When the Mind Leaves Early: A Bottom Up Neurobiological Account of Acute-State Dissociation

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) September 26, 2026 Chad Thomas preprint

This paper explains acute‑state dissociation through a bottom‑up neurobiological lens, showing how trauma conditioning, salience misrouting, and memory‑encoding shutdown create states where individuals appear responsive while evaluative and reflective systems are offline. It integrates research on autobiographical memory, substance‑induced impairment, and consent vulnerability to clarify how...

Mind, Body, and Perceptual Modernity in Virginia Woolf’s “Kew Gardens” and “Street Haunting”

SÖYLEM Filoloji Dergisi September 26, 2026 Elvan Mutlu

The objective of the article is to analyse the relationship between body and mind in Virginia Woolf's essay, “Kew Gardens” (1919) and short story, “Street Haunting: A London Adventure” (1927).

J. N. Findlay’s Rational Mysticism

Religions September 25, 2026 Sanford L. Drob

The philosopher John Niemeyer Findlay (1903–1987) held that the insights of mystical experience can be philosophically analyzed and articulated in rational form. Findlay provided two routes to the “mystical pole of the cosmos.” In the first, he appealed to the related notions of impersonality and impartiality to transcendentally deduce a “firmament of values,” which coalesce into an apical...

Sixty years of linguistic change in the poetry of a Zen practitioner: a longitudinal case study of Gary Snyder

Frontiers in Psychology September 25, 2026 Ping Guo, Wei Fan

Moreover, for the...
