About the Event
From Survival in the Body to Survival in the Bardo:TheTransformation of Life and
Death in a New Model Based on Ancient Yogic and Contemporary Western Science
This series examines new scientific discoveries and ancient yogic discoveries concerning the evidence that some individuals may be able to exert some unusual control over consciousness and survival in the body and in the bardo or “between” states (dreaming, dying, and other states). The emerging data may have implications for conditions such as stroke, septic shock, epilepsy, coma, and minimally conscious and vegetative states. Dr. Josipovic will examine latest neuroscientific research into conscious in dreaming, sleeping, and pathologically altered states. David Parke will focus on controversial Western approaches to survival in the bardo, pioneered by Dr. Newton and Dr. Weiss. Phagyab Rinpoche focuses on the first-person experience of a practitioner of bardo yoga. The final class will present an integrated summery for discussion.
*Please note: the guest lecturers will be joining Dr Bushell as discussants
