Space, Time and Consciousness

Lama Alan · Bernard Carr · 145 minutes · recorded January 1, 2016

An evening dialogue between Lama Alan Wallace and the cosmologist Bernard Carr, a doctoral student of Stephen Hawking. Carr speaks first: what is missing from the triumphant picture of physics is our own mind, which needs a higher dimensional space beyond that of ordinary physics. Lama Alan answers with three dimensions of consciousness and a contemplative observatory opened to scientists from day one. They differ once, over Buddhism classed as a religion, and close on cosmic cycles and consciousness conserved.
