Thoughtful viewers, today on Science and Spirituality we present the first in a three-part series featuring acclaimed British scientist, author, visionary and lecturer Dr. Jude Currivan, who has learned that science and spirituality can be viewed as two sides of the same coin.

Having experienced multi-dimensional realities since the age of four, Dr. Currivan was guided to pursue a career that integrates the latest developments in science, universal and ancient wisdom and new revelations about a conscious universe with no boundaries between science, spirituality and everything else.

After conducting research in ancient cosmologies, Dr. Currivan received her Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK. She also holds an M.A. in physics from Oxford University, UK with a specialization in cosmology and quantum physics. Dr. Currivan is the author of “The Wave,” “The 8th Chakra” and “CosMos.” In addition, in 2008 she co-authored the CD set “Heart, Mind and Purpose,” which highlights her teachings. Her books have been published in over 14 languages.

Dr. Currivan’s work involves empowering others, raising awareness and facilitating global harmony, creativity, sustainability and wholeness. She speaks regularly at global conferences, and appears on US and UK media outlets. Now let’s hear from Dr. Currivan about how she began her search to comprehend the inner workings of nature and the universe.

I was four years old and growing up in the North of England in a very working class area and environment, when a discarnate light literally came into my bedroom. And that really began a lifelong quest for me to answer two questions. One: How the cosmos is as it is. And second, and perhaps most importantly, why is the cosmos is as it is? And so I became very interested in ancient wisdom and also science from a very early age.

And for me they were never separate. They were always two halves of the same coin, or two faces of the same coin. Science was trying to understand how the universe or cosmos is as it is using scientific methods. But also, I was experiencing how the world is and that led me to the deeper question of, “Why is the world as it is?” And that's the journey I followed ever since.

After this auspicious beginning, Dr. Currivan pursued academic knowledge and a career in business, which she views as a practical, educational phase of her life that helped enhance her skills and understanding.

And so I studied science, I studied ancient wisdom, I went to university and did a master's degree in physics and specialized in quantum physics and cosmology. And then I went into the world of business for a whole raft of reasons, but I think that, when I now look back, I have a very strong sense that for all of us, nothing's wasted. I studied for a Ph.D. in archeology because I wanted to have a credibility to explain ancient wisdom, ancient cosmologies, ancient ways of looking at the world, universal wisdom, perennial wisdom that's as relevant today as it was 2,000 or 5,000 or however many thousands of years ago.

And somehow bring that all together with the leading edge science that was really beginning to go beyond what I feel had been a limiting perspective of the world for a long time. So what my work does now is it brings together leading edge science, universal and ancient wisdom, and new revelation, and sets that in a context of a conscious universe, of a conscious cosmos, where there is no separation between spirituality and science. There's no separation even between body and mind, body and soul.

It's an emerging vision where everything is becoming integrated and it's an empowering vision because what it's showing us and its discoveries are showing us is that we are not just the creation of a cosmos, we are a co-creator of our realities. And that I think is incredibly important to this moment. Because that old limited way of looking at the world as materialistic, and essentially random and meaningless, has bought us to the edge of an abyss, has bought us to the edge of a global breakdown.

As a scientist, especially in the quantum theory, could you explain more about non-locality and quantum entanglements. How does physics explain that our intentions create our reality individually and collectively as a human race?

I would say at the moment that quantum physics is in a dilemma, because it's an unfinished revolution. Essentially, nearly a century ago now, there were two amazingly powerful insights into the physical world. One was insights into the world of the very small, the quantum world, the world of the minute subatomic world. And the other insight that was happening around the same time was the insights of Albert Einstein into the large-scale world of space and time.

And both were crucial insights, but neither spoke to the other. Quantum physics is very good and was very good from the beginning of beginning to describe the world at the tiniest level. But it has no concept of space or time. And the large-scale world, the relativistic world of Einstein isn't quantized, and so the two don't speak to each other. The two haven't spoken to each other. They'd rather be like strangers dancing round each other for almost a century now. And the last period of time, the last 80 or so years has been trying to get them to come together and so far without success. Because I feel that there's a massive piece of the equation that's missing.

And that is consciousness and the reason for that is that when the quantum physicists were starting to get the insights to the quantum world, it became very clear that one of the basic tenets of the scientific method, which is to separate the observer and that which is observed, had to be thrown out of the way.

Because what became clear is that when we observe something, we affect it. We influence it. We alter it. We cannot not do that. That is intrinsic to our observation. It's even intrinsic to our intention to observe or to measure. And so we cannot separate the observer and the observed. But the other deep insight of quantum physics, that again was barely understood, was this phenomenon called “non-locality,”

For Einstein, nothing could go faster than the speed of light. That was the whole basis really of relativistic theory. And yet, here we were in the quantum world, having situations where two particles, and firstly, it was a theoretical presumption that just came out of quantum physics because nobody had the experimental ability to prove it. But nonetheless, quantum physics, quantum theory said categorically that if two particles were created as twins, then they could be separated for whatever distance and if at whatever timeframe, not just separate in space, but separate in time.

And what that so-called non-locality showed is that quantum particles, even though they may be separated by millions of miles, or millions of years, and this is what very few people really understand, can nonetheless be non-locally connected as a single entity. Because literally, there is no signal that goes between them. So on a deeper level of reality, they are conjoined.

Now eventually theory became experimental reality in the 1980s, when it was shown that indeed non-locality is a real phenomenon. But then the physicists said, "Well that's fine, but it's got to be limited to the quantum world. It's got nothing to do with everyday life."

Dr. Currivan will next elaborate on how advancements in physics in recent decades have increased our understanding of the intimate interconnectedness of all elements in the universe.

But over the years, experimental techniques improved to the extent that organic molecules have now been able to be non-locally entangled. And when you get to the scale of an organic molecule, you're so big compared to quantum, that essentially and theoretically there should be no limit to the scale of non-locality. And what is now, I think, far more exciting than arguments about scale of non-locality is a growing accumulating evidence of our consciousness being connected on non-local levels.

In many different experiments and what's called meta-analysis of experiments. In other words, thousands of experiments pull together and statistically analyzed to show whether something is real or not, something is significant or not, has shown that psi-phenomena effects, such as telepathy and remote viewing are non-locally real. In other words, we are able to be, and we are indeed interconnected on non-local levels.

So we're not just talking about the quantum phenomenon here. We're talking progressively, and this is something that leading edge science is becoming more and more accepting of. The entire universe, essentially, is non-locally interconnected at its most fundamental level. We truly are a whole world. And what that is very important for is actually progressively showing that there is ultimately no separation between me and you, and me and we, and us and the Earth, and the Earth and our solar system, our galaxy.

Ultimately, our entire universe is an integral entity and is undergoing a process of evolutionary development as a single entity. So non-locality, at the beginning was almost an inconvenience to the quantum physicists. And this whole concept of observer/observed was almost an inconvenience. Those two are the keys now to a much greater and deeper understanding of the nature of reality itself.

Dr. Currivan, we thank you for your profound insights on the interplay between modern science, ancient wisdom and human consciousness. You, and other scientists like yourself, are playing an important role in informing people that there is far more to the universe than just the physical surroundings we perceive.

Please join us next Monday on Science and Spirituality for the continuation of our three-part interview with Dr. Currivan. Genial viewers, thank you for your presence today on our program. Coming up next is Words of Wisdom, after Noteworthy News. May the world always live as one united family.

Welcome, reflective viewers, to this week’s edition of Science and Spirituality, featuring the second in our three-part series on acclaimed British scientist, author, visionary and lecturer Dr. Jude Currivan, who has learned that science and spirituality can be viewed as two sides of the same coin.

Having experienced multi-dimensional realities since the age of four, Dr. Currivan was guided to pursue a career that integrates the latest developments in science, universal and ancient wisdom and new revelations about a conscious universe with no boundaries between science, spirituality and everything else. After conducting research in ancient cosmologies, Dr. Currivan received her Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK. She also holds an M.A. in physics from Oxford University with a specialization in cosmology and quantum physics.

Last week, Dr. Currivan discussed her background and her growth in understanding about the nature of the cosmos. She also presented ideas on how modern theories in physics are beginning to show how human consciousness is intimately intertwined with the physical universe, a phenomenon called “non-local interconnection,” which has long been understood by the world’s great spiritual traditions. Let’s now continue our interview with Dr. Currivan to learn more about this fascinating subject.

The information of our universe has been held on its boundary, not within it, what we call space, three-dimensional space, but on its boundary, rather like the surface, the spherical surface of a black hole. And so what's been realized is that just as in a hologram, where we have a two-dimensional representation of information, that when light flows through it, a three-dimensional object is recreated. This holographic principle is being used now on the leading edge of cosmology as a way of modeling our universe.

Scientific understanding of the holographic nature of the universe requires viewing reality as a product of our own conscious thoughts and intentions.

Now if information is at the very root of what we call reality, then essentially, we need to take a step further back and understand that it's conscious intention that is creating our realities. That consciousness pervades everything, is everything. It's not even relevant to talk about the separation of mind and spirit and body, because all they are, are different aspects of the same whole.

As a cosmologist for many, many years, my perception has been that there are fundamental interconnections between people and places that work out on energetic and conscious levels. And I found that time and time and time again, that we have connections between people and places. And there are certain hotspots on the surface of Gaia, and think of Gaia, think of the Earth as a living consciousness. It’s very different from our own individuator consciousness, for sure, but we have to really now start to expand our awareness beyond just the human understanding, beyond the personality understanding.

Speech and thoughts and actions actually on a collective level can influence and can create, reality around us.

And that’s not just the energy field of humanity, it’s the energy field of Gaia herself, of which we are an intrinsic part. So what’s been known on a spiritual level for many years is now being proven to be the case. That we do affect other people and when we send out love that helps. That opens people up, that’s a higher vibration, but when we either fear or we hate, then that is a lower vibration, and that too has influence and effect. And so the more that we can raise our vibration, become more coherent in a feeling of love, then that raises the whole vibration of our collective.

We need to take this breath out that goes from the individual to the family to the nation to the collective to Gaia to our solar system and on beyond that. And as we move from that level of our personality, as we grow and awaken and expand our awareness to transpersonal levels, we both see and understand and experience that whole world. We experience that non-local interconnectivity.

And we begin to experience multidimensional realities. What we believe we see, what we do not believe, what we cannot imagine, we literally do not see. And there is a shift taking place, individually and collectively; as we do wake up, we’re beginning to open our awareness to other possibilities. We’re beginning to see things that we did not see before because of those self-imposed limitations.

Transcending our traditional, three-dimensional way of viewing the world will move humankind into a new reality.

So, as we begin to develop or to cultivate this new way of thinking to turn around into the light as it were, are you saying that is a connection that we’ll see worldwide if we start to shift in our consciousness?

I feel we are seeing the shift worldwide. We’re literally moving as part of the shift into what I call “mythic reality.” We are living mythic reality. This is a time of miracles and synchronicities and waves of change that are coming through us and we can make that shift, we can live that shift as gracefully and as lovingly as possible or hold on to limited ideas of control and ego-based perception of reality.

Dr. Currivan was inspired to travel the world to find evidence relating to the coming change in human awareness. She visited places where she says the Lemurians, a race of people who are said to have lived on the Earth’s surface tens of thousands of years ago but are now underground, placed “solar discs” to help humanity remember we are connected with the rest of the universe.

In your book, “The 13th Step,” you described a pilgrimage to the ancient artifacts around the world. Would you tell us a little bit about that? What it means?

Well, back in 1998, I was given a spiritual download, of really the years to come. And at that point, there were 13, 14 years or so until the end of the Mayan Calendar which ends on the December solstice of 2012. And I was given an understanding that around the world there were 12 multi-dimensional artifacts that had been positioned around the planetary energy grid that were ready to be activated for the shift that is now.

And that they’d been positioned there during Lemurian times around 39,000 years ago. Now as people probably appreciate, that came as quite a shock to me. And I really needed a lot of validation because as far I was aware, nobody else was being given this sort of information. But I trusted the information. I trusted it enough to really begin what was a pilgrimage to the sites that I’ve been told about.

And the validation was that when I had my first intimation of this information that within about three or four weeks, there were so many synchronicities that played into the information that I’ve been given that essentially it just felt right, that I needed to go forward and see what would come. And so I began this pilgrimage, this global pilgrimage that began in Egypt in 2001, and then went from there to South Africa, and China, and Peru and Alaska, and New Zealand, literally all around the world.

Before I went though, what I did was I literally located each of the 12 sites as far as I had any understanding of them at that stage, and it didn’t all come at once. It unfolded over time. But I positioned them as well as I could on a map of the Earth, and I was truly amazed, to realize that they could be positioned such that each of them anchored one of the 12 faces of the planetary energy grid that Plato had originally talked about.

Plato had originally said and many geomancers now agree, that the energy field of the Earth, of Gaia is in, has twelve faces. It’s a dodecahedron. And when I positioned these 12 sites that spirit had told me about and which I hadn’t known about until then, each of them was able to be located on a different face of a 12-fold geometry overlying the Earth. And I sometimes describe those journeys as a hero’s journey. In myth and legend, they are classical journeys where an ordinary person gets a call to do something extraordinary.

And if they answer that call, it changes them forever and essentially that’s what happened to me. And not just to me but also having subsequently written the book, “The 13th Step,” that tells the true story of those journeys and what we learned from them, what I learned from them, that is common to us all about our own awakening, about the shift, about what’s happening in 2012 and beyond. Then I was able to share that with many, many more people.

And the feedback I’ve had from people who’ve read the book is very much that they feel it’s their journey and that they’ve learned so much about themselves through reading it, and it truly is. You don’t need to go around the world, you don’t need to undertake this great pilgrimage. You can stay in your own home, it’s an inner journey of self-discovery and awareness, and so that was what it was all about, but what I learned through it about the shift was very much about the reality, the significance of 2012.

Once again, Dr. Currivan, we thank you for your profound insights on the interaction of modern science, ancient wisdom and the evolution of human consciousness. You and your colleagues play an important role in informing us that our perspectives need to be expanded to encompass the entire universe and that our conscious intentions create the reality around us.

Please join us again next Monday for Science and Spirituality and the last of our three-part series on Dr. Jude Currivan. Genial viewers, thank you for your presence today on our program. Coming up next is Words of Wisdom, after Noteworthy News. May humanity forever reach for the stars and beyond.

Greetings, insightful viewers, and welcome to Science and Spirituality, featuring the last in our three-part series on acclaimed British scientist, author, visionary and teacher Dr. Jude Currivan, who has learned that science and spirituality can be viewed as two aspects of the same whole.

Having experienced multi-dimensional realities since the age of four, Dr. Currivan was guided to pursue a career that integrates the latest developments in physics, universal and ancient wisdom and new revelations about a conscious universe with no boundaries between science, spirituality and everything else.

After completing her doctoral research in ancient cosmologies, Dr. Currivan received a Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK. She also holds an M.A. in physics from Oxford University with a specialization in cosmology and quantum physics. Dr. Currivan is also the author of “The Wave,” “The 8th Chakra,” and “The 13th Step” as well as “HOPE- Healing Our People and Earth,” which is to be released in July 2011. Her books have been published in over 14 languages.

We can’t afford fear anymore. And the beauty of the shift is we’re being offered the opportunity to transcend it, not to deny it, not to run away from it, but to literally heal it within ourselves. And the most incredible future beckons if we’re willing to take that leap of faith into love; that’s what we’re all about.

Last week, Dr. Currivan spoke about how recent developments in physics show that human consciousness and intention are intimately linked with the physical universe, a phenomenon known as “non-local interconnection,” which has long been understood by the world’s spiritual traditions.

Today she’ll conclude her discussion with more insights on the changes predicted to begin on Earth in December 2012, ancient connections to these transformations, and how we can heal ourselves and our planet by overcoming fear, recognizing everything and everyone as part of the web of life, and embracing love. Let’s now hear the conclusion of our interview with Dr. Currivan, as she begins with the coming shift from individual to universal consciousness.

It’s transcending the limitations of our ego-based awareness, and literally growing up to become aware of the unity of all that is, and that we are God, that we are microcosms of God, of cosmic mind, and that nothing and no one is separate, that we are all ultimately one.

And that was the lesson, that was the learning, that was the experience that I write about in “The 13th Step,” and that was the experience that led me to an understanding and to an activation, not just of the planetary grid of Gaia, which opened a galactic portal for 2012, but also to the understanding not just of the 8th chakra, but of a 12- and a 13-chakra system, all levels of awareness that literally when they’re all activated, manifest the galactic human that people are talking about.

You mentioned how civilization or the human consciousness would evolve in waves.

I feel that civilization has moved forward in waves. (It) is perhaps a reflection of something that is far, far more fundamental, which is that when we talk about a conscious Cosmos, consciousness expresses itself as energy, and all energy, regardless of their form can be expressed as waves.

Everything that we call reality can be mathematically described as wave forms. And waves, of course, have wavelengths, and they begin, they peak, and they fall away. And they embody information, they embody consciousness. Consciousness expressed as energy, energy expressed as waves; all that we call reality is the interconnectivity of all of those waves on every scale, from the most minute to the greatest.

And so, consciousness expressing itself is also naturally expressing waves, whether it's the rise and the fall of a civilization, or whether it's how astrologists describe our personality through literally the wave forms that the planetary bodies make. So everything that we call reality can be considered as interacting waves of energy that itself fundamentally embodies consciousness.

The shift to universal consciousness will require humans to remain open to change no matter how challenging it may be.

And as more and more discoveries come to light, what is really key for each of us is we’re open to those. We don’t say, “That’s not true, it can’t be true,” because there’s going to be some stuff that comes to light that we’re not comfortable with, which is exactly the case for an individual for healing. It’s the shadow stuff, the uncomfortable stuff that we don’t want to acknowledge, that we don’t want to own. But to heal, to release, to transcend that sense of duality, we need to acknowledge it.

And I feel that that is a really crucial part of what we’re going through now. We need to know perhaps for the first time in our human story, who we really are. And that includes not just our human heritage, but if it’s truly the case that extraterrestrials have a part to play in our human past, which many people now do perceive that to be the case, we need to acknowledge it. We don’t need to fear it, but we need to acknowledge it.

Because ultimately, if we’re able to be open in our hearts as well as our minds and acknowledge what is being understood and discovered, what is true will remain and what isn’t will just fall away. But what it does is it offers us the opportunity to literally remember who we really are.

Dr. Currivan adds that knowledge of past civilizations can help humanity to overcome its fears and experience freedom and healing in the coming age.

I think there are a number of ways in which our understanding of the past can help us release the fear, release the traumas and therefore heal. One is in the deep past and is probably fundamental. Another is in the more recent past but is nonetheless fundamental to what’s still playing out. If we go to the deep past, now there are more and more discoveries that are suggesting that what are being termed as myths of Lemuria or Atlantis may be real.

But I think there’s a deeper myth that may yet prove to be true. And that is the myth of the Sumerian records that talk about extraterrestrial beings called Anunnaki, which in Sumerian meant “those from heaven to earth came.” Because the Sumerians relate their history and their involvement with these extraterrestrial beings not as myth, not as legend but as true. And the Sumerians describe these beings as being Draconian, dragon-like. And it’s always been absolutely fascinating to me how around the world, and I’ve traveled to nearly 70 countries, how around the world there is a very pervasive recognition of dragons, mythic beings.

And I think the very fact that these stories are so pervasive and common to many, many different traditions and the way in which the Sumerian records deal with this extraterrestrial involvement I think is something that really we now need to be open to and we need to find out the truth of. Now it may be that it is purely symbolic, but my own research and my own perception, my own experience suggests that it’s far more fundamental than that. And coming to terms not only that there may have been extensive extraterrestrial involvement in our past but also the Sumerians go further than that.

They actually say that the Anunnaki genetically modified early hominids to create what we now call modern humans. Are we in some way within our genetic structure a hybrid of an earth-based race and an extraterrestrial race? Time will tell. But I think that’s something that’s fundamental to our psyche. And the fact that we don’t know, but that more and more people are feeling a deep truth to this. I think something will come out, one way or another.

Finally, we asked Dr. Currivan for her perspective on the relationship between the global trend of more and more people embracing the plant-based diet and the shift to universal consciousness.

We have a web of life; every thread affects every other thread. In a hologram, every piece of the hologram reflects every other piece. So what’s happening as we go through this shift is our entire consciousness is shifting, like a wave, like a tidal wave of consciousness moving forward. And as we wake up, as our awareness expands beyond the limits of our personality, which it is doing because this shift, when we see the waves on the ocean surface, they move because that vast body of water beneath them is moving.

There are vast, unstoppable tides of change moving through that oceanic volume, just as there are vast tides of change moving through our collective psyche and that does mean that inevitably we are beginning to overcome our fears. We’re literally journeying from fear to love. As we begin to overcome our fears, as we begin to feel that interconnection, experience that interconnection, either consciously or subconsciously, we just don’t want the things we wanted before.

They just don’t feel right. We don’t feel called to them, we feel called to something else. We don’t want to have a lifestyle that is consumer driven, or cruel or violent. We naturally move to something that is more compassionate, more generous, more interconnected. We’re literally moving into the level of awareness of the universal heart, the eighth chakra.

Once again, Dr. Currivan, thank you for your thoughtful insights on the interplay of modern science, ancient wisdom and the evolution of human consciousness. In line with your vision, we too see humanity become ever more benevolent and aware of its interconnectedness with the rest of the universe as we move into the Golden Era.
