2. One-Time Limerence Or An Apocalypse
“Socrates states that mania is not always evil, but can be a blessing, when it is sent as a gift from the gods.

How William James Foreshadowed Neural Annealing
An excerpt from The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature (1902), chapter Conversion (p176): “When I say ‘Soul,’ you need not take me in the ontological sense unless you prefer to; for although ontological language is instinctive in such matters, yet Buddhists or Humians can perfectly well describe the facts in the…

Introduction to Gravitational Annealing
A forthcoming theoretical paper “The Weightless Mind and Liberation: Vasocomputation, Graviception, and the Harmonic Architecture of Consciousness” (working title) frames gravity as not just a strong prior that sculpts vascular architecture and cytoskeletal form, but also as a constraint and metronome deeply encoded in tissue tension, subtly shaping our experience of weight, cellular architecture, and subjective experience.…
