Connections between consciousness and reality have taken center stage due to similarities between Eastern spiritual practice and counter-intuitive scientific discoveries that challenge everyday views of the world.
San Fransisco, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2010
A new paradigm is emerging in spirituality that goes beyond religion, beyond faith, beyond gurus. It is an approach that is grounded in cutting-edge science, using the latest findings from quantum physics and neuroscience to support an analysis of our sense of separateness in the world.
This science-based approach to spirituality adds a twist to the ancient teachings of mystics, particularly those of the Advaita Vedanta tradition, who for centuries have identified our sense of a separate “I” as the main source of human suffering.
What the latest scientific discoveries now reveal is what mystics have been saying for centuries, namely that the “I” is merely a construction of consciousness. Our sense of separateness, which causes so much suffering, can give way to a new understanding of ourselves and our perceptions. This understanding of the nondual nature of reality is supported both by cutting-edge science and by ancient spiritual wisdom.
As renowned quantum physicist Stuart Hameroff says, “Connections between consciousness and reality have taken center stage due to similarities between Eastern spiritual practice and counter-intuitive scientific discoveries that challenge everyday views of the world.”
Neti Neti Media, a leader in the worldwide nonduality movement, has announced the lineup for the second annual Science and Nonduality Conference, where preeminent scientists, philosophers, and mystics will converge for five days of stimulating exchange. Last year, people gathered from all over the world to listen to such luminaries as Stephen Wolinsky, Henry Stapp, Daniel Pinchbeck, Marilyn Schlitz, Peter Russell, and Amit Goswami.
This year’s lineup includes CSO at Advanced Cell Technology, Robert Lanza, spiritual leader and teacher of nonduality, Adyashanti, Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, Stuart Hameroff, author Jeff Foster, physicist Nassim Haramein, founder of the Diamond Approach, A. H. Almaas, plus many, many more.

In addition to talks from prominent scientists and leaders in the nonduality movement, selected presenters will offer interactive workshops that give conference participants more opportunity to engage with the speakers.

With both live and DJ’ed music, movie screenings, and poetry readings in the evenings, this year’s conference promises to be a stimulating, illuminating, and fun experience.
