Dr. Phani Mohanty occupies a distinctive position in contemporary Odia literature, particularly in the development and continuation of Neo-Romantic poetry. His poetic world is deeply rooted in love, longing, memory, nature, mythology, separation, desire and the inward movement of consciousness. Only in Love, the English translation of his Odia collection Kebala Premare, translated by Dr. Sonali...

We challenge Seth's claim that simulations of consciousness necessarily lack the causal powers or intrinsic properties of real consciousness. We argue that Seth's position risks begging the question against computational functionalism and faces a dilemma over the reducibility of qualia. This weakens his case, leaving open the possibility that simulations could, in principle, realize consciousness.

He developed a model of mental development extending into extraordinary development and mystical states of consciousness. In this presentation, The Preconscious and Its Creative Power, given at the...

Abstract Chapter Five charts how psychedelic culture and the early Grateful Dead catalyzed a new American vocabulary for transformation—spiritual, aesthetic, and political—while revealing the tensions embedded in that promise. It opens with Richard Alpert’s 1966 encounter with the Dead at the Fillmore, where Primal Dead’s volatile improvisation, light shows, and collective ecstasy suggested a...

Abstract Chapter Four follows the “turning wheel” of psychedelic awakening as it moved from private epiphany to collective ritual, tracing the converging paths of Ken Kesey’s Pranksters, Timothy Leary’s Millbrook circle, and the embryonic Grateful Dead. It begins with Furthur, the Day-Glo-painted Prankster bus that carried a crew of LSD-fueled experimenters across America in 1964—part road...

This paper advances a single, unambiguous thesis: artificial intelligence systems cannot experience fear. Not now, not in any foreseeable future, and not for reasons that better hardware or more sophisticated software will resolve. Fear is not a computation. It is not a software feature awaiting implementation. It is a neurobiological cascade — amygdala activation,...

Human consciousness cannot simultaneously possess the same state of awareness of both the Reality of God and the existence of the Universe within the ordinary framework of space-time; as consciousness approaches a higher order, its relation to space-time approaches a limiting condition. Spiritual-Self (Spirit & Gnosis) and Natural-self (Body & Mind). The Dual nature of Human being, the self in...

The Yagya (Vedic Sacrificial offering) is rooted in Indian Knowledge systems. By integrating Vedic ritual and wisdom with ideologies of social welfare, it promotes psychological well-being and social inclusion. Yagya, also known as Yagya, is a multifaceted discipline with a subtle science at its core. It is sometimes thought of as just a ritual. This paper explores the triadic conception of...

Yagya is a very foundational practice in Vedic tradition. It is a holistic system which integrates rituals and philosophies with subtle energy transformation aimed at the purification of body, mind and the environment. A very important aspect of Yagya is the Yagya Agni (sacrificial fire). Yagya Agni is not merely a physical phenomenon but it is a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing...

This paper attempts to find similar grounds in the poetic mysticism of Bengali polymath nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) and the metaxological metaphysics of the contemporary Irish philosopher William Desmond (b. 1951), by casting the philosopher-poet not as an autonomous master of systems, but as a peripatetic pilgrim-poet venturing toward Transcendence. Defying the historical...
