본 논문은 반야심경을 활용한 止觀명상과 심리치료적 요인 그리고 空통찰이 정신분석치료?인지치료와 어떻게 소통?보완 될 수 있는지 고찰하였다. 먼저 반야심경을 활용한 止명상인 집중명상의 방법으로는 반야심경에서 일체 苦를 없앤다는 반야바라밀다 주문인”아제 아제 바라아제 바라승아제 모지사바하”라는 만트라(진언)를 염송하거나 또는 반야심경 독경을 통해 집중명상을 한다. 집중명상 수행의 결과는 삼매 또는 定을 얻는 것이다. 마음이 대상에 깊게 집중되어 있을 때 욕정, 탐욕, 분노, 무지, 자만과 같은 번뇌들이 대상에 몰입해 있는 마음에서 멀리 떨어져 나가게 된다는 것을 알 수 있다. 반야심경의 觀명상은 반야심경의 핵심사상인 空性을 관하는 것이다. 空 통찰명상의 심리치료적 요인으로, 먼저 sati명상의...

The previous chapters show that there are systematic correlations between conscious processes, events, states and properties and neural events, states, processes and properties and that these correlations are to varying degrees localized to particular cortical regions. The ever-growing mountains of evidence for such localized systematic covariations are grist for the reductionist's mill,...

InHow the Mind Uses the BrainRalph Ellis and Natika Newton develop a novel embodied, enactive theory of consciousness, according to which consciousness has its basis in neural systems that prepare the system to perform actions of emotional significance to the organism. Consciousness emerges out of self-organising processes which function in such a way as to contribute to, and maintain, the...

Explaining consciousness is one of the last great unanswered scientific and philosophical problems. Immediately known, familiar and obvious, consciousness is also baffling, opaque and strange. This introduction to the problems posed by consciousness discusses the most important work of cognitive science, neurophysiology and philosophy of mind of recent years and presents an up to date...

Transpersonal Psychology has been considered the fourth force in psychology, after behaviorism, psychoanalysis and thehumanist trend. It studies the states of consciousness and its application in health and education, and it understands humans as bio--psycho-social-spiritual beings. It integrates in practice many consecrated exercises used in Western and Eastern psychology. In the healthfield...

Shamanism is a widespread healing discipline, grounded in animism. Healing, divination, rain-making and settling disputes are among the shaman’s duties. Many people rely on shamans for primary health care and spiritual guidance. The mind, body and spirit are treated as a unit by shamans. The shaman will seek to determine the supernatural cause of an illness. This can be anything from the...

Mathematical approaches to modeling the mind since the 1950s are reviewed. Difficulties faced by these approaches are related to the fundamental incompleteness of logic discovered by K. G\"odel. A recent mathematical advancement, dynamic logic (DL) overcame these past difficulties. DL is described conceptually and related to neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy. DL models...

The article "Physics of Consciousness" treats mind as an abstract Hilbert space with a set of orthogonal base vectors to describe information like particles, which are considered to be the elementary excitation of a quantum field. A non-Hermitian operator of Self is introduced to create these information like particles which in turn will constitute a coherent information field. The non - zero...
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research December 14, 2010 Susanna Schellenberg 71 citations
I develop a view of the common factor between subjectively indistinguishable perceptions and hallucinations that avoids analyzing experiences as involving awareness relations to abstract entities, sense‐data, or any other peculiar entities. The main thesis is that hallucinating subjects employ concepts (or analogous nonconceptual structures), namely the very same concepts that in a subjectively...
