   So just to keep things honest, I'm a researcher in human origins for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. And my research is inspired by my studies in the ancient Sanskrit writings in India, especially the Puranas, the historical writings. Now, for many today, those two things would be complete disqualifications for me to say anything about a scientific topic in scientific circles. However, quite surprisingly to me even, there are people within the scientific world who are interested in hearing what I have to say. And I've been invited to present my ideas at some of the leading…

   If we'd believed that perjury, murder, and theft were all right, we wouldn't have got as far as the foot of Mount Si or anywhere else. Um, now we're told what we have to believe. And this is coming now to the question of whether or not science, reason and religion are compatible or I would rather say reconcilable. The great Steven Jay Gould, the late great Steven Jay Gould said that he believed they were non-over overlapping magisteria. You can be both a believer and a person of faith. Sitting in front of me is a very distinguished extremely distinguished scholar Francis Collins helped us to u…

   No one seems to see this quantum construction, as I do yet. I think it will change because it is showing up in [journals and conference’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JGmzTXMgOQ). The natural truth’s are bigger than my ego. It allows me the patience to be able to stand among the naysayers with this knowledge. More importantly, the experience of how Nature is running the show in us, has me in a place that is far beyond the dark ages of my past.

   Just like we can tell our kids, "Oh, yeah," you know, "I was born before the internet, I was born before smartphones," 50 years from now, people are going to be telling stories about technologies that are normal that today we can't even fathom. I believe 50 years from now, people growing up won't think twice about entanglement, superposition... I think that will be commonplace. One of the things I love about quantum mechanics is that it seems non-intuitive to us. It tells us that there's something beyond just what we think we understand. We can't always rely on our intuition. We have to rely o…

   Don't believe or disbelieve anything we discuss in spirit science. Simply have your own experience. Better get some popcorn ready. This one's going to be pretty long. Back in the late 1700s, early 1800s time period, there was a social movement liberating the modern world from the reign of control that religion and superstition had on the people. Essentially, after our darkest part on the procession of the equinox, we were really beginning to wake up. Started making new inventions that were rapidly changing the world. The industrial era was beginning. Because of this, we began to see that maybe…

   They're unsure that is looking like 208 million years old. And that one's interesting because the actual artifact seems to be missing. There's a record that you note in the book that shows that someone from the Rockefeller Institute came in, took photos of it. But where is it? It doesn't seem to be found. One that I really like, just to throw out one more example because for me, I don't know about the dating, but I do think it's interesting to find things that are found really far in the earth. And there is a case where in Nampa, Idaho, they were drilling a well and they were drilling 300 feet…

   Gadamer says, and here again he's attacking historicism: The text that is understood historically is forced to abandon its claim that it is uttering something true. We think we understand when we see the past from a historical standpoint, i.e., place ourselves in the historical situation and seek to reconstruct the historical horizon. [I've been attempting to summarize this position and so I trust that it's easily intelligible as I read it to you now.] In fact, however, we have given up the claim to find, in the past, any truth valid and intelligible for ourselves. And, by the way, this would …

   In other words, um not only truth, you need to believe certain things in order to advance in your knowledge of truth. And this is why I've I find the con- temporary philosophy of education, if you want to call it that, to be so deadly because uh the young person is deprived of all truth. He's taught to doubt everything. He's taught to question everything. And uh this is a self-defeating process because as I said, uh in order to find truth, you must already have some truth to work with. Uh and uh I find that modern education, beginning really on the level of of kindergarten, it deprives people …

    The third one is, however, a special sort of fact, clearly not dependent on human will or choice and almost certainly not dependent upon any quantum measurements either. Future facts that do depend upon human choice or quantum measurement, should they be facts now, would seem to constrain human choice or quantum measurement in ways that many philosophers find undesirable. It is easy to convince oneself, then, that future facts of those two sorts can not really be part of the existing. Perhaps, then, facts like fact 3 above can be argued away as well. The result of this (lightly sketched) train…
