Magic and Science with Dean Radin

Dean Radin, PhD, is chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science in Novato, California. He is author of The Conscious Universe, Entangled Minds, Supernormal, and Real Magic.

He discusses his experiments with magicians and meditators, revealing evidence that consciousness can subtly influence light, matter, and even biological systems.

Autopoiesis and the Laws of Form with Terry Marks-Tarlow

Terry Marks-Tarlow, PhD, is a clinical psychologist. She is author of Mirrors of the Mind: Psychotherapist as Artist; Clinical Intuition in Psychotherapy; Awakening Clinical Intuition; Psyche’s Veil: Psychotherapy, Fractals, and Complexity; and Creativity Inside Out. She is coeditor of two anthologies – Simultaneity: Temporal Structures and Observer Perspectives; and A Fractal Epistemology for a Scientific Psychology.

In this conversation, she explores the profound implications of autopoiesis and the mathematics of Laws of Form. She discusses how living systems maintain their boundaries while engaging with paradox, recursion, and the role of consciousness in creating distinctions. According to her, these ideas bridge biology, psychology, and mysticism, pointing toward the interconnection of all life and the generative power of paradox.

The Living Psychology of Carl Jung with Gary Bobroff

He is the founder of Jungian Online, a global client referral service, and JUNG Archademy, which offers live video courses for personal growth. With degrees from the University of British Columbia and Pacifica Graduate Institute, Gary has spent over two decades bringing Jungian thought to life in ways that are both accessible and soulfully resonant. He’s the author of CropCircles, Jung, and the Re-Emergence of the Archetypal Feminine, as well as the bestselling Knowledge in a Nutshell: Carl Jung. Whether through writing, teaching, or speaking around the world, Gary helps illuminate how depth psychology can guide us through times of personal and collective change.

Here Gary explores the enduring relevance of Carl Jung’s psychology, emphasizing psyche as part of nature. Shadow work, archetypes, and synchronicity emerge as essential guides for navigating our fragmented world. Toni Wolff’s often-overlooked archetypal contributions are highlighted for their contemporary importance. Drawing on his own research, Bobroff connects Jungian frameworks with Tibetan Buddhist psychology. The conversation reveals how Jung’s legacy continues to inspire resilience, meaning, and integration today.

The Illusion of Separation with Jonathan Bricklin

Jonathan Bricklin, former program director of the New York Open Center, is a scholar of William James. He has written numerous academic papers and two acclaimed books: The Illusion of Will, Self, and Time: William James’s Reluctant Guide to Enlightenment, which explores James’s philosophy of consciousness. He lives in New York City, where he continues to investigate the frontiers of philosophy and consciousness studies.

Jonathan Bricklin shares his transformative mystical experience that dissolved his sense of separation and led him toward the philosophy of William James. He explains how states of pure consciousness, beyond self, will, and time, reveal a deeper unity underlying existence. Drawing from both personal experience and James’s radical empiricism, Bricklin discusses free will, precognition, and the timeless ground of being.
