This event is brought to you by the Free Thinker Institute (FTI), a not-for-profit looking to support and empower personal development for its members. The FTI focuses on transformational development for anyone interested, both personally and professionally, organizing a free event every Tuesday to discuss ways to transform wisdom into practical applications that benefit our lives, covering topics widely ranging from professional subjects to spiritual ones.
Format:
Panel Discussion accepting questions and comments from the viewers/ participants
What we’ll talk about:
Consciousness is a topic that has eluded a clear understanding of even our vast amounts of scientific knowledge of the current time. This panel of educators and innovators will talk about consciousness from a variety of perspectives, and we welcome your questions and comments with your perspectives as well. Some questions the panel will share their perspectives on will likely include:
How do you define consciousness?
What is the source / root cause of consciousness?
How does consciousness operate / function?
Can technology help (or hurt) us in experiencing consciousness?
Join us for what promises to be an exciting discussion on what’s known and what we hypothesize may become accepted with time about consciousness.
Panelists:
Garrett Lang, Dr. Krishnesh Mehta, Herb Klitzner & Himanshu Bharadwaj.
