The article is the result of a joint reflection by two artist-researchers on artistic-pedagogical practices of compassion and poetics of care in academia. Through two socially engaged art projects carried out in two different universities - at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and at Queensborough Community College at the City University of New York (CUNY-QCC) - the...

Abstract Previous research suggests that mindfulness and mind wandering are opposing constructs. However, little is known about why and how they are negatively related. Through a process-oriented approach, this study tested self-compassion and grit as mediators for the relation between mindfulness and mind wandering. A total of 487 meditators were recruited from the UK (241 female, 49.49%)....

A recent quantum model of consciousness proposes that neuronal clusters in the cortex switch from being an unconscious neural computer (when asleep) to a conscious quantum computer (when awake). The transition relies on feedback cooling, and is not unlike how a conductor becomes a superconductor when cooled. Here the model is explored in the context of sleepwalking, a peculiar but common...
Anthropology of Consciousness August 21, 2023 L. Mehl‐madrona 1 citation
Ecofeminists, environmental activists, and ecologists are calling humans to change our relationships to other‐than‐humans and more‐than‐humans. Indigenous people and knowledge systems are often exemplified as ways for non‐Indigenous people to relate to these entities. While Indigenous people have historically participated in epistemologies and modes of perception that rendered them more able to...

This paper sets out a theory of how feedback cooling in the brain switches on consciousness. It explains how cooling reduces thermal noise to the point where macroscale quantum phenomena - crucially Bose-Einstein condensation and long-range coherence - can operate at body temperature. It takes the core idea from Stapp that mind and brain interact via some sort of oscillator and then focuses on...

The Ganapati Tattwa text is one of the local wisdom texts in Old Javanese. This scripture is a reflection of true knowledge. The Ganapati Tattwa script is a derivative of knowledge from the Vedas, and its content is comprehensive because it does not only contain the concept of Hindu theo-cosmology but also a way to connect with oneself and achieve the realization of God consciousness. The...

The Thai forest tradition, or Thai northeastern forest tradition, which originated from King Lama IV’s religious revolution, is one of the most important meditation practice traditions in Thailand. This tradition aims to achieve final liberation through strict meditation practice. The unique meditation technique they promote is the recitation of the mantra “Buddho”. They practice the recitation...

Introduction: When analyzing the main depressive conditions and their treatments, we understand that it is not so simple to take care of psychosomatic conditions, because it is a pathology that has a significant epidemiological aspect and needs a good approach, therefore, psychedelic drugs come in as a an important alternative as a treatment. Methodology: This is a literature review with...
Qeios August 18, 2023 Terry Hyland
Over a long career in the psychiatric profession spanning six decades, Thomas Szasz has forcefully argued that mental illnesses are mythical since all medical diseases are located in the body and, thus, have somatic causes. This has been accompanied by a scathing and coruscating critique of the whole mental health profession, particularly those psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists...

Either mathematics is too big for the human mind, or the human mind is more than a machine.-Kurt Godel the experienced unity (of the human mind) comes not from a neurophysiological synthesis but from the proposed integrating character of the self-conscious mind.
