The differences between SoS theory and quantum consciousness ones imply that it should be possible to make predictions of phenomena allowable in SoS theory but forbidden in all quantum consciousness ones, which isn&s;t necessarily an easy task given Richard Feynman&s;s dictum that &s;anything not forbidden in quantum theory is compulsory&s;. One of the SoS claims is that there is likely to be...

The cycle of life starts with conception and progresses to birth, maturity, old age, and death. We know a significant amount about what happens during most of these stages; however, the final step, death, defies many of our attempts to study and comprehend it. The cultural rituals that surround death attest to our fascination with this concluding stage of life. Cultures often look at death as a...

This paper is the product of an interdisciplinary, interreligious dialogue aiming to outline some of the possibilities and rational limits of supernatural religious belief, in the light of a critique of David Hume’s familiar sceptical arguments – including a rejection of his famous Maxim on miracles – combined with a range of striking recent empirical research. The Humean nexus leads us to the...

We argue that "non-local" events require further descriptors for us to understand the degree of non-locality, what the framework of the observer describing it is, and where we humans are located relative to the ostensible non-locality. This suggests three critical factors: Relative to, from the framework of, and a hierarchy of "to what degree?" "Non-locality" without the prefix "relative"...

End-of-life experiences go by various terms, including near-death experiences (NDEs), deathbed visions, deathbed phenomena, deathbed coincidences, and nearing death awareness. Deathbed escorts is the term applied to the vision of deceased family members or friends who inform the dying person that they will be accompanied in the transition from life. In this article, I examine the subject of...

Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) survivors experience cognitive deficits including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is unclear whether these are related to cognitive/mental experiences and awareness during CPR. Despite anecdotal reports the broad range of cognitive/mental experiences and awareness associated with CPR has not been systematically studied. Methods: The incidence and...

The nature of near-death-experiences (NDEs) is largely unknown but recent evidence suggests the intriguing possibility that NDEs may refer to actually "perceived," and stored, experiences (although not necessarily in relation to the external physical world). We adopted an integrated approach involving a hypnosis-based clinical protocol to improve recall and decrease memory inaccuracy together...

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are profound psychic experiences commonly occurring in life-threatening conditions. They include feeling a sense of peace, of seeing a bright light, encountering deceased relatives or religious figures, and of transcending space and time. To explain them, it has been suggested that they stem from brain disorders and/or psychological reactions to approaching death,...

Abstract In this essay, I examine conceptual metaphors of the camera eye as figurations of the cinematic dispositif that reflect on sensory and symbolic aspects of cinema. Since camera-eye metaphors often hypothesize between medial, formal and experiential dimensions of film, they are particularly insightful for studying embodied conceptualizations of cinema. Drawing on insights from...
