David Peat

Synchronicities and Epiphanies

A Voices from the Edge presentation in Lenox, MA

 

David Peat, scientist, writer, and cultural explorer, is more interested in finding a good question than in discovering an ultimate answer. Trained as a theoretical physicist, Peat's intellectual independence and natural curiosity took the reigns of his career, leading him far beyond the university classroom and the research laboratory. He was a close associate, and the official biographer, of the renowned physicist and visionary, David Bohm, a follower of analytical psychologist Carl Jung, a denizen of the London art scene, and an enthusiast of the wisdom of Native American elders.

In this Voices from the Edge presentation, recorded live at the Foxhollow Forum in western Massachussetts, Peat discusses his long-standing fascination with the phenomenon of synchronicity, those rare and fortuitous occurrences that can suddenly imbue life with unexpected meaning and harmony. As the title of Peat's book on the subject, Synchronicity: The Bridge between Mind and Matter, indicates, synchronous events reveal what many scientists intuit but can't quite prove: that there is an underlying order in the universe which the laws of causality can't fully account for. Elucidating and punctuating his talk with personal recollections and anecdotes about famous physicists, philosophers, poets, and artists, Peat's remarkable life in many ways exemplifies his belief in the undeniable interdependence between matter and spirit.
