**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](https://www.meetup.com/ions-ontario/events/312293729/?eventOrigin=group_similar_events)**[ ](https://www.meetup.com/ions-ontario/events/312293729/?eventOrigin=group_similar_events)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](https://www.bing.com/search?q=Afsaneh+Khorasani&form=ANNTH1&refig=6986d3bc1bc5479f87ccec054ccb89ed&pc=PCMWSB&adppc=EDGEXST)**[,](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=7cbb65b29886dd437938c7314526aebd9058fe4d4749dbdf2731d36796825912JmltdHM9MTc3MDMzNjAwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=229627c8-30c9-6f1e-2861-3229310c6ef5&psq=Afsaneh+Khorasani&u=a1aHR0cDovL2Fmc2FuZWhtb3RhbWVkLmNvbS9lbi9pbmRleC5odG0) an eminent research scientist. Among **[other initiatives](https://www.easyglobaltraining.com/)** Dr. Afsaneh has been involved with the Princeton University linked **[Global Consciousness Project](https://noosphere.princeton.edu/)** led by Roger Nelson to which our **[Institute of Noetic Sciences](https://noetic.org/)** (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.

Join Lawrence, your top hatted host, for an afternoon of craft beer and local food at Harbord House, followed by a visit to my favourite fiction book store, Bakka, then the Ukrainian Museum, and then Lillian H. Smith library to see their exhibit on Winnie the Pooh. We will meet-up at the Harbord House for some lunch and craft beer. I like this airy restaurant, with its big windows while I dine on their delicious fig, pear and goat cheese salad. https://harbordhouse.ca/ 124 Harbord St, Toronto, ON M5S 1G8 At 1 pmish, we will walk to Bakka Books, my favourite Sci-fi and Fantasy book store, where those who work there offer reviews of some of the works presented. This is how I found such cherished Canadian authors, such as Charles de Lint and Robert J. Sawyer. Perhaps, you too, will discover something here. https://www.bakkaphoenixbooks.com/ 84 Harbord St, Toronto, ON M5S 1G5 At 1:30 pmish, we will head south on Spadina to the Ukrainian Museum to see two exhibits, the Kosiv Bazaar and a display of traditional textiles. https://www.umcontario.com/ 620 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON M5S 2H4 After visiting here, we will take a selfie with the prominent statue of Volodymyr the Great Monument. Our last stop will take us past the impressive Daniels Building, a significant neo-Gothic landmark beautifully integrated with modern sustainable architecture. As we approach the Lilian H. Smith library, we will be greeted by two guardians. Then we will take the lift upstairs to Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books to see Winnie the Pooh at 100. You can take photos, though no flash. https://tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/events/6928c74394cbff62002873a4 239 College St 4th floor, Toronto, ON M5T 1R5 Afterwards, we can see the Merril Collection of Science Fiction, Speculation & Fantasy which is showcasing early pulp magazines.
