Rupert Sheldrake | Intention Download TranscriptsRupert Sheldrake discusses intention as it relates to all living organisms in this engaging discussion with IONS’ Senior Scientist Dean Radin.

Join the distinguished academic psychologist Charles Tart for an insightful and humorous exploration of intention and its relationship with mindfulness, will, and enlightenment.
John Hagelin | Intention Download TranscriptsIn this interview, quantum physicist and former Presidential candidate John Hagelin explains the difference between intention and consciousness, which opens the door on a fascinating discussion of how spending time in deep meditation in the “nuclear” level of thought can multiply the efficacy of intentions.
Babaji | Intention Download TranscriptsFounder of the Sonoma Ashram in California and a teacher at the Nine Gates Mystery School, Babaji (Baba Harihar Ramji) discusses a unique perspective on intention as a state of tension in which something is desired. Through experiencing a way of being that is aligned with the greater “wholeness” of life , we can allow things to manifest naturally from a place of acceptance.
Angeles Arrien | Intention Download TranscriptsAnthropologist, educator and author, Angeles Arrien offers insights into her views on intention.

Michael Murphy | Intention Download TranscriptsIn this interview, Esalen’s co-founder Michael Murphy explores the further reaches of human potential, ranging from the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo to the bodybuilding practices of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

James O'Dea | Intention Download TranscriptsIONS President James O’Dea begins this interview by clarifying the relationship between attention and intention, thereby creating a more integral perspective that includes inner and outer transformation.

Luncheon Series on July 10th.
Edgar Mitchell | Intention Download TranscriptsThe founder of IONS has a unique vantage point to view intentionality, having witnessed and helped facilitate many new scientific studies, as well as developing a theory of quantum holography that can help explain “miraculous” results that some healers produce. In this interview, he delves into theory but also into his personal story, sharing how group healing contributed to eradicating his own cancer.
