ABOUT THE EVENT

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), once regarded as a mere cushioning medium for the brain and spinal cord, is now emerging as a critical mediator of physiological and potentially transcendent processes. This talk explores the multifaceted roles of the CSF in linking the physical and metaphysical realms. Beyond its essential roles in nutrient transport, waste clearance, and brain homeostasis, the CSF is hypothesized to serve as a dynamic interface for neurophysiological states that align with altered or expanded states of consciousness.

Recent studies suggest that the rhythmic flow of CSF, synchronized with respiratory and cardiovascular cycles, may influence the brain’s default mode network, a key player in self-referential thought and ego dissolution during psychedelic experiences. Additionally, emerging evidence hints at the CSF’s role in distributing bioactive molecules, such as DMT, that facilitate neural plasticity and interoceptive awareness, echoing the mechanisms observed in psychedelic therapies.

This presentation delves into the implications of CSF as a medium for integrating mystical and somatic experiences, emphasizing its potential as a bridge between neuroscience and the phenomenology of cosmic consciousness. By synthesizing anatomical, biochemical, and metaphysical perspectives, we will explore how the CSF may underlie the unity of body, mind, and the cosmos, offering profound insights for psychedelic research and therapeutic applications. This integrative framework invites us to reimagine consciousness not as an isolated brain function but as an emergent property of a fluid, interconnected system.

Dr. Mauro 

Mauro Zappaterra obtained his MD and PhD from Harvard Medical School. He is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation with a focus on optimizing human performance, increasing awareness and decreasing suffering. He has been practicing mindfulness since 1998, and teaching mindfulness to patients with chronic pain since 2018.  He is the Director of Multidisciplinary Care at Synovation Medical Group.  He has led the Awakening Awareness Program and Inward Inquiry for the Emerging Sciences Foundation which can be found on YouTube.  He has published numerous scientific papers and medical book chapters on the cerebrospinal fluid, disability, and pain management. He has also published "I Am", "All One", and "All Love" which are three books exploring topics of awareness, primarily for kids, but really for people of all ages.  He has also published "Close Your Eyes, What Do You See?" with his son, which is a story about imagination and intention.  Recently he published "A is for Awarness: A Consciousness Expanding Alphabet", a new alphabet book.  These can all be found on Amazon. He continues to create programs to help patients with chronic pain and investigate the cerebrospinal fluid and integrate new research to evolve the hypothesis of The Cerebrospinal Fluid and I Am.
