Stage Of Sleep 50 Percent
854 words
This is another chapter in the book titled The
Psychology of Consciousness. This chapter examines
the variations in consciousness. Ornstein proposes
that an individuals consciousness goes through
numerous changes each day. There are daily changes
in biological rhythms, borderline states between
sleep and dreams, sleep and wakefulness, and
daydreams. Each day we each experience a basic
biologic rhythm referred to as circadian. Many
factors influence this rhythm: light-dark cycle,
sun position, wo...

Mental Events Person Perspective
868 words
The relation of consciousness to the material
world is puzzle, which has its origin in dualism,
a philosophy of mind which posits their
fundamental separation. Dualism, in turn, has its
roots in folk wisdom. The belief that humans are
more than bodies and that there is something in
human nature that survives bodily death has its
origins in prehistory; it becomes explicit in the
mythology of Ancient Egypt and Assyria and was
formulated into a philosophical position in the
Platonic thought of Anci...

Earl Of Gloucester King Lear
1,463 words
The images of sight given, taken, or abused
resonate deeply in King Lear from Kent's first
imperative, "See better, Lear" (I. i. 158), to the
painful images of a stumbling, eyeless Gloucester.
Such imagery, drawn both dramatically and
verbally, illustrates well the theme of
consciousness. Consciousness in this play refers
to seeing the world without through the lens of
the world within. The success of King Lear as a
satisfying tragedy relies on this issue of
consciousness. This theme is most pot...

... power and size. The worker becomes an ever

Labour produces not only commodities: it produces
itself and the worker as a commodity - and this at
the same rate at which it produces commodities in
general (Marx, 1997: 60 - 62). This process has
the direct effect of alienating the labourer from
the object in the capacity of the product of his
labour: The worker puts his life into the object;
but now his life no longer belongs to him but to
the ob...

Consciousness Schleiermacher Absolute Dependence Religion

Friedrich Schleiermacher, a Protestant theologian,
philosopher, and educator, who wrote On Religion:
Speeches to its Cultured Despisers (1799),
ventured into Christian dogmatics in a
non-conventional yet avant-garde manner. His new
approach to critically analyzing religion signaled
the beginning of the era of Protestant Liberal
Theology whilst simultaneously placing his book
among the classic substantive works that speaks to
religion and Christian faith (Schleiermacher vii).

Meditation Techniques to the Use of Psychedelic
Sacraments By Sri Brahmarishi Naked The fact that
psychedelic drugs induce a greater sensitivity to
subtle spiritual and psychic energies, and speed
up the influx of impressions from deeper levels of
consciousness, raises the immediate question of
how these energies can be properly understood and
handled. Obviously, if these energies are not
guided, they can do more harm than good. The

spiritual of all the chakras. When this chakra is
fully developed, union with God-consciousness is
possible, and Illumination takes place. By
focusing the attention in any one of the chakras,
the lower overtones of the concentration of
consciousness in that location activates that
chakra and increases the energy flow in it, making

The Effects Of Various States Consciousness On Behavior
1,123 words
Waking consciousness is the mental state that
includes moving and thinking, along with anything
else done while we are awake and alert. Behavior
during this period is as normal as it can be.
Although behavior can differ from person to
person, although most people go through the
relatively same behavioral patterns. While awake,
people go through feelings of happiness,
depression, anger, and boredom, to name a few.
These feelings can cause people to do different
things and act differently than nor...

The Mind Body Problem

THE MIND-BODY PROBLEM The issue of personal
identity is focused on conditions wherein a person
at one time is the same person at another time
(Wikipedia). The analysis of personal identity
gives us a set of necessary conditions as to the
identity of the person over a period of time.
Personal identity is also sometimes referred to as
the diachronic problem of personal identity. It is
quite different with synchronic problem. This is
the problem of what constitutes personhood at a
time which is the...

This essay is dedicated to famous psychologist and
philosopher William James and his contribution in
science. I wanted to start this paper from the

me to understand better his ideas and the way of

ideas and thoughts. William James was born in New

The Jan Ifversen Jan Ifversen The Meaning of
European Civilization A Historical-Conceptual
Approach My interest in the concept of
civilization was triggered by Samuel Huntington's
now famous article The Clash of Civilizations from
1993. I have been working on different discursive
settings of European self-consciousness for some
times. The idea of Europe as an entity or even a
quality has a rather long history in Europe. In

" Before the world was made, he chose us,
chose us in Christ, to be holy and spotless, and
to live through love in his presence, determining
that we should become his adopted sons, through
Jesus Christ. " (Eph. I, 4 - 5). These
powerful words of St. Paul in his first letter to
the Ephesians, I think, best characterize the
spirit of Teilhard the Chardin, his idea of man
and mans place in the universe, and of the common
goals of humanity. Just imagine somebody?
Somebody, whose whole life...

1. A little over a decade after the collapse of
Communism, it might appear that Marxist theory has
been relegated to little more than an historical
or even archeological artefact with little
relevance to or influence over an ever encroaching
and expanding, global ising capitalism. Socialism
proper, as a state economic model and ideology
seems to have been banished to the margins of the
world scene. The disastrous results in terms of
the dictatorships and totalitarianism that have

Nietzsche Believes True Reality
1,915 words
Man initially thought that language afforded him a
better knowledge of things rather than merely a
designation of things. However, this is based on
an exact notion of things, and no exactness
exists; identity can only be conceptual, for there
is nothing in life that is identical. The
mythology of language rests in this search for the
exactness of things and the schematization of our
world. Language evolved simultaneously with
consciousness, for we felt the need to
communicate. Language fills thi...

rigorously prove or substantiate the existence of
a Soul, a psyche. Numerous explanations have been
hitherto offered: That what we, humans, call a
soul is the way that we experience the workings of
our brain (introspection experienced). This often
leads to infinite regressions. That the soul is an
epiphenomenon, the software result of a hardware
