Gita and Arthasasthra - War, Panpsychism and Protoconsciousness

More about the book

Exploring the relationship between consciousness and matter, the book posits that consciousness is intrinsic to all existence, addressing the complexities of the mind and its experiences. It argues that violence stems from a dominance of the cerebellum, leading to disorders that distort cognitive functions. The text connects these ideas to historical and religious contexts, highlighting examples from the Mahabharata, Zen Buddhism, and Sufism, while also discussing modern phenomena like religious terrorism and animal sacrifice rituals as expressions of transcendence.
