He later became a fan of humorous non-fiction, such as the works of David Sedaris and Bill Bryson, all of which has informed his style. He was raised in the Hudson Valley during the famous UFO Flap on the middle 1980s, igniting an interest in the paranormal, causing him to read widely about fortean phenomena.

In 2010, he received his contract for We Shadows. He subsequently published three sequels and has several others in the works.

Consciousness Mystery, Studies, and Mystical Experiences with Dr. Vasileios Basios

Consciousness Mystery, Studies, and Mystical Experiences with Dr. Vasileios Basios
Joining me is one of this year'swinners of the IONS $100,000 Linda G. O’Bryant Noetic Sciences Research Prize: "Detecting Deviations from Random Activity as Indications of Consciousness Beyond the Brain" by Dr. Wolfhardt Janu, Dr. Vasileios Basios, Dr. Pier Francesco Moretti, Dr. Peter Merry, Dr. Annette Grathoff, and Professor Vicente Arraez These researchers propose that consciousness extends beyond the brain, interacting with the physical world beyond spacetime. Using Organized Random Event Generators (OREGs), they detect measurable disturbances known as non-local synchronicities. The “Ritual series” experiment explores ritual-related patterns, while the “ICU/Hospice series” connects OREGs to patient rooms, expecting synchronized data with significant events. This proposal provides insightful perspectives on the profound relationship between consciousness and the physical world, reshaping our understanding of existence. https://noetic.org/blog/research-prize-winners/ Dr. Vasileios Basios is a senior researcher at the Physics of Complex Systems Department of the University of Brussels, conducting interdisciplinary research on self-organisation and emergence in complex matter as well as aspects of the foundations of complex systems. During his formative years he worked within the team of Ilya Prigogine at the Solvay Institutes for Physics and Chemistry in Brussels. He is interested on the history of ideas in science and their role in the transformation of science beyond the prevailing mechanistic world-view. He believes that never before has the need for a qualitative change in science been so apparent and pressing and that complexity studies have made such a radical change not just possible but imperative.PLEASE HELP THE CHANNEL GROW ☕️ SUBSCRIBE, like, comment, and click the Notification Bell so you don’t miss a show.
