The 21st century has seen a growing interest in the microbial world and its influence on human behaviour and cognition, particularly in debates on embodied and extended cognition and the emerging concept of the ‘holobiont mind.’ Through an analysis of M.

Awakening is reported across contemplative traditions yet remains poorly defined in science, where it is often conflated with transient states induced by meditation or psychedelics, obscuring its significance for theories of consciousness and cognitive architecture. We treat awakening as a functional construct capturing convergence across Hindu and Buddhist sources, phenomenological and...

The increasing prevalence of anxiety and psychological distress in the post-pandemic era has intensified interest in spiritual and religious sources of mental tranquility.

Abstract Debate about artificial intelligence and consciousness has centered on one question: is AI conscious? At The Science of Consciousness conference (TSC 2026, San Diego), the prevailing answer was no, supported by substantial argument and data.

By drawing on shamanic dreaming, this article approaches the conceptualisations of Indigenous thinkers, such as Davi Kopenawa Yanomami and Ailton Krenak, who envision a future of interdependence and care between human beings and all matter on Earth, increasingly harmed by predatory capitalism. It specifically explores the visuality of the Yanomami cosmology and Ailton Krenak’s concept of...

Current neuroscientific paradigms primarily rely on emergentism to explain subjective qualitative experience (qualia), positing that consciousness arises organically from complex neural architecture.

Drawing on nine interconnected theoretical...

The Dattātreyayogaśāstra (DYŚ) is one of those texts that changes how we see the history of yoga. Composed in South India around 1200 CE, it is the earliest known work to call a physical yogic system Haṭhayoga and the first to weave that system together with Patañjali’s eight-limbed path. The text unfolds as a conversation between the sage Sāṃkṛti and Dattātreya, a divine yogi revered in the...
