Neuroprognostication for disorders of consciousness, particularly after cardiac arrest, is critical. However rapidly evolving research has translated little to clinical practice, with neuroprognostication frequently deviating from evidence and clinical guidelines. We implemented a novel program that provides specialized, interdisciplinary, and longitudinal care to improve the practice of...
With very few treatments available, post-comatose disorders of consciousness (DoC) pose one of the hardest challenges in modern neurology. Following promising clinical trial results in psychiatry, and a deepening understanding of their brain mechanisms, psychedelics have been suggested as a novel therapeutic drug for DoC patients, given that they increase the entropy or complexity of...
Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT) is a holistic therapeutic approach that seeks to uncover and heal unresolved issues from an individual's past lives, which may be influencing their current life experiences. Rooted in the belief of reincarnation, PLRT utilizes hypnosis or guided meditation to access memories from previous lifetimes. This therapeutic method has gained attention for its...
This paper examines the fundamental tension between two paradigms of textual engagement: the incarnational model, where language itself embodies and is saturated with divine presence, and the referential model, where text functions as signifier pointing toward transcendent truths beyond itself. Drawing on Kabbalistic, Hasidic, psychoanalytic, and postmodern frameworks, we explore how these...

Every movement requires the nervous system to solve a complex biomechanical control problem, but this process is mostly veiled from one's conscious awareness. Simultaneously, we also have conscious experience of controlling our movements-our sense of agency (SoA). Whether SoA corresponds to those neural representations that implement actual neuromuscular control is an open question with...
This paper examines the complex theological concept of the dark side of the Schechina (Divine Presence) as presented in contemporary Jewish mystical thought and its relationship to post-Holocaust theological discourse. Through close analysis of primary texts that explore the feminine divine in Jewish tradition from rabbinic literature through medieval Kabbalah to Hasidic texts and engaging with...
Purpose: By comparing and examining the concepts of sati in the Buddhist tradition and katharsis in Western philosophy, we propose an integrated approach to relieve negative emotions and induce psychological recovery. Object of study: The main object of analysis is the practice of sati in Buddhist scriptures and the theory of catharsis in Aristotle's Poetics and Politics. Method: Through...
Nondual awareness and nonduality have been discussed increasing in the psychological literature in the context of mindfulness-based interventions. Particularly later generations of such programs increasingly link mindfulness practice to spirituality or Buddhist philosophy. For that reason, terms related to nonduality, including nondualism and nondual awareness, are being discussed for a broader...
