Conversations Beyond Science and Religion - Philip Comella

Beyond science and religion, there is more to the story of life and the cosmos. We’ll tackle the big questions of why we are here and where the world may be heading. From theologians and scientists to those in the school of New Thought, we’ll address the individual circumstances that led to the formation of their theories and views. Challenging common beliefs and scientific findings, host Philip Mereton talks with experts and authors to find a new worldview of hope.

    Sacred Psychiatry

    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

    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 WebTalkRadio.net.

    Transcendental Judaism

    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 WebTalkRadio.net.

    Breaking Through the Limits of the Brain with Joseph Selbie

    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 Brain with Joseph Selbie appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

    Amit Goswani and the Future of the Consciousness-First Movement

    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 Consciousness-First Movement appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

    Radical Religion

    The Reality of Miracles

    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 […] The post The Reality of Miracles appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

    Beyond a Materialist Worldview
