Sound Enhancement of Transcendental Conscious States
In November 2008, I spent 7 days in coma. The devastation wrought on my neocortex should have disabled all but the most rudimentary of experiences, and yet I had a profound odyssey through ultra-real realms far beyond our physical universe.
The Reality Nervous System
We do not need to postulate a whole material universe outside of consciousness anymore. Empirical reality is merely the outside image – the external aspect – of the mental activity of a cosmic consciousness.

Emerging neuro-technologies are revolutionizing our understanding of the brain
Why Did Our Brains Stop Expanding?

Your Thoughts May Be Nothing More than “Self-Organized Criticality”
What happens in your brain when you have a thought? One scientist suggests we can know by observing how matter shifts from one state to another in the physical world.
Dinner with Dr. Juan

The Brain as Filter: On Removing the Stuffing from the Keyhole
The ideological fixation on the physical brain will
eventually yield to a transpersonal, nonlocal dimension of consciousness. When this happens within neuroscience, the Source will be recognized and we will wonder how we could have been
so blind.
Crossroads: Literature and Healing in the Classroom
Where is the intersection between literature and healing? Between narrative and
neuroscience? Between writing and life? . . . It is a little like tracing the boundary of self, like scrying a mirror for distinctions

Spatial Awareness Secrets Unlocked
Have you ever wondered how you can navigate your bedroom in pitch darkness? Researchers have found that the brain acts in a peculiar way to active this "sixth sense."
Opening the Conversation About NDE: Dr. Eben Alexander & the Question of Consciousness
There is a slow shift in our view of the nature of
consciousness. It's occurring in incremental stages, its main
