When Time Stops: Inside the Mind’s Clock is a theoretical preprint monograph exploring how subjective time perception may relate to brain dynamics, informational complexity, and cytoskeletal processes. The work introduces the Scalar Clock Model, in which subjective duration is represented by a scalar variable (φ) whose accumulation rate may be influenced by large-scale neural activity and...

Recent research shows that young children frequently report non-ordinary experiences, including extra sensory perceptions, out-of-body experiences, and states of self-transcendence, reflecting relational, pre-linguistic, and weakly individualised forms of consciousness. This paper integrates qualitative studies of children’s experiences with contemporary altered states of consciousness (ASC)...

The gut-brain axis (GBA) represents an intricate, multidirectional communication network linking the enteric and central nervous systems, immune pathways, endocrine signaling, the microbiome, and the lived experience of consciousness itself.Classical biomedical models successfully describe many mechanisms within the GBA, yet they do not fully explain the system's rapid responsiveness, emotional...

Quantum medicine proposes that healing and health are not merely biochemical phenomena, but emergent properties of consciousness structured through nested informational layers. This paper introduces a Five-Body Model of Consciousness—Bliss Body, Supramental Body, Mental Body, Vital Body, and Physical Body—each representing progressively denser expressions of quantum information into biological...

Background: Advancing age is frequently associated with balance impairment, increased fall risk, and psychological distress, which together contribute to loss of independence and reduced quality of life. Yoga, as a mind-body practice, has the potential to enhance physical stability as well as mental well-being in older adults. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects...

This article presents the study of an experimental methodology for the management of anxiety and depression based on Amit Goswami's quantum worldview, addressing the disorders of the mental, physical and vital levels to be worked also at the supramental level, where the creative process occurs through the attribution of new meanings to conditioned beliefs and patterns.The operational protocol...

This paper proposes a novel framework for understanding consciousness as an active participant in a quantum-informational universe. Through the lens of quantum epistemology, we introduce the concept of Epistemic Entanglement, positing that cognition is a non-local process wherein observer and observed co-create reality. Challenging representationalist views, we argue that consciousness...

Women diagnosed with endometriosis often experience heightened anxiety, depression, and a diminished quality of life (QoL). To address these issues, mindful breathing exercises have been introduced aimed at reducing anxiety and depression and enhancing overall QoL. This study aims to evaluate the levels and differences in anxiety, depression, and QoL among women with endometriosis before and...

How the concept of self-evidencing offers a philosophical principle for understanding mind and behavior, consciousness, value, wisdom, and meaning. What is it to be a human individual, an agent? According to Jakob Hohwy, it is to “self-evidence,” to actively seek out sensory evidence for one’s own model of oneself and the world. The Self-Evidencing Agent begins with a simple analysis of what it...

Material engagement theory, which forms the conceptual foundation of this book, is rooted in cognitive archaeology and anthropology but relates and draws insights from many adjacent fields of research in phenomenology and embodied cognitive sciences.In How Things Shape the Mind, 1 I offer a detail exposition of the major working hypotheses and the vision of mind that it embodies.Here, I pre...
