Join us as international renowned speaker Peter Russell talks about passages from his book From Science to God.
He writes:
As far as science is concerned, consciousness is still one big anomaly.
That we are conscious is the most obvious fact of life. Yet as far as
Western science is concerned, there is nothing more difficult to explain.
Paradoxically, science would be much happier if there were no such
thing as consciousness; yet without consciousness there would be no
science.
An alternative avenue of exploration is that taken by various spiritual
seekers over the ages— delving into the nature of consciousness itself.
Through meditation and similar practices they have stepped beyond
the thinking mind, to find their true nature— the “I am” at the heart of
every experience. They repeatedly affirm that the qualities we most
long for—peace, love, freedom, fulfillment—lie at the core of our being,
not in the material world that Western culture has been so focused on.
