EnlightenNext is pleased to present the complete audio recordings from Mind, Matter, and Time, a three-day conference held in May 2005 at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. The workshop provided an introduction to the cutting-edge ideas and groundbreaking research of four preeminent voices in the field of consciousness studies: Craig Hamilton, Masaru Emoto, Ph.D., Joseph Chilton Pearce, M.A., and Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D. Their talks and dialogues focus on the questions:
- Where is consciousness?
- How does the mind manifest reality?
- How can we individually and collectively create the future?
- Can the brain be the source of morality, God, and the soul?
Fascinating and provocative, these lectures draw from the cutting edge of science and philosophy, compelling one to deeply consider what the true nature of “reality” might be. They offer a mind-altering glimpse into the uncharted realms of mind, consciousness, and time.
This talk features Craig Hamilton, who is recognized as a seminal thinker in the field of collective intelligence. He is the author of a feature article on the state of consciousness research for EnlightenNext magazine, and served as conference moderator.
BIO
Craig Hamilton is a writer, broadcaster, speaker and workshop leader with a passion for the evolution of consciousness. He spent eight years on the award-winning editorial team of EnlightenNext, and three as its managing editor. His feature articles and interviews helped to chart the landscape of an emerging evolutionary spirituality and contributed to the forging of a new, scientifically informed spiritual worldview bridging the great wisdom traditions of the East and the West.
Since Craig left EnlightenNext in late 2005, he has been pursuing his interest in the evolution of consciousness and culture across a number of fronts. He speaks regularly at conferences and progressive churches about topics related to science and consciousness, collective intelligence, and evolutionary spirituality. He is a founding partner in a soon-to-be-launched global TV network which aims to bring today’s leading-edge new-paradigm thinking into the homes of millions of viewers worldwide. And he has recently begun work on his first book, exploring the relationship between mysticism and morality. He is also a veteran broadcaster whose in-depth interviews with leading luminaries are regularly heard by New Dimensions Radio’s seven million listeners, and form the basis of the forthcoming documentary film: Toward a Science of Consciousness.
An active player on sustainability issues, Craig has been the driving force behind the grassroots movement surrounding Low Carbon Diet, an easy-to-use carbon reduction guide, and the “Global Warming Café,” a workshop which uses the successful World Café model of large group dialogue to bring communities together in a heartfelt exploration of and response to the climate crisis.
Craig is a founding member of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute, and a participant in the Synthesis Dialogues, a 35-person interdisciplinary think tank presided over by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
A 20-year spiritual practitioner, Craig spent over a decade living in Andrew Cohen’s spiritual community in Lenox, MA, and remains closely connected to Cohen’s teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment. Craig is a skilled workshop leader and insightful teacher whose vast mystical experience and understanding illuminates all of his work. He lives with his fiancée, Claire, in southern California where, in addition to offering courses and workshops, he is available for consulting and private coaching.
