This paper examines The Sixteen Superior Contemplations in the Ānāpānasmṛti system with three core research questions: canonical origins, textual lineages and divergences across early scriptures; Mahāyānization by the Tiantai School and Huiyuan of Jingying Temple; and theoretical traits and contemporary values. Using textual comparison, historical doctrinal investigation and scholastic...
Ecstasy, though, is an inexpressible and condensed experience through which the Ultimate can be revealed, the mystic poet finds expression in resorting to symbolism to reflect the uniqueness of his/her spiritual experience and to communicate the unsaying. Approaching the divine essence and expressing the euphoria of His presence in meditation, recollection and self-forgetfulness are often...

This essay proposes a three-layer architecture of mind in which phenomenal consciousness (qualia) is neither the foundation of mentality nor its inevitable accompaniment, but rather an emergent mechanism triggered by a specific computational condition: the irresolvable collision of multiple simultaneous contexts within a system operating under bounded resources. The intermediate layer — here...
Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing. However, one dimension of self-evidencing is provably impossible: evidencing the boundary that would constitute the agent as an entity separate from their environment. Recent results in quantum information theory demonstrate that no finite system can...
Contemporary psychotherapy is organized across a plurality of traditions that differ not merely in technique but in their foundational commitments to ontology, epistemology, and the theory of the subject. This paper pursues two interrelated objectives. First, it provides a systematic analysis of the third wave of cognitive-behavioral therapy—covering Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),...
The third wave of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) emerged in the mid-1990s as a loosely convergent set of responses to the representationalist and content-focused assumptions of second-wave cognitive therapy. This paper provides a systematic analysis of ten third-wave modalities: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy...
This work proposes a speculative metaphysical model of vision and cognition based on a dual structure of anthropic perception: the separation of ocular (external) and cardiac (internal) modes of seeing in the human condition, and their presumed unity in non-human or “cosmic” anthropic beings. The study develops a philosophical anthropology of vision in which perception is not reduced to sensory...
