English. This article revises the concept of the "Fourth Turning of the Wheel of Dharma", introduced by the author in an earlier version (March 2026), as a philosophical investigation of how the mind operates in technically mediated environments, and explicitly lowers the status of the claim: from a possible historical fourth turning to a figure of reading and a call to doctrinal work, with no...

Recent advances in artificial intelligence, connectomics, and computational neuroscience increasingly raise the question of whether artificial systems—or even pure computer simulations—could become conscious. Contemporary theories emphasize embodiment, predictive processing, homeostatic regulation, and continuous interaction between cognition, body, and environment rather than isolated...

This article examines the nature of Christian spiritual experience in light of Edith Stein’s Finite and Eternal Being. Historically, spiritual experience can be understood in terms of either intellectual form or the practical exercise of love of neighbor. Following Stein, the article identifies intellectual form as the source of spiritual experience, which not only proceeds from the Christian...

Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) is one of the most extensively developed empirical research programmes on access consciousness. By contrast, the Motivated Emotional Mind (MEM) model proposes an embodied, semi-hierarchical associative memory in which representational selection, action, recurrent reconstruction of modality-specific fields, interoception, and valence form a single...

This article proposes a conceptual reconstruction of the Yorùbá principle Orí, not as an ancient theory of consciousness, but as a philosophical operator for the non-spatial localization of a perspective. Once spacetime is defundamentalized as an ontological primitive, localization ceases to be a position in space and becomes instead a restriction of possible relations. Within this framework,...

Abstract Further insight is at hand in a text Bhattacharyya does not discuss, but might have, Manu’s Code Law. Here we find a description of the lived experience of the wandering ascetic (yati), depicted as consisting in a state of ambient perceptual awareness; the experience of the ascetic is one of full attentional retraction. When Kalidas Bhattacharyya writes that ‘negative attention [is] a...

Contemporary consciousness science can characterize many neural, physiological, and behavioral correlates of conscious experience, intention, and voluntary action, yet it still lacks a unified comparative framework for deciding whether subject-level states are merely higher-level descriptions of brain-body dynamics or whether they contribute causal structure that cannot be absorbed by weaker...
