This course explains our
current dualistic (Mind and Matter) paradigm and the non-dual new model of
reality: the interconnectedness of all things and the power of consciousness to
influence physical reality and the holistic nature of human experience. We will
explore the implications for our relationships, religion, ethics and morality
and peer into the future of artificial intelligence, the evolution of our
images of God and perspectives on life after death.
