  • The Ladder of Cognition: Abstract Operation, Molecular Biology, Sytems Science

    There emerges the broad outline of organization in the design of unified systems science. The outcomes have promises for pathology and molecular medicine, cell biology and synthetic biology, psychology and psychiatry, artificial intelligence and bio-robotics.

  • The Healing Potential of Anomalous Perceptual Experiences

    In this short paper, I want to outline the nature of anomalous perceptions, challenge some assumptions about what we mean by reality and briefly illustrate how we may work with APs, as I shall call them.

  • Systems-bound and Systems-independent Consciousness

    Since consciousness is described to be both inside and outside systems, a model of the inter-phase required for communication between systems-bound consciousness and systems-independent consciousness has been created identifying its constituents, their operations and interactive processes.

  • Systems Psyche: Its Structure, Operation and Possible Molecular Links

    Traditionally, the psyche has been considered to have a monolithic structure composed of mind or consciousness. From a robust common sense experience and from the experience of those engaged in inward Olympics with mind this paper theoretically dissects the constituent members of the psyche and their autonomous operations and interaction. From the insight of its…

  • Some thoughts about the future of scientific observation

    But there is another realm of human experience. In addition to experience of an “outside world” there is experience of an “interior world”. This interior experience consists of phenomena such as thoughts, emotions, memories, dreams and perceptions.

  • Neural Fabrics of the Mind

    What we see as mental disorders, have deep roots in cell signaling and in failure of handling of information by operations of mind, self and ‘life’. The purpose of this review is to take lead from the renaissance in emerging knowledge in glia-neuron relationship for developing the molecular foundation of a systems neuroscience, which is…

  • Near-Death Experiences, The Mind-Body Debate, and the Nature of Reality

    The truth is that the more we come to understand the physical workings of the brain, the more we realize it does not create consciousness at all. We are conscious in spite of our brain!

  • Is the Brain a ‘Wet Computer’: Are Humans ‘Lumbering Robots’?

    This is the foremost view about the mind amongst mainstream scientists – never mind (excuse the pun) that science (by its own admission) has to date barely understood the subtleties of human consciousness.

  • Intelligence in Perspectives of the Systems Psyche: Natural, Human and Artificial

    Lessons for devising open-ended AI device could also be learnt from how the message in neural signals could reach the domain of consciousness by climbing up, and how the ‘will’ of consciousness is translated as neural signal by climbing down the ladder of cognition within the systems psyche.

  • Information Holograph – The Structure, the Source and its Operation

    Does the Whole communicate with trillions and trillions of miniature wholes? If so, it is how and why? These questions have given birth to this conceptual paper where First person‘s experiential realm has been expressed in Third Person‘s perspectives.

  • Global Unity through a World State and a World Constitution

    My two books, which came out at the end of June 2018, foresee a world in which all members of humankind will have their lot improved. Before the mystic Light all human beings are spiritually equal, and I hold up the possibility of a world not too far ahead in which all can dwell at…

  • Experiment and Experience: Complementary Approaches to Truth

    Then what is the purpose of apprehending truth? It is to accumulate information, gain knowledge, acquire wisdom or a combination of all three? I would contend that we are all seeking insight and understanding, which is surely one reason why we attend conferences like this one!
