This article explores the transformations of the idea of reincarnation and its anthropological significance in the context of Helena Blavatsky’s theosophical-philosophical legacy and contemporary humanities of the 20th–21st centuries.

As a universal music form in the world, shamanic music not only retains its religious (divine) nature in the historical construction but also shows different national characteristics with the embedding of specific cultural scene patterns. Citing the perspective of ethnomusicology, the source of religious consciousness of the current shamanic music object form is explained with “music in...
Having analyzed the main problems of time, consciousness and energy in Indian and European cultures (using the example of the work of the most prominent thinkers of the 20th century, Sri Aurobindo, M.Heidegger and A.Badiou), one can see a number of fundamental patterns inherent in these cultures. Since, according to Sri Aurobindo, not only people but also gods have consciousness, it is shown...

The study of consciousness is gaining importance in both neuroscience and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We show here that an advanced White Matter (WM) tractography method, termed gridography, can explore the potential integration of two prominent theories of consciousness: Global Workspace Theory (GWT) and Integrated Information Theory (IIT). Using gridography on...

This study asks what it means to question quietness (hēsychia): to treat a state cultivated in long silence as something that can, after an unpredictable wait, be brought to speech. Its primary witness is the spiritual autobiography of Archimandrite Sophrony Sakharov (1896–1993), read alongside the transcribed record of his Monday meetings with the monastic community of St John the Baptist in...
