Consciousness & Healing: The Unfolding Vision (No CE)


Larry Dossey, MD


Human health and illness in the 20th century were overwhelmingly viewed through the lens of physicality and the proper functioning of the body. A major transition in this perspective has arisen as a consequence of new findings such as the human biofield and the nonlocal manifestations of consciousness. These discoveries are not only leading to new therapies; they also challenge our basic understanding of the nature of consciousness, including its origins and destiny. Larry will discuss these developments, with reference to recent findings in mainstream science and clinical medicine.

Define the major eras in medical science, beginning with the transition of medicine into a scientific discipline.
Describe the materialistic view of the origin and destiny of consciousness.
Describe 3 attributes of a nonlocal view of consciousness.
