The true story of how ABC broadcaster Craig Hamilton stared down his demons to recover from a mental breakdown.
Broken Open is the story of ABC sports broadcaster Craig Hamilton and how, on the eve of the biggest undertaking of his career, he suffered a complete mental breakdown. Instead of covering the Sydney Olympics Craig was confined to a padded cell in a mental institution and later diagnosed as suffering bipolar disorder.
This catastrophe not only denied Craig his place at the Games, it almost ruined his career and turned his role as devoted husband and father into a living hell.
From his initial shocking breakdown to his gradual and eventual recovery, Craig sifts through the evidence to identify the warning signs that might have told him he was in serious trouble. This trail identifies a family man who could be so typical of any of us. It illustrates that mental illness is not something that just happens to other people. It is an issue much closer to home and touches many more lives than we could ever imagine.
According to physicist Amit Goswami, contrary to appearances, the split between science and religion may finally be on the verge of being healed. Science may at last be rediscovering God.
Climate scientists tell us that we have less than ten years to dramatically cut our carbon emissions before we reach a point of no return. Yet most of the large-scale solutions on the table will take far longer than that to implement. Fortunately, necessity is the mother of invention, and among the climate change pioneers there are those who feel that, if we step out of the box of the traditional social change model, we'll discover that we already have everything we need to make a huge dent in our carbon footprint-almost overnight.
We all sense intuitively that reality is not a jumbled assortment of unrelated parts, but a dynamic, unified whole. Yet, as fields of knowledge become increasingly complex and specialized, it's often difficult to see how all the parts of this whole truly fit together. In this dialogue with consciousness researcher Allan Combs, we explore the emergence of what he calls 'Integral Consciousness.'
In Hubbard's research through history she realized that when a culture lost an image of its own future, which was positive to that culture, and they didn't believe in themselves anymore, the culture declined.
But as fields of knowledge become increasingly specialized, it gets harder and harder to see how disparate strands of understanding could possibly integrate into a unified whole. How do science and religion fit together? Is one right and the other wrong? Or are they both telling us truths about different aspects of a single reality? Is there a theory large enough to embrace it all?
In our quest for for meaning, we have turned first and foremost to the great wisdom traditions of the world. Yet, in modern times, these great traditions, and the very notion of spirituality itself, have come under fierce attack by some of our most respected intellectual institutions.
Scientist and former priest Haisch says, “I see God as a macro-designer, one whose ideas become the laws of physics.” He presents a theory of how the gap between science and religion is thinner than one might believe.
