David&#39;s guest today is Dr Monica Gagliano who is Research Associate Professor in Evolutionary Ecology at the Biological Intelligence (BI) Lab, Southern Cross University in Perth, Australia. Her main research is broadly focusing on key aspects of the ecological processes by which organisms are able to gather information on the variable conditions of their surrounding environment in order to thrive. In collaboration with various disciplines across the Sciences and the Humanities, her research aims at expanding our perception of animals, plants and more generally Nature. In the process of learning how to do this, she has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics and extended the concept of cognition to plants, re-igniting the discourse on plant subjectivity, sentience and ethical standing.“Not all who wander are lost” - Goethe“The soul has an absolute and unforgiving need for regular excursions into enchantment” - Thomas Moore Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness.

Dr Peter Fenwick on Neuroscience and Consciousness

David Lorimer&#39;s Guest today is Dr Diane Hennacy Powell, who is a Johns Hopkins-trained neuropsychiatrist and neuroscientist, former Harvard faculty member, and an award-winning author and clinician. She began studying autism in 1987, when she spent six months with Sir Michael Rutter at the Institute for Psychiatry in London. She has served as a member of a think tank on the evolution of human consciousness at the Salk Institute, and as the Director of Research for the John E. Mack Institute. Her experimental research focuses on investigating reports of telepathy in autistic children and has been presented at international science conferences in the US and abroad. She is a polymath whose theoretical work bridges multiple scientific disciplines in its analysis of case studies in neuropsychiatry that challenge materialism’s neuro-centric model. Her 2008 book, The ESP Enigma: A Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena, presents a rational argument for a new paradigm, which is elaborated upon further in her chapter entitled Beyond Materialism and Madness in the first volume published by the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences: Is Consciousness Primary? Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness.

David Lorimer&#39;s guest today is his dear friend Satish Kumar, who was the Editor-in-Chief of Resurgence (now with the Ecologist) Magazine for 43 years and was the Founder of Schumacher College in Dartington. At nine years of age, Satish renounced the world and joined the brotherhood of Jain monks. At the age of eighteen, he left the monastic order and became a campaigner working to turn Gandhi’s vision of a peaceful world into reality. He undertook an 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage, walking without any money, to deliver packets of ‘peace tea’ to the leaders of the four nuclear powers. Satish is the author of six books, including his most recent one Pilgrimage for Peace, which describes this remarkable pilgrimage. His autobiography, No Destination, first published by Green Books in 1978, has sold over 50,000 copies. Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness. Imaginal cells are responsible for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, which is the Greek symbol for the soul. These cells are dormant in the caterpillar but at a critical point of development they create the new form and structure which becomes the butterfly.<a href="https://scientificandmedical.net/" rel="nofollow">scientificandmedical.net</a> <a href="https://galileocommission.org/" rel="nofollow">galileocommission.org</a><a href="https://beyondthebrain.org/" rel="nofollow">beyondthebrain.org</a> Works and links mentioned:<a href="https://www.resurgence.org/satish-kumar/" rel="nofollow">https://www.resurgence.org/satish-kumar/</a><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/pilgrimage-for-peace-the-long-walk-from-india-to-washington/9780857845290" rel="nofollow">Pilgrimage for Peace: The Long Walk from India to Washington by Satish Kumar</a><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-intimate-and-the-ultimate/9781903998397" rel="nofollow">The Intimate and the Ultimate. By Vinoba Bhave</a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Talks-Gita-HEARTFULNESS-WAY-Book-ebook/dp/B084624MJT/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Vinoba+Bhave&qid=1634855960&s=books&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">Talks on the Gita by Vinoba Bhave (Kindle edition)</a><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/stride-toward-freedom-the-montgomery-story/9780285639010" rel="nofollow">Stride Toward Freedom by Martin Luther King</a><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/small-is-beautiful-a-study-of-economics-as-if-people-mattered/9780099225614" rel="nofollow">Small is Beautiful by E F Schumacher</a>  Production: Martin RedfernArtwork: Amber HaasMusic: Life is a River, by Magnus Moone
