Alan Watts discusses the Indian philosophy of the world as maya - under its multiple meanings as illusion, art, magic, creative power, measure, etc. Various techniques in the arts are used to illustrate the delicate and vibrational character of the material world, and to suggest a new approach to the old philosophy that the universe is "mind" only.

This book advances the Principle of Anti-Symmetry: the claim that symmetry has never existed in nature as more than a cognitive projection. What science repeatedly reveals as “symmetry breaking” is not the loss of an original balance, but the disclosure of reality’s true structure—irreducible imbalance.

This podcast starts with a deep examination of Richard Bach's book "Illusions," which made a profound difference in my life. And then we will launch from there into a deep dive into the philosophical, spiritual, metaphysical, and mystical aspects of our world. Along the way, we will explore and test the lessons in the book, the wisdom of the ancients, and the metaphysical implications of much modern science.

In Beyond Biocentrism, acclaimed biologist Robert Lanza and astronomer Bob Berman take the listener on an intellectual thrill ride as they reexamine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself. The first step is acknowledging that our existing model of reality is looking increasingly creaky in the face of recent scientific discoveries.

What if every truth we hold began as a beautiful mistake? This book is a meditation on the nature of illusion—not as deception, but as one of the mind’s essential ways of knowing. Here, illusion is not debunked or dismissed; it is explored as a bridge between ignorance and understanding, a necessary fiction through which humans reach toward the incomprehensible.

Every king is eventually replaced. Every CEO is eventually forgotten. Every worker who gives twenty years to a company is eventually shown the door while someone else sits at their desk on Monday morning.

What if time isn't real—and reality is moving faster than you realize? From strange weather and restless nights to days that seem to vanish in the blink of an eye, something about our world feels different. In The Time Illusion, Daphne Anne Sotheby explores a bold question most of us have never dared to ask: What if time is not what we've been told it is? Blending philosophy, science, spirituality, and real-world observation, this thought-provoking book explores the possibility that time is a human construct—and that modern society has chosen to accelerate it.

You Are Not Alive: The Illusion of Consciousness and Free Will A dark, blisteringly honest philosophy book that dares to say what the self-help aisle never will. What if everything you believe about yourself—your identity, your choices, your soul—is a lie? What if consciousness isn’t magic, but math? Not light, but glitch? Not purpose, but pattern? In this provocative philosophical manifesto, philosopher Jason Ostendorf dismantles the comfortable illusions of modern life—free will, morality, meaning, even love—and offers something more brutal, more beautiful, and far more liberating: truth.

This book explores how meaning, often assumed to be a stable or innate feature of reality, is in fact a constructed phenomenon — shaped, transmitted, and manipulated through language, cultural systems, economic structures, and ideology. Drawing on thinkers such as Wittgenstein, Lacan, Orwell, and contemporary cultural critics, the text unpacks how language limits thought, how culture recycles and fossilizes symbolic forms, and how capitalism turns meaning into a consumable commodity.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) reveals himself in this autobiography, which is simultaneously an account of the early history of psychoanalysis, to have been an outsider from the start. This fascinating account describes the journey of a young, Jewish doctor setting out to find his way in the world...

Ortega’s unique passion for and leadership in publicizing the truth about human will comes across throughout the book’s devastating, yet accessible, explanations of why free will is impossible, and in its descriptions of the harm free will-belief causes us personally and societally. What also sets Ortega’s work apart from refutations by others is his strong recognition that humanity’s overcoming the belief in free will is an historic evolutionary leap in human consciousness.

Phenomenology has often been hailed as the last sanctuary of European depth—a noble attempt to reclaim the lost transparency of the world. Yet its refined language conceals an irresolvable contradiction: the ambition to describe pure experience in a realm where no purity exists, the wish to perceive the world “as it is” through a consciousness that always arrives too late to itself. Through an exploration of Husserl’s core concepts—intentionality, inner time, epoché, and reduction—the author shows how each strives toward the impossible, while maintaining a haunting poetic precision.

Although countless books have been made into films, this may be the first time a screenplay is released as a book with the explicit purpose of enlisting a producer and financing for the film. Free Will - Moving Beyond the Illusion is not just about producing a full-length theatrical-release documentary. This book is about explaining to the world in a variety of ways that virtually everyone can understand and relate to, why nothing we humans think, feel, say, or do is ever up to us.

In The Labyrinth of Time, Anthony Peake explores the relationship between consciousness and reality, and in the process puts forward an amazing hypothesis that can explain many enigmatic phenomena, including déjà vu, precognition, near-death experience, and altered states. It features a cutting-edge account of modern time theory covering time slips, precognitive dreams, and the elasticity of time during moments of extreme stress, near-death experience, and certain stages of hypnotic trance.

Every act of knowing carries within it a quiet act of forgetting. Knowledge as Oblivion reveals the hidden symmetry between learning and loss, understanding and erasure, showing that progress in thought is not an accumulation but a perpetual renewal through disappearance. In this bold and luminous work, Boris Kriger dismantles the myth of intellectual continuity and invites the listener to reconsider what it means to “know.”

This book, more or less, demonstrates that time is most likely an illusion, its speed depends on age, and from a physical point of view, time, as such, may not make sense. Why should all this matter to us? Just as people suffered and died, they will continue to suffer and die. I have nothing to say to that. It’s true. And nothing can be done about it.

A ciência vem sendo maltratada. Negacionismo, achismos, falta de investimento: ela tem precisado lutar pelo que antes era óbvio, pois vivemos em um momento em que fatos inquestionáveis são...questionados. Os prejuízos desse desapego pela ciência são sentidos duramente nos dias atuais e amplificados pelas redes sociais. Que remédio há para esses males?
