Topic: Connecting the Mind, Body, and Universe

Dance To The Rhythm Of The Cosmos
Tapping Into The Mind-Body-Universe Connection to Consciousness
James A. Cusumano

Since well before Aristotle and Socrates, scientists and philosophers have debated the nature of consciousness. What is it? Where does it come from? How does it work? Does it impart any special capabilities in us and if so, how do we access them? What’s its role throughout the cosmos? What happens to it when we die?

With increasing advances in science, we are getting closer to the answers to these questions. Using the methods of metaphysics, early Wisdom Seekers may have been closer to the answers than we think. Their methodology was the use of deep altered states of consciousness to create intelligent meaningful conjectures that explain consciousness.

Most modern efforts have relied strictly on existing science. But as quantum physicists and Nobel laureates, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, and Roger Penrose maintained, a completely new science would be necessary to answer these questions.

Since this new science must transcend Galilean, Newtonian, and quantum physics, I refer to it as Transcendent Physics. The best we can do at this point in time may be to follow the lead of Eastern Wisdom Seekers and resort to intelligent conjectures as a basis for this new science. Arguments will likely persist, but these conjectures can stimulate creative insights and unveil the fundamental axioms and rules of Transcendent Physics. This would open our view to the true essence of consciousness, what is it, how it functions, and how best to use it?

Ultimately, I believe we will find that consciousness is not just an important thing throughout the universe—it’s the only thing.

James A. Cusumano, PhD
Jim has enjoyed success in many fields. After obtaining his PhD in chemistry and subsequent business studies at Harvard and Stanford universities, he became director of research at Exxon, where his group developed energy and petrochemical technologies. Dr. Cusumano left Exxon to found Catalytica, Inc., a US public company comprised of two business units: pharmaceutical production and systems for generating clean energy. As Chairman and CEO, he and his management team built this Silicon Valley business in less than five years, from three people and zero sales to 2,000 employees and $500 million in sales. Jim Cusumano is a seasoned leader who has had success working as a musician, scientist, senior manager, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. He is also an inspirational speaker and author of many professionally renowned engineering and trade publications and books.

Part 2 of the seminar with MUDr. MUDr. Martin Borský
A Practical Guide to Life and Follow-Up to the Morning Seminar

MUDr. Martin Borský
For over thirty years, Dr. Borský has worked as a general practitioner for adults and an internist in nearby Mladá Boleslav. In 2012, he founded the Center for Integrative Medicine (CIM). He joined the European Society for Integrative Medicine and the Society of Psychosomatic Medicine of the J. E. Purkyně Czech Medical Society. Clients from all over the Czech Republic come to CIM for integrative diagnoses and treatment. For this reason, Dr. Borský opened an Integrative Medicine Clinic on the outskirts of Mladá Boleslav in the Eco Village Podchlumí satellite district in early 2024. Here, he has brought to life a unique concept linking university and integrative medicine. He will give a brief introduction to this project during his lecture. During his visits to Chateau Mcely, he became familiar with James A. Cusumano's books. He finds the books Balance: The Life/Work Connection and Life is Beautiful highly inspiring, particularly their clear interpretation of the laws of quantum and spiritual physics. In his opinion, however, the book that will change your life is Cosmic Consciousness. He uses the ideas in it successfully in his daily practice with his clients. If you are interested, you will have the opportunity to consult with MUDr. Borský personally.
