The Research Behind The Lost Symbol – Part 1

I’m in the process of reading Dan Brown’s latest novel, The Lost Symbol, and was delighted to witness the bridge Brown built in Chapter 15. It details Katherine’s introductory education by her elder brother Richard into the tangled web of human thought from ancient to modern time.

Katherine, a scientist, is all at once stupefied and excited to learn that the esoteric teachings of ancient mystical texts mirror modern quantum and string theory with eerie precision. And, that is the underlying premise of the book. In just six pages Brown builds a believable case that ancient mystics cultivated a noetic understanding of deep mysteries that was lost over time and has finally been recovered by modern science. However, despite the intellectual fire power of today’s scientists, and the technological complexity of their measuring devices, they still don’t truly understand what they are dealing with. In Chapter 15, Brown positions Katherine’s character to be the one person on the planet to finally blend the breakthroughs of the rational, or analytical sciences, with powerful intuitive wisdom from the masters.

One of the aspects of Chapter 15 that excited me was to see the names of texts, mystics, philosophers, and scientist that Brown listed. All of them are covered in The Sage Age.

In Part 2 of this series, I’ll tell you what lead me to do the same research as Dan Brown. In Part 3, I’ll reveal where you can find information on the topics highlighted in The Lost Symbol.

The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom, was featured in Publishers Weekly shortly after its debut. Visit www.SageAge.net for more information and to read articles on many of the topics covered in the book.

Free Webinar with Dr. Amit Goswami

There’s a revolution going on in science and Dr. Goswami is leading the way. You may remember Amit Goswami from his appearance in the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?” but that’s not what he is best known for in the physics world. Dr. Goswami is the man who wrote the textbook every university in the world still uses to teach the basics of quantum mechanics and every theoretical physicist in the world has studied his writings.

By his own admission, Dr. Goswami was a hardcore Material Realist, meaning that he was sure that matter was the primary element of all existence. Scientific Materialism is the metaphysical basis of post-modern science that has dominated the world through the second half of twentieth century and is dominating the scientific world even now. But he had a change of heart that deeply connected him in a new way to his childhood religion and suddenly he realized that consciousness was the basis of All That Is.

His new documentary released earlier this year, “The Quantum Activist”, has won multiple awards and received rave reviews. (I was lucky enough to be one of the first folks to review this film. Read it here.) In it he explains his pioneering role in the new paradigm of science called “science within consciousness”.

To bring this revolution in science to the people, Dr. Goswami has introduced a new course of study titled Quantum Activism, which is building a bridge between the rational sciences and the noetic sciences in a way that will help us all move forward together in a new direction.

I invite you to join me for a free webinar Dr. Goswami is presenting on Tuesday, Oct.
6 at 5:00pm PST! Information and links to the webinar can be found here. As he says, be there or be E=mc²!

The Body Antenna - Impedance

Chapter 1 of The Sage Age - Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom covers aspects of the human body as a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system. To encourage discussion, the entire chapter has been divided into topic sections and presented as excerpts for download.

What impedes your flow of healthy vibes? Do outside forces induce a disruption in your flow? What happens to the flow when you resist? How can you increase your capacity for flow?

The three components that impede flow in an antenna system are resistance, capacitance, and inductance. Your body is a sophisticated, multi-faceted antenna system and to operate at peak performance, you need to bring it into balance.

This includes finding points of resistance to flow and increasing capacity. It also means identifying outside influences that induce a disruption of flow.

In this excerpt, we’ll use the analogy of water flowing through a hose. We’ll show how resistance can slow down the flow through the rest of the hose. We’ll also cover how a person’s capacity for flow affects the way their antenna works. And, finally, we’ll show how outside forces act like an elephant stomping on the hose that induces a disruption in the flow and can eventually damage the hose.
