Human spirit influences mental and ecological health

Princeton, New Jersey

Does humanity’s relationship to our internal world (our thoughts, will, and feelings) impact how we experience the external world? What if the current worldwide mental and ecological health crises are interconnected?

Inspired by these questions, the BVISCS is encouraging a spiritual transformation in modern culture and science by facilitating interdisciplinary inquiry into the origin, purpose, and evolution of matter, life, consciousness, and self.

“From the reader's perspective, a book is composed of alphabetical letters; but the book itself did not originate from these letters. Ultimately it is from the ideas of the author that the letters come to be. In the same way, the molecules of a biological organism are the result, not the origin of life.”
