Consciousness And The Universe

Image
A final synthesis is presented: syncretic idealism. This is a philosophical proposition that combines reoccurring aspects found in different formulations of idealism with elements from other philosophical systems of thought and insights from the evolving information-theoretic paradigm of physics. The aim is a novel worldview integrating concepts formerly only expressed in isolation. This emerging unified tapestry woven from the threads of ideas proposed over time by many keen thinkers offers a radical recontextualization of our notion of existence, a fresh understanding of being and the nature of reality, specifically related to information, complexity, consciousness, and meaning. Syncretic idealism presents a multi-tiered ontology, describing the transition from abstract quantum potentiality to the manifestation of complex actuality, outlining the assembly of physicality from the ontological fields of information fueling the computational engine at the core of reality, unveiling a tel...

Consciousness And The Universe

Image
The main focus of the book 'The Sapient Cosmos' is to assess the viability of a consciousness-only view of reality. In other words, how can we understand the recent renaissance of metaphysical idealism in the philosophy of mind? To this aim, the doctrine of physicalism, idealism’s antithesis, is scrutinized. Physicalism posits that everything in the universe can be reduced to and explained by physical entities, their properties, and interactions. It is a metaphysical proposition, assuming a materialist-reductionist ontology. Interestingly, physicalism has unwittingly been adopted by most scientifically-minded people who believe it to be a scientific claim. This, however, is a category mistake, as it conflates the descriptive scope of science with a metaphysical claim about the ultimate nature of reality. By definition, metaphysics begins where physics ends. So, while the latter inquires about the 'how', the former contemplates the 'what'. As a result, most acade...

Consciousness And The Universe

Image
Modern physics has revealed that the common-sense world we perceive through our rational consciousness is not a true reflection of fundamental reality — a realm that appears to be a ghostlike, incoherent, intangible, contradictory, constrained, but fundamentally interconnected substrate beneath the veneer of the seemingly physical. Finally, consciousness is unleashed. The many accounts of shamans, mystics, meditators, and psychonauts — all daring navigators of otherworldly realms accessible to consciousness — are investigated. A transcendental multiverse of pure experience is uncovered by these masters of consciousness, just waiting to be explored by anyone brave enough to go beyond the comforting familiarity of consensus reality. Moreover, a formidable blind spot in the modern Western mind’s understanding is revealed. This is reflected in pervasive psychedelic illiteracy and hostility towards altered states of consciousness, ignoring the long and rich role psychedelics have played in ...

Biophotons And Torsion Fields

Image
The new sciences of biophotons and torsion fields provide a bridge between two views of life: the old twentieth century view of an organism as a chemical machine and the emerging view of life as communication and energetic flows. In the new paradigm, DNA is the source of biophotons, governing cellular machinery, communications and behavior. It governs growth and metabolism, with high energetic efficiency. The coherent biophoton field forms a hologram throughout the body, telling each DNA molecule where it fits in the overall blueprint, and governing cell differentiation and specialization. With the creation of each biophoton there is also a torsion wave. Torsion is a widespread and important form of radiation which couples particle spins together, and propagates through space as a twisting wave in the metric. It results in a variety of new phenomena. These effects have been studied extensively for the past forty years, at multiple research centers in Russia. Their most important conclu...

The Dream World

Image
Most people think dreams are private, just figments of their own subconscious. Flickering images, leftover thoughts, bizarre narratives made up by a brain trying to organize its day. But that's a shallow interpretation of something far more profound. Because sometimes, what you dream wasn't yours to begin with. And sometimes, you're not the only one dreaming it. All over the world, from Indigenous tribes to ancient mystery schools, there have been whispers of what are now called 'shared dreams'. Two people, sometimes strangers, waking up with the same memory of the same place, the same events, the same conversation. They weren't dreaming alone. They were meeting, somewhere beyond the limits of the physical, in what Thoth and others described as the astral commons. A realm where minds untethered from bodies can converge. You might brush it off as coincidence, but science is slowly catching up. Studies in consciousness research including work by pioneers like Dr. ...

The Dream World

Image
Every night as your body sinks into sleep, something extraordinary begins. Your breath slows, your muscles relax, and your mind drifts into what science calls the REM stage. But what they don't fully explain, what they can't explain with electrodes and graphs, is that in this moment, your consciousness slips through the cracks of physical perception and begins to move. Where it goes depends on one thing, vibration. And this is the part they've hidden, not just from textbooks, but from your entire culture. You've been taught to believe that dreams are random firings in a resting brain, leftovers from the day, useless imagery. But ancient knowledge, especially the teachings of Thoth, tells a different story entirely. Dreams are not noise. They're records. They're snapshots of the places your consciousness visits when your physical senses go offline. And when you begin to remember them, not just the content, but the feeling behind them, you realize something earths...

Extended DMT Trips

Image
The development of a prolonged N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) experience would be an important step towards allowing for a closer study of its phenomenology and neurobiological effects, and would make it possible to control the length, intensity, and dynamics of the DMT experience, with the potential for real-time adjustment. This could make extended DMT a valuable tool in conjunction with therapy, to tailor the psychedelic effects to the individual needs of each patient and their clinical condition, as well as for consciousness research, whereby the intensity of the DMT experience can be adjusted according to specific hypotheses and research questions. Continuous infusions of DMT were safely administered for up to 90 min and the infusion rates were reported to be determined via a previous pilot study with six subjects. However, this report lacked information on how strong and sustained these effects were over time. Another approach was proposed, aiming to generate stable subjective effe...
