Summary: Scott Kiloby

How do we reconcile the evolution of consciousness in time with our egoic addiction to future? Is the evolution of consciousness the same as personal seeking?
Through his addiction and recovery work, Scott Kiloby speaks of addiction to temporal objects. We may not think of things in the future as being like objects. It is easier to see the spatial objects to which we are addictedâ€”stuff in the physical world such as drugs, alcohol, sex, love, money, success, work, and fame. Through his Unfindable Object Inquiry, Scott reveals that these spatial things that we addictively seek are unfindable, empty and non-separate. In this unfindability, our addiction to these objects releases itself.
The same is true for temporal objectsâ€”which are events that we seek in time for personal fulfillment (i.e., acceptance, happiness, personal achievement, enlightenment, recovery). In imagining these objects as something we must find in the future, we addictively seek towards them for personal fulfillment. They are objects in time. Through the same Unfindable Object Inquiry, these temporal objects are also unfindable, empty, and non-separate. This releases our addiction to these temporal objects.
Is the evolution of consciousness the same as personal seeking towards temporal objects? Scott discusses how evolution is the awakening of the mind, the opening of the heart, and the exploration of multiple perspectives. This evolutionary deepening in time does not have to be another addiction. Rather than a destination for personal fulfillment, it is a resource available in our present experience that benefits all of humanity.

SAND 2011 is a journey and exploration of the nature of awareness from the perspective of modern science, ancient traditions, philosophy, phenomenology, psychology and direct experience. Hear presentations of world-renowned quantum physicists, scientists, lecturers and authors like John Hagelin, Stanislav Grof, Lynne McTaggart, Fred Alan Wolf, Menas Kafatos, Gangaji, Rupert Spira, David Peat, Dean Radin, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Jeff Foster and many more, over this four-day conference.

The theme which we will be exploring this year is Time. What is time and does it really exist? Linear, nonlinear time, eternal now, infinityâ€¦ SAND 2011 will be an exploration of the concept and paradox of time from the perspective of modern science, ancient traditions, philosophy, phenomenology, psychology and of course direct experience.
