Romance to Exemplary Wedding. Conscious Humanity loves Humanized AI – A.K. Mukhopadhyay
Artificial device of intelligence, in spite of being an example of the wedding of a good science with good technology is in controversy because its modus operandi of industrialization and growth is not in consonance with a strong emerging Worldview that encompasses Science, Humanity and Spirit (consciousness). This paper shows technological directions how their wedding could be made not merely adorable but exemplary. Making an objective psychology, exploration of other information states beside signal, investigating the possibilities of harnessing dark energy, hybridization with biological materials and organelles, and use of emerging neutrino technology are five approaches discussed in the paper. The paper concludes with a long journey ahead.
Directional Scopaesthesia and Its Implications for Theories of Vision – Rupert Sheldrake
Here, we examine the natural history of the phenomenon based on a collection of 960 case histories collected over 25 years involving both humans and non-human animals. This collection includes more than 80 interviews with surveillance officers, detectives, martial arts teachers, celebrity photographers, wildlife photographers, and hunters who have extensive experience of watching people or non-human animals. In 466 (49%) of the cases, directional effects were explicit, in that the person or animal looked at responded by turning and looking directly back at the looker rather than searching at random for the source of attention. In 186 (19%) of the cases directional effects were implicit. In most of the other cases, directional effects were not mentioned, usually because they were general statements lacking detail. In online surveys, including a survey of a group of skeptics, the great majority of respondents said they had experienced directional scopaesthesia. We conclude that directionality is a normal feature of scopaesthesia in real-life situations and suggest that this finding supports the idea that minds are extended beyond brains and that this extension involves some kind of visual extramission.
The Mystery of Memory: No “Life”, No Memory – A.K. Mukhopadhyay
The issue of memory is mysterious in terms of its acquisition, storage, recall and retrieval. Memory is inextricably intertwined with the phenomenon of subtlety of “life”. So, is the process of learning. This paper builds up a testable theory proposing where there is no life, there is no memory. In this sense, the memory in a lifeless Artificial Device (AI) is a misnomer. So is the term, “Machine Learning”. The mystery calls for investigations on what is “life”, and its link with the memory.
Tao Science: The Science, Wisdom, and Practice of Creation and Grand Unification – Sha & Xiu
Tao is the Source of everyone and everything. Tao Science is the science of the Source and creation. It is science that tells us what everyone and everything are made of, how everyone and everything are created, how everyone and everything interact, and much more. Step into the universe of Tao Science. Tao Science is more than a theory. It is a practice. It is the way of life. You will never step back.
Six Days: Reason as a Cosmic Phenomenon – Alexei Tsvelik
The book gives a popular description of the cosmogenesis as viewed by the modern science, but with a teleological twist putting homo sapiens into a cosmic perspective. The appearance of human species is considered as a final step in a long succession of events from the Big Bang to present times. Starting from a structureless state of the newborn Universe the cosmogenesis then goes through the succession of aeons (“days”) characterized by increased complexity of the emergent structures culminating in the appearance of the most complex physical objects presently known—human brains. Each “day” prepares a ground for the next breakthrough in complexity. It is demonstrated that appearance of ever more complex structures cannot be taken for granted, but is highly conditional on a very special structure of the laws of physics.
The Full Extent – An Inquiry into Reality and Destiny – Richard Botelho
"The Full Extent by Richard Botelho is academically impeccable in its presentation, organization, summarization, and attributions to historical predecessors….a groundbreaking and profoundly intelligent work."
Modelling the world – Chris Nunn
Of course it’s tempting to suppose that conscious models must be imaginary in some sense, which is true enough in a way. But then one has to remember that they are pictured as woven from threads of durationality that endow the world with manifest existence; so maybe it’s the world that’s more truly ‘imaginary’! Whatever the truth of all this, one thing remains certain – that there’s a huge amount of interest and enjoyment to be gained from investigating it.
Let’s be Real – David Harrison
The full release of a person from ego involves a great amount of effort. It occurs when the person reaches a stage where their 'higher self' can take over. The ego is not lost but more freedom is acquired to detach from it. That entrance by the 'higher self' is necessary to achieve a final release and is unpredictable; sometimes referred to as 'Grace'. A person may feel that they are ready to advance to that stage but they may still hold latent tendencies that need to be resolved. The struggle then continues...
Psychosynthesis and the Alexander Technique – Marilyn Monk
Our goal then is to drop goals beyond our reach and to live fully in the moment, fully accepting and loving our unique selves. We must let go of the wrong-doing of striving to superimpose some projection we have of who we might be. Paradoxically, coming back to who we really are opens a greater potential for who we might be; but this is not a promise. We are simply in with a chance to receive a gift which may shine through when we get out of the way. This will not be something we have tried to achieve, but a gift that was ours from the beginning.
