Dean Radin Ph.D. on Consciousness, Parapsychology, and the Observer Effect | Waking Cosmos

Dean Radin Ph.D. is a scientist who has been exploring mysterious anomalies of consciousness for decades. As chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dean has conducted many scientific experiments testing the existence of telepathy, precognition, mind-matter interaction, and other anomalies of the mind. It is a field of study which remains controversial, but as we explore in today’s episode of Waking Cosmos, the evidence for some of these “psi phenomena” is overwhelming. Today Dean and I discuss these effects and consider what they might tell us about consciousness, and perhaps, the nature of reality. Among other topics, we also explore Dean’s experiments probing the observer effect in quantum physics, and the possible role of consciousness in the collapse of the quantum wave-function.

I hope you enjoy this episode of Waking Cosmos. If you would like to support open-minded conversations about consciousness and reality, please consider becoming a Patreon subscriber. Thank you!

Dean's presentation on mind matter interaction

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dean. How do you think psi phenomena work?

My son turned out to be a seer, like myself.
Meaning we see things before they happen. This can be from minutes to months or years in some cases. I've always had it and was told about it at a young age. Grandma would say l had the gifts😄 l would predict future events, get up to phone, knowing who it was too. Much stronger when children were young. I've started again, pure curiosity.
Lol, son knew l wasn't talking garbage when he come home on the Friday night after work. Eye's sticking out? He told me about being surrounded by fire, but he wasn't scared.
Machine parts they made, he said how the floor created most flames.
Years of oil.
Following Monday morning, he left and was home half hour later. Place had literally melted, he said. Firemen couldn't do anything but control it. So he learned to take notice and be able to chill and get message.😊
Grandma also said everyone is capable of doing this..
Practice remembering thought in brain when your ears start ringing.
Or first person you thought of.
Meditation and spirit running, spinning chakras starting at root.

I listen to every single Dean Radin I can find.

And you sir asked some of the most insightful and interesting questions of any host in a long time. It’s very clear that you came into this interview very prepared, well read and most importantly curious.

Most excellent work!

[crangonvulgaris]

Have you considered interviewing Tom Campbell ? I cannot recommend highly enough investigating the highly sophisticated model he has produced, fundamentally incorporating consciousness, the emergence of 3D realities including the one we occupy and most intriguingly, their (and our) purpose for existing.

[clintmontgomery]

So nice to hear Dean right off the bat proclaim direct experience to be the most compelling form of evidence. This still seems debatable, to rank them as such, but compared to the scientific view which discounts direct experience entirely, and coming from a researcher, is a very refreshing perspective.

[cartertech]

Thanks for posting man. This came along right when I needed it

[gideonfyah]

Here's a snipet from Dan Simmon's sci-fi book, Olympos -


"What is reality except a standing quantum wavefront collapsing through probability states?"
asked Orphu.
"How does the human mind work except as a sort of interferometer perceiving and collapsing those wavefronts?"

[kogazor]

I'm a simple man. I see Dean Radin, I press like.

[TupacMakaveli]

Three evidence : personal, antidote, lab experiments of ppl having those experience

Wow what a science n ways to know the world

[galactusmonitor]

Amazing I hope you could talk about
More on the siddhis and supernormal abilities like
Let say psychokinesis telepathy
Bilocation materialization of objects
Levitation I really like that topic
Meditation manifestation

[earthling]

dean keeps me calm in a crazy world. love him and metarising.

[johnpepin]

As to presentiment...

Why not do a study of all cancelled plane tickets and compare the percent of tickets cancelled or no shows to planes that crash and those that don't? You could do the same study on trains, buses, etc...

[archONtour]

i guess those people clicking dislike are subconsciously disliking the progress of an awaking world

[susann]

Wonderful presentation! The speaker's comments resonated with me on a deep level. Thanks to you both.

[erector]

Magic of today it's the science of tomorrow ! Fascinating !

[BarbaraMerryGeng]

Wow, I remember Dr Dean Radin, way back to the science documentary on cutting edge astrophysics .. “ what the bleep “..It’s a long hard journey to continue to research fascinating interests that have no “ mass consumer value “.. oh well ! Keep up the good work ! They scoffed at all the other great science discoveries as well. 👁✨🌊💫 Carry on !!

[dplsurve]

Way ahead of his time. I gotta get out there to IONS and meet him!

[Adraria]

A couple things:

1. PSI may not be related to consciousness, it could just be subconscious brain activity that’s involved

2. PSI may not be nonlocal. It’s possible it involves a yet undiscovered quantum field like inflatons or dark matter

[rubenpalma]

Congratulations!
Great and relevant conversation.

[BailelaVida]

Very good interview. Thank you Dean, and great work, Adrian, thanks.
