This article explores, as a working hypothesis and not as a validated protocol, whether and how the symbolic structure of the five Tibetan chakras — colors, visualizations, syllables — can offer insights for psychological practice. The operation is conducted by clearly distinguishing between: the description of the Tibetan contemplative tradition, reported in its original context; a possible...

The distinction between the mind and body, their relatedness and respective properties is perhaps the single most persistent problem that faces philosophical contemplation. Various models have been proposed in order to overcome this gaping duality: idealism, occasionalism, epiphenomenalism, behaviourism, etc.. The model proposed within this thesis corresponds to psychophysical parallelism - a...

The rapid democratization of neurotechnology has ushered in an era of “The Quantified Mind,” where consumer neurowearables promise to enhance cognitive performance, meditation, and sleep.

African thought has long held the body as a primary site of knowing. In Nguni-Zulu epistemology, izinseka names a class of somatic knowing spanning pre-cognitive reflexive response to another’s distress, cultivated empathic sensitivity of caregivers, and refined diagnostic insight of isangoma. Western psychology has typically approached such knowing through a pathology frame, reading somatic...

Cognition across biological organisms operates in two layers. The first layer—operational cognition—encompasses all processes by which an organism perceives, evaluates, and responds to its environment. It is universal among autonomous biological agents and does not require consciousness. The second layer—reflective cognition—is the capacity to observe, abstract from, and reason about one’s own...

In Chapter 3, human consciousness is discussed, including the need for legal recognition of the capacity of humans to communicate, emote, and perceive. The impact of technology on consciousness and human bonding is noted, such as generative AI that may reduce human literacy and the capacity to communicate.

The Epiphenomenal Mind is both a deflationary attack on the powers of the human mind and a defence of human subjectivity. It is deflationary because in the thesis I argue that consciousness is an epiphenomenal consequence of events in the brain. It is a defence of human subjectivity because I argue that the mind is sui generis real, irreducible, and largely an endogenous product (i.e. not...
