“If I want to be peaceful, if I want to be calm, if I want to have a sense of equanimity as I’m going through my final years, then I need to work and activate those qualities in my life with the challenges that come up in daily life now.”
~ Tom Pinkson, PhD, “Creating a New Vision of Aging”
The IONS Experience & Engagement Team is delighted to launch a community forums for our online workshops. The new forum platform is designed to amplify your experiences of well-being, innovation, and transformation through enhanced connection with fellow workshop participants.
In this blog series, we are highlighting IONS staff members’ noetic experiences and practices. These are direct experiences that each person has had with noetic information and energy — from beyond space and time. The various ways that we individually connect with this type of information make up our unique Noetic Signature™.
In an article I co-authored with Stuart Kauffman, “Is the brain-mind quantum? A theoretical proposal with supporting evidence, we proposed a new way to understand the mind-brain relationship and then discussed the implications of it.” The idea was based on a 1958 suggestion by Werner Heisenberg, one of the founders of quantum mechanics. It concerns the difference between possible and actual states of being. The former is a core concept within quantum mechanics, and the latter involves the world of everyday experience.
So you, too, might be wondering about the million-dollar question: How does channeling work? Well, unfortunately, the short answer is that we don’t really know for sure.
Eight years ago this month as I made my way to my first IONS Conference, I could have never predicted the life-changing journey that was about to unfold. I boarded Southwest Flight 1111 (surely an indicator) and arrived at the conference location near Palm Springs feeling like an explorer on a solo adventure. I literally knew no one, having only recently become an IONS Member. I remember feeling like a kid in a candy store, as I raced to every plenary session and breakout workshop that I could fit into my schedule. However, it was the profound sense of being part of an interconnected family — “coming home” as many IONS Members say — that is the most palpable feeling I remember to this day.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that we announce the successful completion on June 30, 2021, of the “Illuminate Our Interconnection” fiscal year-end fundraising campaign. With matching gifts from a group of donors including the IONS Board of Directors, in addition to donations from more than 350 individuals from around the world, we have exceeded our ambitious $800,000 fundraising goal! While we are still finalizing the exact total, we are thrilled to share this wonderful news.
Every two years, IONS selects three people under 35 who are bringing noetic perspectives to the world and presents them with the NextGen Consciousness in Action Awards. Winners of the Award each receive a $1,000 prize and are invited to speak at one or more events sponsored by IONS, which help to share information about their important work. We are excited to announce that we are now accepting nominations for the 2021 Awards.
Is consciousness created by the physical brain? Or can our consciousness actually impact the physical world? Decades of studies by IONS researchers and others suggest that consciousness can and does impact the physical world through psychokinesis or PK.
