, what is the biological/mythological codification that continually unfolds a more complex iteration of ldquoreality.rdquoHumanity sits poised for a momentous leap in consciousness. Our technology allows us to see further and deeper with every novel invention. At the same time we perceive only a fraction of the universe, and are reminded of our minuscule place in the cosmos. Our language minimizes possibilities, and the potential evolutionary projection. However, our tech reveals novel paradigms and potentially the source code of all creation.

This week, Carl Johan Calleman returns to the show dicuss his new book, The Nine Waves of Creation. The Nine Waves of Creation presents a speculative cosmology supported by the recent discovery that galaxies in the universe are not located randomly, but ordered in a way that radically challenges previous cosmological assumptions. If Calleman's ideas -- which are refreshingly wild but rationally argued -- are even partially correct, today's assumptions about the nature of evolution and the evolution of nature will need to be reconsidered.We will discuss the Birth of the Universe, the Tree of Life, the Mayan Calendar, Human Evolution and moreCarl Johan Calleman is a scientist and philosopher who has devoted his past thirty years to understanding the evolution of life and consciousness based on the Mayan calendar. Born in Stockholm, Sweden he gained a Ph.D. in Physical Biology and spent twenty years doing laboratory research into toxicology and Cancer Research. In this capacity he was a Senior Researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle and has served as an expect for the World Health Organization in addition to giving lectures at places like MIT, Institut Pasteur, Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine and the National Cancer Institute in Tokyo.In 1994 he left his carrier in the hard sciences behind and started to lecture about one of the greatest mysteries of our time: The Mayan Calendar and has for instance written six books on this topic with the aim of making this accessible to modern people. The most recent books are The Global Mind and the Rise of Civilization June 2016 and The Nine Waves of Creation ndash Quantum Physics, Holographic Evolution and the Destiny of Humanity December 2016. His focus has been on explaining both biological and mental evolution up until the current time and beyond. He has also worked with Mayan elders such as Hunbatz Men and Don Alejandro Oxlaj and helped them to get their message out.

In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexanderrsquos brain was severely damaged by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a week-long coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but Dr. Alexander miraculously survived ndash and brought back with him an astounding story told in his best-seller Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife. During seven days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness, and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned completely violated everything he ever knew about brain, mind and consciousness, and drove him to question some of the most fundamental assumptions of conventional science, leading to a complete flip from his former worldview.The entire scientific community is facing a similar conundrum: how to explain that consciousness is merely a byproduct of the brain when overwhelming evidence suggests otherwise. Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal. Dr. Alexander will speak about his experience since his NDE and his observations about consciousness, mindfulness, healing and love.
