Expanding on Consciousness
The Monroe Institute's Expanding on Consciousness includes conversations with scientists and practitioners about the many perspectives and ideas around consciousness: human, non-human, scientific, spiritual, experiential and more. We invite the curious… to speak, listen, learn and apply new ways of thinking about what it means to be interconnected conscious beings. Our host, Mark Certo, will engage well known experts, trainers and other fascinating guests in insightful and sometimes surprising conversations about the many disciplines and aspects of consciousness—in all its forms.

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. Howeve...
Well known for his controversial work with quantum theorists Roger Penrose, Dr. Hameroff suggests that consciousness originates in quantum states, and then interacts with neural microtubules indicating that the brain actually still has something to do with consciousness while at the same time, introducing the idea that quantum field theory holds that consciousness is fundamental and exists outside of the brain....

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.

Discrepancies in dating are often ignored, and manipulation or misinterpretation of...
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-entitle...

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...

Don Miguel Ruiz Jr., author of The 5 Levels of Attachment and The Mastery of Self, followed his Mesoamerican grandmother’s passion as a healer. “She passed away in 2008 and is still the spiritual head of this family,” he recounts. His journey began as her apprentice, translating her teachings into English. When he reached his mid-20s his father intensified his training and instructed him to find his way out, go home, and master de...

The Hero's Journey. The evolution of humanity not just on an individual level yet it is deeply personal. There was a time when we were in our own private Garden of Eden, our Mother's womb. "We have been sent from this place of Oneness and we are always making decisions. Consciousness means we now have choice and that's a responsibility."
Everything is a subjective experience of an objective reality. On one level of reality. On anot...
There is a schism of sorts between the mechanistic clinical psychotherapy and the Jungian approach. Jungian Therapy is a lens through which we look at the world in the search for meaning and wholeness, individuation. Jungian brings in that archetype eye. “CG Jung refers to archetypes as a mode of thought present in the unconscious. A universal pattern of energy and how it manifests.” Archetypes are living energy that is ubiquitous ...

Self-actualization is a function of consciousness where the inner-self is recognized and expressed in one's life. When conducting a pea plant experiment to test associative learning, Dr. Gagliano used a classical conditioning experiment similar to the "Pavlovian Dog" ...
We're all part of this greater consciousness. How does that extend to nature? Initially interested in plant communication Dr. Gagliano discovers that plants are aware and behave in ways we never imagined. Plants are capable of memory, stimulus response, learning exper...
The Universe comes to know itself through our being. “I think the unification of physics and the unification of science and spirituality may both be possible.” Consciousness informs the body/mind complex. The physical and non-physical which exist within the same frame...
Free will is a choice, a direction of conscious decision. “Consciousness has to be from the beginning. It has the exact same properties of experiences, the privacy and the indefiniteness are the exact same properties of the pure quantum state [system].” With an infini...
