36 world-changing travel moments

Posted on by

Rarely do three letters conjure such relief in the minds of hungry, homesick travelers. The world's first ATM was unveiled in 1967 at Barclays Bank in Enfield, London. The machine was created by John Shepherd Barron, who headed up the invention team at De La Rue Instruments, and worked by cashing radioactive checks. It was a little more than forty years ago that a call was made from the first handheld mobile phone by its creator, Martin Cooper. Now, it's rare not to be constantly interrupted by the bleeps and vibrations of this pocket-sized computer.

An FDA panel is currently reviewing a procedure that would allow a child to inherit genetic material from three different people.

If that sounds like one too many to you, congratulations! Your moral intuition is more highly developed than that of many scientific researchers.

The procedure, pioneered at Oregon Health and Science University, involves replacing defective mitochondria in a woman's egg with healthy mitochondria from another woman.

To understand the controversy, you have to understand that every human carries two kinds of DNA: chromosomal DNA, the iconic "double helix," to which both your father and mother contribute equally, and mitochondrial DNA, which serves as the power source in cells and is only passed on by your mother.

If this proposed procedure is approved, the result would be children with DNA from three different people.

Not surprisingly, this procedure is being justified as a therapeutic measure. As the Washington Post put it, "scientists think [the procedure] could help women who carry DNA mutations for conditions such as blindness and epilepsy."

BRUNSWICK Celtic Wisdom will be the topic of a Lenten Study Group meeting Wednesdays during Lent at 10 a.m. at the Church of the Good Samaritan in Brunswick.

The class will meet in the chapel or the parlor at Pilgrim House, 9 Cleaveland St., through April 16.

Open to the public and led by Vicar David Bellville, the class will examine the early and later origins of Celtic spirituality. Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom, by John ODonohue, will be used as a study guide.

ODonohue is an Irish poet and Catholic scholar. Anam Cara (Gaelic for soul friend) takes readers through the landscape of Celtic spirituality. It invites readers into the world of spirituality where there is no distance between oneself and the eternal.

The Celts never separate the visible from the invisible, the human from the divine, and believe that in all things there is a soul. Many persons are discovering the depth and vibrancy of Celtic spirituality, the wisdom of the past and the roots of Celtic spirituality, said Bellville in a news release.

The Church of the Good Samaritan, an inclusive church in the Anglican tradition, meets Sundays at 4 p.m. for evening prayer or Eucharist in the chapel.

Blending science and spirituality

Posted on by

Amit Goswami, Ph.D., is no stranger to thinking on another level. Melding quantum physics with philosophy and spirituality, he has gained a following of those who believe that the key to enlightenment can be found in theories often relegated to the laboratory. Made famous by his appearance in the documentary What the Bleep Do We Know?, Goswami has taken his theories around the world.

Goswamis talk this weekend is titled "Quantum Creativity in the Time of Crisis and Paradigm Shifts.

VCREPORTER: What does it mean to be "quantum conscious"?

DR. AMIT GOSWAMI: It is the ability to live in two domains of reality, a domain of potentiality which is unconscious and a manifest domain where we have subject-object awareness.

What does it mean to go from the "primacy of matter to the primacy of consciousness"? Does this reflect a need to move from materialism?

Scientific materialism is based on the idea that all are matter and material interaction in space and time. Instead, quantum physics says there is the domain of potentiality outside of space and time where we now have experimental evidence that communication is instantaneous. This interconnectedness, details show, is our capacity of knowing consciousness. When consciousness chooses from the material possibilities, actuality collapses and we have subject-object awareness. So we say consciousness is primary, manifest matter is created from it.

In your book Quantum Creativity you discuss the aha! insight. What is the "aha!" insight?

A discontinuous transition in thought comes with a surprise, hence the aha. Quantum physics explains this as a quantum leap of thought. It is similar to the quantum leap that electrons make when they go from one atomic orbit to another.

How do you meld science with philosophy?
