The Pribram – Bohm Hypothesis, Shelli R. Joye

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

A holoflux theory of consciousness as modulated energy is hypothesized and shown to support both local and non-local properties. This thesis emerges from an integral evaluation of evidence drawn from: (1) the holonomic mind/brain theories of Karl Pribram, (2) the ontological interpretation of quantum theory by David Bohm. Applying an integral methodology to superimpose and correlate seemingly disparate concepts from among these sources and others, a composite-theory emerges, a “holoflux” theory of consciousness, after the term favored by Karl Pribram to describe David Bohm’s “holomovement” between an explicate order andan implicate order. This Pribram–Bohm composite holoflux theory is shown to …

Presence And The Paradox Of Love, Joanne Burtch

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

Spiritual experiences often seem unrelated to the intellectual orientation of science. However, some discussion of the laboratory study of spiritual practice does attempt to include the mystery and the human experience in its dialogue. An exploration of the paradox of love demonstrates how it might be possible to find a relationship between the scientific understanding of spirituality and the profundity of spiritual experience.

Eugene Taylor: An Appreciation, Simon Senzon

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

By sharing Professor Taylor’s impact on me with you in this way, I hope to offer a glimpse of the depth he pointed us to. Rather than just tell you his stories and his theories, I am sharing layers of my own experience both in similar synchronicities from my own personal mythology and also the meaning I make for myself as I go deeper in understanding what he was really teaching. If you can see that I am sharing something beyond the words themselves, then you know what he meant by soteriological writing. The words are used to help you …

Beyond Perennialist And Participatory Spiritualities: Transformation And Culture, Joanne Burtch

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

A comparison of perennialism, participatory spirituality, and Gebser’s structures of consciousness demonstrates how deeper inquiry is required to understand how perennialism and participatory spirituality would address the relationship between individuals and culture with regard to how transformation happens. By reviewing how each of these philosophies approach context, the interpersonal, transformation, cultural relativity, pluralism, and multiplicity, the article identifies ambiguities that offer perennialism and participatory spirituality scholars the opportunity to explore their suppositions about spirituality more deeply.

Reembodying, Human Consciousness In The Earth, John Briggs

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

For the last 20,000 years or so the dominant mode of human consciousness has been one that divides reality into subjects and objects, and focuses on human desires and needs. This anthropocentric mode of consciousness has invented religions, built civilizations, amassed knowledge, and developed technology and science. It has also disembodied us from the Earth and led to the Anthropocene Era. Still with us is another mode of human consciousness that arguably once existed in a balance with the anthropocentric mode during our long hunter-gatherer, Paleolithic sojourn. This holistic, integrative mode of consciousness experiences the Earth as a mother, and …

On The Significance Of Psychodynamic Discourse For The Field Of Consciousness Studies, Robin S. Brown

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

Despite the obvious confluence of concerns between psychodynamic psychology and the emerging field of consciousness studies, the extent to which psychodynamic thinking has factored into the consciousness literature has been limited. With widespread interest in “the unconscious” having significantly diminished, the present paper asks what might be implied in the shift towards the notion of “consciousness”—what about this cross-disciplinary designation has come to attract attention not only within the academic world, but also in the popular press? That the term does indeed invite contributions from a variety of disciplines makes the field both a meeting space, and a battleground. It …

Premises Of A Natural Science Of Consciousness, Ervin Laszlo

CONSCIOUSNESS: Ideas and Research for the Twenty-First Century

According to the mainstream of modern science, there cannot be a natural science of consciousness because consciousness does not actually exist in nature. It is a product or by-product of the workings of the brain. There is a natural science of brain and the nervous system, for these are bona fide elements of the world, but there cannot be a natural science of a phenomenon of which the very existence is in question. In the prevalent view con2sciousness is something that happens when neurons fire in the brain. This is said to be confirmed by experience. There is no consciousness …

Legal Protection Of Freedom Of Religious Belief In Criminal Legislation And International Agreements (Comparative Study), Rafah Khadir Jayad

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The legal protection of human rights in general, and freedom of belief in the subject we are currently examining in particular, differs significantly from merely studying the elements of crimes and punishments. Rather, it extends beyond that to the effectiveness of this criminalization in protecting the interest, which here is freedom of belief, from infringement and aggression, and its effectiveness in regulating it. Human rights must be viewed on the basis of what should be, not on the basis of lived reality, because they stem from the inherent dignity of the human being, not from the gifts and grants of …

The Effect Of Information Processing Strategies On The Achievement Of Arabic Grammar Rules Among Fourth-Grade Literary Students, Abdul Zahra Lafta Aday Al-Badran, Aref Hatem Hadi Al-Jubouri

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The Arabic language is a tool of communication that God Almighty has clothed in the garment of holiness when He chose it from among the languages ​​of mankind to be spoken in the Arabic tongue. He imposed it as a means of communication between Him and His servant. Prayer is not valid without it, in addition to all of His rulings: transactions and worship. A language of this status must have guardians who preserve and serve it, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: “Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian” (Al-Hijr: …

Self-Regulated Learning Strategies Among University Students, Airtiqa\' Yahyaa Hafiz

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Self-regulated learning is one of the most prominent topics addressed by theorists and specialists in educational psychology. The importance of self-regulated learning lies in modeling student learning and providing opportunities for continuous learning by increasing learner autonomy and activity. A self-regulated learner possesses the ability to monitor their own performance and is focused on learning for the sake of learning. Learning is more effective when it helps learners achieve goals independently, know the methods, and choose the strategies they will follow when dealing with topics. This, in turn, helps reduce distraction, increase self-confidence, boost motivation, and enhance the ability to …

Representations Of Water In Al-Sayyabi’S Poem As An Objective Equivalent, Hamid Yaqoub Naima, Muslim Honey Hussein

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

This research studies and analyzes the representations of water that Al-Sayyab was able to bestow upon them from his emotions and infuse them with from himself, making them emit rays and ripples brimming with connotations that express his visions when he despaired, resented, and bored with the world, or when he hoped for healing, salvation, and rebirth. From here, water formed the poet's vast field that carried his vision of himself, the other, the homeland, and existence. He imitated it with all its natural components in the shores and rivers, with their small boats, cliffs, and breezes, their moonlit nights …

Phonetic Formation In Surat Al-Balad, Ammar Nehme Nghamish

Each scene had a rhythmic impact that affected the recipient. It was found that this rhythmic impact was divided into three intervals: dal, noon, and ha. It became clear that dal had a distinctive rebuking impact that suited the content of the first scene, while the second impact came to establish an idea or a matter. As for the third scene, it is the dominant scene in this …

The Morphological Significance Of Vowel Words In Arabic: A Study In The Book “Fiqh Al-Lughah” By Al-Tha’Alibi, Razak Jafar Abdul Hussein, Zainab Eidans Halil

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

It's no secret that morphological forms are semantic structures. Transforming a word into different structures for various meanings is the practical meaning of morphology. Our ancient scholars investigated the semantic connotations specific to morphological forms and identified the difference between linguistic meaning and morphological meaning—that is, the meaning of the form or structure. They also highlighted the critical role morphological forms play in identifying the boundaries between words in context. (2) And it is what Ibn Jinni (392 AH) called artificial meaning. So he said in the chapter on verbal, artificial and semantic meaning: Know that each one of these …

The Origin And Development Of Children's Songs In Iraq, Ali Hashem Al-Zirjawi Students, Hussein Attia Al-Sultani

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Researchers in Iraq have not paid any attention to children’s poetry or their songs. Rather, they have treated it unfairly and shown no mercy, and have increased their neglect and denial of it. Their argument is that it is little and scattered and does not rise to the level of academic theses. Most of those who have written about it since the seventies until today have dealt with children’s journalism or culture, as in the case of Dr. Hadi Numan Al-Hiti, or they have marginally mentioned verses from this one and others from that one, and passed over others indifferently. …

The State Of Man In The First Text: An Analytical Study In Light Of The State Of The Prophet (Pbuh) In Medina, Mohammed Abdul Hamza Khamis Al-Dini

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The establishment and existence of the state is a necessity in human life, and a preoccupation of rational people and thinkers since the most ancient and distant times, starting from ancient civilizations to the renewed thinking in the present times. The state, as Aristotle mentions, is “the work of nature, and man is by nature a social being, and he who remains savage by virtue of the system, not by virtue of chance, is in fact a fallen human being, or a human being superior to the human species” (1). In Aristotle’s view, the state is a natural need required …

Modern Woman Magazine (A Study Of The Marriage Topics It Contains In 1936), Wael Jabbar Good

Modern Woman magazine, published in 1936, is one of the magazines concerned with Iraqi women's affairs. It attempted to address the harsh reality that Iraqi women were experiencing at that time. However, it was the voice of Iraqi women at the time, and did not represent a specific party or political trend, nor was it one of the magazines or newspapers that supported the monarchy in Iraq. Among the most prominent topics discussed in the magazine regarding marriage were the phenomenon of celibacy, its causes and effects, the issue of forced marriage and its negative effects on society, and the …
