La structure du comportement details consciousness-nature relations by navigating between realist and intellectualist alternatives. A phenomenological reading of form guides its attempt to formulate a view that does not reduce consciousness to matter or perceptual structure to a product of mind. I show that this strategy relies on hitherto overlooked idealist commitments. Forms are perceived...

Fowler's model of faith development downplayed the importance of personal spiritual experience; instead, he stressed the need for the development of intellectual and moral reasoning in children. In such a model, spiritual development is in danger of being conflated with religious instruction and is more likely to meet the needs of religious institutions than those of children. This author's...

People typically become aware that a dream was “just a dream” only after awakening. Alternatively, people can become aware that they are dreaming during the dream. These lucid dreams are thought to involve increased prefrontal cortex activity relative to non-lucid dreams, and they are associated with volitional control over dream content. Lucid dreams could be valuable for many purposes, such...

The crucial stage had now been reached - the borderland area between sleep, and lucid dreaming or astral projection. The act of transfer was all-important. Modern occultists use the term ‘skrying’ for this type of activity. In essence it resembles the shaman-istic journey into the hinterland of the subconscious. Carlos Castaneda’s transformation into a crow now assumes special significance as...

Physical systems are characterized by their structure and dynamics. But the physical laws only express relations, and their symmetries allow any possible relational structure to be also possible in a different parametrization or basis of the state space. If observers were reducible to their structure, observer-like structures from different parametrizations would identify differently the...

She invites the reader to ponder “how does ‘self’ incorporate the aspects of spirit and soul?” and other dichotomies such as self and Self, Self and non-self. Theories and...
