Has Dan Brown Just Published the Most Widely Read Case for the Primacy of Consciousness?
Half the planet would like to have a conversation with @authordanbrown , and we at the SMN are going to have one on Zoom on 6 June at 4pm (BST, UK). Ever since the monumental success of The Da Vinci Code (2003; 85 million copies sold; translated into 44 languages) Brown has been the epitome of the successful popular novelist.
But his latest novel in the Robert Langdon series, The Secret of Secrets, astonishingly, as well as being a highly-readable page-turner, is based on exactly the things the SMN investigates, proclaims and stands for, namely the ontological priority of consciousness and the existence of dimensions to the universe that are other than material.
David Lorimer and Lance Butler will be in dialogue with Dan Brown and will hope to find out how a firm scientific-materialist came to make another whiz-bang plot out of the ideas which we, along with all members of the SMN, espouse, and then found out for himself that, in truth, the great secret of the universe, hidden by so much of modern thought, may be that there is a lot more to heaven and earth than the physical.
This event will include a live Q&A.

If You Feel Something Is Missing in Your Life, It Is Probably More of the Real You.
There are moments in life when we sense that we have drifted from ourselves. That somewhere beneath the roles we play and the habits we have built, there is a truer, fuller version of us waiting to be lived.

The Enneagram has been helping people find their way back to that person for centuries.
One of the oldest personal growth systems in the world, the Enneagram is now one of the fastest growing, and for good reason. Across every walk of life, people are discovering that its nine distinct types illuminate not just who they are, but why they think, feel and behave the way they do, and more importantly, who they are capable of becoming.
In this talk, bestselling author and psychologist Dr Robert Holden draws on his new book Becoming Yourself to introduce the Enneagram in a way that is accessible, warm and immediately practical.
He walks through the Nine Points of the Enneagram symbol, shares his own Enneagram Quiz to help you find your type, and explores how each of the nine types can move from patterns that limit them toward a life that feels genuinely, authentically their own.
This is not a talk about fixing yourself. It is an invitation to meet yourself with honesty, curiosity and compassion.

Are We Disconnected From the Core Energy of Love?
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a French Jesuit priest and palaeontologist whose writings integrate evolutionary religion and evolution.
Teilhard believed the universe is not winding down but unfolding toward ever-greater consciousness, driven by what he called a core energy of love woven into the fabric of matter itself.

đ ScientificAndMedical.net
Drawing on Teilhardâs vision, this talk argues that love is not merely a sentiment but a cosmological force: one that calls us to awaken by recognising the whole within ourselves and in the world around us.
When we lose sight of that inner-outer unity, we fall into the fragmentation that lies at the root of so much contemporary moral confusion: tribalism, ecological indifference, a sense of meaninglessness.
This matters now because we live in a moment when both science and spirituality are asking convergent questions about consciousness, interconnection, and purpose. Yet, most public conversation treats them as separate or opposed.
What if the divide between science and the sacred has always been smaller than we were told, and closing it could change everything about how you see yourself and the world around you?

What If âLove in the Airâ Is Not Just a Feeling, but a Real, Measurable Phenomenon?
Most of us have felt it.
⨠The excitement that fills a room before something extraordinary happens.
⨠The tension that hangs between two people without a single word being spoken.
⨠The warmth that seems to radiate from someone who loves you, even before they touch you.
We have always had language for these experiences, because they are universal. But science has rarely asked whether they might be real in a way that goes beyond metaphor. Dr Carol Richardson decided to ask!
đŤ Tickets: Link in Bio
đ ScientificAndMedical.net/events
As part of her dissertation on Universal Consciousness and the Quantum Vacuum, she designed an online research survey to explore peopleâs ability to detect the subtle energies of emotions in the air around them. The results were astounding.
In this talk, Carol shares the full findings, exploring what the distribution of responses reveals, what the âmaybeâ answers tell us, and why a purely materialistic explanation may not be enough.
She brings forward a philosophy that restores the sacred feminine at the heart of these transpersonal emotional fields, offering a way of understanding these phenomena that is both scientifically grounded and spiritually alive.
Because if love in the air is real, and the evidence suggests it may well be, then the implications for how we understand consciousness, connection and what it means to be human are profound beyond measure.

Is Science Finally Unlocking the Healing Power of Sound and Colour?
Long before modern medicine, mystics and healers knew something that our busy, rational world has slowly forgotten.
That sound and colour are not merely things we perceive, but forces that move through us, restore us, and bring us back to ourselves.
đĽ That ancient knowing is finding its way back to us.
đŤ Tickets: Link in Bio
ScientificAndMedical.net/events
A quiet revolution is taking place at the edges of science. Academic research into sound frequencies for therapeutic benefit is growing, and early studies in chromotherapy, the use of colour as a complimentary therapy in the healing process, are producing results that are hard to ignore.
Patients recovering from cancer treatment have shown reduced anxiety. People living with stress and hypertension have found relief.
In mental health settings, chromotherapy has shown measurable improvements in wellbeing alongside conventional medical support.
This talk invites you to take a journey through the theories, the emerging research, and the living tradition that connects them.
Letâs open a door to a way of understanding healing that honours the whole of who we are: body, mind, and soul.
What Does It Mean to Be Human in an Age of Accelerating Technological Transformation?
Join acclaimed author and researcher @gregg.braden in conversation with David Lorimer for a timely and thought-provoking dialogue inspired by Greggâs newest book, Pure Human. Together, they will explore the deeper questions emerging at the intersection of consciousness, technology, and the future of our species.
⨠Tickets: Link in bio
đ ScientificAndMedical.net/events
As developments in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and visions of human enhancement continue to accelerate, we are invited to reflect more deeply on the essential qualities that define our humanity.
In this conversation, Gregg considers the possibility that the future of human evolution may not lie in technological augmentation, but rather in awakening the innate capacities that already exist within us. These include our ability for empathy, emotional depth, connection, and the cultivation of heart-centered awareness.
Drawing from both scientific insight and spiritual inquiry, Gregg will share his perspective on what he calls our âpure humanâ potentialâan inherent intelligence that supports healing, resilience, and coherence within both individuals and communities.
David Lorimer will guide the conversation to explore how these ideas relate to the broader cultural moment, inviting reflection on how we navigate rapid change with discernment, agency, and a grounded sense of what we value most.
Rather than offering simple answers, this dialogue opens a space for inquiry into the kind of future we are shaping, and the role that consciousness, ethics, and human connection will play in that unfolding.
It is an invitation to consider how we might remain rooted in the depth and dignity of our humanity while engaging thoughtfully with the possibilities and challenges of our time.

How Can Reincarnation Help Us Understand Our Unique Journey Through Life?
In this webinar, psychologist SĂśren Grind explores the eternal structure behind our non-local consciousness, reincarnation and karma, based on the spiritual science of Martinus.
⨠Tickets: Link in bio
đ Link: ScientificAndMedical.net/events
Drawing on many years of experience, SĂśren shows how life viewed in the perspective of reincarnation can provide a loving and logical view of life that can bring hope, meaning, and purpose in times of suffering and in todayâs turbulent world.
All experiences, pleasant and unpleasant, can be seen as building blocks in an evolution of all of us towards a higher state of awareness, neighborly love and cosmic consciousness.
Martinus (1890â1981) is the author of more than 40 books describing the underlying cosmic structures of a living universe, in which reincarnation and karma play an essential role. At the age of 30, Martinus quite unexpectedly underwent a profound experience that completely transformed his consciousness. Afterwards, a new ability opened within his mind, which Martinus describes as âday-conscious intuitionâ or âcosmic consciousnessâ.
He became aware that he could read the universe intuitively as if it were an open book, and he saw eternal, cosmic structures underlying all visible manifestations. Martinus also created around 100 symbols to illustrate the details of the spiritual world with carefully selected colors and figures.
In his work, Martinus shows that the living universe is founded on all-encompassing love and logic, and that we are eternal beings on an evolutionary journey towards higher forms of existence.
In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, this webinar offers you a coherent, loving framework to understand why things happen, and where your life, with all its pain and beauty, is truly headed.
What if the answers you have been looking for were never outside of you?
This season, the Scientific and Medical Network brings together world-leading scientists, philosophers, healers and visionary thinkers for one of the most compelling webinar series of 2026.

We are delighted to have Mary Sharpe as a featured presenter who brings a rare combination of legal, theological, and cultural insight to one of the most intriguing and controversial themes in early Christian history: the Sacrament of the Bridal Chamber.
In this preview clip, Mary revisits a mystery preserved in the Gnostic Gospels â a teaching that suggests Jesus may have transmitted a transformative path centred on sacred union.

Is the best way to navigate uncertainty not by better maps, but by deeper perception?
We live in an era of dissolving structures. The maps we once trusted are losing their edges and the certainty we built our thinking around is giving way to something more fluid, more alive, and far more demanding.

This talk steps into that fog. Drawing on immersive engagement with forest landscapes and deep inquiry into how consciousness meets the world, it explores a different kind of navigation. One that doesnât begin with a destination but with perception itself.
What happens when we stop treating intuition and situated awareness as noise, and start recognising them as signals?
At a moment when technology is reshaping not just what we see but how we see, the forest has something to teach us about moving without a fixed path. This talk asks what we might learn from that.

Is Todayâs Chaos the Beginning of a Renaissance We Canât Yet See?
We are living through a polycrisis â a time when multiple global and psychological crises interact and amplify one another. The old world is dissolving.
Yet historically, such breakdowns often precede rebirths â just as the European Renaissance emerged from the ashes of the medieval world.
⨠Tickets: Link in bio

A polycrisis is a state where multiple crises â ecological, economic, political, technological, psychological â become interconnected and mutually reinforcing, creating conditions no single system can solve.
This webinar will be exploring the chrysalis process from an alchemical perspective as a symbol for the metamorphosis that we are undergoing collectively.
The caterpillar must die to become the butterfly; so too must the worldâs Piscean myth of belief dissolve to be born to the Aquarian age of consciousness to open to humanityâs re-membering of the web of lifeâs interconnectedness.
Itâs easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless when the world seems to be breaking down on every front.
During this talk Eva will offer a map for finding meaning in the midst of chaos, and the courage to believe that something extraordinary may be emerging from it.
The webinar will be followed by a live Q&A with Eva Rider.
