Social Consciousness

Our ability to find meaning in things is one of the most important aspects of human life. But it is also one of the most mysterious. Where does meaning come from? What sorts of things have meaning? And how do we grasp the meaning others want to convey? Meaning: A Very Short Introduction is shaped by exploring possible answers to these questions.

Shaun Gallagher offers an account of psychopathologies as disorders of the self. The Self and its Disorders develops an interdisciplinary approach to an "integrative" perspective in psychiatry. In contrast to some integrative approaches that focus on narrow brain-based conceptions, or on symptomology, this book takes its bearings from embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience.

In Artificial You, Susan Schneider says that it is inevitable that AI will take intelligence in new directions but urges that it is up to us to carve out a sensible path forward. As AI technology turns inward, reshaping the brain, as well as outward, potentially creating machine minds, it is crucial to beware. Homo sapiens, as mind designers, will be playing with "tools" they do not understand how to use: the self, the mind, and consciousness.

In Simplicity Through Simulation: The Algorithm of Humanity, Dondaneau explores Simulation Theory, transforming it into a narrative deeply resonant with our age. He challenges the notion of reality as an external force, revealing it as a tapestry woven from mathematical and symbolic patterns within the cosmos and the human mind.

Ogni guarigione avviene secondo la convinzione dell'individuo. La mente subcosciente è la facoltà creativa dentro di noi e manifesta qualunque cosa la mente conscia imprima su di essa; la mente cosciente imprime il suo pensiero su di essa; il pensiero è l'espressione della convinzione; quindi, qualunque cosa sia impressa nella mente subconscia, quest'ultima si riproduce secondo la nostra convinzione. La convinzione errata, che si manifesta come malattia, è la convinzione che una causa secondaria, che è solo una condizione, sia una causa primaria.

Puoi sicuramente far fluire l'Energia Cosmica quando hai un determinato piano, obiettivo o scopo nella vita. Vai dove si trova la tua visione. La tua visione è ciò che stai visualizzando nella tua mente, ciò a cui stai prestando attenzione, l'affare su cui sei concentrato. Quando ti rendi conto che puoi raggiungere il tuo obiettivo, l'Energia Cosmica scorre, attirando a te tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno per la realizzazione dei tuoi sogni.

Esiste solo un'Energia Fondamentale nel mondo, un'Energia Cosmica, e ognuno di noi è un canale attraverso il quale questa Forza cerca uno sbocco creativo. È necessario diventare canali sgombri per il flusso di questa energia divina. Ognuno di noi è un punto focale del Divino, un po' come una lampadina elettrica può essere vista come un punto focale per il flusso della corrente elettrica. Questa Energia Cosmica scorre armoniosamente, pacificamente, ritmicamente e gioiosamente.

Unpacks and pulls the curtain back on what happens to our brains and our behaviors each time we addictively engage social media and the influencers we encounter there. Individuals seeking to widen their tribes of friends, fans, and followers have an abundance of resources for building their...

Alva Noë is one of a new breed - part philosopher, part cognitive scientist, part neuroscientist - who are radically altering the study of consciousness by asking difficult questions and pointing out obvious flaws in the current science. In Out of Our Heads, he restates and reexamines the problem of consciousness, and then proposes a startling solution: Do away with the 200-year-old paradigm that places consciousness within the confines of the brain.

As we open up to life and love and each other, as we awaken from our dream of separation, we encounter not just the bliss of existence, but its pain, too; not only life's ecstasy, but also its agony. Healing doesn't always feel good or comfortable or even "spiritual", for we are inevitably forced to confront our shadows, fears, and deepest longings - those secret parts of ourselves that we have denied, repressed, or deemed "negative" and unworthy of our love.

Combining ideas from philosophy, artificial intelligence, and neurobiology, Daniel Dennett leads the listener on a fascinating journey of inquiry, exploring such intriguing possibilities as: Can any of us really know what is going on in someone else's mind? What distinguishes the human mind from the minds of animals, especially those capable of complex behavior? If such animals, for instance, were magically given the power of language, would their communities evolve an intelligence as subtly discriminating as ours?

Los héroes de los antiguos mitos de las diferentes culturas ya recorrieron el camino; su itinerario es conocido, solo hay que seguir su huella. Tras sus gestas, aventuras y descubrimientos, surge tanto aquello que hace avanzar las civilizaciones como lo que conduce a la conquista de uno mismo. El autor nos explica el ciclo iniciático del héroe expuesto por Joseph Campbell y nos muestra su desarrollo en libros y películas contemporáneos.

What if numbers are not the building blocks of the universe—but reflections of the human mind? For over two thousand years, the Pythagorean vision has shaped our understanding of the cosmos: a universe ruled by harmony, order, and mathematical law. From the “music of the spheres” to modern physics, the idea that reality can be perfectly described by numbers has guided both science and philosophy. Yet as quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and information theory now suggest, this vision may be an exquisite illusion.

There is a tyranny against human consciousness in existence upon this planet that is taking humanity towards an unwanted future. There is ongoing an operation of enslavement. This enslavement has been upon a perceptual level for centuries. It has operated upon the physical human body as well as through social, cultural, political, religious, and economic institutions. It has operated through mental and emotional systems as well as energetic and vibrational.

Consciousness is more than mere awareness. It’s how we experience the world, how we turn input into experience. Once the province of philosophy, religion, or perhaps fantasy, neuroscientists have added a scientific voice to the discussion, using available medical technology to explore just what separates so-called “mind” from brain. In this audiobook, we look at what science has to say about one of humankind’s most fundamental, existential mysteries.

Soul Machine takes us back to the origins of modernity, a time when a crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution led to searching questions about the nature of human inner life. This is the story of how a new concept - the mind - emerged as a potential solution, one that was part soul and part machine but fully neither.

There is perhaps no modern psychic more fascinating than Edgar Cayce and no better authors to explore the intricate details and eye-opening stories of the people who received his readings than Sidney and Nancy Kirkpatrick. The Kirkpatricks, with decades of experience and research, take us on a journey into the archives and history of these psychic passages, finding the most interesting case studies and exploring the most astounding results of the Cayce work in so many people's lives.

In this prize-winning essay for the 2021 Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies essay contest, Dr. Ruickbie examines the evidence for the survival of consciousness after death (“life after death”). Initially skeptical, he found that there was sufficient evidence from a wide variety of sources, including apparitions, reincarnation, near-death experiences, after-death communication, and premonitions, that met the contest’s criteria of being “beyond reasonable doubt.”
