Re: If you believe in a personal soul, why?
I do not believe in a FUNDAMENTALLY distinct and separate mind that is a 'soul'. I believe Brahman = Atman. That said, I think there is a hierarchy of dissociation so that when you die you do not immediately return to the universal mind but rather return to being your Higher Self, from which this al...

Re: How to explain synchronicity?
Haven't read Ecological Approach to Visual Perception? It does look interesting, but yikes not cheap on Amazon. Published in 1979. I might try to track down a copy anyway. The Z-Library is a great resource for digital editions of books. The Gibson book is available here. https://book4you.org/s/Ecol...

Re: Analytic Idealism Subreddit (/r/analyticidealism)
I made a subreddit for discussing idealism in a modern, analytic context. Our emphasis is on how idealism is superior in terms of post-Enlightenment logical values in comparison to physicalism. In essence, we're attempting to help seize the rational high ground from materialist academia. Please che...

Re: Is there a physical basis for psychedelic experiences?
Maybe connectivity has some specific meaning in brainy science, but in math and formal language, I don't see how ability of strings to be concatenated - connectivity in that sense - according to some generative algorithm, has anything to do with entropy? Interesting thought, though... Essentially, ...

Re: Does idealism square with intelligent design?
I just gave a link to a typical NDE in another thread , and there are thousands of similar NDE accounts. And, unless we want to stay in a denialist mode together with materialists, these accounts suggest that the Consciousness at Large is nothing like being non-metacognitive or instinctive, but qui...

Re: Is there a physical basis for psychedelic experiences?
Thank you everybody for your swift replies and (if I understand DandelionSoul correctly) we can´t come to a conclusion whether idealism or materialism is valid based on the results of the study. However, there is another question that I would like to ask: If I understand Dr. Kastrup correctly, he s...
