Receptivity to a mystical experience (ME) is not characterised for any person by a wide-open highway where there are no obstacles. The nature of a ME and Jung&s;s numinous experience in terms of its psychoanalytic significance is that it essentially creates something new that has a particular form. The potential for rejection is contained within the overwhelming experience; a ME always has an...

The chapter discusses problems that arise regarding the relationships between artificial intelligence and subjective experience.

The proposition that tribal or smaller-scale traditional societies yield Gnostic ideas may seem absurd, especially considering the kind of elaborate speculations post-War scholars have discussed since the Nag Hammadi finds. The connection with gnosticism has been made because of initiated specialists&s; negotiations through "other worlds," and because initiations can be paralleled to access to...

Open problems abound in the theory of complex networks, which has found successful application to diverse fields of science. With the aim of further advancing the understanding of the brain's functional connectivity, we propose to evaluate a network metric which we term the geodesic entropy. This entropy, in a way that can be made precise, quantifies the Shannon entropy of the distance...
