Neil Theise is a Professor of Pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Through his scientific research, he has been a pioneer of adult stem cell plasticity and the anatomy of the human interstitium. Dr. Theise’s book, Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being (Spiegel & Grau, 2023) calls on his studies in complexity theory to address topics such as consciousness studies and science-religion dialogue. In On Complexity and Consciousness he discusses his life, ideas and work.

In Why AI Makes Us Anxious About Our Own Thoughts, Ibrahim Halil Demirel argues that generative AI does not destroy originality but exposes the weakness of the idea that thought can be pure, untouched and entirely self-generated. Drawing on the author’s experience as a hydrologist, it compares AI-assisted writing with scientific modelling: both tools produce outputs that require human judgement, interpretation and accountability.

In AI-Boosted Religion, Cristian Horgos states that “AI religions are beginning to emerge as a significant cultural and intellectual phenomenon. This emergent development invites serious scholarly inquiry into the intersection of artificial intelligence, religious cognition, and the deep structures of spiritual longing that have characterized human civilization across millennia.”

Dr Edi Bilimoria is an award-winning author, engineer, and international speaker with over fifty years of study in the Perennial Philosophy. ‘Consciousness Came First’ is a unique, panoramic and powerful book bridging the gulf between contemporary science and the philosophy of the ages. Aimed at the general rather than the specialist academic reader, it is essential reading for all those attempting to unravel the mysteries of life in the modern age. Based on his monumental award-winning four-volume work ‘Unfolding Consciousness: Exploring the Living Universe and the Intelligent Powers in Nature and Humans’, it is arguably the most radical and persuasive reappraisal of the subject in decades.

Florian Coulmas is Professor emeritus of Japanese Society and Sociolinguistics at the IN-EAST Institute of East Asian Studies at Duisburg-Essen University.

THE SPIRITUAL IN ART COLLECTIVE is an international collective dedicated to research into the spiritual dimension of contemporary art. Formed in 2026 following an international Open Call, the Collective brings together artists from different geographical, cultural and disciplinary contexts. They are united not by a common aesthetic or a predetermined definition of the spiritual, but by a shared willingness to explore its meaning and possibilities within contemporary art.

David Falls writes about artificial intelligence, belief, secular meaning, and the future of human identity. This essay explores how human beings have long interpreted strange or unseen experiences as signs, spirits, visitations, or messages from beyond. The Universe May Be Stranger Than Religion Imagined moves through perception, pattern-making, grief, ghost belief, religious explanation, and the hidden realities revealed by modern science.

In Psychedelics and Language Model Temperature, Louis Mahon draws a parallel to how psychedelics affect human experience at multiple levels from perception to thought patterns and life reflections, before concluding by placing this analogy inside a larger project of using the internal mechanism of AI to better understand our own minds.
