ONLY CONSCIOUSNESS: Reality, Energy, and Manifestation

A cordial invite to the second segment of a miniseries of meetups on the resurging interest in the Perennial Mystery of Consciousness.

Last December we held the first of the series: The Holy Grail of Consciousness Embedded AI focusing on two opposing understandings of Consciousness.

The prevailing concept among many scientists that bursts of electrical activity creates consciousness. And that it is conceivable, indeed possible, to harness this burst of electrical activity in silicon chips giving rise to consciousness in AI.

This differs from the Perennial understandings reached by thinkers of the East who investigated states of Mind beyond dreamless deep sleep and made empirical observations of human and non-human entities over millennia. To them, Pure Consciousness as Ultimate Reality cannot be expressed by speech or understood by the Mind, for it is the illumination of Pure Consciousness which enables the speech to be expressed and the Mind to understand in the first place.

In this and follow up sessions of the series we will be joined by Dr. Afsaneh Khorasani, Afsaneh Personal website-| Home, an eminent research scientist. Among other initiatives Dr. Afsaneh has been involved with the Princeton University linked Global Consciousness Project led by Roger Nelson to which our Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) has been providing logistical home base over the years.

Dr. Afsaneh will lead us into a deep yet practical journey into the nature of reality, consciousness, and energy, bridging modern physics, ancient wisdom, and lived experience. Together, we will look at consciousness as the ground of all experience, energy as the language of the universe, and manifestation as alignment rather than effort.

We’ll explore how thought, emotion, belief, frequency, and awareness shape our lives, our relationships, and our ability to create with clarity and presence. The session will be reflective, expansive, and grounded in real-life application, offering insights you can integrate into daily living.

In the months ahead, we will invite other panelists to share their perspective in a conversational setting with emphasis on audience interactions.

We look forward to sharing this space of inquiry, awareness, and connection with you.
