Thank you gene, it's good to be back! I love your photo it's so "'mystic" looking....

It is done- and thanks for the motivational incentives.

Those closing comments are being secreted right now up there in my skull bone jelly but with all the complex chemistry going on up there the precise phenomenology has not quite precipitated out. I will add one more reagent and I think I will have it by nightfall.

Good video interviews with many leading thinkers and authors on consciousness and the cosmos.

Hey Gene,

Thanks for the heads up about the article. Wasn't able to get it because of the membership fee but am planning to read through the other posting that Annie(?) put up after yours along the same lines. Will be most interested to read and share thoughts soon. Thanks!

Thanks Gene. I've not had the opportunity to attend a gathering but I am trying to open some space on my calendar. Looking forward to meeting folks and talking philosophy!

These are a couple of Chalmers postings of online papers. Also Chalmers book, The Conscious Mind, helps clarify the question of what consciousness isn't.

Hi Gene,

I am excited to about this group and looking forward to meeting you. As a new discussion topic will be chosen in October, should I still come this Saturday? If so, are there any materials I should bring and/or discussion topics/readings I should brush up on?

Many thanks,

Alex

Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to attending discussions and events and having some good dialogue! I'm out of town this week so hopefully we'll meet at the next meeting after this week.

Thank you - it is good to be back!
