Why and how does consciousness matter? What is your world view?  How do you know what you know? Does meditation really help people? IONS President, Marilyn Mandala Schlitz will tell us about the exciting research and educational programs at The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), which uses scientific methods to explore the "inner cosmos" of the mind (consciousness, soul, spirit) and how it relates to the "outer cosmos" of the physical world.
