Summary

Time Perception Science explores the fascinating ways our brains construct our subjective experience of time. It examines how neural mechanisms and cognitive processes work together, influencing everything from planning to social interactions. One intriguing fact is that our perception of time isn't passive; it's actively shaped by factors like attention and emotion. This book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay of various brain regions, rather than pinpointing a single "time center."

 
The book progresses systematically, first laying the groundwork with historical and philosophical perspectives. It then delves into the neuroscience of time perception, exploring brain regions and neural oscillations. Next, it examines cognitive and psychological influences, such as how conditions like Parkinson's disease can alter time perception. By integrating findings from neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science, Time Perception Science offers a comprehensive understanding of how we experience time, including how our brains process temporal information.

    [T]he drama opens in Revelation the same as in “the Book of the Dead,” with “the resurrection and the glory” of the coming Son. “Behold He cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him.” It is the risen Lord of Resurrection who says: “I was dead, and behold I am alive evermore, and I have the keys of death and of hades” (Ch. i 18). This is Horus of the resurrection risen from Amenta in his triumph over death and hell or Sut and Akar. He proclaims himself to he the all-one, Har-Sum-taui-Neb-Uâ. Jesus, like Horus, is the “faithful witness” for the Father… –from “Egyptian Wisdom in the Revelation of John the Divine” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

    The concept of the underworld has been a central theme in mythology and religious traditions across cultures and centuries. It is a realm shrouded in mystery, often depicted as the final destination of souls after death. Whether seen as a place of judgment, purification, or eternal rest, the underworld reflects humanity’s deep curiosity and fear about what lies beyond life. From the Greek Hades to the Egyptian Duat, these mythical realms offer insight into the values, beliefs, and spiritual practices of ancient civilizations. While each culture envisions the underworld differently, common themes emerge, such as the presence of a ruler of the dead, trials for the soul, and pathways leading to different fates.  
      
    Death and the afterlife have always been significant concerns for humankind, shaping rituals, moral codes, and philosophical ideas. The question of what happens after death has inspired countless myths, each attempting to explain the mysteries of existence. For some, the underworld is a dark and terrifying place filled with suffering, while for others, it is a peaceful domain where the dead find rest. In many traditions, the journey to the underworld is not simply an end but a transition, offering the possibility of rebirth, redemption, or transformation. These beliefs influenced burial customs, from the elaborate tombs of Egyptian pharaohs to the Norse practice of ship burials, each designed to prepare the deceased for the next stage of existence.  
      
    The underworld also plays a crucial role in religious and moral systems, reinforcing the idea of divine justice. Many myths describe a system where souls are judged based on their deeds in life, determining whether they receive reward or punishment. The Greek underworld, for instance, separates the virtuous from the wicked, assigning them to Elysium or Tartarus.
