About this Panel:

This Panel will explore:


• Why there has historically appeared to be a major "divide" between "science" and "spirituality & consciousness" 


• How this is changing now in our globalizing civilization, and why


• What can we learn from the dramatic new information now available on the spiritual experiences of major mainstream scientists and how this is affecting their lives and work and that of science itself
