In this edition of the Enlightened Times Podcast, I am delighted to host Andrew Johnson's presentation, Expanding Consciousness, Enlarging Reality, which he gave at Truth-Juice Birmingham, UK on 7th November 2023. Part One:
Part Two:
Description about the presentation:
In this presentation, we will try to consider the
nature of consciousness and its fundamental importance. We will consider
evidence that our consciousness does not always reside in the physical body –
considering the testimony of people who have had near-death experiences. What
is the meaning of these experiences? Can an understanding or knowledge of them
“expand our reality”?
We will look at some cases of the “idiot savant”
syndrome – “the foolish wise ones” – who are able to automatically perform
great mental feats.
Looking at the research of people like Rick Strassman,
Graham Hancock, Anthony Peake and Dr Gary Schwartz. We will also consider
people’s other experiences of altered or expanded consciousness and how there
seems to be an effort, in organised western cultures to discourage or prevent
us from experiencing these altered states of consciousness.
We will also consider how the study of “alternative
knowledge” about lost civilisations, aliens and ETs, 9/11 and so on seems to be
part and parcel of expanding our consciousness.
Thanks for watching. Please consider following my blog!
