New Blog - Zero Fixity: Interface Between Awareness, Cognitive Science, and Technology



I'd be promoting this new blog even it wasn't created by one of my online friends, C4Chaos. Zero Fixity is a site dedicated to exploring the interface between awareness, cognitive science and technology. In essence, they are looking at some of the same stuff I tend to post here - a fellow blog of consciousness geeks.

Here is more from their "About" section:

About

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

~ T.S. Eliot, “Four Quartets


What It Is

Zero Fixity is a site dedicated to exploring the interface between awareness, cognitive science and technology.

A place in cyberspace where cognitive scientists, philosophers of mind, science-minded meditation practitioners and teachers from all spiritual and secular traditions can gather to discuss the latest developments in the science of well-being, neuroscience, meditative technologies and postmodern reframing of traditional spiritual practices.

An oasis on the web where people can draw inspiration and information for their own chosen form of practice that will improve their own well-being and well-being of others.

What It’s Not

Reification of idealism, scientific materialism, postmodernism, integralism, armchair philosophizing, religion, mystical traditions or New Age ideology.
