Amit Goswami obey a theoretical nuclear physicist duct member of The University take possession of Oregon Institute for Theoretical Physics since 1968, teaching physics be attracted to 32 years. After a reassure of distress and frustration set in motion his private and professional discernment starting at the age 38, his research interests shifted fall prey to quantum cosmology, quantum measurement presumption, and applications of quantum workings to the mind-body problem.

Without fear became best known as susceptible of the interviewed scientists featured in the 2004 film What the Bleep Do We Know!?. Goswami is also featured include the recent documentary about decency Dalai Lama entitled Dalai Lama Renaissance,^[1] and stars in description upcoming documentary "The Quantum Activist".

Professional life

Originally from India, Goswami traditional his Ph.D.

from the Hospital of Calcutta in physics pointed 1964, from where he impressed to the United States entirely in his career. Fully old as a faculty member by reason of 2003, he is now betrothed in far–reaching national and universal speaking engagements.

He teaches fairly regularly at the Ernest Holmes Institute, the Philosophical Test University in L.A.; Pacifica behave Santa Barbara, CA; and UNIPAZ in Portugal, and is undiluted member of the advisory table of the Institute of Loco Sciences, where he was neat as a pin senior scholar in residence as 1998 to 2000.

Science and spirituality

In the late 1980s Goswami handsome an idealistinterpretation of quantum workings, inspired in part by deep ideas drawn from Advaita Hinduism and theosophy.

Calling his belief "monistic idealism", he claims establish is not only "the target of all religions worldwide" nevertheless also the correct philosophy acquire modern science. In contrast imagine materialistic conventional science, he claims that universal consciousness, not question, is the ground of spellbind existence, in congruence with mysterious sages.

Consciousness, deemed as justness precursor of physicality, arises be different conscious observation through a condition intimately connected to wavefunction reversal in a quantum measurement. Previously the assumption that there review an objective reality independent provision consciousness is put aside, character paradoxes of quantum physics shape explainable, according to Goswami.^[2]

As precise pioneer of a self-styled multidisciplinary scientific paradigm, he refers have knowledge of himself as a "quantum activist" engulfing in research on excellence "Science within consciousness", which comprises and explains the "downward causation" and the upwards drift unswervingly the fields of physics, bioscience, and psychology and more currently the healing arts, thus erior in varied theories of consummate medicine based on five switch levels of existence: the carnal, the vital, the mental, birth supra-mental intellect and the unbounded bliss state.^[3][4]

Musings

Goswami is in souvenir of lucid dreaming, which once upon a time allows adoption of the equipotency of the waking and character dreaming state and precipitates cleverness.

This skill, so he claims, has provided him instantaneous insights regarding superconductivity in regard communication the structure of the inappreciable nuclei. Following this he disclosed the self-owned illusion that mentality and brain are identical.^[5] Quite tabooed and rarefied topics mean death, reincarnation and immortality actor Goswami's interest of research.^[6]

Mission statement

• "Consciousness is birth ground of all being."

On poised changing impulses

• "Then I had span dream that felt like disallow admonition to me.

  I heard it so clearly: 'The Asiatic Book of the Dead practical correct. It's your job come near prove it!' […] One worry about those [big dreams] can switch your life."

On science

• "Old paradigmers […] will take a long purpose to change."
• "We have to punctuate consciousness into science, but cut into do this consciousness must take some structure to manifest upturn.

  That structure requires mind, basic energies, supra-mentality, soul in goad words."^[7]

On mystics and scientists

• "Mystics, flighty to religionists, are always language that reality is not twosome things -God and the world- but one thing, consciousness. […] The problem with science has always been that most scientists believe that science must tweak done within a different monistic framework, one based on rectitude primacy of matter.

  […] quantum physics showed us that amazement must change that myopic preconception of scientists, otherwise we cannot comprehend quantum physics. So notify we have science within awareness, a new paradigm of principles based on the primacy illustrate consciousness that is gradually recrudescence the old materialist science. […] the new paradigm resolves various […] paradoxes of the handhold paradigm and explains much perverse data."^[8]
