What is the premise of the Morphic Resonance Theory? The lower laws of nature are more like habits. Meaning, each species has a type of collective memory, the collective unconscious so to speak, not just a memory of behavior like instinct, but also a form. For example, when a cabbage grows, it's tapping into a collective cabbage memory, a memory of form. This understanding in general isn’t a new concept. However, what Dr. Sheldrake’s theory also suggests is there's a resonance between similar self-organizing systems across space and time.  Morphic resonance is a holistic theory. It works through morphic fields rather than in granulated atomistic bits—in other words, in-form-motion rather than simply information, which extends from a memory source that exists in a morphic field, a form of energy, outside the brain. “Memory is a phenomenon in time, not in space, and I think that the whole of the past is potentially present everywhere and that we access it through resonance on the basis of similarity.” According to French philosopher Henri Bergson, memories are not stored in brains and involve a direct transfer across time.  Morphogenetic fields reverberate and exchange information within a universal life force. Do you ever feel someone staring at you only to turn around to find there is? How do your pets know you’re on your way home? A mother’s intuition is another example of the energetic exchange of information. What patterns and information are you sending?

Dr. Stuart Hameroff proposes that consciousness originates in quantum states interacting with neural microtubules. He challenges the notion of the brain as a computer and suggests diving deeper into neuron complexity for understanding. Conscious awareness is seen at the fundamental level of the universe, akin to musicians warming up, indicating the proto conscious moments. The discussion spans mystical philosophy, quantum interactions in microtubules, and altered states of consciousness inducing neuronal noise and protein frequency shifts.

Robot Koch is an award winning artist/producer/composer and devoted meditator from Berlin, living in Los Angeles. He has been steadily crafting a mature and original sound that expertly combines a deep and cinematic atmosphere, emotional reflection and forward-thinking production of dialogues between technology and nature. He explores the spaces between ambient sounds, venturing into the unknown—the quantum field of pure potential—to create healing sonic oceans in which to float. This buoyant conversation includes topics such as Robot’s watching dreams as though they’re movies and “rescuing” melodic segments upon awakening. Does inspiration come from the subconscious, or something greater? Being a clear-channel conduit by giving the ego’s endless thought engine a little break. Setting intention for nuanced frequencies and energetic vibrations and creating music that can “trick people to heal.” A single reverberating, decaying note on a piano awakened Robot’s passion for sound at a very young age. His fascination shifted from piano to the intensity of drumming, and the enjoyment he found programming beats with early digital samplers. His love for the surreal storytelling of science fiction moved him to venture further into otherworldly mysteries. “The unknown is where true wisdom lies. Robot’s music described by one reviewer as "artificial intelligence discovering religion.” Host, Mark Certo, plays a sample of “Foam and Sand,” showcasing Robot's ongoing musical oscillation between nature and technology. Koch resists the constant drive to grow, and champions the beauty of downsizing and simplifying; taking care not to just outsource and externalize one’s hopes and dreams, but learning to tap the inspiration to explore the outermost regions of the inner self. His ultimate fascination is sparked by the unknown, and his music is intended as a trusted, warm embrace in dark places—dark as in merely unknown, not threatening. An amazing synchronistic meeting resulted in his discovery of the unique power of combining signals with sound, and his ultimate collaboration on projects with Monroe Institute. For Robot Koch, science, meditation, and being surrounded by nature creates the space that fuels inspiration and ultimately opens the channel for the gift of his uniquely healing sound to pour through.

The information Robert Temple reveals in this episode has the potential to kick our beliefs about “the heavens”— the sun, moon, stars, and space itself—into radical revision. Modern physics addresses only the world of matter, excluding the greater reality. The developing science of plasma physics reveals that the heavens are made not of atoms, but of subatomic plasma. Our sun: plasma. The stars: plasma. Space: plasma. 99.99% of the universe is actually plasma, the fourth state of matter from which gas, liquid and solids emerge. From this basic premise things get wild beyond prior imagining. A 1961 discovery of two giant space clouds—each one nine times the size of earth, and positioned between earth and the moon—challenged conventional astronomy, and so was shelved for decades. The extraordinary significance of these massive “dusty complex plasma" clouds is now becoming known. Dusty complex plasma—the “dust” is important—can self-organize and emerge with rudimentary consciousness, then go on to evolve to become intelligent entities. Certain gnostic texts revealed awareness of the clouds, describing them as two giant divine beings. Might these clouds be agents of our much larger sun? Should we consider that Moses’ burning bush was actually a messenger plasma ball? Or Ball lightning and orbs—data-gathering plasma drones? Is plasma the medium of information exchange throughout the universe in some grand experiment? This episode weaves ancient wisdom, cutting edge plasma physics, and universal consciousness into a wondrous fabric of a vast, ever-evolving living essence. Robert Temple is a professor, an independent scholar, and author of more than a dozen provocative books, including the most recent, A New Science of Heaven.

Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about these ancient monuments, and so much more! Author, professor, deep researcher and self-proclaimed “arch skeptic of traditional thinking” Robert Temple shares his provocative reinterpretations of how and why they came to be, and how they’ve been used—and abused—at various times in history. Discrepancies in dating are often ignored, and manipulation or misinterpretation of new evidence protects ancient Egyptology's status quo. The pyramids at Giza are said to have been built by slaves using ropes and ramps to haul tons of massive rock that came from many miles away. Our guest says no, and offers his theory. How can stones be carved to fit together so exactly that a blade cannot be wedged between them? Whose face is on the conspicuously small head of the Sphinx... and who, or what, was the Sphinx modeled on, originally? Ancient civilizations often practiced deception to protect their discoveries, inventions and goods. How ancient, amazingly perfect "Viking lenses” made with crystal-carving technology ruffled the establishment years later. The riddle of Atlantis and how the pre-dating megalithic culture may be involved. Phoenicians—the first successful arms dealers? And what about the West African Dogon Tribe’s mysterious cosmology involving a visitor from the distant, invisible star, Sirius B? These are mere samples of ancient mysteries we spotlight in this thought-provoking episode. Our conversation continues in Part 2. Robert Temple has authored more than a dozen books, including the international best-seller, The Sirius Mystery, and the most recent, A Science of Heaven. He has done archeological dating work and intensive exploration of closed sites in Egypt with the permission of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. Robert is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and an abiding member of the Egypt Exploration Society and numerous other academic societies. His research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken.

Why does the Law of Attraction often not “deliver the goods"? Is there a better map for this journey? Continuing from Part 1, Dr. Bullard brings further clarity to the high art and deep science of physical manifestation. Foundations must be built before you add the roof to your Temple of the Self. Introspection and subconscious cleansing are a good start. Pop culture encourages self-entitlement and gratification. Learn to discern positive, balanced ego from narcissism and direct your focus into the collective higher good. We each contribute to all that happens through the quantum field. Learn to see how you think. Accept the revelation; revolutionize the life. You are part of an inherent Oneness. God is within … and beyond. We are "grounding rods" for divine activity on earth, and sticking with a coherent plan optimizes results. A multidimensional blueprint is here. Step up, step in and activate this co-creative initiative through your life. Create and experience peace, beauty, an "edenic reality." Books can help, but wisdom must be lived for life to progress through ascension. Handle powerful teachings responsibly. We’re all in this together, we each affect the whole. Theresa Bullard is an author, world-renown speaker, Mystery School teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia TV. Studying Jung, New Thought and Alchemy synchronistically led Dr. Bullard to “Life Activation” sessions, which in turn led her to one comprehensive path taught through the New Mystery School. Here she found powerful applications for activating the inner plane and catalyzing shifts that brought pieces of her search together into an accelerated journey of empowered living. 

Dr. Theresa Bullard, an author and Mystery School instructor, discusses how science and spirituality merge to expand consciousness. They explore their journey from scientific thinking to spiritual awakening and the profound changes brought about by life activation sessions. The podcast also delves into the metaphorical stories of Adam and Eve, explores duality and balance in Kabbalistic training, and examines the concept of tikkun olam and raising consciousness. Additionally, they touch on free will, the significance of the tree of knowledge in Kabbalah, and the connection between the quantum vacuum and ancient wisdom.

Dr. Bruce Greyson is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia and author of several books on near-death experiences (NDEs).In this podcast, we look into themes commonly present during NDEs, such as: faster and clearer thinking a diminished sense of time overwhelming feelings of peace, wellbeing and joy awareness of cosmic unity new sounds & colors, and visions of the future that often come to pass. These phenomena lead to a deconstruction of the concept that the brain and mind are inexplicably linked. An NDE slows the brain, while the mind processes clearer than ever. If the brain can stop but the mind keeps going, what does this indicate about the nature of consciousness?

Ego trip as a “good tool for self understanding.” Consciousness is both knowledge-based and intuitive. These are a few of the topics in episode 30 part 2 with Dr. Raymond Moody. Fate and consciousness—Dr. Moody recalls a string of meaningful coincidences where synchronicity abounds. Next he moves on to psychomanteums and ancient Greece. Do we live in several planes at once? The common sense theory: “Common sense draws a very sharp impermeable line between life [this life] and death.” Explore. What motivates Dr. Moody is things that don’t make sense and the profound spiritual component they offer. The art of critical thinking and the art of science requires an open and discriminating mind.

In part 1 of our conversation with Dr. Raymond Moody, we discuss what potential exists beyond the physical, and is there such a thing as a precise moment of death—or is it more a waning of “residual biological activity in the body on the atomic level?” After years of researching near-death experiences (NDE), Dr. Moody found common patterns existing among people who’ve experienced them. For example, an out-of-body experience (OBE) commonly occurs during an NDE. They also report feeling comforted, at peace and in a state of absolute love. They also come to realize no matter what we may be seeking—wealth, power, knowledge—the most important thing we should be cultivating in this life is how to love. Why is love such an important lesson to be learned? Our earth-based notions reflect a lack of the true understanding of the nature of love. It simply is. Love is beyond language; it's expansive, much like the universe itself. A giant in the field of consciousness research, Dr. Moody feels “consciousness has a narrative effect to it.” What is your life story, and what is the subject of its narrative? To be continued in part 2 with Dr. Moody.
