The Janki Foundation Lecture 2015 – Neville Hodgkinson reviews science that portrays us as conscious agents who shape material reality – including our brains – rather than material beings who happen to have developed consciousness. A scientific revolution is in the offing, pointing to a post-materialist understanding capable of liberating human hearts and minds from the prison of our former ways of thinking. The old belief system separated us from our higher nature, inducing fear and robbing our lives of meaning. The new understanding points to an almost limitless creative capacity within us – providing we free the heart from past hurts, and stay absorbed in spiritual love.
