Bridging Medicine & Spirituality
After two successful events (2006 in Rockville, MD and 2008 in Fort Lauderdale, FL), the SMA-US is proud to invite us all to the 3rd US Spiritist Medical Congress to be held in the core of Washington, DC!

The Scientific Committee put together a strong program for this year’s event and have invited a number of renowned speakers covering several relevant topics including:

• The bioenergy treatment service at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington
• Scientific studies of clairvoyance, automatic writing and healing passes: Applications for the management of AIDS and hepatitis C
• The Science of Spirit-Assisted Healing
• Nonlocal Consciousness: Study of Brazilian Mediuns Using Neuroimaging Technique
• Opening to Nonlocal Consciousness – Experimental Data
• Daily Activities in a Spiritist Psychiatric Hospital

The Quantum Activist has been given the honor of being selected as “Best Film” at the Chile Digital International Film Festival!

This is our biggest honor, receiving not a best in category, but a best in overall! Needless to say, South America is open to the ideas of Spirit!

The Digital International Film Festival was born in 2003 due to the absence in Chile of an audiovisual forum in which filmmakers could exhibit their work in the digital format. Subsequently the contest extended its call to foreigners, thus becoming the only event of its kind in the country, indeed in Latin America, dedicated to promoting the digital format.

Can science and religion be integrated? What comes to mind immediately is that religions themselves cannot agree with one another whereas science is basically monolithic. How can there even be trade between the two, let alone integration?

First, it is only a perception that religions are pluralistic and science is not. Science is monolithic only so far as science of matter–physics and chemistry–is concerned. Psychology, the science of the psyche, has three different paradigms–behavioral-cognitive consisting of hard science orientation, depth psychology consisting of Freudian psychoanalysis and Jungian analytical psychology and their derivatives with psychotherapy orientation, and humanistic-transpersonal-yoga psychology with positive mental health orientation. Both the later paradigms of psychology acknowledge downward causation and subtle bodies in some form or other. Medicine has the conventional allopathic medicine and also alternative medicine practices that complement it. A prominent part of alternative medicine is Eastern medicine that emphasizes subtle energies called variously as prana, chi, and ki. And biology is in transition right now. The materialist biology is highly developed but with some unsolved (maybe unsolvable) problems. Alternative biology is biology that sees life as the handiwork of a purposive designer with the power of downward causation; but at present it is so poorly developed that hardly anyone can call it a genuine alternative biology.

The idea of managed health care is not new. Unfortunately, in conventional medicine, health care management is seen entirely in terms of the economics of caring for our material body. In integrative medicine, however, we acknowledge the role of consciousness, free will, and creativity in the management of health care. As integrative medicine acknowledges both the gross material and the subtle, vital-mental-supramental trio of bodies, new vistas of preventative medicine open up. In this way, health care means caring for all these bodies, and health care management obtains new dimensions. When these new dimensions are fully explored, new avenues become available for the treatment of chronic disease, mind-body disease, and disease related to old age in general. By focusing on “positive health”, we arrive at a healthy attitude towards death; a phenomenon to which the new paradigm of medicine gives new meaning.
