“There has to be some organizing principle.” Alan Sandage, PhD – win-
ner of the Crawford prize in astronomy
“The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great ma-
chine. Mind no longer appears as an accidental intruder into the realm
of matter; we are beginning to suspect that we ought rather to hail it as
the creator and governor of the realm of matter...” Sir James Jeans, PhD
– physicist
“There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on be-
hind it all. It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature’s numbers
to make the Universe. The impression of design is overwhelming.” Paul
Davies, PhD – physicist, winner Templeton Award:
“I would say the universe has a purpose. It’s not there just somehow by
chance.” Roger Penrose, PhD – mathematician
“Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human
history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create
a happier world.” Dalai Lama
“From here I can see the Tibetan notion of the sameness of outer and
inner space – that they are not really something different. I recognize the
language from the other side, and I see in it something very similar to
what I expect to happen in the language of science in the next 100 years
or so. The search for a wider view, a wider context, a wider space – that
is what science will soon investigate in much greater depth.” Piet Hut,
PhD – professor of both astrophysics and interdisciplinary studies at
the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton.
It’s simple…not easy. But well worth the effort!

NEW CONTINUUM EXHIBIT BOOK PART ONE
An update of the record-breaking exhibit at the California Museum of Science
and Industry in LA in 1978, with over 2 million visits in less than a year, then
coming to Minneapolis where it toured high profile locations for 10 years.
The new exhibit adds 40 years more research and covers topics including
education, mental health, addiction, and animal intelligence. Blending images,
quotes and research spanning fields, cultures and 1000s of years, the exhibit
ushers in a new paradigm of consciousness.
Exhibit Book Part One features the TOUCH ME. I’M SOLID, AREN’T I?
first 46 exhibit panels plus a page of
commentary for each panel. BUT…I’M MADE OF ATOMS AND ATOMS ARE 99.9% SPACE!
I LOOK AND FEEL SOLID…
BUT IS THAT AN ILLUSION? I’M VIRTUALLY ALL SPACE!
AND I’M SEPARATE FROM YOU, RIGHT?
OR NOT?
Jane Barrash started with Continuum Center in 1984, and has been
executive director since 1987. She has produced conferences and speaker
series hosting internationally known scientists and cultural leaders,
developed the Discovery of Self curriculum in 1991 – which has gone to
many populations across the US and abroad, created the new Continuum
exhibit, and additional film and youth leadership projects/programs. The
goal is to help people of all demographics access the proverbial “other 90%” of brain/
mind capacity.
Barrash has helped thousands in their academic, professional, and creative endeavors,
and with health, relationships, and sports performance. Barrash herself still competes
as a figure skater and in August 2019 at age 62 she became a 3-time state champion
against competitors up to 30 years younger.
