The Unexplained Powers of Animals - Part I Rupert Sheldrake, PhD Dogs that know when their owners are coming home; cats that answer the telephone when a person they are attached to is calling; horses that can find their way home over unfamiliar terrain; animals that anticipate earthquakes -- these are some aspects of animal behavior that suggest the existence of forms of perceptiveness that lie beyond present-day scientific understanding. Rupert will summarize the evidence for the telepathy, premonitions and a sense of direction in animals. He suggests how some of these phenomena might be explained and show how human psychic powers seem more normal, more natural, when seen in the light of animal behavior. Presenter Bio: With a PhD in biochemistry, Rupert was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology at Cambridge, and as a Research Fellow of the Royal Society, carried out research in developmental biology. From 1974 to 1978, he was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in Hyderabad, India, where he worked on the physiology of tropical legume crops, and remained Consultant Physiologist until 1985. He lived for a year and a half at the ashram of Fr. Bede Griffiths in South India, where he wrote A New Science of Life. He is also the author of The Presence of the Past; The Rebirth of Nature; Seven Experiments That Could Change the World; and with Matthew Fox, Natural Grace: Dialogues on Science and Spirituality and The Physics of Angels. His most recent book, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home and Other Unexplained Powers of Animals, was selected as Book of The Year by the British Scientific and Medical Network. www.sheldrake.oom

Neuropeptides and Kabbalah: The Synthesis of Science and Spirit Daniel Kinderlehrer, MD In the past decade science has elucidated more about the brain and the mind than during the entire previous history of psychology and neuroscience. However, as details of our molecular biology emerge, it becomes clear that the only way to understand the human mind is within a larger framework than molecules and electric potentials. We need to discard Western concepts of mind-body communication and, therefore, duality, and expand our awareness to body-mind unity. The mind is not a separate entity in dialogue with our bodies. The mind is a complex informational system throughout our bodies, which enables our cells to talk with each other and the outside world. This understanding of the mind is held within the cosmology of the universe as described in the Kabbalah. The four worlds of the Kabbalah describe the synthesis of Spirit-Beliefs-Energy-Emotions-and-Physicality, or the process of consciousness becoming matter. The Kabbalah supplies a framework for understanding mind body oneness and the role of molecular communication signals such as neuropeptides in the process of creation. Discover unified field theory of spirit and science, of ancient wisdom and molecular biology, and the application of these concepts in medicine and healing. Presenter Bio: Daniel is a nationally recognized holistic physician with expertise in the fields of nutrition, allergy, environmental medicine and the healing of mind-body-spirit as a unified whole. He was the cofounder of the New England Center for Holistic Medicine in Massachusetts before moving to Santa Fe. In addition to certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Daniel graduated from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and a school of Kabbalistic healing. He has taught extensively, including practitioner and lay courses at the Omega Institute and the National Institute of Behavioral Medicine. He co-authored the Antioxidant Save Your-Life Cookbook, and authored the forthcoming book Unraveling the Mysteries of Lyme Disease: Can a Hidden Infection Be the Cause of Your Chronic Illness?
