Fred Alan Wolf: The Dreaming Universe (excerpt) — A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the two-part, 60-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Physicist Fred Wolf speculates on the nature of human consciousness, its relationship to the brain and to the world of dreaming. In this highly entertaining program, he presents evidence suggesting that the world of dreams is ontologically real, discussing the “dreamtime” of the Australian aborigines, evidence for dream telepathy and the different levels of lucid dreaming. Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., received the American Book Award in science for Taking the Quantum Leap. He is also author of The Eagle’s Quest, The Dreaming Universe and The Spiritual Universe.
Saul Paul Sirag: Exploring Hyperspace (excerpt) — A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the two-part, 60-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Saul-Paul Sirag reviews the history of our understanding of higher dimensions, from early ideas of the “fourth dimension” to the early 20th century dimensional theory that proved to be successful in unifying electromagnetism and gravity. This search for unification has lead to continued exploration of higher dimensional space. Saul-Paul Sirag is a theoretical physicist who has developed a model utilizing hyperspace to unify Einstein’s theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics.

Fred Alan Wolf: Shamanic Physics (excerpt) — A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the full 90-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Shamans see the world as made up of vibrations, using resonance between individuals to effect healings. In part one of this two-part series, Fred Alan Wolf discusses his efforts to explain shamanic realities in terms of modern physics. He suggests that shamans interact with parallel universes and are able to enter into the world of the dead. In part two of the DVD, Wolf describes in greater length his interactions with shamans among the North American Sioux Indians, in the jungles of Peru and in England. He confesses that he observed many things among the shamans that were unexplainable to him in terms of modern physics, noting that the shamans he worked with were loving healers who touched him in a deep and nurturing manner. Fred Alan Wolf is a physicist and author of Space Time and Beyond, Taking the Quantum Leap, The Body Quantum, Star*Wave, Parallel Universes and The Eagle’s Quest.

Fred Alan Wolf: The Spiritual Universe (excerpt) — A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the two-part, 60-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Fred Wolf presents an enlightening survey of the human notion of the Soul from ancient wisdom to modern physics, including the view that there is but on Soul in the universe–the universal consciousness of which we all partake. Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., received the American Book Award in science for Taking the Quantum Leap. He is also author of The Eagle’s Quest, The Dreaming Universe and The Spiritual Universe.
Jack Sarfatti: Physics & the Paranormal (excerpt) — A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the two-part, 60-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Jack Sarfatti presents his model for “post-quantum physics” in which he postulates that consciousness exists at a level outside of time and space, beyond that of quantum mechanical probability waves. He suggests that this scientific model may eventually allow us to build conscious computer chips. In Part II, Jack explains how he views consciousness, both human and non-human, as a physical but non-material process that interacts with the material world through synchronicity. Jack Sarfatti, PhD, is President of the Internet Science Education Project. He is co-author of Space, Time and Beyond.

World Science Festival 2008: Invisible Reality (Excerpt)
Proposed a century ago to better explain the mind-bending behavior of the smallest constituents of the universe, quantum theory has implications far beyond the atom. This rich set of laws has applications both practical and extraordinary — from the technology that has revolutionized modern life to the possibility of parallel worlds. Our audience joined Alan Alda as he accompanied Brian Greene, Nobel Laureate William Phillips and other leading thinkers at the vanguard of quantum research on an accessible multimedia exploration of the astounding weirdness of the quantum world.

Nick Herbert: Consciousness and Quantum Reality (excerpt) – Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from a 30-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com The mysteries of sub-atomic physics offer us startling new perspectives on the human mind. Physicist Nick Herbert, Ph.D., author of Quantum Reality, points out that no matter how one interprets the equations of quantum physics the results lead to amazing and paradoxical concepts. Perhaps that time runs backwards as well as forward. Perhaps multiple independent universes are created each second.

Amit Goswami: Quantum Creativity (excerpt) — A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the two-part, 60-minute DVD. www.thinkingallowed.com Just as quantum mechanics has been a powerful theory unifying our understanding of physics, it can also serve as a unifying theory in the field of creativity. Dr. Amit Goswami maintains that the discontinuities observed in quantum physics allow for the creative leaps that are at the heart of all fundamental innovations. He describes the “quantum self” as that aspect of our being that is capable of direct sensitivity to the creativity of the universe. Amit Goswami, professor of physics at the University of Oregon, is author of The Cosmic Dancers, The Self-Aware Universe and Quantum Creativity.
