Thank you for visiting my Reflections & Ponderings site. What you'll find here, via links both below and in the contents panel to the left, are informal short essays and even shorter musings on the topics that interest me most, including:
Consciousness, ontology, and metaphysics:
A critique of Bernardo Kastrup's idealism
Some critical thoughts on reincarnation
Two naturalistic afterlife possibilities
Awakening:
The Collapse of Reflexive Self-Identity
Cognitive development vs. spiritual awakening
Psychology and Intelligence:
What the fear of death is really about
Cognitive complexity as an aspect of intelligence
The Intelligence Trap book review
Suicide:
The worst "arguments" against suicide
Suicide pros & cons (negotiations with one's conscience)
In addition, there are several book and movie reviews that have been posted elsewhere over the years, as well as links to my annotated seeker film list and a blogsite where, so far, there are just two pieces (both somewhat critical): one on astrology and another on NDEs.
I welcome thoughtful correspondence at the email address linked in the copyright notice below.
