    Ethical Record The Proceedings of the South Place Ethical Society Vol. 117 No. 2 £1.50 February 2012 ON RUPERT SHELDRAKE’S ‘DOGMAS OF SCIENCE’ A Materialist’s Reactions to 10 alleged delusions scientists hold (see p 7) 1. Dogs are complex mechanisms, rather than living organisms. Fathoming an animal’s complex mechanisms can only enhance one’s appreciation of it as a living organism. 2. All matter is unconscious. Consciousness is an illusion. Not all matter is unconscious – physical brains generate consciousness (ie experience) which is a real, not an illusory, phenomenon. 3. The total amount of matter and energy is always the same. In 1948, respected physicists H.Bondi, F.Hoyle and T.Gold proposed a steady- state cosmology wherein new matter continually appeared – a genuine scientific theory because it was capable of falsification by evidence – it made predictions. 4. The laws of nature are fixed. If, say, the strength of gravity did fluctuate, physicists would naturally seek the ‘law’ that governed the fluctuations…… which law, if found, would not itself fluctuate. 5. Nature is purposeless; evolution has no goal. The shift from barren, Aristotelian teleology (eg as in Genesis) to the fecund, Darwinian mechanism of natural selection is justified by a wealth of evidence. 6. Inheritance is material…….carried in the DNA, RNA etc…… but not in Sheldrake’s ‘morphogenetic field’ which makes no predictions. 7. The image of a tree you see is inside your brain, not out there. Is your phantom limb ‘out there’as well? 8. Memories are stored in brains. Yes, unfortunately – would we could save them all in cyberspace! 9.

  • Diss Final Extra Copy2
    Copyright by Jason Edward Roberts 2017 The Dissertation Committee for Jason Edward Roberts Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: TRANSFORMATIONS OF "PURITY" IN CHRISTIAN DISCOURSES OF DEMON COMPULSION THROUGH THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY Committee: Katherine Arens, Supervisor Sandra Straubhaar, Co-Supervisor Ernest Kaulbach Brian Levack Azfar Moin Peter Hess TRANSFORMATIONS OF "PURITY" IN CHRISTIAN DISCOURSES OF DEMON COMPULSION THROUGH THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY by Jason Edward Roberts Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2017 Dedication For my husband, Andy, who now knows more about this subject matter than any oboist should ever be expected to. Acknowledgements Not only the completion of the present dissertation, but also the years of education and preparation that led up to it, were possible only with the help and support of many special people. Neither my interest in the combination of theory and theology nor the intellectual tools necessary to research it developed ex nihilo. Rather, they were shaped through myriad experiences - some more professional, some more personal, some more pleasant, some less so. As such, a proper acknowledgement of everyone who has either directly or indirectly influenced this dissertation would rival the project itself in page length. Thus, the litany of names here, while certainly "efficacious," is far from complete: my advisor, Katherine Arens; my professors, Ernest Kaulbach, Sandra Straubhaar, and Peter Hess; as well as Azfar Moin and Brian Levack.

  • The Sense of Being Stared at Part 1: Is It Real Or Illusory?
    Rupert Sheldrake The Sense of Being Stared At Part 1: Is it Real or Illusory? I: The Sense of Being Stared At in People and Other Animals Most people have had the experience of turning round feeling that someone is looking at them from behind, and finding that this is the case. Most people have also had the converse experience. They can sometimes make people turn around by staring at them. In surveys in Europe and North America, between 70% and 97% of the people questioned said they had had personal experiences of these kinds (Braud et al., 1990; Sheldrake, 1994; Cottrell et al., 1996). The sense of being stared at is often alluded to in fiction, as in stories or novels by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Anatole France, Victor Hugo, Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence, John Cowper Powys, Thomas Mann, J.B. Priestley and many other writers (Poortman, 1959). Here is an example from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes: The man interests me as a psychological study. At breakfast this morning I suddenly had that vague feeling of uneasiness which overcomes some people when closely stared at, and, quickly looking up, I met his eyes bent upon me with an intensity which amounted to ferocity, though their expression instantly softened as he made some conventional remark upon the weather (Conan Doyle, 1884). In questionnaire surveys about the details of these experiences I carried in Brit- ain, Sweden and the United States, more women (81%) than men (74%) said they had felt they were being stared at. This experience occurred most commonly with strangers in public places, such as streets and bars.

  • Journal of Scientific Exploration FEG Report 2010
    Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 28, No. 1, pp. 63–111, 2014 0892-3310/14 RESEARCH ARTICLE Investigations of the Felix Experimental Group: 2010–2013 STEPHEN E. BRAUDE Submitted 12/3/2013, Accepted 2/3/2014, Pre-published 3/20/2014 Abstract—This paper chronicles my introduction to and subsequent inves- tigation of the Felix Experimental Group (FEG) and its exhibitions of classi- cal physical mediumship. It’s been nearly a century since investigators have had the opportunity to carefully study standard spiritistic phenomena, in- cluding the extruding of ectoplasm, and the FEG is the only current physi- cal mediumistic circle permitting any serious controls. The paper details the progressively stringent controls applied to the production of phenomena, culminating in some well-controlled experiments with video documenta- tion in a secure and private location belonging to one of the investigators. Introduction I first learned about the Felix Experimental Group (FEG) and its medium, Kai Mügge, early in 2008, from Jochen Söderling (pseudonym), the cardiologist who eventually became its circle leader. Presumably because of Jochen, and also my reputation (such as it was) as a reasonably knowledgeable proponent of the best macro-PK cases, I soon thereafter found myself included among the email recipients of FEG updates. But as far as I can now reconstruct, my first direct contact with Kai occurred in the Fall of 2009, when we arranged for the first of a series of get-acquainted Skype video calls. By that time I had already been planning with my friend and colleague Peter Mulacz to apply for funding to visit the FEG, and our email discussions had begun with Jochen to make that visit happen.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Art, science and technology in an expanded field Abstract The author suggests that new concepts in twentieth-century science not only provides commonalitites between the arts, sciences and humanities, they also point to the emergence of a new philosophy of nature with some promising political, sociological and technological implication. These developments demand a throught-going ethical practice and a fundamental reformulation of accepted notions of creativity, consciousness and natural and social organization. Outlining key concepts and discoveries in twentieth-century science and philosophy, the author draws attention to the existence of a strong organismic or process tradition in Western culture that is re-emerging in various fields of the physical, biological and social sciences. The author asserts that such a change in science and technology will have global ramifications for humands and that it is the amplification of these insightso t which artists should turn their attention.

Limar Abstract One of the most prospective directions of study of C.G. Jung’s synchronicity phenomenon is reviewed considering the latest achievements of modern science. The attention is focused mainly on the quantum entanglement and related phenomena – quantum coherence and quantum superposition. It is shown that the quantum non-locality capable of solving the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox represents one of the most adequate physical mechanisms in terms of conformity with the Jung’s synchronicity hypothesis. An attempt is made on psychophysiological substantiation of synchronicity within the context of molecular biology.
