There is variety model of dakwah, one of them is mystical dakwah. This model tends to reach spiritual consciousness (ma’rifat) which is sometimes hard to be understood. However, KH.Abdoel Ma’ruf through Wahidiyah Sufism was successfully implemented such mystical dakwah. This writing is based on a library research. Data was analyzed using content analysis by selecting and classifying similar...
The present article discusses the methodological assumptions for the study of the religious phenomenon according to the lines drawn in the various works of Angela Ales Bello, Italian philosopher, interpreter of the thinking of Edmund Husserl and Edith Stein in his various works. The task of this research is to understand how phenomenological philosophy can contribute to rethinking the internal...
Objective This report documents the phenomenology of the subjective experiences of 22 patients with substance-related disorders who were involved in a treatment combining cognitive–behavioral therapy and hospital sessions with ibogaine in Brazil. Methods Participants underwent a one-to-one semi-structured interview exploring the subjective effects of ibogaine. We employed interpretative...
Todd Feinberg, professor of psychiatry and neurology, and Jon Mallatt, professor of biology and medical sciences, have written a fascinating book that will both appeal to and agitate readers from a range of disciplines. The book tries to shed light on some of the more puzzling features of consciousness and in particular to bridge the infamous “explanatory gap” between neuroscience and the...
This paper aims to present a bibliographic review on near-death experience (NDE) and discuss its consequences, considering it as a mystical experience. NDE is an anomalous phenomenon which happens to some patients, generally, during or close to clinical death. When reanimated and conscious, the patient usually reports out-of-body experience, contact with deceased loved ones, a trip through a...
Dyspnoea, a subjective experience of breathing discomfort, is a most distressing symptom. It implicates complex cortical networks that partially overlap with those underlying bodily self-consciousness, the experience that the body is one's own within a given location (self-identification and self-location, respectively). Breathing as an interoceptive signal contributes to bodily...
Despite great progress in neuroscience, there are still fundamental unanswered questions about the brain, including the origin of subjective experience and consciousness. Some answers might rely on new physical mechanisms. Given that biophotons have been discovered in the brain, it is interesting to explore if neurons use photonic communication in addition to the well-studied electro-chemical...
A reliable measure of consciousness is of great interest for various clinical applications including sleep studies and the assessment of depth of anaesthesia. A number of measures of consciousness based on the EEG have been proposed in the literature and tested in studies of dreamless sleep, general anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness. However, reliability has remained a persistent...
PURPOSE: Approaching death seems to be associated with physiological/spiritual changes. Trajectories including the physical-psychological-social-spiritual dimension have indicated a terminal drop. Existential suffering or deathbed visions describe complex phenomena. However, interrelationships between different constituent factors (e.g., fear and pain, spiritual experiences and altered...
