Les mécanismes sous-jacents à la richesse des états de conscience chez l'humain demeurent mal connus. Cette thèse étudie l’organisation temporo-spectro-spatiale des dynamiques neuronales au sein de l'état de référence et des états de conscience modifiés par les psychédéliques. L’étude 1 caractérise la manière dont l'architecture anatomique du cerveau contraint l’activité électrophysiologique,...
This paper presents a cross-disciplinary, comparative analysis bridging the metaphysical foundations of Advaita Vedanta and the empirical formulations of modern quantum mechanics. Classical Newtonian physics long enforced a reductionist, dualistic paradigm of reality, viewing the universe as a collection of isolated, localized material entities. However, the advent of quantum mechanics...
The escalating ecological crisis has generated renewed scholarly interest in environmental ethics that transcend materialist and anthropocentric paradigms. Spiritual ecology has emerged as an interdisciplinary framework that interprets environmental degradation not merely as a scientific or political issue but as a crisis of consciousness and values. This paper undertakes a comparative study of...
Śrīkṣetra (Purī, Odisha) is the abode of Lord Jagannātha, the ruling divinity, who holds a unique position in the religious, philosophical and cultural history of India. Jagannātha stands as a representative of a more universal and inclusive conception of deity outside sectarian borders, as opposed to traditional images of Visnu or Krsna. The theological importance of Lord Jagannātha is not...
The relationship between science and spirituality has long inspired humanity’s search for a deeper understanding of existence. Recent developments in quantum physics have introduced concepts such as energy fields, wave functions, interconnectedness, and vibration, which resonate intriguingly with ancient Indian spiritual philosophies. This research does not propose new physics. It explores...
An expanding body of advanced functional neuroimaging research, particularly using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET, has sought to characterize the neurologic foundations of consciousness. Investigations have examined a broad spectrum of conscious states, as well as experimental methods for inducing alterations in conscious experience. These states range from typical waking awareness to various...
Dr. Phani Mohanty's Ahalyā represents one of the most philosophically sophisticated achievements in modern Odia poetry. Although the poem has generally been interpreted as a feminist reinterpretation of the Ramayana myth or as an exploration of gendered suffering, such readings only partially illuminate its remarkable philosophical architecture. The present study argues that Ahalyā is...
This paper explores whether some religious and spiritual experiences (RSEs) associated with depression resemble hypomania/mania. Content analysis and phenomenological analysis were used to characterize first-person RSE reports associated with depression (N = 249). Findings reveal that some RSEs that follow depression are characterized by long-duration states (lasting days to weeks) of positive...
Sufism, as a tradition of Islamic mysticism, places the human spiritual journey at the core of the divine quest. This article focuses on the experience of Baqa, the continuity of consciousness after the annihilation of the Fana self. As a phenomenon that can be analyzed through Husserl's Epoche method, which suspends empirical worldly assumptions to reveal the pure structure of consciousness....

The accelerating dominance of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies has profoundly reshaped human cognition, emotion, and moral sensibility, while also generating new forms of psychological fragmentation and spiritual detachment. This study introduces Digital Sufism as a spiritually grounded and philosophically integrative framework for restoring inner equilibrium and sacred...
