Summary

Time Perception Biology offers a fascinating exploration of how our brains measure and interpret time, weaving together insights from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and evolutionary biology. The book presents a groundbreaking perspective that challenges the traditional view of time perception as a unified process, instead revealing it as a complex interplay of multiple biological systems that have evolved to meet different temporal needs.

 
The text systematically unpacks this complexity, beginning with cellular mechanisms and progressing through neural networks to psychological manifestations. A particularly intriguing aspect is the examination of how different brain regions - including the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum - work in concert to create our sense of temporal reality.

 
The book draws on cutting-edge research methodologies, from molecular studies to electromagnetic brain mapping, presenting evidence that demonstrates the intricate relationship between neurological processes and our experience of time. Through carefully structured chapters, readers journey from the fundamental role of the brain's internal clock systems to broader applications in understanding human consciousness and behavior.

 
The book excels in making complex neuroscientific concepts accessible while maintaining academic rigor, making it particularly valuable for both specialists and general readers interested in understanding temporal processing. Its practical implications extend to treating temporal processing disorders and understanding conditions where time perception may be impaired, such as ADHD and neurodegenerative disorders.

The Secret of Death and Way to...

Swami Nikhilananda, Swami...

What happens after death? Some say that we continue to live in a different form; while others say that death is the complete extinction of our existence. Since the beginning of human thought, we have asked ourselves three simple questions: Who am I? Where have I come from? Where am I going? 
This book, based on the teachings of Yoga and Vedanta, seeks to answer these questions about death and life after death. The answer to death is Knowledge of the Self--realization of our true identity, our divine existence, our spiritual nature--and to not be afraid of the unknown. 
Chapter 1: Is Death the End? by Swami Nikhilananda 
Chapter 2: Fear of Death by Swami Adiswarananda 
Chapter 3: Sufferings of Life by Swami Adiswarananda 
"Life on earth is meant for our soul to journey on towards its freedom. The soul’s three basic desires are immortality, unrestricted awareness, and unbounded joy. These are attained only when the soul discovers its true identity, the all-embracing Self. In search of its identity, the soul changes bodies and places, and finally, knowing the limitations of all pleasures and realizing that everything finite is shadowed by death, it practices detachment and desirelessness and realizes its immortal Self. Immortality is the return of the prodigal son to his all-loving father. It is the return of the reflection of the sun to the sun. It is the river of individual consciousness meeting the infinite ocean of Pure Consciousness. It is the realization that we are like leaves of a tree and that our true identity is the tree. Immortality is our separative existence joining the infinite existence of absolute freedom... The journey to this final freedom is a solitary one; alone a person is born, alone he suffers, and alone he dies. By realizing his true Self, he becomes united with all beings and things and attains to final freedom. Only then comes the end of all sorrow, all fear, all anxiety."

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Is it possible to end the thousand yesterdays? - 13 November 1968

Could you comment on this? 
• The impossible becomes possible only when you discard the impossibility of it.

Meanwhile, Billey gardner, the feisty and opportunistic former slave of James Madison, pesters Isaac with notions of a business partnership; the charismatic Dr. Cornelius Sharp uses Isaac to confront Jefferson as a debt-ridden slaveowner; and the Reverend Richard Allen provides Isaac with a most surprising document.When an exuberant Rachel returns from England with a key insight and Isaac's hated nemesis Daniel Shady reappears, bent on revenge, the book rises to its crescendo, in which Isaac must rise to his own power and bargain at last with Thomas Jefferson on his own terms.
