Marilyn Schlitz, PhD, is professor of transpersonal psychology at Sofia University. She is president emeritus of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. She is coauthor of Consciousness and Healing: Integral Approaches to Mind-Body Medicine, Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life, and Worldview Explorations. She is coproducer, with Deepak Chopra of the documentary, Death Makes Life Possible.

Here she describes her successful journey, of more than forty years, as a researcher in parapsychology. Her work encompasses remote viewing, distant mental influence on living systems, and psychic healing. Along the way, she worked with many luminaries in the field. She describes the nuances of navigating through academic and research circles, collaborating with skeptics, and advising students.

A Career in Parapsychology
on New Thinking Allowed

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “Parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

Dr. Julia Mossbridge will discuss reverse-causality in photons, David Alzofon will present on NMR gravity-modification, and Ted Pittman will demonstrate his patented Impulse Driver. Mark Sokol & Falcon Space provide detailed lab updates and the results of their latest experiments, and we’ll be finishing off the event with an open discussion and ad hoc presentations by conference attendees!

IONS Fellow Julia Mossbridge will present Long Time-frame Causally Ambiguous Behavior Demonstrated In An Optical System

The idea that events in what we call the future could influence events in what we call the present or past has been called retrocausation, retrocausality, time symmetry, or atemporality. It has been argued that empirical demonstrations of such effects include delayed-choice experiments and inhibited spontaneous emission.

What unites these physical phenomena is the ambiguity about causality that they introduce. Presented here are empirical demonstrations of a similarly causally ambiguous phenomenon at a long (seconds-to-minutes) time scale. Dr. Julia Mossbridge will discuss experiments on a duration-sorting effect, where different experimental run durations appear to regularly produce different photomultiplier output that depends on future durations.

The focus of this year’s summit is how to thrive in life, leadership and work.  IONS Past President Cassandra Vietan will be presenting The Future of Mindfulness.

Life is changing in important ways. Disruptions are happening with greater frequency. The pandemic has brought upheaval that few of us could have imagined. We face ever-increasing demands on our time and attention. There is an epidemic of stress and burnout. This is affecting us in so many areas of our lives.

Join Cassandra Vietan, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Dan Siegel, Sharon Salzberg and leaders from Google, Twitter, UCLA and many more organizations. Explore what we can do to thrive in life, leadership and work at this significant moment in time.

People who have regular spiritual practices tend to live healthier, longer, more content lives. Science sheds new light on many spiritual practices, including pilgrimages, reconnecting with the living world, meditation, chanting, prayer, and rites of passage. Explore the entanglements between science and spirituality in a beautiful, wild setting.

In this program, we spend part of our time outdoors – in the garden, seashore and forest – connecting with the world around us and bringing together ideas with direct intuitive experience. We explore scientific and spiritual traditions through discussion, play, singing, listening, looking, thinking, and celebration. We reflect on our connections with our ancestors, human and non-human, and with the collective memory on which we all draw.

IONS Fellow Dr. Rupert Sheldrake will show how his hypothesis of morphic resonance enables us to understand rituals and provides a new interpretation of memory and the survival of bodily death. Merlin will explore the ways that a deeper understanding of symbiotic relationships – between ourselves, fungi, plants, bacteria, and others – can change our understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways that we think, feel, and behave. Cosmo Sheldrake will lead us in singing and musical celebration.

Join IONS Fellow Dr. Peter Bancel at this symposium hosted by the Parapsychological Association (PA). At this online event, they will explore different approaches to building a theory of psi, with an emphasis on where we are and the challenges we face.

Plan to attend his highly interactive event with your microphone and camera so that you may engage with the speakers and fellow attendees. PA members are offered extended Q&A options, and all attendees will have breaktime opportunities to network in the virtual social lounge.

The Psi Agora is an online space opened on the 5th of each month (11:00am Eastern) for members of the Parapsychological Association to gather for conversation around a selection of “table” topics. The objective is to replicate, in a virtual platform, some of the social dynamics that happen at conventions or other consciousness-related gatherings, which have helped to nourish innovation and develop international projects. Furthermore, it’s an excellent opportunity to learn about what’s being researched by your colleagues!

On May 5th, IONS Fellow, Dr. Stanley Krippner, will host a table discussion on the topic:
