Jim Skelton, MDiv., MEd. is presenting a series at the Institute for Learning in Retirement from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursdays, for nine weeks, March 8 through May 3. on the Cedar Crest College campus.

The course explores human development as an expansion of consciousness, one that recognizes a reality that is inclusive of self, others and All. It traces the development of consciousness from simpler life forms to multidimensional awareness and depicts self-awareness as an ongoing process of expansion and individuation. Skelton uses meta-physics and quantum physics to illustrate universal consciousness, defining a level of being, where the world and reality is created through thought, words, and action.
