Join the Advanced Lecture Series for an insightful and fascinating discussion.

Our special guest speaker is John Hagelin, Ph.D., renowned quantum physicist, string theorist, educator, author and leading proponent of peace. Dr. Hagelin has published extensively on particle astrophysics, unified field theory, dark matter, and cosmology. He is responsible for the leading Grand Unified Field Theory based on the superstring — a theory that was featured in a cover story of Discover magazine.

Dr. Hagelin has spent much of the past quarter century conducting scientific research into the foundations of human consciousness. He is a leading authority on the effects of meditation and brain development, on higher states of consciousness, and the use of collective meditation to defuse societal stress and promote societal peace.

We commonly understand dark matter to be some mysterious invisible substance spread across space that accounts for most of the matter in the universe, vastly dwarfing all the matter we can see, all the stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. But Dr. Hagelin believes that dark matter has potential significance to human life. Specifically, he thinks dark matter may cluster around the human body, forming a kind of subtle body, and may even play a role in the connection between mind and body. He and a group of physicists and students at MIU have begun researching this hypothesis, with encouraging initial results.

Dr. Hagelin received his A.B. summa cum laude from Dartmouth College in 1975 and his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1981. He is President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of physics at Maharishi International University.
