Matter, Mind & Consciousness
"We may be seeing the reintegration of consciousness that will be not on the basis of any single understanding of reality but to understand that we need to move between different scientific and imaginative vocabularies. The idea of not ever falling into the illusion that one particular interpretation of reality is reality itself but being constantly open to the fact that we are always speaking symbolically, metaphorically about a mystery. And so we have to keep a kind of humility, a kind of
epistemological modesty as we approach the mystery of things" — RICHARD TARNAS *
EMERGE
An independent media platform, exploring unchartered intellectual, spiritual or cultural terrain that invites new ways of being, thinking and doing.
We are at a fork in the road. Two kinds of possible future for humanity are likely: further entropy and collapse, or the emergence of a higher-order system that is more complex and elegant than our current one. We celebrate people, their networks, their wisdom and their initiatives. Diversity of perspectives and openness to audacious thinking from across the system-changer ecosphere, are our core strengths.
ALEF Trust is a global leader in transformative education and training in consciousness, transpersonal and spiritual psychology.

A Course in Consciousness or
Self awareness
A deconstructing intellectual exploration of Reality - dissecting, questioning and analysing it systematically. It is not the intention to comprise a new belief system, either to be adopted or rejected. Because Reality cannot be described in words, the words are meant to be used as pointers to Reality rather than as descriptors of reality. Hence, this is a course in seeing, not in believing.
