The Playground of Consciousness
Part 1: Experiments and Experience
by Jeffrey Sax
April 24th, 2001
In this first article in the series, we will discuss various experiments from
quantum physics and psychic research. We will discover many clues about what
lies beyond. We will touch on the nature of time, probabilities and
many-worlds.
For the last 300 years, experiments in the physical world have been the main
method for learning about the nature of reality. This method has led to great
successes: we now have theories that describe nature very accurately indeed. In
this class, we will take a look at some physics experiments that give us
important clues about the structure of reality.
To understand the entire Kosmos, including our thoughts, emotions, and
everything that is thinkable or 'conceivably conceivable', we need to take a
look at the consciousness side as well. We will look at investigations into the
nature of interactions between consciousness and machines, and also at the
nature of perception.
In the third and final part of this section, we will look at the experience of
consciousness from 'within.' We will have a brief look at what mystics and
thinkers throughout the ages have shared about their personal experience with
consciousness.
