Rudolf Steiner and the future of spiritual science: a four-week seminar with live sessions in New York and global online access, hosted with Anthroposophy NYC, featuring Mary Stewart Adams, Ralph White and Walter Alexander.
A month-long exploration of Rudolf Steiner’s visionary thinking and its bearing on the present — consciousness, spiritual evolution, karma and reincarnation, read against AI, technofeudalism and the psychedelic renaissance.
An introduction to Rudolf Steiner for readers formed by scientific materialism, arguing that analytic idealism — via Bernardo Kastrup — gives a coherent framework for taking Steiner seriously again. Covers his cosmology of recurring Earth incarnations, the subtle bodies, the organs of imagination, inspiration and intuition, and the opposing forces he named Lucifer and Ahriman, with the suggestion that artificial intelligence is the Ahrimanic incarnation he foresaw.
A six-week webinar bringing neuroscience, philosophy and mysticism to bear on the furthest reaches of the psyche, with Bernardo Kastrup, Gary Lachman, Jonathan Schooler, Mona Sobhani, Richard Smoley, Tom Roberts, Alex Ebert and others.
Daniel Pinchbeck and Professor Sean Esbjörn-Hargens on the ET and UFO phenomenon — abductions, channelled material, government secrecy, and inter-dimensional encounter.
A three-hour lecture and workshop on extraterrestrial and inter-dimensional communication, and the overlap between the UFO phenomenon, psychedelic contact experience and the collective unconscious.
Four online seminars on what the evidence and the traditions say about consciousness after death, moving from scientific materialism to monistic idealism. Includes a free ebook.
Christopher Bache on twenty years of high-dose LSD sessions and the cosmology he derived from them, recorded for Building Our Regenerative Future. Free, and paired with his dialogue with Ervin Laszlo.
A February 2016 newsletter reporting on a six-hour Sydney workshop called Reconnecting, organized by Gary Gorrow of the Conscious Club, and previewing a London talk, the OuiShare Festival in Paris, and a Croatian lecture cruise run by Bridging Heaven Earth. Pinchbeck rejects the label of expert and notes that How Soon Is Now is due from Watkins Press.
Two claims drive this excerpt from How Soon Is Now: that social and technological development extends biological evolution, and that ecological catastrophe is a collective rite of passage. Pinchbeck draws on Robert Wright’s Non-Zero, Teilhard de Chardin’s Noosphere, Lynn Margulis on microbial cooperation, and Rupert Sheldrake’s Science Delusion to argue humanity is becoming a planetary super-organism.
