В своей книге автор рассказывает об инструментальной транскоммуникации (ИТК) — области исследований, которая предполагает контакт через технические приборы с уровнями существования, недоступными для восприятия пятью органами чувств. Проще говоря, с иным разумом, находящимся за гранью видимого. Из этой книги вы узнаете:. • что такое ИТК, каковы ее этапы развития и методы;. • какие правила техники безопасности необходимо соблюдать при ИТК;. • какие отечественные разработки в области ИТК существуют;. • что представляют собой результаты транскоммуникации на реальных примерах.

In "Icarus; or, The Future of Science," Bertrand Russell explores the potential consequences of scientific advancement, drawing parallels between the myth of Icarus and the development of technology. He argues that while science can lead to progress, it also poses risks, particularly regarding power and societal structures. Russell suggests that scientific advancements, especially in the physical sciences, can increase power, lead to industrialism and war, and necessitate large-scale organization, which could potentially be used for oppressive purposes.

Fun, funny, blasphemous, easy to understand but hard to refute: GOD DOES NOT EXIST BUT, IF HE DOES, HE’S NOT GOOD, AND ANYWAY, A GOOD GOD WOULD NOT WRITE YOUR BIBLE OR ENDORSE YOUR RELIGION is a comprehensive look at all the ways in which it is possible to deny the existence of God, and what it means for someone to say that they're an atheist.

Drawing intriguing parallels between the present era of quantum physics and past episodes of scientific confusion, Beyond the Quantum tells the story of how pilot-wave theory was discovered and abandoned, revived and reconstructed, and how today it can pave the way to a new and radical physics beyond the quantum.

Crafted by satirical philosopher and literary trickster George Kevers, The Uncertainty Principle is a thought experiment dressed in academic robes and running shoes. It spirals through epistemology, solipsism, metaphysics, and the mess of modern meaning—equal parts intellectual farce and spiritual séance.

Tras el éxito de Y el cerebro creó al hombre, Destino incorpora dos clásicos de Antonio Damasio. El error de Descartes lo supo ver, hace ya varios siglos, Spinoza. El filósofo holandés, al que Damasio califica de "protobiólogo", teorizó ya en el siglo XVII sobre la conexión entre cuerpo y mente, pavimentando así el camino para la moderna neurofisiología. A través de una asombrosa cantidad de ejemplos reales, Damasio argumenta a favor de esa misma teoría.

In the year 1600, a monk is burned at the stake for claiming to have built a device that will allow him to know all things. 350 years later, having witnessed 'Trinity' — the first test of the atomic bomb — America's leading scientist outlines a memory machine that will help end war on earth. 25 years in the making, an ex-soldier finally unveils this 'machine for augmenting human intellect', dazzling as he stands 'Zeus-like, dealing lightning with both hands'.

¿Es posible que, por separado, la ciencia y la espiritualidad no puedan ofrecernos las claves para comprender el mundo? ¿Podemos plantearnos una perspectiva que integre ambos saberes? A la hora de explicar hechos como la conciencia humana, la conexión entre el cuerpo y la mente, el altruismo y los fenómenos anómalos, el modelo científico convencional presenta limitaciones. Para superarlas, Steve Taylor propone un nuevo camino de investigación y conocimiento: el panespiritismo. Según éste, la esencia fundamental de la realidad son el espíritu o la conciencia, no la materia.

Filosofía: el término suena fascinante, hermoso, de algún modo romántico y armonioso y, al mismo tiempo, como un gran esfuerzo intelectual. Sin embargo, en realidad la filosofía no es ni especialmente romántica ni especialmente agotadora. Es cierto que hay que utilizar el cerebro, y quizá algunas cosas excedan el sentido común normal, pero básicamente la filosofía sólo significa interesarse por las personas y el mundo.

Africa, a continent teeming with diversity, culture, and history, has long been a destination for explorers seeking knowledge and enlightenment. While often portrayed through the lens of its natural wonders and political struggles, Africa has also been a crucible for intellectual exploration.

You may think that a simple concept like Truth should be easy to describe and easy to understand. But like many simple concepts, it becomes so much more complicated the further you go. Author Drew Weatherhead endeavors to display the complexity of the objective Truth that we're forced to navigate from our subjective viewpoints through a variety of meta constructs. These Layers of Truth that make up the whole of our reality can help us recognize how we perceive the parts of it in which we exist.

In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately.

In your life, your Personal Monad is the singularity in your own consciousness, the point of view from which you experience the world. You are conscious because the universe is conscious, and the commonplace experience of being a single point of awareness in your own mind—of being whole in your own little world—is a reflection of the Greater Monad in you. The focus in this book is on your relationship to the Greater Monad. Whatever the ultimate truth of the universe, that is not going to change.
