Consciousness Science

"Awaken to Love" offers an integrated approach that unites diverse elements into a cohesive path towards restoring wholeness and presence. Drawing from IFS, Jungian psychology, psychosynthesis, and nonduality teachings, it introduces the "path of duonity"—a nested model that honors the distinct aspects of our being while recognizing their inseparability from the whole.

Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook.

Ruby Wax - comedian, writer and mental health campaigner - shows us how our minds can jeopardize our sanity. With her own periods of depression and now a Masters from Oxford in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy to draw from, she explains how our busy, chattering, self-critical thoughts drive us to anxiety and stress. If we are to break the cycle, we need to understand how our brains work, rewire our thinking and find calm in a frenetic world.

ما يسميه بعضهم لحظات سعادة مثل قدوم مولود، أو نجاح ابن، أو شفاء مريض، أو لحظة انتصار، أو وقفة تكريم وثناء واعتراف بفضل، أو تحقيق إنجاز واكتشاف؛ يرى آخرون أنها لحظات سرور وفرح لا ينبغي أن يوصف صاحبها بالسعادة؛ لأن السعادة. كما يرون. أكثر ثباتاً ودوامًا وشمولاً. فما هي السعادة وما حقيقتها ؟ وهل هي الغاية القصوى للإنسان ؟ وهل هي موضوعية أم ذاتية ؟ وما هي مقوماتها ووسائلها وخصائصها ؟ وهل هي ممكنة ؟ وهل يمكن أن توجد كاملة صافية ؟

¡Aunque no lo parezca, este libro es bastante serio! Una filosofía de vida para vivir bien de una buena vez, un audiolibro que busca dar una visión moderna del estoicismo. Aplicar el arte del Importaculismo Práctico es retomar el control y darle la importancia que corresponde a quien más lo merece: ¡Uno mismo! ¡Nos volvimos esclavos del qué dirán!

Since the election of Scott Walker, Wisconsin has been seen as ground zero for debates about the appropriate role of government in the wake of the Great Recession. In a time of rising inequality, Walker not only survived a bitterly contested recall that brought thousands of protesters to Capitol Square, he was subsequently reelected. How could this happen? How is it that the very people who stand to benefit from strong government services not only vote against the candidates who support those services but are vehemently against the very idea of big government?

In science fiction, artificial intelligence takes the shape of computers that can speak like people, think for themselves, and sometimes act against us. Reality of course is vastly different, though in many ways computers surpass their fictional counterparts. This book reviews work in the field and covers topics from chess-playing to quantum computing. The writers tackle how to make computers more powerful, how we define consciousness, what the hard problems are, and even how computers might be built once the limits of silicon chips have been reached.

What is the connection between physics and consciousness? In this groundbreaking new audiobook, Samuel Avery presents the quantum screen, a paradigm-shifting model of perceptual consciousness and of the world.

In this prize-winning essay for the 2021 Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies essay contest, Dr. Ruickbie examines the evidence for the survival of consciousness after death (“life after death”). Initially skeptical, he found that there was sufficient evidence from a wide variety of sources, including apparitions, reincarnation, near-death experiences, after-death communication, and premonitions, that met the contest’s criteria of being “beyond reasonable doubt.”

How all this emerges from a kilogram of brain cells is one of the greatest unanswered questions.
