If Awakening is the end of seeking, then Liberation is the end of the seeker. Many on the path glimpse their true nature and experience what we call awakening... a moment when the veil lifts and the search collapses. But often, the subtle patterns of the seeker, the vasanas, the samskaras, the deep unconscious tendencies, continue to run quietly in the background. Liberation is not another teaching, technique, or philosophy. It is a direct pointing to what remains when the path itself dissolves… when there is no one left to practice, no ground left to stand on, and no distance between presence and the spontaneous unfolding of life. This film invites you beyond the threshold, past the initial glimpse, into the silence that is always here. Not an end, and not a beginning, but pointing to that which never began and never ends, that which was never born and never dies.

Who Was Itzhak Bentov? Itzhak "Ben" Bentov (1923–1979) was an Israeli-American inventor, engineer, scientist, mystic, and author best known for his pioneering work in consciousness studies. His insights blended physics, medicine, and metaphysics, aiming to understand human consciousness and its connection to the universe. Though largely self-taught in many fields, he had a remarkable ability to conceptualize complex ideas, making contributions to both science and spirituality.
Inventions and Scientific Contributions Bentov was a prolific inventor with multiple patents to his name. Some of his key inventions include:
Cardiac Catheter (Balloon-Tipped Catheter): One of his most well-known medical inventions, the balloon-tipped catheter, became a crucial tool in cardiovascular procedures. Harmonic Oscillator Model of the Human Body: He proposed that the human body, especially the heart and brain, functions as a resonant system, influencing consciousness and altered states of awareness. Helicopter Stabilization System: As an engineer, Bentov also worked on improving helicopter dynamics, designing stabilization technologies. Vibrational Theories of Consciousness: He developed theories on how micro-vibrations in the body could influence brain function and perception, an idea that aligns with later research in neuroscience and meditation studies. Government and Military Involvement Bentov’s research attracted interest from the U.S. government, particularly in the areas of consciousness, brainwave synchronization, and altered states of perception.
CIA and Remote Viewing (Gateway Process): His work significantly influenced the Gateway Process, a classified program run by the U.S. Army and CIA to explore consciousness expansion and remote viewing (a form of psychic espionage). His vibrational theories and understanding of brain-wave entrainment were foundational to the techniques used in the Gateway Experience, a project later detailed in declassified CIA documents. Collaboration with Monroe Institute: Bentov worked closely with Robert Monroe, a researcher famous for out-of-body experiences (OBEs). His scientific insights helped provide a framework for how Monroe’s Hemi-Sync technology worked in altering consciousness. Possible Involvement in Advanced Research Programs: While not confirmed, given his knowledge of physiological and neurological interactions with consciousness, some speculate that Bentov’s ideas contributed to early mind-machine interface research pursued by military and intelligence agencies. Philosophy and Legacy Beyond his scientific contributions, Bentov was deeply interested in the nature of reality, consciousness, and spirituality. His book Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness (1977) is a classic in consciousness studies, offering a scientific approach to metaphysical concepts. He suggested that consciousness is a fundamental force of the universe, aligning with ideas found in quantum physics and Eastern mysticism.
Tragically, Bentov’s life was cut short in 1979 when he died in the crash of American Airlines Flight 191. Despite his untimely death, his work continues to influence researchers in neuroscience, spirituality, and consciousness studies, as well as those interested in the intersection of science and mysticism.

There is no “outside.” No other system. The universe is not on a computer. It is the computer. It is the thing performing the computation. It doesn’t need anyone watching it. It doesn’t need a server farm or a control panel. It simply is what it is: a system that processes information according to its own rules. In other words, when we talk about the universe as a quantum computer, we’re not saying it’s pretending to be real. We’re saying this is what real is.

This video is part of the Theosophical Society in America’s Classics Series. Meditation on Unity. In the late 1880s Mme. Blavatsky dictated a Diagram of Meditation to one of her close students. The Diagram is meant to assist us in a process of spiritual transformation from the limited perception of our personal ego to that of the divine self. It offers a very comprehensible approach that is not limited to instructions for sitting meditation, but also includes a set of attitudes to be observed during daily life. Part of "The Living Theosophy" series. 1 of 4. Presented on October 29, 2014.

Watch the full interview: What If Science Took The Paranormal Seriously? | The Superhumanities | Prof. Jeffrey Kripal PhD
https://youtu.be/1vMPISrMyvQ
Essentia Foundation’s Hans Busstra interviews Prof. Jeffrey Kripal, PhD, who holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University in Houston, on his new book: ‘The Superhumanities, Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities.’ What if the humanities would open their horizon to more metaphysical possibilities? Prof. Kripal has written a book about a future in which the humanities study the full human. In these superhumanities, the weird, the psi—in short, the impossible—is taken seriously metaphysically: anomalous phenomena are not only regarded as subjective truths, but also as objective claims about reality. In his book, Prof. Kripal clearly shows how the nineteenth century ontology of materialism reigns in almost all of the humanities, which limits our scientific understanding of who we are as humans: there is no transcendence, the individual is nothing but a social body in spacetime, shaped by society. As Prof. Kripal likes to quip: “if there is one dogma in the humanities, it is that the truth has to be depressing.” The humanities need to expand beyond this depressing view, not because it’s depressing, but because it’s simply a half truth. We are conditioned social animals and transcendent beings. We are human and superhuman, as he argues. Interestingly, the superhumanities can build on the same foundational thinkers as the humanities. When we read the full Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, or Jacques Derrida, for instance, we see that these thinkers very much acknowledged the super. It is only the postmodern reading of their texts in academia that filters out the ecstatic. When it comes to Nietzsche, Prof. Kripal convincingly argues that the ‘crazy’ Nietzsche was perhaps the real Nietzsche, at the pinnacle of his thought. But here’s the thing: did he think his way to the vision of the Übermensch—which later unjustly got contaminated by fascism—or did he somehow receive it as a vision? According to Prof. Kripal, Nietzsche's vision should be taken much more literally than we now take it: he was talking about an actual superspecies, with superhuman capabilities. What if the humanities could scientifically investigate what happened when, for instance, Nikola Tesla had the visions that led to groundbreaking inventions? What happened when Einstein saw the principles of general relativity in a dream? Perhaps the key takeaway from Prof. Kripal's book is that, if the humanities would only dare to turn into the superhumanities, they would again become relevant for the other disciplines in academia.
