Albert Einstein stated that “Science without religion is blind; and religion without science is lame”. This Literary study has objective of integration between concept of MANAS & Quantum Biology to provide a realistic decodation of the kinetics, dynamics, energetics, operational mechanisms, and interrelations of Manas; considering elevated incidence of mental ailments, especially among younger...
This decade of spiritual meditation is heatedly being discussed among researchers to improve the recovery models of substance addictions such as drugs, marijuana, alcohol and similar existing by incorporating spiritual aspects into a biopsychosocial model. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a model of substance abuse recovery that needs to be developed so that current patterns...
Request for Proposals - Exploring expanded consciousness and endogenous DMT Sponsor: DMT Quest Aim of Funding This funding seeks to advance scientific understanding of consciousness, human potential, and the mechanisms underlying expanded awareness. Eligible research may investigate endogenous N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and its role in human consciousness, but we also welcome innovative...
Fear of death is often pathologised, yet little research has examined its unique links to different aspects of an individual’s life. This study investigated the unique associations among fear of death, psychological distress, mindfulness, compassion, life limiting illness, spirituality, meaning in life, and self-esteem using network analysis. It also explored the potential influence of...

ObjectivesSelf-transcendent and non-dual states of awareness are increasingly investigated in research on mechanisms underpinning contemplative practices and their mental health applications. This study presents initial validation of a new measure of such states - Inventory of Modes of Existential Awareness (IMEA) - based on a typology of 15 distinct self-transcendent states - modes of...
Over the past decade, research with psychedelics has gained new momentum, leading to a psychedelic renaissance in both basic and clinical research. Among these substances is ayahuasca, an Amazonian plant medicine used for millennia by indigenous people for ritualistic and healing practices, which has recently entered research labs in the Americas and Europe. Preliminary findings indicate its...

The rainbow body (Jalü in Tibetan Buddhism) represents a profound spiritual attainment, and it is said that the physical form dissolves into light at the time of death. This paper proposes a novel hypothesis: the visual component of the rainbow body experience, as vividly perceived in personal meditative encounters, can be understood as a complex, dynamic phosphene-movie, a vivid internal...
The mechanisms underlying consciousness and its potential continuity beyond biological death remain pivotal challenges in neuroscience. This study integrates quantum biology, cognitive psychology, and thought experiments to propose a novel framework in which consciousness persists through hypothetical particles. Using three hypothetical scenarios—brain revival, molecular disassembly/reassembly,...
Black Americans with disabilities experience a range of inequities including barriers to access, social stigmatization, and health outcomes that are greater than both their White and their nondisabled peers. This conceptual article explains in detail these inequities. The authors provide an overview of the existing models of disability used in counseling, healthcare, research, and educational...
