Marjorie Woollacott, PhD, is emeritus professor of Neuroscience and Human Physiology at the University of Oregon. She is coauthor of the textbook, Motor Control: Translating Research Into Clinical Practice. She is author of Infinite Awareness: The Awakening of a Scientific Mind.

Here she describes the results of a survey in which over 300 respondents reported details of experiences that fit the pattern of a Kundalini awakening. One surprising finding was that the reports matched those found in the writings of the tenth century philosopher and theologian, Abinavagupta. She explains the classical descriptions of Kundalini and endeavors to describe how this could be conceptualized in terms of contemporary neuroscience.

Academic Taboos About ConsciousnesswithMarjorie Woollacott

May 26, 2018

Here she describes the many obstacles that researchers and scholars in academia face when endeavoring to explore human consciousness.

Spiritual AwakeningwithMarjorie Woollacott

April 15, 2018

Here she describes her early years as a scientific materialist. However, she experienced an extraordinary awakening at her first meditation retreat over forty years ago.

He acknowledges his role as a magician conjuring a world in which the human race will enter conscious communication with the spectrum of beings he refers to as “the visitors”. He frankly admits that this is not a task he can accomplish by himself. However, there is a large underground of support. He emphasizes a [...]

Phenomenology and SciencewithJacob W. Glazier (4K Reboot)

December 16, 2025

He discusses a constellation of philosophical perspectives – going back to Nietzsche, Husserl, and Heidegger – and their implications for science in general and parapsychology in particular. The discussion is also peppered with references to feminism, psychoanalysis, marginalized social groups, post-structuralism, and the European Enlightenment. He points out that William James was, essentially, a phenomenologist.

How Our Minds Decide Who to BelievewithKarl Friston

February 20, 2026

In this conversation, Karl Friston unpacks epistemic trust in everyday terms—how our brains decide who to learn from and what to believe amid deepfakes, polarized media, and belonging needs. We explore why “learning gates” open with felt safety and shared narratives, how attachment histories bias trust, and why body signals are critical red flags for [...]

Imagery and the AlphabetwithLeonard Shlain, MD (1937 – 2009)

July 15, 2023

In ancient times, says Leonard Shlain, human societies universally worshipped the image of a goddess. Sometime about 5,000 years ago a massive shift occurred in which the gender of the diety changed. He presents his hypothesis that this change is related to the introduction of the alphabet and its effects upon the human brain. He [...]
