Is Consciousness the Unified Field?
2024-11-10 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher Roy Anderson and host Nuard Israelyan.
What is the relationship of cutting edge science and the ancient science of consciousness? Quantum physics describes the Unified Field as a field beyond space, time, and matter. From the Vedic perspective, the human nervous system is able to directly experience this field of pure consciousness.
Dr John Hagelin, a Harvard trained quantum physicist, explores the relationship between quantum physics and Vedic Science. Are they incompatible paradigms or do they confirm the existence of the other? In this pre-recorded presentation at the “Science and Nonduality Conference,” Dr Hagelin posits three arguments for the thesis that the Unified Field described by physics is actually a field of consciousness.
In this session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how modern science and the ancient Vedic wisdom describe the same underlying reality from objective and subjective perspectives.
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.
