MetaTheurgy with Kevin Cann

Kevin Cann is a contributor to Jeffrey Kripal’s book How to Think Impossibly. He is a high-functioning autistic individual whose perspectives inform his philosophical work. Cann is the originator of a worldview he calls Platonic Surrealism.

Kevin Cann explores MetaTheurgy as an expansion of ancient theurgy, reframing ritual, consciousness, and wonderworking through the contemporary lens of his system, Platonic Surrealism. He explains how human beings function as interfaces between awareness, potentiality, monadic consciousness, and the physical world, offering practical methods to restore agency in a postmodern culture marked by alienation. Cann also discusses how ritual, transcendence, and expanded states of mind can foster healing, meaning, and participation in a larger cosmic process.

Platonic Computation and the Dodleston Messages with Simon Duan

Simon Duan came from China to the United Kingdom in the 1980s, where he earned a PhD in materials science from Cambridge University. He is a past Vice President of the Chinese Parapsychology Association and the founder and CEO of Metacomputics Labs, which researches a postmaterialist paradigm unifying consciousness, mind, and matter. Duan developed the hypothesis known as Platonic computation, argued to provide the strongest available explanation for the controversial Dodleston Messages case, if the case is genuine.

Simon Duan discusses his hypothesis of Platonic computation, a postmaterialist model proposing that consciousness, mind, and matter emerge from a deeper non-physical realm of forms. He explains how this framework may illuminate the enigmatic Dodleston Messages, a decades-old case involving anomalous communications that appear to originate from both the past and the future. Duan explores how higher-level layers of reality, intelligence, and information processing could account for the extraordinary features of this controversial paranormal episode.

The Age of AI, Dharma, and Reality with Deepak Chopra

Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCP, is a consciousness explorer and a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. Dr. Chopra is co-founder of DeepakChopra.ai, his AI twin and well-being advisor. He also co-founded Cyberhuman.ai, a transformative suite of personalized health and well-being solutions. He is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego, and serves as a senior scientist with Gallup Organization. He is also an Honorary Fellow in Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. TIME Magazine has described Dr. Chopra as “one of their top 100 most influential people.” He is the author of over 95 books, translated into over forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. His bestselling books include The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success; Ageless Body, Timeless Mind; Quantum Healing; The Book of Secrets; You Are the Universe; Life After Death; and The Way of the Wizard. His most recent book is Digital Dharma: How AI Can Elevate Spiritual Intelligence and Personal Well-Being. His mission is to create a more balanced, peaceful, joyful, and healthier world. His website is DeepakChopra.com.

Deepak shares how artificial intelligence (AI) can become a tool for awakening rather than destruction. While acknowledging that technological progress has surpassed our emotional and spiritual evolution, he offers insight into how we can utilize AI to support our own movement toward wisdom, compassion, and dharma. Used consciously, it can help us remember who we are, deepen our spiritual intelligence, and live in greater alignment with our higher self.
