Featured Interview: Dr. Susan Blackmore explores her journey from a
disillusioned parapsychology researcher to an author on human consciousness,
and her conclusions: "We live in a pointless universe. We're here for no
reason at all. There isn't a soul. There isn't a spirit. We're not going to
live forever in some kind of heaven, or something like that. And, I think
there are no paranormal phenomena, although I can't be sure of that. Yet, we
have extraordinary experiences."
Of all the things the mind can perceive that enable us to decide what is and what isnt. If it isnt, isnt it real? What is reality, how do we understand it? What is consciousness? the ability to be aware. This is an effort to collate some information I have stumbled upon in my amazing voyage of discovery. This is a blog about the Vedas and the String theory, the observer and the observed, the phenomenon and perception, about the masters and their teachings.
