Sacred Psychiatry

May 27, 2024 • 51 mins
Conventional medical science treats the body — including the mind — as a machine.  If parts of the machine fail or become diseased, the standard approach is to treat the malady with chemicals, operate on damaged parts, or destroy unwanted cells with intense radiation.  At times, in the instance of acute trauma, stabilization of bodily […] The post Sacred Psychiatry appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Life in a Finely Tuned Universe with Luke Barnes

November 21, 2023 • 51 mins
We are all familiar with the concept of tuning, particularly in regard to musical instruments. We know that to "stay in tune" means to play with the right pitch and to harmonize with other instruments. Even the untutored ear knows when a piano is out-of-tune: something sounds out-of-balance and disjointed. Sounds that only roughly track […] The post Life in a Finely Tuned Universe with Luke Barnes appeared first on WebTalkRa...

Transcendental Judaism

October 12, 2023 • 55 mins
With the recent attack on Israel by Hamas and the horrors of war spread throughout the media, it might help to remember that Islam and Judaism pray to the same God. Judaism traditionally teaches that one connects with God through following the commandments, or the mitzvot.  In his new book, Transcendental Judaism: Enlivening the Eternal Within to […] The post Transcendental Judaism appeared first on WebTalkRad...

Breaking Through the Limits of the Brain with Joseph Selbie

September 26, 2023 • 51 mins
In our current mechanical worldview, we view the brain as a biochemical machine consisting of intricate particles known as neurons. As an engineer’s design and technology limit the function of a machine, so the DNA molecule limits the function of the brain. Simply put, machines do not have visions, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, spiritual awakenings, […] The post Breaking Through the Limits of the Bra...

Amit Goswani and the Future of the Consciousness-First Movement

September 12, 2023 • 54 mins
In his groundbreaking 1993 book, The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World, Amit Goswami used the findings of quantum theory to argue that consciousness creates what we perceive to be the material world.  This conclusion is in direct opposition to scientific materialism, which holds that consciousness — if it even exists — arises […] The post Amit Goswani and the Future of the Con...

Radical Religion

May 3, 2021 • 56 mins
In his new book, Radical Loving: One God, One World, One People, Rabbi Wayne Dosick, PhD, combines inspiration with revelation, adds a few words of wisdom, and then splices in a series of enlightening tales exemplifying the point at hand. 



He shines a light on the common ground to all religions, which are all rooted in one Source, and then compares the vision of religion to the deep problems of the cu...

The Reality of Miracles

February 8, 2021 • 57 mins
Throughout history, humans have always had extraordinary experiences we often called miracles—events that fill us with wonder and bafflement.  The problem is that under our current scientific worldview, miracles are not supposed to occur because they constitute a violation of the laws of nature. 



But suppose that what we call miracles actually reveal the true nature of the physical world, which is no...

Beyond a Materialist Worldview

October 5, 2020 • 40 mins

Reconnecting to the Source

January 13, 2020 • 64 mins
The Source with a capital S is a neutral, "new age" term referring to the ground of Being. But it has a richer meaning than the Big Bang of modern cosmology or Darwin's primordial swamp out of which life supposedly arose. This Source organizes life, gives it coherence, and injects it with meaning.   If all things came from the Source, then it would seem helpful if we "went home" and reconnected with it.  In fact, thi...

Michael Behe: Darwin Devolves

November 11, 2019 • 56 mins
Along with Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin is one of the two leading scientists in our modern era.  The topic of evolution dominates biology and has permeated our thinking far beyond Darwin's original conception of the subject.  To believe in evolution is tantamount to being considered a civilized human being.  But a major problem presents itself:  how many people actually understand what Darwin said or what nat...

Are Near Death Experiences Real?

October 21, 2019 • 66 mins
Perhaps no other-worldly phenomenon captures the mind more than near-death experiences.  We are all born with an innate hope that there is something beyond this physical world, and near-death experiences give us a glimpse that these hopes are real.  This show's guest P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D (http://pmhatwater.hypermart.net/)., had two near death experiences when young.  40 years and 18 books later, P.M.H. is one of the...

Bernardo Kastrup: Dreaming Reality

September 23, 2019 • 66 mins
The notion that we live in a hardened, physical material world, separated from mind, is ingrained into our consciousness.  It is a such a common thought that as some have said, to accept the independence of the material world is a test of sanity.  But it turns out that the question is not that straightforward after all.  And importantly, in our modern, free-thinking culture, the question is no longer off-limits. ...

The Physics of God

August 19, 2019 • 64 mins
Is science really a religion?  Is religion a science? Modern science itself is based upon a set of unquestioned beliefs, such as the origins of matter, life, and consciousness.  We take the scientific theories about the origins of these phenomena as true, whether we understand the explanations or not.  Meanwhile, religious experiences, such as near-death experiences, have a lot in common; similarly situated people se...

The Enigma of Crop Circles

August 5, 2019 • 56 mins
Crop circles are geometric, patterned formations mysteriously carved into farm fields.  In a way, they are farm-sized snowflakes.  They have been observed all around the world, but primarily in the United Kingdom.   To see a crop circle in person or in a color photograph (https://cropcircles.lucypringle.co.uk/) speaks a thousand words.  The natural inclination is to conclude they are fakes; an open-minded inquir...

John Dee, Scientist, and Medium of Angels

September 3, 2018 • 62 mins
Although today science and angels stand on opposite ends of the credibility spectrum, this was not always the case. In the 16th Century, Dr. John Dee, court advisor and astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, was considered the foremost scientific genius of his age. He helped lay the foundation for modern science and made pioneering advances in navigation and optics.

His theoretical work extended to the concept of light speed and h...

Imagining the World

June 25, 2018 • 61 mins
Each of us is free to interpret the physical world however we want.  At some point, experience and reason show one interpretation to be better than another.  (This may be called the scientific method.)  Then, that interpretation gains adherents, builds support, and dominates.  But few play the long game, or wait for the disfavored interpretation to work itself through modern culture.

Jeffrey Kripal: Author of the Impossible

May 2, 2018 • 51 mins
What if someone studied the paranormal not as fringe events or untrustworthy occurrences but instead as providing insight into the sacred?  What if someone dispensed with the notions of "real" and "unreal," "natural" and "supernatural," and instead viewed all human experiences as providing keys to understanding the world we inhabit?
