The Nature of Higher Consciousness with Sally Ornstein (4K Reboot)
Sally M. Ornstein was married to the late psychologist, Robert E. Ornstein, for more than 35 years. She is coauthor, with him, of God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called "God".In this reboot from 2021, Sally describes the capacities of the brain's right hemisphere for experiences of transcendence and wholeness. She maintains that higher states of awareness are achieved, naturally, by deactivating certain areas of the brain that keep us focused on egoic concerns – the right parietal lobe and the default mode network. Ornstein describes stages in humanity's religious evolution leading up to the integration of science and spirituality.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. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.(Recorded on October 13, 2021)For a complete, updated list with links to all of our videos, see https://newthinkingallowed.com/Listings.htm.Check out the New Thinking Allowed Foundation website at http://www.newthinkingallowed.org.
