AMIT GOSWAMI, PH.D.– Scientific Advisor

One of the rare scientists that appear in the film "What the Bleep do we Know", and one of the few who do not leave out consciousness in explaining quantum physics. His is a Professor of physics at the Institute of Theoretical Sciences at the University of Oregon and author of numerous scientific papers and several books.

A teacher of physics for 32 years, he thought to ask a different question:  "What agency converts possibility into actuality?"  His pondering and research over the next few years brought the new way of doing science and many answers.   Consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all existence...the universe is self-aware and that consciousness creates the physical world.   Dr. Goswami calls the new paradigm "monistic idealism," with it the paradoxes of quantum physics are explainable, as is choice, free will, the unconscious, healing and creativity, and spiritual growth.

Amit earned his Ph.D. from Calcutta University in theoretical nuclear physics in 1964 and has been a professorof physics at the University of Oregon since 1968. He taught physics for 32 years in this country, mostly in Oregon, before fully retiring in 2003. Dr. Goswami was a senior scholar in residence at the Institute of Noetic Sciences
during 1998-2000. He teaches quite regularly at the Holmes Institute and the Philosophical Research University in L.A.; Pacifica in Santa Barbara, CA; and UNIPAZ in Portugal.

Dr. Goswami's books include Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World, Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation & Immortality and Quantum Physics of Quantum Healing by Amit Goswami and Deepak Chopra. Dr. Goswami is a pioneer of a new multidisciplinary paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness, known as Science within consciousness. His research has beenpublished in scientific journals in three different fields, physics, biology, and psychology.
