   Consciousness and world as structured resonance

   article

   Essentia FoundationDavid E. Lloyd, MAAugust 28, 2026

   David Lloyd returns with another captivating analysis of the isomorphisms—the correspondences of form—between the patterns and regularities of inner experience and those of the physical world. His writing is informed by both deep introspection and hardcore physical science. In this essay, he discusses isomorphisms that allow teleology—a certain sense of purpose and direction—to exist in nature in a spontaneous, science-treatable manner, without need for deliberation from an anthropomorphic divinity.

   THE NATURE OF THE SOUL (Volume 1) An Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Inquiry into Consciousness, Selfhood, Mind, Matter, and Personal Survival

   paper

   Panpsychism and analytic idealismMajid Karimi BaghmalekiOctober 13, 2026

   GENERAL PREFACE THE NATURE OF THE SOUL An Interdisciplinary Philosophical Inquiry into Consciousness, Personhood, Identity, Agency, Meaning, and the Architecture of Becoming The question of the soul is among the oldest and most persistent questions in human intellectual history. Long before consciousness became an object of neuroscience, before psychology emerged as an independent discipline, before computation provided a language for information and artificial intelligence, human beings asked what makes a living person more than a collection of physical parts. What is the principle by which a

   Human Consciousness as a Curiosity-Driven Recurrent Process: A Developmental Model of Loop Autonomy and Cross-Domain Architecture

   paper

   Integrated information and global workspaceJason Gabriel DavisOctober 14, 2026

   This paper proposes a developmental model of human consciousness grounded in recurrent processing theory, sociocultural psychology, and the emerging literature on cross-domain cognition. We argue that consciousness is not a fixed state orproperty but a dynamic, curiosity-driven recurrent process that bootstraps through social interaction, becomes self-sustaining once the recursive loop is established, and expands into qualitatively distinct architectures through sustained cross-domain in-tegration. Complex emotion is not foundational to this process but downstream—an appraisal generated within

   EL-RAKHAWI TOPOLOGICAL-PHENOMENAL CONSCIOUSNESS RESONANCE SYSTEM (TPCRS) An Objective, Mathematically Closed Framework for Mapping and Quantifying Subjective Experience via Causal Neural Geometry

   paper

   Hard problem and qualiamohamed kamal arafa el-rakhawiOctober 16, 2026

   The El-Rakhawi Topological-Phenomenal Consciousness Resonance System (TPCRS) addresses the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" by providing the first mathematically closed framework for objectively quantifying subjective experience. Current neuroscience relies on unreliable behavioral assessments or statistical correlations that cannot distinguish conscious awareness from unconscious processing. TPCRS bridges this gap through a novel neuro-computational architecture integrating high-density quantum-neuroimaging (OPM-MEG for femtotesla magnetic mapping and fNIRS for hemodynamic tracking) with the E

   Awakening as a Trait-Level Transformation of Consciousness

   paper

   arXiv consciousnessRiku IhalainenOctober 14, 2026

   Awakening is reported across contemplative traditions yet remains poorly defined in science, where it is often conflated with transient states induced by meditation or psychedelics, obscuring its significance for theories of consciousness and cognitive architecture. We treat awakening as a functional construct capturing convergence across Hindu and Buddhist sources, phenomenological and psychometric findings, and neuroimaging evidence. Synthesizing these literatures, we find convergent evidence for reorganization across dimensions including self-related processing, affective reactivity, and te

   The levels of consciousness psychiatry denies

   article

   Essentia FoundationBrian Stafford, MDAugust 21, 2026

   Brian Stafford, MD, is a psychiatrist, board member and training director at the Animas Valley Institute, the organization founded by depth psychologist Bill Plotkin PhD and known for its work on nature-based human development. In this conversation with Hans Busstra, Stafford reflects on his remarkable transition from a successful academic career in psychiatry to guiding wilderness-based practices aimed at what he calls an “eco-awakening”: a shift from an ego-centric to an eco-centric mode of consciousness. Drawing on the work of Plotkin, Carl Jung, and his own clinical and personal experience

   The whole in every alter: Why integrating the shadow quietens the world

   article

   Essentia FoundationKarina Ferreira Firme, MASeptember 4, 2026

   In this short and accessible essay, Karina Firme uses an idealist metaphysics to explain why integrating rejected aspects of our own personalities discharges the emotional load we normally associate with other people, thereby quietening the world. Her ideas offer a compelling example of the explanatory power of metaphysics: of how it can both elucidate and ground facts of clinical observation that, although described, couldn't be quite explained before.

   Nature in consciousness

   article

   Essentia FoundationBoy van Droffelaar, PhDSeptember 18, 2026

   We never encounter nature outside consciousness, observes Dr. van Droffelaar. Nature, as lived and known, is always already in it. It is in this sense that wilderness experiences—the felt presence of nature in its most primordial form—can sustainably transform human consciousness, bringing idealism to life in the core of our being; not as a conceptual abstraction, but as an embodied philosophy.

   Eliminating the impossible: The metaphysics of consciousness

   article

   Essentia FoundationPeter Guy Jones, BASeptember 25, 2026

   Peter Jones argues that, despite the historical inability of Western metaphysics—especially when compared to science—to eliminate hypotheses and arrive at consensus views, the metaphysical method does enable us to drive to conclusions. He elaborates on this view and identifies the key criteria that allow us to discard untenable metaphysical theories. What is left is nondual idealism, he argues.

    Naina Eira Gupta is a philosopher, Buddhist practitioner and PhD researcher at the University of Exeter, working at the intersections of philosophy, psychology and neuroscience with a focus on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and meditation. Her current research examines altered states of consciousness—specifically, the phenomena of unitive experiences and ego dissolution. In this conversation with Hans Busstra, Gupta shares how a psychedelic experience in her youth set her on a lifelong personal and academic journey into the nature of self and reality, and how she found in the Nāland

    Beyond psychopathology: Can Analytic Idealism reframe physical illness?

    article

    Essentia FoundationPhilip Goodwin, PhDOctober 9, 2026

    Dr. Goodwin argues that, under Idealism, all illnesses, not only mental health conditions, are a result of abnormal dynamics in the medium of mind. This includes infections, cancers, and even broken bones. The implications, he argues, open up new horizons for the expansion of effective treatment strategies, provided that we find ways to keep the nonsense—such as considering all illnesses merely psychosomatic—away.
