The Body: The First Home of Survival: Rethinking Psychological Suffering Through Survival Rules, Neural Judgments, and Observer Awareness

The body constitutes the primary foundation of human life, and the nervous system evolved fundamentally to preserve and protect it. From the earliest stages of development, the brain continuously interacts with the environment, caregivers, and lived experiences, gradually constructing patterns whose primary function is to increase the probability of survival. This paper proposes a conceptual … Read more

Who Is the Observer? A Reflection on the Brain, Survival, and Observing Consciousness

Throughout life, human beings encounter a wide range of thoughts, emotions, memories, social roles, and personal narratives. They can become aware of their fears, observe their thoughts, and even reflect upon their identity and personality. This experience gives rise to a fundamental question: What is it that is aware of all these processes? This article … Read more

Identity: The Truth of Human Beings or a Construct for Survival?

Identity is one of the most fundamental concepts in human experience and plays a central role in how individuals perceive themselves and the world around them. Most psychological and neuroscientific theories regard identity as the outcome of interactions among memory, experience, learning, culture, and brain structures. This article presents an alternative perspective, proposing that identity … Read more

Addiction, Meaning, and the Modern Brain: Rethinking the Cycle of Pleasure, Obsession, and Consciousness in the Interaction Between the Midbrain and the Neocortex

Addiction and obsessive behaviors are commonly interpreted as disorders of the brain’s reward system. However, many dominant models in neuroscience overlook the role of the search for meaning, identity, and existential peace in intensifying these cycles. This article presents an interdisciplinary conceptual framework at the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy of consciousness, and spirituality, proposing that … Read more

Cognitive Arrest (Brain Stop) and Rupture in Neural Data Through Repetition and Pressure: A Theory of Interrupted Awareness and the Possibility of Liberation

This paper introduces the concept of Cognitive Arrest (Brain Stop) as a condition in which the natural flow of awareness becomes interrupted within recorded, repetitive, and conditioned neural patterns. In this state, instead of moving freely in the present moment, awareness becomes trapped in past emotional data, engrams, and anxiety-based loops. Through the selective amplification … Read more
