In this discussion, filmmaker Paul Howard delves into the Profound Interconnectedness of the Universe and the connection between science and spirituality through the life and ideas of David Bohm, a pioneering quantum physicist. Paul recounts his serendipitous introduction to Bohm's work and how his philosophy bridges the gap between the physical sciences and deeper spiritual insights.

The discussion highlights Bohm's concept of the Implicate Order, the unfolding nature of reality, and the influence of quantum physics on our understanding of consciousness and existence.

This profound conversation brings science, philosophy, and spirituality together to offer new ways of understanding reality.

In this episode, Swami Sarvapriyananda, neuroscientist Prof. Marjorie Woollacott, and cognitive scientist Prof. John Verveke explore the nature of consciousness. Moderated by Scott Snibbe, the discussion explores the fundamental questions surrounding consciousness: What is it? What does it do?

Swami Sarvapriyananda offers insights from Advaita Vedanta, suggesting consciousness is a fundamental reality that illuminates our experiences. Prof. Woollacott describes it as a vast, limitless awareness responsible for the universe's essence, while Prof. Vervaeke addresses the integration of consciousness and function, highlighting its role in salience landscaping in complex situations. The speakers provide diverse perspectives from science, philosophy, and spirituality, offering viewers a comprehensive understanding of this age-old mystery.

"I think as this infinite consciousness is the essence and the foundation of the universe. I believe it is responsible for bringing this manifest universe into existence through its own infinite freedom and creativity."
—Prof. Marjorie Woollacott

"I instead would argue that there's a way of answering the two of these together. And the way to do that is to first see from a cognitive science perspective why the two questions are challenging, why they're problematic, why consciousness is the Holy Grail of cognitive science."
—Prof. John Vervaeke
