Humanity Rising Day 767
Science & Consciousness - Building evidence that consciousness exists outside of the brain
Dr Peter Merry and Dr Wolfhardt Janu were part of the team that won the prize from the Institute for Noetic Science for designing an experiment that demonstrates that consciousness exists beyond the brain. In this session they will describe that experiment, as well as their latest research findings using leading edge consciousness technology. Peter and Wolf are co-founders of Wyrd Research and Wyrd Technologies.

Dr. Peter Merry is core faculty for the Hack the World courses. Peter is co-founding Chief Innovation Officer at Ubiquity, co-founder of Wyrd Experience and Wyrder Tech, and initiator of the Broughton Science and Consciousness conferences.
He has worked in and across different sectors. As well as co-founding and leading the organisations above, his experience includes facilitating integral change processes in multinational corporations, government ministries, and in multistakeholder initiatives with global stakeholders. Peter has also spent many years in the not-for-profit sector. He is a recognised expert in the field of evolutionary systems dynamics and Spiral Dynamics Integral. His first book was published in English and Dutch (Evolutionary Leadership, 2005) and his second in 2019 (Why Work? on designing work for people and planet. His third book on 12 principles for working with the energy of land and organisations (Leading from the Field) came out at the end of November 2020. He has an MSc in Human Ecology from Edinburgh University and a PhD from Ubiquity’s Wisdom School on volution theory (see https://volutiontheory.net). His personal website is https://petermerry.org.
Dr. Wolfhardt Janu is core faculty for the Hack your World courses. He holds a PhD in chemistry and worked for 10 years in academic research. He then moved to be a freelancer in software and hardware development for customized laboratory solutions.
At the same time he set up his own private laboratory to investigate the relationship between matter and consciousness, his main scientific interest for 25 years. Together with his colleagues and friends he developed a new method to scan the output of two random number event generators (REG’s) for correlations, which enables one to detect with high precision changes in a non-local field, mainly known as the field of consciousness. On his journey, he has been practicing Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu for 19 years, discovered African Shamanism (Sangoma) and (co-)led several private scientific teams investigating the “paranormal” in theory and practice. In 2007 he got to know the work of Ken Wilber and since then he and his team(s) have been using the Integral map as the main tool to navigate and communicate on the margins of the so-called “unknown”. Wolfhardt Janu is married, has two children and lives in Austria.

Humanity Rising Day 768
Science & Consciousness: Children’s Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World
Mainstream materialist culture often assumes children as discrete biological machines, as unformed adult human beings, without capacities for contributing to our understanding of life. Children’s unexplained experiences – those which defy materialist definitions of space, time and reality – challenge these assumptions. Often, children experience naturally occurring phenomena such as so-called imaginary companions and realities, telepathy, premonitions, peak and out of body experiences. Such experiences are often construed as disorder or fantasy, and responded to in ways that can generate unnecessary suffering for children. Collaborative research with children shows how their experiences, insights and intuitions can meet with emerging post-materialist ideas in scientific and philosophical scholarship. Children and their unexplained experiences call for an interrogation of mainstream materialism and can contribute to wider social transformation. In this talk, I will discuss these ideas, arguing for new ways of thinking about and being with children, as beings-in-their-own-right and in their ‘becomings’ as our future generation.

Humanity Rising Day 769
Science & Consciousness: Spirituality and Time
Many people have experienced emergency situations in which time slows down drastically. ‘Time Expansion Experiences’ may also occur in the ‘zone’ experiences of athletes, in deep meditation, or under the influence of psychedelics. In some states of consciousness - such as mystical or near-death experiences - time seems to disappear altogether, of to become spatial, so that the whole the past and future rest alongside the present. Dr. Steve Taylor will describe his research into these experiences, as well as discuss their implications. Is it possible to explain why they occur? What do they tell us about human consciousness and the nature of reality?

Humanity Rising Day 770
Science & Consciousness: The (E)Volution of Time
In this session, Dr Peter Merry will introduce how our experience of time has evolved through the eras and how we are now entering a period of integrating linear and non-linear time. Dr. Calen Rayne will build on that. He says" "As I continue my theoretical musings on the nature of time, might we consider a new space time continuum based on Rayne frequencies, a series of numbers I first generated ten years ago by combining alternating Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. This has led me to an exploration of "teleparallel" gravity and Quipus (Khipus), the ancient recording devices of the Andes. Lots of twists and turns on this journey down the rabbit hole..."

Humanity Rising Day 771
Science & Consciousness: Freedom from Time
The modern Western perspective has us gripped by time. Teaching us that time moves in a linear way, like an arrow. This means that our future is always defined by our past actions, and we are trapped in fate, repeating the same family imprints, believing in the same narratives. At this critical time – at the crossroads of our planetary existence, the greatest knowing that we can offer to this generation and the generations to come is our innate ability to transform things outside of time before they are born in infinity - before they are born into the finite.
During the conference, you will have several opportunities to experiment with the fluidity of time. Dr. Paula Petry will join Dr. David Vernon, who conducts research on training outside of linear time (his affiliations etc ….) , and will lead you on shamanic journeys, helping you to connect through all your senses to rewrite your own future outcomes. Sound equipment used by the Monroe Institute, shown to help people shift their state of consciousness, along with the traditional rattle, will be incorporated as a transport into non-ordinary consciousness.

As you can see, we are designing Humanity Rising to be reiterative. We will continue to come together around strategy, new mindsets and effective solutions through the end of August. In September, we will assess where the world is, what issues are critical to address, and how we can more effectively work together in the spirit of radical collaboration.
