However, the observations encompassed by classical physics excludes the observer from the physical reality, yet the deep-down understandung of nature --{\it the quantum theory}-- can not avoid the intrusion of observer into the measurement process. Indeed, the quantum physics experiments have knocked the door of a new paradigm: in which science of consciousness is an important axiom. In the...
This essay discusses the idea that a Theory of Everything would not be complete without a theory of consciousness as one of its parts, and the suggestion that new physics may be needed to describe consciousness. I argue that the motivations behind searching for such a theory arise as the result of misunderstandings over the use of language when talking about consciousness.
Physics is so successful today in understanding the nature of matter. What can it say about mind ? Is it possible to have a unified theory of matter and mind within the framework of modern science ? Is Consciousness an accident or is it a natural consequence of laws of nature ? Are these laws of nature the same as the laws of physics ? We make an attempt here to unify mind with matter based on...
The coherent physical theory of Psi phenomena is absent till now due to its high complexity and multilateral character. The original mechanism of Bivacuum mediated Psi phenomena, proposed here, is based on few stages of my long term efforts. They include creation of new theories: 1) Unified theory of Bivacuum, matter and fields duality, mass and charge origination as a result of Bivacuum...
We show that the modern quantum mechanics, and particularly the theory of decoherence, allows for formulating a sort of a physical metatheory of consciousness. Particularly, the analysis of the necessary conditions for the occurrence of decoherence, along with the hypothesis that consciousness bears (more-or-less) well definable physical origin, leads to a wider physical picture naturally...
Consciousness is the process by which one attributes `meaning' to the world. Considering F$\phi$llesdal's definition of `meaning' as the joint product of all `evidence' that is available to those who `communicate', we conclude that science can, not only reduce all the {\em evidence} to a Basic Entity (we call BE), but also can `explain' consciousness once a suitable definition for {\em...
This essay offers a reassessment of Teresa's severe seizures which were such a characteristic feature of her mysticism. The diagnosis of hysteria is no longer viable, at the very least given its abandonment by clinicians. An alternative analysis is developed by phenomenologically comparing Teresa's seizures to parallel experiences of subjects in LSD-assisted psychotherapy. Using Stanislav...
The theological work of St. Symeon the New Theologian, long marginalized by ”official” academic theology and preserved mainly within monastic circles, has in recent decades become the subject of growing scholarly interest. This article examines the originality of St. Symeon’s theology—rooted firmly in Scripture and Patristic Tradition, yet distinguished by the central place it gives to the...
Abstract: Yeats's theosophical efforts awakened him to supernatural entities and soul elements of the universe especially in Irish tradition and mythology. Yeats developed visions of another world and aspired to metaphysically achieve spiritual and universal significance. Yeats concretely located the everlasting philosophies in spiritual and universal significance. In the process Yeats’s poetry...
One of the cultural traditions in the Nusantara is knowing the names of the spirit kings of Java, found in the Kidungan literature attributed to Sunan Kalijaga, though few truly understand its philosophical depth. Using a phenomenological approach, this study examines its application for spiritual disturbances, particularly in treating spirit possession where literal interpretations often...
