Conversations Beyond Science and Religion - Philip Comella: Recent Episodes

Philip Comella

Beyond science and religion, there is more to the story of life and the cosmos.

We’ll tackle the big questions of why we are here and where the world may be heading. From theologians and scientists to those in the school of New Thought, we’ll address the individual circumstances that led to the formation of their theories and views. Challenging common beliefs and scientific findings, host Philip Comella talks with experts and authors to find a new worldview of hope.

Conventional medical science treats the body — including the mind — as a machine. If parts of the machine fail or become diseased, the standard approach is to treat the malady with chemicals, operate on damaged parts, or destroy unwanted cells with intense radiation. At times, in the instance of acute trauma, stabilization of bodily functions, or medical emergencies, conventional medical approaches are essential and work. But for many chronic conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, or auto-immune conditions, these methods fail. The failure of conventional treatment methods is no more evident than in the area of mental health. In her new book, Sacred Psychiatry, Dr. Judy Tsafrir, a member of the faculty at Harvard Medical School, argues that in the place of total reliance upon conventional allopathic treatment methods, psychiatry should focus on a multi-modal (or holistic) approach to improving mental health. These methods encompass those based on Eastern medicine, archetypal psychology, energy healing, homeopathy, and even astrology. Despite the widespread rejection of these methods by orthodox medical science, Dr. Tsafrir has seen them work on her patients and has altered her practice accordingly. Listen in as Philip and Dr. Tsafrir discuss this slow-developing (if not inevitable) paradigm shift in psychiatric care and what it means for the future of mental health.

We are all familiar with the concept of tuning, particularly in regard to musical instruments. We know that to “stay in tune” means to play with the right pitch and to harmonize with other instruments. Even the untutored ear knows when a piano is out-of-tune: something sounds out-of-balance and disjointed. Sounds that only roughly track a melody. It turns out that when scientists started studying the universe at large they discovered a tuning on a completely different level. Indeed, the deeper scientists look, the more fine-tuned our particular universe looks. Fine-tuned, that is, to allow for the possibility of life. At this point, scientific observation crosses over into philosophical speculation and even theism. How is it possible for the big bang to have produced a universe so precisely balanced? The fine-tuning of the universe has become one of the most written-about topics in science, forming the theme of a number of best-sellers, such as The Accidental Universe by Paul Davies and the intimidating, but highly readable, The Anthropic Cosmological Principle by John Barrows and Frank Tipler. This show’s guest, Luke Barnes, is co-author of new book, A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos, that provides an open-ended and entertaining perspective on the great fine-tuning mystery. Listen in as Luke Barnes, Professor of Physics at Western Sydney University, joins Philip Comella in a no-holds barred conversation on a topic that continues to challenge many of science’s basic assumptions.

With the recent attack on Israel by Hamas and the horrors of war spread throughout the media, it might help to remember that Islam and Judaism pray to the same God. Judaism traditionally teaches that one connects with God through following the commandments, or the mitzvot.
In his new book, Transcendental Judaism: Enlivening the Eternal Within to Uplift Ourselves and Our World, David Lieberman writes that we can also experience the oneness of God through an inward journey, and hear that “still small voice.” The goal, David says, is to internalize this sense of the divine and to live our lives connected to the one God. Yes, this is idealistic, and goes beyond traditional views of Judaism. But given the current state of affairs, it seems like a message worth repeating.
Philip and David discuss what it means to transcend Judaism.

In our current mechanical worldview, we view the brain as a biochemical machine consisting of intricate particles known as neurons. As an engineer’s design and technology limit the function of a machine, so the DNA molecule limits the function of the brain. Simply put, machines do not have visions, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, spiritual awakenings, or exceed the capabilities of their in-built programming. But real-world events reported throughout history show everyone from scientists to mystics breaking through the limits of the brain to experience higher forms of consciousness, gain other-worldly inspiration, and perform super-human feats. In this show, Philip talks with Joseph Selbie, the author of the new book, Break Through the Limits of the Brain, about these historical anecdotes and how everyone has the ability to break through on their own.

Does it sometimes seem that physical objects appear from nowhere? Lost keys are later found in the first place you looked; someone you thought had died is really alive; bumps and bruises disappear overnight. Strange happenings we usually attribute to absent-mindedness or luck. But there might be another explanation for these reality shifts: perhaps they […]

The notion that we are part of one mind stands directly opposed to virtually everything we’ve been taught, which makes it a strange idea. Don’t we all have separate bodies with separate brains, disconnected creatures following our own paths? Isn’t all that matters our own personal success? On this show, Philip Mereton explores the notion […]
