  1. I am delighted to share my latest conversation with the ever-thoughtful Emmy Vadnais.

    We explore whether consciousness may be fundamental to reality, the relationship between science and the perennial wisdom tradition, intuition, artificial intelligence, and the importance of self-knowledge in the search for truth.

    As always, it was a pleasure to speak with Emmy. #NewThinkingAllowed

  3. My sincere thanks to Christy Busby for a thoughtful and engaging conversation on F.A.T.E. – From Atheism to Enlightenment.

    We explored whether consciousness is fundamental to reality, the relationship between science and spirituality, and what the world's wisdom traditions still have to teach us.

  9. The heart—not the brain—is the true seat of intelligence.

    A beautiful preview clip from the upcoming Podmasana conversation with Dr. Edi Bilimoria, exploring consciousness, perennial philosophy, and mind beyond the brain.

    Full episode releases 27 May.

    Thank you Brendon Orr and @podmasana for such a thoughtful conversation.

  10. A long overdue lunch and thoughtful conversation yesterday with Taposhri Ganguli and Amit ahead of their summer wedding ❤️

    One of the enduring joys of exploring questions of consciousness, philosophy, science, and perennial wisdom is the dialogue and friendship such inquiry continues to foster across generations and cultures.

    Books and podcasts are, in many ways, simply extensions of these ongoing conversations.

  11. For many years I have spoken of consciousness not as something trapped inside the brain, but as something vast, living and deeply interconnected with the whole of life itself.

    Perhaps that is why images like this feel quietly symbolic to me… the eternal human longing to rise, to see further, to widen perspective.

    My deepest gratitude to everyone supporting “Consciousness Came First.” 🙏

  13. Dr Pablo Sender reflects on "Consciousness Came First":

    “A compelling synthesis of perennial wisdom and modern scientific inquiry… a visionary blueprint for a new science.”

    It is most encouraging to see the work beginning to find resonance 🙏

  15. It was a pleasure to join Jonathan Brown for the Shepheard-Walwyn podcast in conversation on my latest book, "Consciousness Came First".

    We explore whether consciousness is a product of the brain, or its underlying ground.

    For those drawn to the deeper nature of mind:

  17. A quotation from C W Leadbeater

    Sometimes people grieve when they find old age coming upon them, when they find their vehicles not so strong as they used to be. They desire the strength and the faculties that they once had. It is wise for them to repress that desire, to realize that their bodies have done good work, and if they can no longer do the same amount as of yore, they should do gently and peacefully what they can, but not worry themselves over the change. Presently they will have new bodies; and the way to ensure a good vehicle is to make such use as one can of the old one, but in any case to be serene and calm and unruffled. The only way to do that is to forget self, to let all selfish desires cease, and to turn the thought outward to the helping of others as far as one’s capabilities go.

    C. W. Leadbeater (1846-1934) English clergyman, theosophist, author [Charles Webster Leadbeater]
    The Masters and the Path, ch. 14 (1925)

  19. What is meant by the simple injunction, “Know Thyself”?

    Does it refer only to the body… or to something far deeper that expresses through it?

    "Consciousness Came First" explores the unfolding of consciousness as the primary principle of existence, and its expression through both the subtle and the material.

    A contribution to the perennial philosophy in dialogue with modern science.

    Publishing 28 April with Collective Ink Books.

    If so, the implications for science are profound.

    Satanists are spiritual, but that does not mean being #spiritual is satanic. It's like being human.... All theosophists are human, but because you are human does not make you a theosophist. Do not be deceived into thinking #theosophy is evil. The word is misused. If they are using witchcraft, call them witches. If they are summoning devils to curse people, call them satanists.

    The word Theo-Sophy means "God-Wisdom", and is not evil.

    What's strange too is how many of those are also tied in to #Theosophy. Even the strange as fuck #Qanon lizard people is straight from the #Lemuria race in Theosophy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy

    Its a deep rabbit hole, but so much of the strange beliefs and #conspiracy is basically a copy-paste job.

    Theres a new updated system, called Law of One. Its basically a 99% repackaged Theosophy from the 1970-1980's.

  29. Science, spirituality and art mixed in the work of many thinkers at the turn of the 20th century. A lot of the science didn't hold up, but there were glimmers of insight that hugely influenced the development of abstract art 🐡 #theosophy

    "Did you ever hear about the Kimshurkas?"

    He shook his head.

    "Of course you haven't—otherwise, you wouldn't be here. The Kimshurkas, as I have found out, were the last remnants of the Hyperborean root race, at the dawn of the Lemurian age. I have proof that their descendants—resulting from intercourse with early dinosaurs—still exist on the floor of the Laccadive Sea. They are guarding a treasure: certain manganese modules so rich in rare earth elements that the global energy crisis could be solved within, say, five years. But the big oil companies, assisted by the Aramaic dentists' conspiracy, have hidden the secret for centuries. They don’t want us to make contact. Of course they don’t. I’d do the same if I profited from all this misery. So, to keep it short: I need to buy a submarine. To dive down, take some photos, and gather more evidence of the Kimshurkas—just enough to convince the public. A small submarine would do, manned by one or two people. A used one. Unarmed, of course. Maybe for two and a half million..."

    The bank clerk shook his head again.

    "I see. You don't want me to find out what's going on down there. So tell me—how much are they paying you? Are you getting money from Exxon, or just free dental care for you and your family? No, you don’t need to call security. I’ll find my way out. And don’t try to stop me. I’ve written it all down—it’s being sent to every… Hey, let me—"

  37. When certain people find out I'm Buddhist, they sometimes I think I'm into New Age stuff. I blame Theosophy. But nothing could be further than the truth. The New Age movement is just repackaged prosperity gospel and eugenics. That's my hot take for today.
