Abstract:Objections to cosmopsychism based on incoherence or implausibility depend on assumptions about the nature of consciousness that we need not take for granted. The nondual Pratyabhijñā philosophers encourage us to examine our own phenomenal experience to reveal the multiplicity of subjectivities within unified consciousness. Using this framework, I explore how our faculties for...

A significant share of meditation research relies on trait psychometric measures of mindfulness, which neglect the complex and dynamic unfolding of experiential processes entailed by meditation over time.

Serotonergic psychedelics exert their effects via their high affinity for serotonin (5-HT) receptors, particularly through activating 5-HT2A receptors (5-HT2AR), employing the frontal cortex-dependent head-twitch response (HTR). Although universally believed to be so, studies have not yet fully ascertained whether 5-HT2AR activation is the sole initiator of these psychedelic effects. This is...

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs 2023 advice included...
