Alan Wallace, Ph.D. on science, buddhism, skepticism and meditation | Part 1 "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Prof. B. Alan Wallace talks about his new book, HIDDEN DIMENSIONS.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBridging the gap between the world of science and the realm of the spiritual, B. Alan Wallace introduces a natural theory of human consciousness that has its roots in contemporary physics and Buddhism. Wallace's \"special theory of ontological relativity\" suggests that mental phenomena are conditioned by the brain, but do not emerge from it. Rather, the entire natural world of mind and matter, subjects and objects, arises from a unitary dimension of reality that is more fundamental than these dualities, as proposed by Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo test his hypothesis, Wallace employs the Buddhist meditative practice of samatha, refining one's attention and metacognition, to create a kind of telescope to examine the space of the mind. Drawing on the work of the physicist John Wheeler, he then proposes a more general theory in which the participatory nature of reality is envisioned as a self-excited circuit. In comparing these ideas to the Buddhist theory known as the Middle Way philosophy, Wallace explores further aspects of his \"general theory of ontological relativity,\" which can be investigated by means of vipasyana, or insight, meditation. Wallace then focuses on the theme of symmetry in reference to quantum cosmology and the \"problem of frozen time,\" relating these issues to the theory and practices of the Great Perfection school of Tibetan Buddhism. He concludes with a discussion of the general theme of complementarity as it relates to science and religion.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe theories of relativity and quantum mechanics were major achievements in the physical sciences, and the theory of evolution has had an equally deep impact on the life sciences. However, rigorous scientific methods do not yet exist to observe mental phenomena, and naturalism has its limits for shedding light on the workings of the mind. A pioneer of modern consciousness research, Wallace offers a practical and revolutionary method for exploring the mind that combines the keenest insights of contemporary physicists and philosophers with the time-honored meditative traditions of Buddhism.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"video-container\"\u003E\u003Ciframe allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xaAVSy8H8C8?rel=0\u0026amp;autohide=1\u0026amp;showinfo=0\u0026amp;autoplay=0\" \u003E \u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.ytimg.com\/vi\/xaAVSy8H8C8\/0.jpg\" class=\"desaturate\" width=\"0\" \/\u003E\u003C\/iframe\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/mindfulness-tv.spm-be.pt\/feeds\/6485979641595380163\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/mindfulness-tv.spm-be.pt\/2011\/12\/alan-wallace-hidden-dimensions.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6870291881467616887\/posts\/default\/6485979641595380163"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6870291881467616887\/posts\/default\/6485979641595380163"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/mindfulness-tv.spm-be.pt\/2011\/12\/alan-wallace-hidden-dimensions.html","title":"B.

Written in the nineteenth century, the Vajra Essence presents the practice of Dzogchen, the Great Perfection - the highest of all the meditation traditions - and its contents have only been revealed to those with the requisite training. With permission from his teachers, Wallace reveals here the work's opening section, which presents the methods for calming the mind and bringing it to a state of effortless concentration, the practice of shamatha. In his earlier work, Attention Revolution, Alan Wallace guided readers through the stages of traditional shamatha step by step. Here he uses the wisdom of the Dzogchen teachings to open up this practice into a space of freedom from hope and fear. He makes obscure concepts intelligible to contemporary readers and allows us to glimpse the profound realizations of a great spiritual adept, Dudjom Lingpa.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Wallace's translation of the shamatha section from Dudjom Lingpa's Dzogchen tantra known in Tibetan as the Nelug Rangjung is an invaluable contribution to the teachings available to serious Western Buddhist practitioners.\" Lama Tharchin Rinpoche.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Alan Wallace brings great wisdom and fresh insight to the teachings of one of the great masters of the Nyingma tradition, Dudjom Lingpa. His commentary is wise, thoughtful, and wonderfully compassionate.\" Tsoknyi Rinpoche.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Stilling the Mind is a much needed, very welcome book on shamatha meditation, a topic pivotal to the Buddhist path from beginning to end. With over forty years of practice and study of Buddhism coupled with a lively, ongoing exploration of Buddhism and science, Dr Wallace is uniquely qualified to bridge this timeless traditional wisdom and its contemporary Wesrtern context. I am confident that these teachings will be of immense benefit.\" Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/mindfulness-tv.spm-be.pt\/feeds\/8429555327731802410\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/mindfulness-tv.spm-be.pt\/2013\/02\/B-Alan-Wallace-Introduction-to-the-Vajra-Essence-by-Dudjom-Lingpa.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6870291881467616887\/posts\/default\/8429555327731802410"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6870291881467616887\/posts\/default\/8429555327731802410"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/mindfulness-tv.spm-be.pt\/2013\/02\/B-Alan-Wallace-Introduction-to-the-Vajra-Essence-by-Dudjom-Lingpa.html","title":"B.
