Spiritual Science - Dr Steve Taylor, PhD

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: bit.ly/new-talks5
It’s often assumed that there are two ways of interpreting the world: a rational scientific way, or an irrational religious way.
In this talk, Dr. Steve Taylor offers a third alternative: a spiritual view of reality that transcends both conventional science and religion, and answers many of the riddles that neither can explain.
Steve will suggest that the primary reality is not matter, but consciousness. The standard model of science has had little success in explaining such areas as human consciousness, the influence of the mind over the brain and body, altruism and ‘anomalous’ phenomena such as near-death experiences and spiritual experiences.
Focusing specifically on consciousness, altruism and spiritual experiences, Steve will show that these phenomena are much easier to make sense of, if we assume the existence of a fundamental consciousness of spirit. Steve will draw on the on the insights of philosophers, physicists, mystics, as well as spiritual traditions and indigenous cultures, offering a vision of the world as sacred and interconnected, and of human life as meaningful.
Dr. Steve Taylor is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University. He is the author of several best-selling books on psychology and spirituality, including Making Time, The Leap and his new book Spiritual Science.
Eckhart Tolle has described his work as ‘an important contribution to the shift in consciousness happening on our planet’ and he has twice been named in Mind, Body, Spirit magazine’s list of the ‘100 most spiritually influential living people’.

    Ow, the book has arrived! I'm excited... this is such a great paradigm shift that is happening... when we restore the link between science and spirituality, humanity can thrive! For the time being, social sciences are predominantly sociopathically reductionistic... but things are moving, as humanistic approaches are gaining momentum... a good evolution! Of course, the full dept of humanity is spiritual, grounded in a Source of Love beyond spacetime. We'll get there...as we heal from transgenerational sociopathy and trauma... and from materialistic dogmatism.

    Quantum entanglement ( love) is a physical (psychological) phenomenon that occurs when pairs of particles ( men and women ) are interacting in ways such that the quantum ( spiritual ) state of each particle (partner) cannot be described independently of the others ( partners ), even when the particles (partners ) are separated by a large distance-instead, a quantum ( spiritual ) state must be described for the system as a whole.

    The framework's there, but the science needs to be more rigorous. Steve Taylor evidently needs to read up about quantum entanglement, if only to be able to explain by way of metaphor how it works. Otherwise, it sounds like New Age woo-woo, quantum healing crystals etc. Prof. Taylor mentions Etzel Cardeña's 2018 article in American Psychologist. ('The experimental evidence for parapsychological phenomena: A review.') But has he read it? Asked about experiments to prove psi phenomena, he didn't mention the work of Dean Radin or Rupert Sheldrake, or PEAR lab's Global Consciousness Project. No was there any mention of the other great mysteries that science is stuck on - the nature of dark energy and dark matter; what happened before Big Bang, fine tuning and the cosmological constant, squaring quantum mechanics with relativity, the seeming dead-end of string theory and the multiverse... I totally agree with the summary - science is stuck and consciousness needs to be involved. I'll end with a re-writing of chapter 1, verse 1 of the Gospel of St John: "In the beginning was Consciousness, and Consciousness was with God, and Consciousness was God".

    He was too rational when he said there are not other dimensions and levels, there is quantum and other big topics From science From spiritual that say this sort of thing is valid, even so this way. I don't know where that came from.

    panspiritism is just idealism as far as I can tell... o no... he says that spirit is a fundamental element of the universe... I would say that the universe is a fundamental element in eternal consciousness.

    Remember the story of Isis , trying to find his killed lover , so she collects his pieces and makes him , but one thing she couldnt find , hes penis , lacked ,, a fish ate it and took it away she cant find it . Do you understand what are they talking about . If i take atoms and make you in some lab with future tech , it still wouldnt be you , there is still one thing lacking , sexual energy , you still need to learn that Sexual Energy is Spirit , its life force , that energy of course was needed to make this universe , it is the only thing needed . Because at fundamental level all of the universe is nothing , but forces expressed in it are something not physical but something , and you absolutely have to have it to have universe and that is flow of energy . So when i make you from atoms i need to shock you with this energy and then it will be you , you will awake The more of this life energy i give you , the more active you will become in everything including sex . Do you understand now the story of Isis . Modern variant of it is Frankenstein , it is the same story , identical Now you understand that Ancients knew everything , just had different names for it , they used symbols , like Penis that is the sexual energy . And that is why Obelisks were all around , its a symbol .

    Basically , you've adopted a hyper sexualized view of the universe that most likely facilitates your erotic pleasures without a moral anchor. It's a deficient and reductionistic view of life, making people into sexual batteries, merely meant to pass on sexual energy. That is rather a childish anthropology that allows the kid to eat all of the candy in the candy shop. This view will promote sex without commitment and intimacy without cherishing the other in a life long commitment of fidelity. It will also lead to societal rot.
