ConnectIONS Live!
What happens to consciousness after physical death? In this thought-provoking ConnectIONS Live webinar, David Lorimer—writer, speaker, and author—will explore how research and perspectives on the survival of consciousness have evolved over the past 40 years.
Drawing from his seminal works, Death as Transition and Resonant Mind, Lorimer will examine key developments in the field, including the shift from materialist frameworks toward post-materialism, non-duality, and panpsychism, as well as the impact of the psychedelic renaissance. He’ll also reflect on the ethical implications of these ideas, emphasizing the underlying unity of consciousness—One Mind—and the imperative of the Golden Rule.
Join us for an illuminating conversation that bridges science, philosophy, and spirituality in the quest to better understand the nature of consciousness.
