  3. Metaphysics of Cosmic Energy and its Goodness.Contzen Pereira - forthcoming - Journal of Metaphysics and Connected Consciousness.
    Cosmic energy is good and its goodness created all that was created; for the creator is immortally teeming with goodness. The cosmic energy is therefore the blueprint of the creator, which accommodates information of what was, what is and what will be and in its goodness creates, shapes and guides matter. The cosmic energy transformed matter to create the being that emerged to be intelligent; a being that acquired the understanding of language. Language and intelligence were essentially meant to articulate (...)

  4. Tro och Naturvetenskap - den förlorade harmonin.Rudolf Larenz - unknown
    In Christian Theology, on the one hand, and Physics, on the other, exist different views about the age of the universe, the age of the earth, and about particularities of other historical events. Obviously, this is a serious obstacle for a harmonious relationship between both. Much more serious, however, is the difference between the respective epistemological climates. The epistemological climate of Theology is ”luminous” because it relies on common sense. On the contrary, the epistemological climate of Physics is ”dark”, insofar (...)

  5. What is the Main Reason that Physics and Theology Do Not Really Match? What Can Be Done to Amend that Situation?Rudolf Larenz - unknown
    : The first main point is that Physics and Christian Theology are moving in opposite epistemological climates, when they are speaking about the same common object. Here both terms are important: opposite – which is nothing special – and epistemological climate – which is very special. Epistemological questions are considered difficult and normally bypassed. The second main point is that a possible amendment of that situation consists in trying to get a control of the cognitive losses of Physics.

  6. Why is it not so easy for a prsent-day physicist to be genuinely a Christian?Rudolf Larenz - unknown
    A short description of the relationship between Physics, Philosophy and Theology is: Physics neglects or passes by Natural Realism, which is the origin of Philosophy. In turn, Natural Realism is backed up by Judeo-Christian revelation. Therefore, Physics neglects or passes by Theology. That relationship between Physics and Theology is widely used as a background for exercising an intense pressure on Theology. The defence of Theology should begin by pointing out certain shortcomings of Physics and formulating a philosophical control of these (...)

  8. Glorifying Elohim with Dispositive and Probative Facts for Subsequent Motions:Nosce Te Ipsum.Dallas Bell - unknown
    Pythagoras made the imperative “Man know thyself; then thou shalt know the Universe and God.” One of the Egyptian Luxor Temple proverbs is "Man, know thyself, and you are going to know the gods” and another is "The body is the house of God.” In some ways all classical literature addresses this question. Shakespeare’s asked the famous question, “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” which can be said, “To be, or not to be, that is the (...)

  9. The Twenty-Five Theses for Philos Sophos: A Partial Differential Equation from Mathematical Ethics’ Operators of Zhēn Xiàng for Interpolating Computerized Behavioral Flux in Economics.Dallas F. Bell - unknown
    It is widely recognized that the common human need for purposed decision-making requires the conscious self to develop an understanding of its relationships with time and space. This basic epistemological process includes concepts that range from infinity and individual freewill to justice and societal punishment. For millennia scholars have systematically proven zhēn xiàng and disproven mauvaise foi. Negation is said to exist where axioms of 100% probability, P, space of past or future events, E, are the set of P which (...)

  10. The Manifestation of Consciousness: Beyond & Within from Fundamental to Ubiquity.Contzen Pereira & J. Shashi Kiran Reddy - unknown
    Consciousness being the very source of subjective experience is needed for our life experiences, for the working of our body, to perceive, to cognize, and to express. Agreeing to a fundamental approach for consciousness is more about embracing the true understanding of consciousness rather than avoiding it. Consciousness can, therefore, be located anywhere and everywhere, but in a form that we do not understand until it takes shape within the limits of our reality. Monism related approaches to consciousness are an (...)

    The word soul in the cell-soul pathway does not have a scientific definition but has been hypothesized to be an indefinite, non-structured, massless energy made up of electromagnetic radiations that is confined in the cytoskeletal network of a living cell. It is a coherent, imperceptible, uncontainable and recyclable support pathway, which uses energy to promulgate consciousness in the cell supporting its functions. The pathway currently provides a mechanistic explanation of the flow of consciousness within the body, but the intent of (...)

  12. An Essay on ‘Fracto-Resonant’ Nature of Life.Contzen Pereira & J. Shashi Kiran Reddy - unknown
    Fractals are built from patterns generated from immense complexity within the resonant frequencies that connect and tune the universe. Play of such frequencies would result in the exchange of energy and coupling of informational systems at various levels and scales. The present essay serves as a small ride into life’s association with such phenomenon. At a fundamental level communication happens via process called ‘resonance’, and this in turn manifests at a physical level as self-replicating and self-resonating patterns called ‘fractals.’ This (...)

    Hydranencephaly is a developmental malady, where the cerebral hemispheres of the brain are reduced partly or entirely too membranous sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Infants with this malady are presumed to have reduced life expectancy with a survival of weeks to few years and which solely depends on care and fostering of these individuals. During their life span these individuals demonstrate behaviours that are termed “vegetative” by neuroscientists but can be comparable to the state of being “aware” or “conscious”. Based (...)

    Origin of life on earth transpired once and from then on, it emerges as an endless eternal process. Matter and energy are constants of the cosmos and the hypothesis is that the origin of life is a moment when these constants intertwined or interacted. Energy from the cosmos interacted with inorganic matter to support matter with retention of this riveted energy, as energy to be circulated within the primitive channelized structures to conserve energy by the materialization of the proton homeostasis (...)

    The nature of the soul is attribute-less and boundless. To experience its true potential, the dimensionless soul manifests itself in the physical dimension as a body. Materialism originates with the creation of the body as it grows around the soul and in the process of forming, enchants the soul with its materialistic conducts. The soul has the ability to materialize and dematerialize into bodily forms as per will, but such an entropic amendment may change the true essence of bodily life. (...)

  16. On Science & the Perception of Reality.Contzen Pereira & J. Shashi Kiran Reddy - unknown
    The present mainstream science tackles the problem of Consciousness by embracing the objective or third person perspective; hence, it fails in understanding many fundamental aspects of life. Further, knowledge gained from science is not absolute in the sense that it is based on a human-centric view. This brings us to the question of how to access absolute reality? In this article, we consider the subjective aspect associated with the objective phenomena and explore a possible new science of subjective experience.

  17. Cosmic Origami: Finger Prints of Life.Contzen Pereira & J. Shashi Kiran Reddy - unknown
    Just as religion is impassable to its own dogmatic philosophies and ideas, present day science also acts in the same manner. Embracing its reductionist approach, it loses its sight to the most beautiful and insightful possibilities associated with the cosmos and its fundamental constituents around us. The present paper is a holistic ride into few of life’s beautiful constructs that occur as a playful act of the cosmos, and in part hypothesize that the dynamic biological structures or forms could be (...)

    “God is the light of the world and may his light shine before all” (Mathew 5: 14-16). The creator is the symmetric light which gave rise to asymmetric matter along with abundant cosmic energy that currently resides in the matrix of the universe; for the symmetry was broken with the big bang to create the universe. In the physical world, matter gave rise to biological structures to possess the electromagnetic soul and its processes; a localized form created of the cosmic (...)

    In this paper, we argue on the ability of science to capture the true subjective experience of life, blinded within the limits of its reductionist approaches. With this approach, even though science can explain well the physics behind the objective phenomenon, it fails fundamentally in understanding the various aspects associated with the biological entities. In this sense, we are skeptical to the present approach of science and calls out for a more fundamental theory of life that considers not only the (...)

  20. On Science & Phenomenology in Consciousness Studies.Contzen Pereira - unknown
    Everything around seems phenomenal and appears driven by a conscious experience. Everything is an experience and for the experiencer appears eternally phenomenal and subjective. The conscious ‘How’ can be easily explained by the many reductive based advances in science and other disciplines, but the conscious ‘Why’ persists as phenomenal. The ‘How’ however can be reduced only to a precise limit i.e. the limits of scientific exploration, beyond which it persists to be phenomenal. This paper is an inter-disciplinary understanding of how (...)

  22. Belief as the driver to experience and imagine the cosmic energy but with limitations.Contzen Pereira - 2016 - Journal ofMetaphysics and Connected Consciousness 2.
    Believing is what makes the believer believe what the believer wants to believe and this belief lures the energy to flow from the external to the internal; from the invisible to the visible; what we consider as a phenomenon or fulfilment of dreams in our lifetime. Cosmic energy naively progresses to create and recreate; to form and reform; to rise and give rise to and to fill and fulfil the desires of a being. Belief drives the experience of the experiencer; (...)

Creation and creativity are the end aspects of imagination and unfold the hidden mysteries of the cosmos. This essay is a trip across the cosmic energy (...)

  24. Understanding memories of a near-death experience from the perspective of quantum entanglement and in the presence of the supernatural.Contzen Pereira & Janice Harter - 2016 - Journal of Metaphysics and Connected Consciousness 2.
    Near-death experiences are a big challenge to the fields of science and philosophy; termed as hallucinatory by neurologists and “stuff of which fantasies are made off” by sceptics, there are some unique near-death experiences which defy these claims. Memories generated during these experiences are of specific interest as they are created without a body and can be recalled post the experience. Call it the mind, soul, psyche or consciousness, if deliberated as a form of quantum generated energy, a strong correlation (...)

    The soul is agile and transparent; it does not make the body weighty. It streams limitless within the patterns of regimented matter, gratifies the body until it can fill it no more, but remains as a swirling ball of energy with it. We do not see it, but can imagine it; like the wind; an energy, we do not see but can feel and there is no kerb to imagine its likeness. The soul so translucent lies beneath the scabbard of (...)

The word ‘soul’ does not have a scientific definition but through this paper is hypothesized to be an indefinite, non-structured, massless energy made up of electromagnetic radiations that is confined in the cytoskeletal network of the biological cell. Electromagnetic radiations continually interact with the biological cell and propagate within the cell; by a pathway known as ‘Cell-Soul (...)

The human brain has been extensively studied to understand the phenomena of human thought and behavior in the context of consciousness.

    Prayer is not a psychoactive chant that may trigger a meditative mood or transfigure us into a mystic. It is a simple set of words that are metaphorically arranged which induces a state of being aware and conscious beyond the mundane. It makes an amendment between us and God and makes us to be aware of God, Its creation and the purpose of our existence. The Lords’ Prayer indeed conditions us to know the reality beyond the personality of the mind.

Intelligence is task driven, and comes at a later stage in development than consciousness. Consciousness and intelligence are sometimes interdependent on each other, but have always been known as separate entities; an attempt to associate them, results in a lot of debate. This paper hypothesises the growth of consciousness to be (...)
