Research

The aim is one living theory of consciousness, built by comparing how each field describes it. Where they agree, that is a finding. Where they disagree, the disagreement is the content.

• Science. Predictive processing, global workspace, integrated information, the default-mode network, psychedelic research and the hard problem.
• Religion. Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Kabbalah, Daoist inner alchemy, Yoruba practice, Australian Aboriginal Dreaming and more.
• Spirituality. Jung, Huxley, Krishnamurti, Alan Watts, Ram Dass and modern non-dual teaching.
• Yoga. Patanjali, the Gita, hatha, tantra, kundalini and Tibetan yoga.
• Literature. Popular books on consciousness, read for what they distill well and what they flatten.

The rule throughout: hold the experience itself firmly and the metaphysics loosely.
