Living in Non-Local Consciousness
4-weeks (last 4) | Available (Membership Required)
Why is it that we have experiences like thinking of a person and suddenly the person calls us, or letting the mind go quiet and suddenly remembering where we left the car keys, or even having glimpses of past lives or future events? Because we live in non-local consciousness: the primal, universal energy Einstein called "the unified field". Though this energy connects everything and everyone, enfolding time and space, we are often too distracted to notice. We will examine this phenomenon through the portals of physics, the human mind, Earth's ecosystem, the social compact, and spiritual teachings.
