Scientific spirituality and psychedelics
Thursday 5 December 19:15 until 20:45
ÄûÃÊÊÓƵ Campus : Fulton Building (Fulton LT -B) Fulton Falmer BN1 9NZ
Speaker: Dr Adam Barrett - Deputy Director of the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science
Dr Barrett will talk about ‘panpsychism’ – consciousness being a fundamental property of all matter, and us all in some sense being part of one cosmic being; and ‘eternalism’ – past, present and future existing equally. He will consider where we’re at in understanding what is the fundamental physical substrate of consciousness – giving a nuanced and accessible perspective on the much-misunderstood integrated information theory – and will explain how eternalism comes about from Einstein’s theory of relativity. He will then discuss how a psychedelic experience can lead to these insights, and often with knock-on benefits for wellbeing.
