The Principal: Grahame Blackwell BTech(Hons) PGCE PhD(AI) MBCS CITP CEng EurIng FCybS Dr Grahame Blackwell, Director of The Institute for Harmonious Science, has over thirty years experience in education including almost twenty years as a Senior Lecturer and Researcher in the university environment. In that role he has been responsible for innovative course development and delivery at all levels. Dr Blackwell has also supervised research at MPhil and PhD level and, as the Head of a university-based team in a multimillion-pound international Research and Development project, made keynote presentations to industry & research leaders in Europe & the USA. Dr Blackwell is a Fellow of The Cybernetics Society. Cybernetics is a branch of the Systems Sciences, which deal with complex dynamic systems and interactions between the various elements of those systems - in other words, it's truly Holistic Science. In 2011 Dr Blackwell published two ground-breaking papers in an international peer-reviewed systems-sciences journal. Those papers describe a radically new perspective on time, space and matter that explains many fundamental aspects of material reality that have never before been explained. References for those papers are given below on the right; their implications are detailed opposite under 'The Principles'. Dr Blackwell lives on Dartmoor, UK, where regular walks among the trees, rivers and tors (granite-topped hills) of that wilderness landscape have brought much inspiration from nature. That inspiration, that research experience and insight, that breadth of experience in educational program construction, management and delivery - all of these are brought together in the teachings of The Institute for Harmonious Science. Those teachings are brought to you with a proven track record of communicating complex concepts in a way that all can understand (see above). This combination of skills and experience ensures that IHS can seriously address your need for a coherent view of reality, a view that's totally in alignment with your own inner sense of personal connection with all that is.

The Principles: The Unity Theory � The teachings of The Institute for Harmonious Science are derived from the principles of The Unity Theory of Time and Space, Matter and Light. The Unity Theory consists of a set of ten principles that all follow logically and scientifically from the one fundamental premise that all matter is formed from light. That premise itself is based on a substantial body of scientific evidence from over a century of research by many top names in the world of science, including more than a dozen Nobel Laureates. The Principles of The Unity Theory include observations such as: The universe is holographic (in the truly scientific sense); Our perception of objects as 'separate' is an illusion; Time is also an illusion; Consciousness is not just an aspect of the physical body. They also include a very significant change in perspective from the standard view of Relativity, as well as the important observation that this Theory is itself a limited view of a deeper reality. Details of The Unity Theory can be found here. The book Tapestry of Light gives a non-technical overview of the light-based nature of physical matter, explaining how this gives the impression of 'particles' and of 'solid objects'. The companion volume Breath of the Cosmos gives a flowing illustrated poetic presentation of the same scientific truths. The scientific rationale for teachings embodied in The Unity Theory is provided by Dr Blackwell in two peer-reviewed papers published in the international journal �Kybernetes�: 1. Blackwell, G., �Elementary sub-atomic particles: the earliest adaptive systems.�, Kybernetes, Vol. 40 No. 1/2, pp. 200-212 (2011). 2. Blackwell, G., �Cosmic System Dynamics: A Cyberneticist�s Perspective on Gravitation.�, Kybernetes, Vol. 40 No. 9/10, pp. 1319-1330 (2011).
