Book Description
Our conscious matrix tries to make sense out of everything--from simple to profound. Our concept of God is the highest concept in our mind, and it shapes all concepts that are subordinate. The depth and breadth of our belief supports the conclusion that God truly exists; He is real. Our belief in God represents something real in the same way the visual consciousness represent a reality that is the world around us. We can test the hypothesis that our concept of God represents something real using the same method that scientists use. Our minds are deeply entangled with the mind of God. Quantum mind theory shows us how that is possible. As newborn infants, we're equipped with the ability to connect to others, to learn language, and to create and invent all that we need to carry out our lives. There's good evidence that our soul is already connected to the soul of God, and that's what enables a readiness to do all that humankind is capable of doing. But just as our conscious matrix connects us to God before birth, we may remain connected to God for all eternity. These and other ideas are explored. Our belief in God directly impacts our life and other people's lives around us. We can look at how religion developed and compare that to how the human mind develops. Our conscious experience of God has existed since ancient times. Christianity today has the most adherents of any major religion. But we are not alone in our belief in God. Nearly all the major religions today possess some of the same fundamental core beliefs. By examining beliefs over time and across geographical locations, we gain a better understanding of how human beings perceive God. Dr. Nancy Woolf is a professor emeritus in the psychology department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she spent 30 years before retiring in 2009. She currently lives in Las Vegas. Her research and teaching focused on higher cognition, including microtubules and tubulin proteins in learning, memory, and higher consciousness. Nancy has contributed more than 75 articles to various scholarly journals and two books. She's also the recipient of the Colby Prize from the Sigma Kappa Foundation in 1990, a Distinguished Teaching Award from UCLA in 2008, and the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.

Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
Author: David J. Chalmers
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393635813
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
A leading philosopher takes a mind-bending journey through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place within it. Virtual reality is genuine reality; that’s the central thesis of Reality+. In a highly original work of “technophilosophy,” David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future. He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in a virtual world already. Along the way, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of big ideas in philosophy and science. He uses virtual reality technology to offer a new perspective on long-established philosophical questions. How do we know that there’s an external world? Is there a god? What is the nature of reality? What’s the relation between mind and body? How can we lead a good life? All of these questions are illuminated or transformed by Chalmers’ mind-bending analysis. Studded with illustrations that bring philosophical issues to life, Reality+ is a major statement that will shape discussion of philosophy, science, and technology for years to come.

Dark Light Consciousness
Author: Edward Bruce Bynum
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594776865
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
How to awaken the Ureaus--the serpent power of spiritual transcendence within each of us--and connect to the superconscious of the universe • Reveals the biochemistry of how the body’s melanin provides the template for the subtle energy body or light body • Shows how embracing the dark light consciousness of the awakened Ureaus opens a portal to the sacred darkness of the superconscious • Provides illustrated instructions for meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga postures to safely awaken Ureaus/Kundalini energy Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Ureaus” in ancient Egyptian texts and “Kundalini” in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself. Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together. With illustrated instructions, he shows how to safely awaken and stabilize the spiritual energy of the Ureaus through meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga postures as well as how to prepare the subtle body for transdimensional soul travel. By embracing the dark light of the shining serpent within, we overcome our collective fear of the vast living darkness without. By embracing the dark, we transcend reality to the dimension of light.

Consciousness
Author: Ravi K. Puri Ph.D.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546213791
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Consciousness: The Ultimate Reality explores all aspects of consciousness. It is a well-written, well-researched work that I find unique in that it delves deep into the subject while still being easy to understand. That combination is difficult to accomplish and Dr. Puri has done an excellent job. I highly recommend this book; its well worth the readers time (Elizabeth Davis, Newspaper columnist and freelance editor, Boonville, MO). A very insightful perspective on consciousness. A marvelous explanation portraying the subtleties of consciousness that is comprehensive and very easy to understand. A reading for a soul-searching, hungry world (Cynthia Neff, Columbia, MO). Consciousness is a very complex subject and has always baffled me. The book is an eye opener for me. I am blown away by the expression of the author. Very simple, comprehensive, well written, amazing insight. A read that will stay with you a life time. A mind stretched can never go back to its original form. Captivating (Lisa McKinzie, President/CEO of McKinzie & Company, Osage Beach, MO). This thought-provoking, beautifully written book has deep, rich insights on higher truth and its relationship with consciousness. It serves as an inspiration for those ready to begin their quest on the path of self-knowledge. A fascinating and clearly annotated study. Not only is Dr. Puri a deep thinker but also a deep knower (Linda Castillon, Director of the Transcendental Meditation Program, Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield, Iowa).

Consciousness Explained Better
Author: Allan Combs
Publisher: Paragon House
ISBN: 9781557788832
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Consciousness Explained Better is a unique contribution. This compact volume represents thousands of years of humanity's struggle to understand consciousness from a wide variety of perspectives. It is an up-to-date digest of the search in bite-sized chapters. Allan Combs has managed to encapsulate and synthesize vast bodies of thought and research without dilution. He has made even the most mind-twisting arguments and questions comprehensible, and he has brought forward scholarship and rigorous inquiry in language that speaks to the heart as well as the head. This book satisfies with its comprehensiveness yet intrigues with all that still remains enigmatic. It brings forward the yearning, the brilliance, the awe, and the outrageous audacity of our search to understand conscious. It reminds us that, in a world where much of our lives on a mundane basis has been reduced to the trivial, the logistical, and the manageable, everything about that world and about ourselves is still completely beyond our grasp. We still live and move in the Great Mystery. --From the Foreword by Jenny Wade, author of Changes of Mind and Transcendent Sex

Book Description
The Cambridge Handbook of Consciousness is the first of its kind in the field, and its appearance marks a unique time in the history of intellectual inquiry on the topic. After decades during which consciousness was considered beyond the scope of legitimate scientific investigation, consciousness re-emerged as a popular focus of research towards the end of the last century, and it has remained so for nearly 20 years. There are now so many different lines of investigation on consciousness that the time has come when the field may finally benefit from a book that pulls them together and, by juxtaposing them, provides a comprehensive survey of this exciting field. An authoritative desk reference, which will also be suitable as an advanced textbook.

Consciousness without the Infinite Regress
Author: Guenter Albrecht-Buehler
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527593622
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Unlike other social animals, humans have evolved far too much analytical intelligence to let us naturally agree with each other’s actions. Nevertheless, in the short span of a few million years, we have become the most effectively cooperative species on the planet, and this book argues that this is owing to our consciousness. So far, consciousness has stubbornly defeated our attempts to explain it as a product of non-mental elements. The ultimate reason for this failure is that we are conscious of being conscious. As a result, all non-mental based explanations lead to endless chains of infinite regress. Therefore, this book proposes to drop the requirement of non-mental elements as explanations of consciousness for the time being, and instead base our explanations on elements that are already ‘borderline-conscious’. Be they prime (single) or compound, all qualia form with lightning speed in our mind, and are always experienced as singular, unique, and personal. They play for our mind the same role that ‘hashes’ (short, standardized, unambiguous, and unique tokens of immensely large and complex ‘originals’) play for our modern information technology. Therefore, using concepts derived from Arthur Schopenhauer, Bertrand Russell, Glaucoma, Hash functions (SHA-2), and the logical connective ‘XOR’ (exclusive OR), this book defines consciousness as a super-compound quale, which combines all compound qualia that are present at every moment in everyone’s mind.

The Oxford Companion to Consciousness
Author: Tim Bayne
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191021032
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 1669
Book Description
Consciousness is undoubtedly one of the last remaining scientific mysteries and hence one of the greatest contemporary scientific challenges. How does the brain's activity result in the rich phenomenology that characterizes our waking life? Are animals conscious? Why did consciousness evolve? How does science proceed to answer such questions? Can we define what consciousness is? Can we measure it? Can we use experimental results to further our understanding of disorders of consciousness, such as those seen in schizophrenia, delirium, or altered states of consciousness? These questions are at the heart of contemporary research in the domain. Answering them requires a fundamentally interdisciplinary approach that engages not only philosophers, but also neuroscientists and psychologists in a joint effort to develop novel approaches that reflect both the stunning recent advances in imaging methods as well as the continuing refinement of our concepts of consciousness. In this light, the Oxford Companion to Consciousness is the most complete authoritative survey of contemporary research on consciousness. Five years in the making and including over 250 concise entries written by leaders in the field, the volume covers both fundamental knowledge as well as more recent advances in this rapidly changing domain. Structured as an easy-to-use dictionary and extensively cross-referenced, the Companion offers contributions from philosophy of mind to neuroscience, from experimental psychology to clinical findings, so reflecting the profoundly interdisciplinary nature of the domain. Particular care has been taken to ensure that each of the entries is accessible to the general reader and that the overall volume represents a comprehensive snapshot of the contemporary study of consciousness. The result is a unique compendium that will prove indispensable to anyone interested in consciousness, from beginning students wishing to clarify a concept to professional consciousness researchers looking for the best characterization of a particular phenomenon.
