Consciousness, Resonance, and Vibration with Tamlyn Hunt
New Thinking AllowedOct 12, 2026
Attorney and philosopher Tam Hunt explains the General Resonance Theory of Consciousness, co-developed with UC Santa Barbara psychologist Jonathan Schooler, which proposes that everything vibrates, everything has a tiny spark of awareness, and shared resonance combines these sparks into higher consciousness. He describes random number generator experiments run at Burning Man by Dean Radin's team that reportedly found crowd events skewed the machines' outputs, results that were never published. Hunt also reflects on growing up among hippies, his time in a commune called the Love Family, his LSD experiences while in the Army, and why he believes the hippies were right about vibrations and interconnectedness.
