Thank you for this great intro to DS! The need for humanity to harness latent powers to survive this era is why I like to say "be the Jedi you want to see in the world" (adding a Star Wars twist to Gandhi's quote). But I find that those still trapped in orthodox scientism tend to mock and abuse me for "believing" in UFOs, powers of mind and such.

Although I have plenty of reasons and logical arguments to consider my views to be evidence-based, there is no way I've been able to find so far to impart this info to the orthodox scientism crowd because of their filters and biases.

Thus, I have decided, given the reality of the intellectual climate we're in, to accept their assertion that my views are "mere beliefs" and call my views a religion: Conspirituality by name. I seek protection from abuse and mockery by calling that bullying what it is-- mere bigotry and small-mindedness. I seek the company of like-minded others so we can, among other things, work out how to transcend Homo Economicus and the lemming imperative.

I appreciate your call to transcend conventional science all the more because of your background in the hard sciences. This is how real science progresses.

This is the most inspiring interviews I've ever watched, about one hour. Cosmogenesis as described by Dr. Brian Thomas Swimme:

His words on reductionist materialist world view are spot on, imo.

Rupert Sheldrake and many others, such as the late Terrence McKenna have said much on this as well.
