Cosmic Time and Synchronicity: The Mind's Connection to the Universe: Bernard Carr, EP 373

Bernard Carr has kept a synchronicity diary for 30 years, knowing that if he did not write them down, they would be forgotten. As a cosmologist he is very interested in time and describes his own experiences with precognition. He also describes how clocks stop sometimes when people die and other mind-matter interactions. The latter half of our discussion focuses on the anthropic principle, how our universe is fine tuned to create the potential for our existence. He suggests that it is our arrogance that makes us believe this is the only universe, that the multiverse is real. He suggests that we need much higher dimensions to understand our minds, that there is a greater Mind of which we are a part trying to get to know itself as each of us may be trying to get to know ourselves.
