@bernardokastrup.bsky.social discussion yesterday on Idealism, Art & Creativity www.withrealityinmind.com/art-creativi...

Last week I invited artists from our weekly discussion group with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social if they would like to share examples of their work inspired by themes from our meetings, and I'm delighted to share the results here: www.withrealityinmind.com/art-from-our...

When starting the 'With Reality in Mind' membership group with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social, I expected mainly scientists & philosophers. To our surprise, many who joined are artists, writers, poets and musicians, inspired by idealism & all that it implies www.withrealityinmind.com/16th-sept-cr...

@bernardokastrup.bsky.social on The Western Path, the Cosmic Itch, and navigating the forces of nature. www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-on...

Today with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social we discuss how appearances may symbolise deeper truths, continuing the western spiritual tradition of engaging with reality rather than transcending it... www.withrealityinmind.com/the-western-...

Could poetry be a better way to see the world? To let the soul of things shine through them? Reflections from a dialogue yesterday with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-pa...

Zoom call with Bernardo Kastrup and Patrick Harpur in 2 hours time :) www.withrealityinmind.com/special-gues...

Some people say the more you meditate, the more ethical your behaviour will become. So how come abuse is so common? In this short clip Andrew Holecek recounts his personal perspective, based on several decades studying and teaching around the world: youtu.be/BSxkyh6nswk What do you all think?

@bernardokastrup.bsky.social considers Patrick amongst the top 3 authors worthy of far more exposure, so I'm excited to have them in dialogue this coming Tues to discuss Bernardo's new book, archetypes, daimons and the imagination: www.withrealityinmind.com/special-gues...

What can life teach us if we pay careful attention to it? I was inspired to hear @bernardokastrup.bsky.social's deeply personal response yesterday, drawing on the early loss of his father in Brazil and the unraveling of a career, marriage & identity www.withrealityinmind.com/life-the-ult...

Book launch tomorrow with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social - a personal journey with an inspiring conclusion "There is a Western path...it offers the potential for breakthroughs that will fill you with meaning and contentment to the point of bursting." www.withrealityinmind.com/the-daimon-t...

What links trauma and spiritual revelation? Could anomalous encounters be aspects of our own repressed nature? Q&A yesterday with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social and Jeffrey Kripal www.withrealityinmind.com/recori-the-s...

Jeffrey Kripal joins @bernardokastrup.bsky.social tomorrow to reflect on UAPs, high strangeness, and what these phenomena might reveal about the nature of reality.... www.withrealityinmind.com/uap-high-str...

"Why the Hindu will see Krishna and the Christian will see Christ" - @bernardokastrup.bsky.social on anomalous encounters: www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-we...

This month with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social we're taking questions on the paranormal, with the next two sessions dedicated to the UAP phenomena. The following page contains links to several free resources on the topic, including an essay from Bernardo. www.withrealityinmind.com/youtube-clip...

Studies of psychic phenomena are criticized for being unrepeatable, or of only small statistical significance. In response, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social highlights the inconsistency of this critique when compared with other scientific fields www.youtube.com/watch?v=AihU...

Perception almost certainly captures only a fraction of reality. What would science discover with different metaphysical assumptions? Discussion yesterday with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ex...

Science is neutral, but not scientists. In this clip, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social explains why the same statistical pattern that wins a Nobel Prize at CERN can be interpreted as random if found in psychic phenomena. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Z9...

Yesterday with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social and Christof Koch we discussed potential non-biological substrates for consciousness, how (psychedelic & mystical) experience inform science, and how metaphysics should not... www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ch...

Today, Q&A with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social Christof Koch, one of the most celebrated figures in consciousness science, renowned for spearheading the modern search for the neural correlates of consciousness, initiated with Francis Crick. www.withrealityinmind.com/christof-koc...

On Tuesday, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social explained the basic premise of IIT - that we should expect the physical correlates of consciousness to reflect the qualities of experience that we can all observe. youtu.be/Qj8EQ_C-iho

Tomorrow's session with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social , (22nd of July), will be a chance to better understand IIT and its implications, so that we can make the most out of the dialogue with Christof Koch the following week. I hope to see you there! www.withrealityinmind.com/integrated-i...

Yesterday with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social we discussed if AI could be a conduit for Mind at Large. Link includes excerpt www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ai...

We're online with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social in just over 2hrs, continuing the discussion on Agentic AI and the future of humanity. Though unconscious, could AI serve as a conduit for Mind at Large? www.withrealityinmind.com/ai-conduit-f...

Last night with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social we discussed his ambitions for the Agentic AI hardware company he founded, the differences between intelligence, creativity and consciousness, and why the responsibility for AI will remain with us... www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ro...

A reminder this is happening TODAY with Bernardo Kastrup Free to members of With Reality in Mind, and available as a one-off event to anyone curious at this link: dandelion.events/e/v1bkd Recording sent to everyone registered if you can't make it live.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Ruben Laukkonen about how advanced meditation can bring consciousness to a complete stop. We discuss implications for awakening & our understanding of reality: youtu.be/E6xhctwX970

"What AI does today, the average person on the street would not believe..." @bernardokastrup.bsky.social predicts that “the amplifying effect of AI on human creativity will be so discombobulating it WILL LOOK LIKE ANOTHER SPECIES ON THE PLANET. Discussion next Tues: dandelion.events/e/v1bkd

Science should remain metaphysically agnostic, but right now, a bias is corrupting results. Yesterday's conversation with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ca...

So grateful for the clarity I got when @bernardokastrup.bsky.social walked us through this evolution of idealist thought—from Berkeley to Kant to Schopenhauer—and how Analytic Idealism builds on that tradition. www.withrealityinmind.com/different-ki...

Transformation isn't always a fast moving spectator sport. But if idealism takes root, we can anticipate a re-think on education, culture and economics. You can read more and watch a discussion with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social here: www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ed...

Really enjoyed a chat this morning with Dr James Cooke about his abiding experience of nonduality - what its like, how it happened, and what's next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V05g...

If “we are all dissociated aspects of one consciousness,” then harming others is harming oneself, & political responsibility takes on a different hue: could idealism transform society? Discussion with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social this Tuesday: www.withrealityinmind.com/could-ideali...

Yesterday's discussion with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social on how suffering can give rise to morality and meaning, inspired by Jung's 'Answer to Job' www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-ju...

Under Analytic Idealism, the suffering experienced by living beings is suffering inflicted by Universal Consciousness onto itself. So, is this suffering intentional, or some horrific mistake? In this short excerpt Bernardo explores these potential implications. youtu.be/Tsc08yF05oc

Could meaning be healing? A deeper meaning to suffering may provide new means by which to alleviate it....

Yesterday with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social & @tolchinsky.bsky.social we discussed how 'disorder' has been pathologized when in fact, a healthy mind displays a functional degree of chaos. www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-th...

Idealism rejects a division between body & mind, offering a rationale approach for healing both. Compared to materialism, this may prove not only more compassionate, but more effective. Tomorrow with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social & @tolchinsky.bsky.social www.withrealityinmind.com/10th-june-th...
