  • What Would It Look Like?

    What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions?

    Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization?

    This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.

  • East Meets West

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin describes the relationship between mind and body as seen through both Eastern and Western sciences. If East meets West, could science verify our deep union with the universe that mystics have been talking about for thousands of years?

  • A Tribe the Size of the Entire World

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin suggests that civilization is going through a developmental stage. Describing the world as made up of adolescent-like tribes, he says that it may take some great threat to force these tribes to work together.

  • Are You Nothing but a Pack of Neurons?

    According to laboratory scientist Dean Radin, research suggests that our moral sense is deeply tied to our worldview. If you saw yourself as nothing but matter, how would that affect the way you live right now?

  • The Convergence of Science and “Spirituality”

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin explains how science tends to give rise to a fractured system of disciplines, while spirituality serves to connect. He suggests that systems science may be the best example we currently have of how science can begin to embrace something as vaguely defined as connectivity and still remain science.

  • The Philosophy of Science

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin explains that because scientific study involves getting into details, scientists have difficulty maintaining a wider perspective in the laboratory. Because scientists aren't typically trained in the philosophy or history of science, Dean says they don't usually think on a daily basis about how the particular thing they're studying fits into the larger context of our evolution, though such a view would be helpful, he says.

  • Dealing with a Global Crisis

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin describes how children growing up in this time of global environmental crisis may, out of necessity, behave in a radically different way and make a significant difference.

  • An Electronic Membrane

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin discusses the possibility of a global mind and questions whether that global mind could wake up? Radin poses that, with the Internet, we may be approaching a physical system interconnected enough and recursive enough to be the "brain" of a global self-awareness.

  • Necessity is a Mother

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin believes that humankind will be able to change its behavior rapidly enough to avoid its total destruction, because necessity will drive us to do it. And he suggests that something like a global mind could be pulling us or forcing us to make the changes needed.

  • The Global Consciousness Project

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin describes an experiment testing the relationship between mind and matter. In this experiment, random number generators are used to test whether collective human attention corresponds to a change in the physical environment.

  • A Quantum View of the World

    Laboratory scientist Dean Radin suggests that civilization is going through a developmental stage. Describing the world as made up of adolescent-like tribes, he says that it may take some great threat to force these tribes to work together.
