Consciousness is more than mere awareness. It’s how we experience the world, how we turn input into experience. Once the province of philosophy, religion, or perhaps fantasy, neuroscientists have added a scientific voice to the discussion, using available medical technology to explore just what separates so-called “mind” from brain. In this audiobook, we look at what science has to say about one of humankind’s most fundamental, existential mysteries.

Yet these creatures are our cousins.

What if everything you believe about memory, identity, and reality was not only unreliable—but designed to be? We trust our thoughts to shape our choices. We trust our memories to hold our stories. And we trust reality to remain consistent. But what if those elements—thought, memory, reality—are not only malleable, but part of a system you were never meant to question? In the world of Perception Transformation, reality is no longer fixed. It bends under pressure, shifts with thought, and folds when truth is pushed too hard. At the center of this transformation is a therapy—a radical...

Are you tired of being ruled by the clock? Does time feel like a relentless tyrant, or a fleeting illusion you can't quite grasp? In a world dictated by demanding alarms, endless schedules, and ever-present digital displays, we often feel captive to a conception of time forged by societal pressures, not natural law.

Zöllner's question was addressed to a broad intellectual public community, in reply to Biester's essay entitled: "Proposal, not to engage the clergy any longer when marriages are conducted".

After weeks adrift in the cold, unforgiving void, the sight of a planet teeming with vibrant life was nothing short of a miracle. Through scratched viewports, they beheld a world painted in hues that surpassed any terrestrial paradise – amethystine trees reaching for skies of liquid gold, sapphire blossoms cascading down verdant slopes, and crystalline rivers snaking through meadows of scarlet grass.
