Download or read book A Cosmology for Psychonauts written by Shelli Joye and published by Viola Institute. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those rare psychonauts who have begun explore the vast dimensions of consciousness beyond the normal eveyday waking mind, either with or without entheogens, here are presented a wide range of practical and effective techniques of prayer and meditation that have been developed by numerous cultural traditions over the millenia. Perhaps the most important validation of any tool for psychonautic exploration is that of direct experience. Here I present a cosmology of consciousness that is congruent with the knowledge of modern physics and biology, based upon the work of the neurosurgeon Karl Pribram, and the physicist David Bohm. Here you will find a map for explorers of the psyche, soul, and their Self within the Transcendent. The author's own specific experiences, practices, and suggestions regarding all facets of psychonautics are also described, and are supported by over fifty years exploring the many techniques described here and in Shelli Joye's earlier books.

Download or read book Physics For Psychonauts written by Boaz Yemini and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you consider yourself an explorer of Consciousness, then you are a Psychonaut, an explorer of yourself, of your own Awareness. If this is so - this book is just for you. This accessible-to-all read, is an attempt to illuminate some of the most pressing issues in both the discipline of Physics and the practice of Psychedelics. On the face of it, it doesn't seem that these are interconnected, nor that psychonauts should have their own physics book. But, as it has become known, Quantum Mechanics, the model of the Elementary Particles of Forces and Matter, suggests that Observers play an essential role in scientists' labs. Well, at least some think that; while others, see it completely the other way around. This is why the holistic and critical analysis offered here, is what a navigator of the Mind should expect from a modern intro to physics. Besides an all-inclusive tour through the landscape of Spacetime, and the Energy and Mass that occupy and flow in our cosmic-ocean; some deeper-dives are taken into the current and historical blunders of physicists. It is shown how these errors are still impacting the Philosophy of Physics, and of Science as a whole, and why the road is paved for a new thinker to shock the world, just as Albert Einstein once did. In this book, Boaz Yemini provides clarifications to some of the most fundamental subjects of the field, and several loaded terms with dual-meanings, that are found throughout textbooks of Cosmology, Quanta and Metaphysics. Besides the issues of energy and consciousness, which are fundamental yet illusive and thus receive much attention here, terms such as Information and Data, and notions like Gravity and Time (that complicate our physicists more than one would assume), will also be of the main focus. Enjoy!

Download or read book Cosmic Citizens and Moonshot Thinking written by Rohan Roberts and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning educator, innovation expert, and Global Teacher Prize finalist, Rohan Roberts, comes a provocative look at why our current education system is not fit for purpose and why we need to overhaul it. Cosmic Citizens and Moonshot Thinking: Education in an Age of Exponential Technologies takes a fresh approach to what we need to do differently to prepare our children for a world of exponential technologies, disruptive innovations, and ubiquitous A.I. In this groundbreaking book, Roberts outlines the purpose of education in a world of increased outsourcing and automation and explains how we can future-proof our youth to survive and thrive in a world of accelerating change. Through interactions with corporate leaders, interviews with principals, meetings with parents, and surveys of students, this book considers how the best and brightest students would overhaul their education system. The book highlights the role of neuroscience in education and explores several fascinating concepts such as radical openness, abundance mindsets, the gig economy, the technological singularity, intelligent optimism, the age of imagination, humanics, transhumanism, and the importance of Enlightenment values as we advance into the 21st Century. Underpinning this book is a constant focus on the importance of bringing a sense of awe into education and fostering a sense of cosmic wonder when contemplating human purpose and human existence. Written in a style that is discursive, contemplative, and with a sense of urgency, this book will appeal to students, parents, teachers, school principals, and to anyone who recognises that the only real and long-lasting way to create a better society is to first fix our education system.

Download or read book Psychonauts written by Mike Jay and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and original history of the scientists and writers, artists and philosophers who took drugs to explore the hidden regions of the mind Until the twentieth century, scientists investigating the effects of drugs on the mind did so by experimenting on themselves. Vivid descriptions of drug experiences sparked insights across the mind sciences, pharmacology, medicine, and philosophy. Accounts in journals and literary fiction inspired a fascinated public to make their own experiments--in scientific demonstrations, on exotic travels, at literary salons, and in occult rituals. But after 1900 drugs were increasingly viewed as a social problem, and the long tradition of self-experimentation began to disappear. From Sigmund Freud's experiments with cocaine to William James's epiphany on nitrous oxide, Mike Jay brilliantly recovers a lost intellectual tradition of drug-taking that fed the birth of psychology, the discovery of the unconscious, and the emergence of modernism. Today, as we embrace novel cognitive enhancers and psychedelics, the experiments of the original psychonauts reveal the deep influence of mind-altering drugs on Western science, philosophy, and culture.

Download or read book Modern Cosmological Observations and Problems written by Gregory Bothun and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-03-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years an enormous amount of cosmological data has come from well known projects such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE). This book explains and makes sense of this vast array of new observational data in terms of its impact on current cosmological models. With new theories and a plethora of data feeding cosmology in the 1990s, Gregory Bothun sets about the task of re- assessing our cosmological models. He outlines exactly what the latest observations are, and how they should be seen as either consistent or in conflict with current cosmogenic scenarios. In this search for a reconciliation of current data with competing theory, he explains how Einstein's idea of a cosmological constant has now become a viable hypothesis. This authoritative text should be valuable to all those studying cosmological observations at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. Bothun draws a path through cosmology by defining a trajectory that is based on the data. This should also provide a framework for professional cosmologists and related readers in physics as it presents a solid observational foundation which either supports or conflicts with present theory. The book is illustrated including many CCD images of galaxies. Given the rapidly changing nature of the field, this book is supported by a World Wide Web site of supplementary material that is designed to readily update the material in the book.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Shamanism written by Graham Harvey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable array of people have been called shamans, while the phenomena identified as shamanism continues to proliferate. This second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Shamanism contains with examples from antiquity up to today, and from Siberia (where the term “shaman” originated) to Amazonia, South Africa, Chicago and many other places. Many claims about shamans and shamanism are contentious and all are worthy of discussion. In the most widespread understandings, terms seem to refer particularly to people who alter states of consciousness or enter trances in order to seek knowledge and help from powerful other-than-human persons, perhaps “spirits”. But this says only a little about the artists, community leaders, spiritual healers or hucksters, travelers in alternative realities and so on to which the label “shaman” has been applied. This second edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and extensive bibliography. The dictionary contains over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on individuals, groups, practices and cultures that have been called “shamanic”. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Shamanism.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This enthralling page turner breaks all the molds, and fearlessly exposes the deepest darkest intrigue in history...The Luciferian Agenda for a New World Order. In it, we learn of the Luciferian roots of Modern Science, as the reader is transported back in time to the insidious origins of modern-day Scientism, the current religion of most scientists today.

Finally, the serpentine path leads up into modern Freemasonic Luciferian, NASA, and then to The Jesuit Controlled Alien Deception about to take hold of the world." --Christian Chesterfield Ph.D.

Download or read book The God Game written by Mike Hockney and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the "answer to everything"? Pythagoras provided a glimpse of the answer 2,500 years ago when he declared, "All things are numbers". Mathematics is literally everything. Unlike science, mathematics offers certainty and absolute knowledge. Mathematics unifies science, religion and metaphysics and is the true Grand Unified Theory of Everything. No experiment can ever contradict a mathematical truth. Mathematics is the ONLY answer to everything. Mathematics is the ONLY subject inherently about eternal, Platonic truth. The God Series, starting with The God Game, reveals the astonishing power of ontological mathematics to account for everything. Isn't it time to convert to to the world's only rational religion - Illuminism, the Pythagorean religion of mathematics that infallibly explains all things and guarantees everyone a soul that's not only eternal and indestructible but also has the capacity to make each of us a true God? Isn't it time to become Illuminated? The God Series is what God ought to have delivered to humanity rather than the Bible. Knowledge rather than faith. Truth rather than fantasy.

Download or read book Questions of Modern Cosmology written by Mauro D'Onofrio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we living in the "golden age" of cosmology? Are we close to understanding the nature of the unknown ingredients of the currently most accepted cosmological model and the physics of the early Universe? Or are we instead approaching a paradigm shift? What is dark matter and does it exist? How is it distributed around galaxies and clusters? Is the scientific community open to alternative ideas that may prompt a new scientific revolution - as the Copernican revolution did in Galileo's time? Do other types of supernovae exist that can be of interest for cosmology? Why have quasars never been effectively used as standard candles? Can you tell us about the scientific adventure of COBE? How does the extraction of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy depend on the subtraction of the various astrophysical foregrounds? These, among many others, are the astrophysical, philosophical and sociological questions surrounding modern cosmology and the scientific community that Mauro D'Onofrio and Carlo Burigana pose to some of the most prominent cosmologists of our time. Triggered by these questions and in the spirit of Galileo's book "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" the roughly 40 interview partners reply in the form of essays, with a critical frankness not normally found in reviews, monographs or textbooks.

Download or read book Tantric Psychophysics written by Shelli Renée Joye and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Explores how esoteric teachings from India and Tibet offer specific methods for tuning and directing consciousness to reach higher stages of awareness • Presents a wide-ranging collection of practical techniques, as well as numerous figures and diagrams, to facilitate navigation of altered states of consciousness and heightened mystical states • Develops an integrated structural map of higher consciousness by viewing Tibetan and Indian Tantra through the work of Steiner, Gurdjieff, Teilhard de Chardin, Aurobindo Ghose, and quantum physicists Planck and Bohm Throughout the millennia shamans, saints, and yogis have discovered how the brain-mind can be reprogrammed to become a powerful instrument facilitating access to higher states of consciousness. In particular, the written Tantric texts of India and Tibet describe, in extraordinarily precise detail, interior transformations of conscious energy along with numerous techniques for stimulating, modulating, and transforming consciousness to reach increasingly higher states and stages of awareness. In this in-depth examination of esoteric Tantric practices, Shelli Renée Joye, Ph.D., presents a wide-ranging collection of psychophysical techniques integrating Tibetan Vajrayana and Patañjali’s yoga to induce altered states of consciousness for the exploration of heightened mystical states. Sharing numerous figures and diagrams, she shows how these theories and techniques are not only fully supported by modern biophysics, brain science, and quantum physics but are also in line with the work of Rudolf Steiner, G. I. Gurdjie , Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Aurobindo Ghose, Max Planck, and David Bohm. e author also shares insights from her own personal practices for consciousness exploration, which include prayer, mantra, emptying the mind, psychedelics, yoga, and visualization of interior physiology. Offering a structural map of the dynamics of consciousness, Joye reveals that one can develop new ways of tuning and directing consciousness to reach extraordinary modes of being and intense levels of lucid awareness, the requisites for the direct exploration of supersensible dimensions and sailing in the ocean of consciousness.

Book excerpt: Set partly in the present and partly in the future, Eros Triumphant centers on Andora Panvion, a wealthy predator of plutocrats preventing humanity from organizing an orderly exodus from our solar system. The bloated Sun evaporated Earth’s oceans. A global desert stretches between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer while the poles bear the only seas and vegetation. Humans live in subterranean cities across the solar system and several alien star systems. Around the galaxy’s central black hole, a ring 3.14 light-years in diameter bears oceans, landmasses, cities, and form-shifting beings fond of existentialism. Eros finally kills Thanatos.

Download or read book Liber Null Psychonaut written by Peter J. Carroll and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley."—Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Prometheus Rising and other works Peter Carroll’s classic work has been profound influence on the Western magical world and on the practice of chaos magick in particular. In Liber Null and Psychonaut, Carroll presents an approach to the practice of magic that draws on the foundations of shamanism and animism, as well as that found in the Greek magical papyri, the occult works of Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley, and the esoteric meditative practices of classical India and China. Also very much at work in the text are 20th century scientific ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory. The result is a profoundly original work of magical studies that also includes a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists with instructions that lead the reader through new concepts and practices to achieve Carroll’s definition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infinity. This Weiser Classics edition is a thoroughly revised republication of Liber Null and Psychonaut, first published by Weiser in 1987, and includes a new foreword by Ronald Hutton, a leading authority on modern witchcraft and paganism.
