Psychic phenomena have been meticulously documented in hundreds of controlled studies since the 1980s. Mainstream science publications resist acknowledging this but the quality and quantity of evidence is overwhelming. Dean Radin, who has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in Psychology, began discovering this decades ago and founded the Institute for Noetic Sciences. He recently joined forces with eminent scientist Stuart Kauffman to harmonize the observations with quantum theory. In this paper, the two scientists swing for the fences and attempt to unify consciousness, psychic phenomena, and quantum mechanics. https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.01538 Dean and I discuss the implications of this.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Eric Kuelker Ph.D. R.Psych. discusses reliable but little-known research linking cancer and heart disease to traumatic life events and stress.

Childhood Trauma Causes Cancer; Therapy and Relationships Heal

Rob Berkley left this earth in December 2019 as a result of cancer. 58. Rob was THE most empathic and warm-hearted individual in the entire marketing space (I’m not exaggerating). When you would sit down with him you would feel his warmth focusing on you like an infrared heat lamp. He was one of my most valuable business advisors. Being trained by him and Victor Cheng was like having Oprah and Stephen Hawking together in the same room.Stormy weather nearly prevented me from making his memorial at Martha’s Vineyard, but I managed to snag the boat ride and I’ll never forget the December 18 solstice sun streaming through the windows at his somber yet joyful gathering.The other thing I will never forget is meeting his wife Debbie for the first time, right there at his memorial service. I had heard much about her, and she had heard about me, but we had never crossed paths.I approached her in their kitchen and introduced myself. “Perry! I am so delighted to meet you!” She faced me squarely, looked deep into my eyes, and connected, human to human. I instantly felt the jolt of her conviction and aliveness. She wrapped her arms around me, embraced me, and welcomed me as though I were a friend of 25 years. Her energy was so palpable I was momentarily startled.It only makes sense that Rob would marry a woman like Debbie.Today I would like to share Rob’s last interview with you: a very candid conversation between Rob, Debbie, and their caregiver and collaborator Meredith, describing humility and courage in the face of a terminal diagnosis.

Mark Chenoweth is a theologian with a particular interest in St. Maximus the Confessor (700 AD) and St. Gregory of Nyssa (400 AD) who wrote about life on earth as a goal-directed process as opposed to a series of divine miracles. Their ideas were very much in line with the ancient Greeks who have been greatly under-estimated by modern thinkers. Here we hear Mark's story of being drawn into evolutionary science and what implications this has for modern people. Mark's paper is called "A Maximian Framework for Understanding Evolution".LINK: https://www.academia.edu/45035064/A_Maximian_Framework_for_Understanding_Evolution?email_work_card=view-paperMark's BioMark Chenoweth received his M.Div. and Th.M. from St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary and is an adjunct professor at St. John’s University in New York. His articles have been published in scholarly journals such as St. Vladimir’s Quarterly, and he is hoping to soon begin a dissertation on the theology of St. Maximus the Confessor.

Sam Devis is a former pastor who experienced a faith deconversion a couple of years ago similar to that of my brother, Bryan. After reading Evolution 2.0, Sam and I got together to discuss my journey from fundamentalism to where I am today. We cover many fascinating aspects from Darwinist Jerry Coyne's outrage to the nature of fundamentalist belief structures to evolution and entrepreneurship to questions about the cosmos and free will.

Sam Devis of When Belief Dies in Conversation

Einstein’s theory of relativity overturned Newtonian physics in the early 1900s. Nevertheless, “Newtonian” thinking has remained firmly entrenched inscience. Certainly, all scientists now agree that at the subatomic level and atnear light speed, quantum physics overtakes Newtonian physics. But thishas had very little effect on biology and has done nothing to overturn the“reductionist” view of science, which says that everything is merely the sumof its parts and all can be modeled by mathematics.Stuart Kauffman and computer scientist Andrea Roli have written a newpaper that proves evolving biology in principle cannot be reduced tocomputation. This is as devastating to materialistic science as Gödel’sIncompleteness Theorem was to mathematics. In fact, it is equivalent -because it shows that evolving organisms embody incompleteness.Induction, not a deduction. And induction cannot come from deduction;therefore biology is not strictly computational.Thus Kauffman and Roli have pulled the rug out from under ultra-traditionalviews of physics. (Not everyone is going to be happy about this.)

Today if you’re diagnosed with Stage 3 or Stage 4 cancer, your chances of surviving are no better than if you lived in 1930. But your chances are 100 times better when catch it early.What if you could catch cancer SUPER early - years before any obvious indication of a problem?And what if you could then solve the problem at its roots so it never recurs at all?Azra Raza is an oncologist at Colombia University and author of The First Cell: The Human Costs of Pursuing Cancer to the Last. Here she describes the First Cell Project. This is a collaboration with world class cancer researchers who have discovered how to identify “Giant Cells” that PREDATE and predict the generation of tumors YEARS in advance.You’ll be privy to the incredibly moving story of Andrew, her daughter’s best friend who died of brain cancer at age 24… and the systemic problems that continue to plague the cancer field and repeat the tragedy of Andrew.

How To Halt Cancer at “Stage NEGATIVE 1” - Azra Raza

This is a unique show in the Finding Genius series. Podcast founder and host Richard Jacobs cites Perry Marshall’s ideas as the impetus for starting the Finding Genius podcast.In this discussion, listeners can learn more about why and hear about the Cancer & Evolution Symposium Marshall has helped construct on cancer and evolutionary biology.He explains:What the basic ideas of his book Evolution 2.0 are, namely an argument for a new model for evolution that better fits organisms’ active adaptationsHow cancer is evolution gone wild and why better cancer treatment necessitates adopting this new conception of evolutionWhich topics and speakers appear in the Cancer and Evolution Symposium and a preview of several exciting findings they presented.Perry Marshall is an author and highly influential business consultant with an electrical engineering background. In this discussion, he connects the foundational ideas in Evolution 2.0 with cutting-edge cancer science. Marshall lost his father to cancer at age 17 and has followed the theories behind its treatment ever since. He reminds listeners that common cancer therapy treatment only works routinely with early-stage cancer.Alternatively, he says that when cancer reaches stages 3 and 4, survival chances are not that much better than they were in 1930. Therefore, there must be a lag in how we are addressing serious cancer diagnoses. This lag is connected with a traditional view of passive evolutionary theory rather than theories like that of Professor Henry Heng, who claims evolution is actively engineered by organisms themselves; in addition, they are able to pass those engineered traits to their offspring.Henry Heng was one of the speakers at the Cancer and Evolution Symposium along with Columbia University Medical Center’s Azra Raza and evolutionary theorist James Shapiro from the University of Chicago. Dr. Heng connects this theory of evolution and cancer, noting that treatments like chemo destroy about 98% of the cancer cells while the few remaining develop massive wholesale restructuring of their DNA and are then more equipped to spread and survive. Importantly, this restructuring is active rather than a random accident of mutations.Marshall explains these ideas in more detail and discusses other topics covered by the speakers. He describes the symposium as a world-class collection of cancer and evolutionary theorists coming together to address cancer evolution and disable the cancer treatment lag. The symposium took place October 14th through 16th, 2020.To learn more, see the symposium website: cancerevolution.org. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
