The Consciousness Chronicles Volume 1
2-DVD-Set
Gesamtlaufzeit 255 Minuten
Derzeit ausschließlich in englischer Sprache verfügbar. Group 0 (playable worldwide)
Über die DVDs:
Teil 1 (mit 2 DVDs) der neuen DVD-Serie präsentiert quer durch die Wissenschaften einige der weltweit führenden Bewusstseins-Forscher. Teils mit experimentierfreudigen, teils mit philosophischen Denkansätzen zum Thema.
Was ist überhaupt Bewusstsein? Kann die Quantenphysik helfen David Chalmers’ “schwieriges Problem des Bewusstseins” zu lösen? Kann Zeit rückwärts laufen? Was gibt es über Altered States (ASC) zu lernen?
Exklusive, tiefgreifende Interviews mit den führenden Köpfen ihres Faches bieten Denkansätze und Wissen. Manche Meinungen sind provozierend oder lassen einen zunächst auch schmunzeln. Alle Aussagen sind aber fesselnd und stets erleuchtend für das jeweilige Fach. Und sie verändern die Art und Weise wie wir uns selbst, die Welt und das Universum betrachten.
Alle Interviews liegen direkt in exklusiver, ausführlicher Form vor und wurden nicht mit Archivmaterial oder anderen Meinungen verschnitten.
Inhalt:
What is consciousness?:
In this overview of the subject, philosopher David Chalmers outlines some of the challenges confronting consciousness researchers, including what he has termed the "hard problem" -- how does the brain give rise to subjective awareness and experience? Philosopher and author Susan Blackmore proposes that science will need to include subjective experience to make any progress in understanding consciousness.

Altered states:
In this exploration into a fascinating subject, we ask what is an "altered state" of consciousness? What can we learn about consciousness from states induced by meditation, psychedelics and hypnosis? What is science discovering about the shamanic medicineayahuasca? What are the conditions and practices for the transformation of consciousness? Featuring leading researchers in the field: IONS director Marilyn Schlitz, psychologist Arthur Hastings, neuroscientist and long-term meditator Zoran Josipovic, pioneering ayahuascaresearcher Frank Echenhofer, and zoologist and leading psychedelics expert Thomas Ray.

Time and consciousness:
Could time be an illusion? Does consciousness exist only in the present moment, or is it more like a wave flowing from the future into the past? Does consciousness extend in time and space? What is the scientific evidence for presentiment? Does our perception of linear time flowing conceal a deeper reality only accessible through quantum physics? In this major section we interview pioneering biologist Rupert Sheldrake, physicist Harald Atmanspacher and neuroscientists Dick Bierman and John Jacobson.

An introduction to quantum physics and consciousness:
Does the brain rely on quantum effects such as entanglement and superposition for consciousness to arise? Could these effects be taking place within microtubules, the complex subsctructure found inside cells and neurons? Could consciousness itself be a fundamental property of the universe, embedded at the Planck scale of reality, or even deeper? In their controversial hypothesis, British physicist Sir Roger Penrose and consciousness theorist Stuart Hameroff propose what they call Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch. OR)- where each moment of consciousness is a collapse of spacetime itself.
