Consciousness Science

Secondo Osho «Il silenzio è la meditazione per eccellenza, ed è la base di qualsiasi esperienzareligiosa. Ma in cosa consiste? Potresti crearlo, potresti coltivarlo, potresti importelo... ma così rimane qualcosa di superficiale, di falso, una finzione. Potresti farne una pratica, in quel casoinizierai a percepirlo e a sperimentarlo; ma proprio il tuo farne un esercizio, lo renderà una sorta di autoipnosi. Quello non è il vero silenzio. Il silenzio vero affiora solo quando la tua mente si dissolve, non a causa di un qualsiasi sforzo, magrazie a una comprensione.

“La musica è meditazione: meditazione cristallizzata in una particolare dimensione. La meditazione è musica: musica che si dissolve nell’assenza di dimensioni. Ami la musica perché intorno ad essa senti accadere la meditazione. Ne sei assorbito, inebriato. Qualcosa dell’ignoto inizia a discendere in te. Il tuo cuore batte a un ritmo diverso: sei in sintonia con l’universo. All’improvviso sei immerso in un profondo orgasmo con il Tutto. Una danza sottile penetra nel tuo essere, una soglia chiusa da sempre inizia ad aprirsi.

“Lo Zen è un’esperienza improvvisa: non c’è preparazione, non ci sono prove, non c’è una disciplina, non c’è un sentiero” chiarisce Osho, e aggiunge: “All’improvviso apri gli occhi: come se un lampo ti avesse colpito, interrompendo il sonno di milioni di anni. In quell risveglio, conosci il mistero dell’esistenza.” A quella folgorante esperienza Osho avvicina in queste tredici immersioni, sollecitando il momento inevitabile che nella vita quotidiana si ha la tendenza a ignorare.

Di solito si vive in base a un’immagine di sé che si crea guardando e adeguandosi agli altri, a loro volta cresciuti adattandosi ai propri simili. Tutto ciò genera un mondo di apparenze che ruota intorno a finzioni che rivelano la loro vacuità di fronte a eventi improvvisi che mandano in frantumi ogni cosa. Oggi, in un mondo le cui condizioni continuano a mutare, si è sempre di più spinti a domandarsi quale sia davvero il volto dell’umanità, e quale il proprio vero volto.

“L’essere umano è una malattia. Le malattie lo colpiscono, ma l’uomo in quanto tale è a sua voltauna malattia. Quello è il suo problema, ed è anche la sua unicità; quella è la sua buona sorte, ma al tempo stesso è la sua sfortuna. Nessun altro animale sulla Terra ha un problema simile, nessuno deve confrontarsi con una simile ansia, con quella tensione, con quel disagio, con un simile stato patologico; cosa che invece l’essere umano deve fare”. Osho

You Are an Idea literally means what it says. You are literally an idea. There are very few among us that possess the level of self-awareness to understand that our reality takes place within a mental structure. Mankind and science will come to understand our framework of reality is far from what we think it is. Our understanding of who we are and how we create our own reality is about to make the kind of paradigm shift that no one sees coming, except for a few. Journey with J. Adrian and learn: what consciousness is; why the idea of a universe is outdated; where the theory of everything is hiding; and much more....

What is it that makes us human? Is it language, imagination, morality, or is it that we cook and wear shoes? Or perhaps we are less human than we think - Neanderthal and Denisovan genes can be found within all of us! Once again, New Scientist have all of the unexpected answers, and - just as they did for the universe in The Origin of (Almost) Everything - they take us on a tour around the human body and brain, taking in everything from evolution to email, from the Stone Age to Spotify.

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices

Consciousness is a virtual simulator par excellence and as such allows humans to have a rolodex of potential strategies when navigating in a world with ever-changing competitive concerns and environmental niches...The advent of virtual and augmented reality may serve as a useful pathway to better understand why consciousness evolved the way it did, primarily because the brain itself operates as a VR system, albeit a much more sophisticated one than Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.

Consciousness created the cosmos. It is the immortal, all-pervasive, omnipotent expanse of energy, which connects all mind and matter that has been or exists and will exist in future. Human perception is in spirit, creator, or divinity. Cosmic consciousness is the infinite intelligence which is the source and the cause of all existence. Cosmic consciousness is defined for our comprehension by whatever terminology and form that human minds can conjure up. Otherwise, infinite intelligence sustains everything. The unified field connects all mind and matter.

Filozofický esej z roku 1936 spadá do posledního období literární tvorby Josefa Čapka a je počítán mezi jeho nejvýznamnější opusy díky snaze o postižení smyslu a podstaty lidské existence. Autor a jeho druhé já zde vedou živou rozpravu o podstatných setkáních na cestě životem: s tělem, duší, různými věky člověka, smrtí, přírodou, uměním. Se vzorem v postavě v Komenského Labyrintu světa a ráje srdce, líčí symbolickou cestu člověka a konečný obrat do vlastního nitra, "do domu srdce svého". Za vrcholný znak lidství pokládá autor svobodnou duši, nezatíženou malostí a strachem.

The goal of this book is not merely a study of the past. It also raises questions about the goal of human life and its amazing creative potentialities. If these achievements of ancient or recent times were possible in the conditions of isolation and hostility by the surrounding world, what even greater achievements are possible in the future? Is there something in these geniuses’ lives and works that we can apply to our present dilemmas? It’s certainly worth taking a closer look at the greatest geniuses in all of history.

Based on direct conversations between our Founding Fathers, there are clear qualities, characteristics, and skills associated with the small minority of people who greatly influence the majority. Influencers rule every aspect of life. And life, at its most basic core, is every individual on the planet keeping score on every individual with whom they have any form of contact.

This philosophical book delves into the concept of truth, offering a thought-provoking exploration of how we come to know the world. Drawing on centuries of philosophical inquiry, the author examines the nature of reality, perception, and understanding, inviting listeners to engage with complex ideas and ask their own questions.

Reason has done much of the heavy lifting throughout history. This audiobook presents quotations from many of history's key figures who both recognize the importance—and also the limitations—of reason.

The purpose of this book is to reflect on a variety of common questions. Common, but difficult questions. What is the self? What does it mean to be conscious? What is morality made of? Is there logic in morality? Can reason alone justify moral action?

Understanding Reality & the Theory of Expression is a remarkable and groundbreaking book that will leave you with a newfound perspective on life and the world around you. This book was written by John Ogunyanwo, a British-born Nigerian man who wrote it while serving a six-year sentence in solitary confinement in a Japanese prison at the young age of 21, just coming into the adult years of his life as a man.

“Thoughts are things,” and they occupy space. They are alive and think themselves after their kind. They bring forth fruit according to the seed planted by thought in the mind. Tell me what kind of thoughts you are holding about yourself or your neighbor, and I will tell you what you will experience in health, finances, and family relations.
