This study aims to describe the experiences of a Polish mystic who lived in the 19th and late 20th centuries, based on her writings. Through research involving comparisons, analyses, and a synthesis of her revelations, it has been possible to identify and highlight the diversity of Blessed Marcelina Darowska’s (1827–1911) inner life and achievements, which place her among contemplative and...

A Large Language Model fabricated a reference to Ferenczi: plausible title, believable date, convincing page number, all false. Starting from this scene, this essay traces a genealogy from the Cartesian evil demon to the LLM as a technical realisation of the closed-cognition fantasy, and interrogates a presupposition shared, in different ways, by Putnam's brain-in-a-vat thought experiment,...
Iconicity denotes an informative relation between the form of an utterance and the meaning of that utterance. With good design, an utterance directly invites a suitable perceiver with a certain initiation to grasp a meaning in the right direction. Despite the touted importance of iconicity in languaging, it proves difficult to define more formally. When the term is defined, researchers often...
Abstract It is well-established that phenomenology is about both existent and imaginary entities. The latter category encompasses necessary beings, hypothetical objects, possible objects, and modal properties. Given the vast range of potential intentional objects for intentional states, the total number of such mental states would vastly exceed the number of possible physical states. This...
The article develops the concept of the epistemic centaur – an emergent alliance between human consciousness and Communicative Artificial Intelligence (ComAI). ComAI denotes a new generation of language models functioning according to the logic of communication: they sustain the context of dialogue, read the pragmatics of discourse, respond to the interlocutor’s intention, and initiate new...
In Nigeria, where yoga is largely unknown and underused, recent socio-economic challenges- including inflation, burnout, and growing mental health challenges – make the need for a change in educational leadership model apparent. This paper projects a yoga-informed approach to educational leadership as a full, invigorative model for planning sustainable learning environments. Rooted in the...
Abstract Vayu is a mobile breathwork system comprising an iOS companion app and Apple Watch application that delivers slow, resonant breathing using screen-free haptic cues , HRV-adaptive pacing, and reflective journaling grounded in Patanjali’s five states of mind. The watchOS component provides tactile phase guidance and real-time biometric sensing (heart rate, HRV), while the iOS interface...
Contemporary psychiatric models conceptualize dissociative disorders primarily as stress-induced disruptions in the integration of consciousness, memory, and identity. While DSM-5-TR frameworks and classical psychopathology effectively describe the neurobiological and defensive mechanisms underlying dissociation, they provide limited explanation for the coherent, symbolically meaningful, and...
This article investigates the relationship between Buddhist philosophy and dietary practices. Through an analysis of the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, the text discusses how early Buddhism guides ethical and contemplative approaches to food in the pursuit of liberation from suffering. The article then explores dietary ethics within...
Mind‑body practices, such as meditation and yoga, involve paying attention to breathing sensations. During these practices, individuals report "interoceptive lapses," moments when attention drifts away from internal bodily sensations. While lapses in attention to the external world have been widely studied, little is known about the physiological and neural mechanisms of interoceptive lapses....
