How to Survive in an Extremely Oligotrophic Site

Edited by Felipe García-Oliva, James Elser, Valeria Souza ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants absorb atmospheric C as they grow and convert it to biomass. However, plants acquire N and P only when these are available in the soil solution, which makes ... Read more

Your genome is not a tidy instruction manual made mostly of genes. It is a crowded, restless landscape filled with ancient hitchhikers, copied fragments, and sequences that can still move today. The Jumping Genome answers a startling question: what if some of the most important forces shaping who we are come from DNA once dismissed as junk?

Mind And Reality: The Space-time Window

by Wolfram Schommers ...

The relationship between mind and reality is usually perceived as an event that takes place in reality and producing simultaneously an internal image in the mind. So it takes place twice, so to speak, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the two events. Within this conception, matter is embedded in space and time, and can be designated as “container-principle”. This monograph ... Read more

明晰夢のアトラス。深層心理学から意識のフィールドへ。

深層心理を探求するための地図、実践法、理論。実践演習60種付き。

by Bruno Del Medico ...

Series Book 955 - JAP - PensareDiverso
1918年6月7日の夜明け、ヨーロッパが第一次世界大戦の炎に包まれていた頃、英国の哲学者兼数学者アルフレッド・ノース・ホワイトヘッドは、驚くほど鮮明な夢を日記に記した。「自分が夢を見ていることを完全に自覚していたにもかかわらず、その世界は現実そのものよりも現実的に感じられた」。公式な伝記ではしばしば見落とされるこの短い記述は、明晰夢が思考の歴史を静かに貫いてきたことを示す数多くの手がかりの一つであり、チベットの神秘家たちのノート、中世のアラビアの夢占い書、19世紀の旅行記、そして科学者や詩人たちの孤独な直感の中にその姿を見出すことができる。本書は、まさにその認識から出発する。明晰夢は、エキゾチックな心理学的珍事ではなく、人間が自らの無意識を探求するためにこれまでに手にした最も強力な道具の一つである。躊躇の余地はない。直接的な経験が示すように、夢の中で意識が覚醒すると ...

意识之域。迈向共享的宇宙意识

新的场论将个体意识转化为宇宙现实。

by Bruno Del Medico ...

Series Book 956 - ZHO - PensareDiverso
长期以来，我们一直认为意识是一种私人体验，存在于每个人的头脑中。它像一个封闭的房间，像一盏只照亮我们内心世界的个人小灯。但如今，情况正在发生变化。关于集体行为的科学研究、社会神经科学的发现、当代分布式思维理论，甚至某些源于冥想传统的洞见，似乎都在讲述一个不同的故事：也许意识不仅属于“我”或“你”。也许它并非始于并止于我们身体的边界。或许，存在着一个更广阔的空间将我们包裹其中，一个共享的疆域里，我们的思想、情感与感知并非彼此割裂，而是深度交织。这个空间惊人地类似于一种弥漫的场域——如同电磁场或引力场般环绕并穿透我们。我们看不见它，正如看不见重力，却能感知其效应。我们无法触摸它，正如无法触摸无线电波，却始终浸润于其影响之中。种种迹象表明，意识场确实存在：一个微妙而广阔的场域，不属于任何人，却支撑着所有人。当两人建立联系时，不仅是两个心灵的相遇，更是这个场域的局部激活。某种东西被点燃 ...
