Peace Education and Prevention

Peace education operates on a deceptively radical premise: that peace is not merely the absence of war but a set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that can be systematically taught and learned. While most educational systems prepare students for economic productivity and national...

The Holographic Principle and Consciousness: Reality as Projection

In 1997, Juan Maldacena at the Institute for Advanced Study published a paper that became the most cited in the history of theoretical physics. It demonstrated mathematically that a theory of gravity in a five-dimensional spacetime (anti-de Sitter space) is exactly equivalent to a quantum field...

The Divine Matrix: The Field That Connects Everything

In 1944, Max Planck stood before an audience in Florence, Italy, and said something that should have rewritten every textbook on Earth. The father of quantum theory -- the man whose work on black-body radiation cracked open the atomic age -- told the crowd: "All matter originates and exists only...

Zero Point Energy: The Quantum Vacuum Is Not Empty

Here is the most counterintuitive fact in all of physics: empty space is not empty. What we call "the vacuum" -- the void between atoms, the darkness between stars -- is the most energy-dense substance in the known universe.

David Bohm: The Quantum Physicist Who Found Wholeness Beneath the Fragments

David Joseph Bohm is widely regarded as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the twentieth century -- and one of the most tragic. A student of Robert Oppenheimer at Berkeley, a colleague of Einstein at Princeton, and a contributor to quantum mechanics whose work is cited in...

Robert Monroe and the Science of Out-of-Body Experience

In 1958, Robert Allan Monroe was a successful radio broadcasting executive in Charlottesville, Virginia, running a corporation that produced network radio programs syndicated across the United States. He lived the archetypal American post-war life -- business meetings, country club dinners, a...

Aboriginal Dreamtime as a Physics Model: Songlines, Information Fields, and 65,000 Years of Continuous Knowledge

In 1915, Albert Einstein published his field equations of general relativity, describing how matter curves spacetime and spacetime tells matter how to move. The geometry of the universe, Einstein showed, is not a fixed stage on which events play out but a dynamic, participatory fabric shaped by...

Vedic Cosmology and Modern Physics: How Ancient India Mapped the Architecture of Reality

In 1935, Erwin Schrodinger — the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who formulated the wave equation that describes quantum mechanical behavior — gave a lecture at the University of Cambridge in which he described his intellectual debt to Vedantic philosophy. "This life of yours which you are living...

Collective Consciousness and the Morphic Field

There is an idea that recurs across disciplines, across centuries, across cultures — stubbornly, irrepressibly, despite every attempt by materialist science to dismiss it. The idea is this: consciousness is not confined to individual skulls.

F. David Peat's Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind and the Implicate Order

F. David Peat (1938-2017) was a theoretical physicist, author, and intellectual polymath who spent the last three decades of his life building the conceptual bridge that Jung had sketched and Pauli had endorsed: the bridge between mind and matter, between physics and meaning, between the...

Synchronicity as Consciousness Technology: How to Train Your Awareness to Receive Non-Local Information

There is an assumption embedded so deeply in the modern Western mind that most people never think to question it: the assumption that meaningful information arrives only through recognized channels. You learn things by reading, by listening, by observing, by reasoning.
