The Mindshift Institute is holding its annual conference Cosmos and Consciousness VI: New Scientific Perspectives on Extraterrestrial Life in Our Living Universe on Saturday, September 20, 2008 from 10:00 a.m.—5:30 p.m. at The Rangeley Inn in Rangeley, Maine.

The speakers at the event are Dr. Bruce Maccabee, an Optical Physicist with the US Naval Service Warfare Center; Michael Mannion, medical-science writer and novelist; Carol Rainey, a documentary filmmaker and author; and Dr. Rudy Schild, an astrophysicist and cosmologist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.  The conference hosts are Trish Corbett and Michael Mannion, the co-founders of The Mindshift Institute

Cosmos and Consciousness VI will focus on the recent developments in science that provide a new way of looking at one of our oldest questions:  Are we alone?  The scientific answer to that question, increasingly, seems to be “No.”   The conference is a truly open-minded exploration of what the latest scientific discoveries reveal about extraterrestrial life in our universe.

In the past few decades, science and technology have progressed enough so that speculative astrophysics and cosmology now can be subjected to scientific testing.  The old era of pure speculation in cosmology and astrophysics has ended.  The new era of the confirmation of scientific cosmological and astrophysical hypotheses has begun.  

The conference will provide a rigorous, open-minded look at what science is now discovering about the nature of our living universe, bringing us face-to-face with the inadequacies of our current picture of reality.  New knowledge is inexorably leading to a new worldview.  When the four presentations being offered this year are put together, we begin to see the outlines of this emerging worldview, one that may not be evident when the information in each talk is looked at separately.

All of this year’s presentations share something in common—they show that new scientific developments are helping us to understand such phenomena as UFOs and extraterrestrial life whose comprehension has so far eluded us.  No one is claiming to have “the answer.”  What we are offering in this conference are new paths to evolving answers to our eternal questions about the universe we inhabit and our place in it.

There is a Premium Weekend Package available.  Call 212-721-6785 or go towww.mindshiftinstitute.org for more information.  General admission is $85; student admission is $45.  Call 212-721-6785 for information on income sensitive admission.

The Mindshift Institute is focused on (1) expanding our worldview through new discoveries in frontier science and (2) waking up from "the trance,' a profound detachment from our inner and outer reality.
