Who would you be if you could be anyone? go anywhere? do anything? Well, you can! Luke Soloman will show you how. Luke is more than merely self-conscious. He is sui generis, literally believing himself into being. BEGINNER'S LUKE is the first novel in a series of six madcap adventures that, collectively, make up the imaginary life of this lovably irreverent modern-day Walter Mitty. While titillating in the rambunctious tradition of Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac, this visionary debut equally impresses as a work of literary art. Luke's signature obsessions with self, sex, satire and slapdash highlight a serious, and life-changing, point: consciousness creates. The point is there is a point to living in the imagination--for only through it can we reinvent ourselves and our world. "A mind-bending journey through the mind of the ultimate iconoclast." --Apex Reviews

Abstract Many spiritual traditions employ certain mental techniques (meditation) which consist in inhibiting mental activity whilst nonetheless remaining fully conscious, which is supposed to lead to a realisation of one’s own true nature prior to habitual self-substantialisation. In this paper I propose that this practice can be understood as a special means of becoming aware of consciousness itself as such. To explain this claim I conduct some phenomenologically oriented considerations about the nature of consciousness qua presence and the problem of self-presence of this presence.

Fishing in the stream of consciousness, researchers now can detect our intentions and predict our choices before we are aware of them ourselves. The brain, they have found, appears to make up its mind 10 seconds before we become conscious of a decision -- an eternity at the speed of thought.

By studying how people think about three different types of abstract entities—a corporation, a robot and a God—we can better understand how people think about the mind.
