Go Beyond - with Rupert Sheldrake | Virtual Futures Salon

Описание: Virtual Futures presents Rupert Sheldrake in conversation on his new book 'Ways to Go Beyond And Why They Work: Seven Spiritual Practices in a Scientific Age' (Hodder & Stoughton, 2019).

To go beyond is to move into a higher state of consciousness, to a place of bliss, greater understanding, love, and deep connectedness, a realm where we finally find life's meaning - experiences for which all spiritual seekers seek.

Dr Rupert Sheldrake, writing as both a scientist and a spiritual explorer, looks at seven spiritual practices that are personally transformative and have scientifically measurable effects. He combines the latest scientific research with his extensive knowledge of mystical traditions around the world to show how we may tune into more-than-human realms of consciousness through psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, and by taking cannabis. He also shows how everyday activities can have mystical dimensions, including sports and learning from animals. He discusses traditional religious practices such as fasting, prayer, and the celebration of festivals and holy days.

Why do these practices work? Are their effects all inside brains and essentially illusory? Or can we really make contact with forms of consciousness greater than our own?

In conversation with Luke Robert Mason, Director of Virtual Futures.
