321. Rick Archer at the Science and Nonduality Conference, 2015

Science and Spirituality: Potential Allies in Discovering Truth

My talk was accompanied by a multimedia presentation, which has been edited into this video. There were technical issues: the official camera wasn’t there, so a friend recorded this on her camcorder and the sound quality isn’t ideal. I ran out of time and had to cut some things that I added to this video, etc. But hopefully, you’ll enjoy the content. I put a lot of thought into this over several months.

Talk recorded 10/23/2015 at the Science and Nonduality Conference.
