International Journal on Eternal Wisdom and Contemporary Science

Welcome to the second issue of the International Journal on Eternal Wisdom and Contemporary Science. As we continue our journey of exploring the profound intersections between ancient wisdom and modern scientific inquiry, we are thrilled to present a collection of articles that push the boundaries of our understanding and inspire new ways of thinking.

In this issue, we delve into a diverse array of topics, each offering unique insights and revelations. We have selected seven Research and/or Review Papers and one Perspective for your readership. Each Research and/or Review Paper has gone through one or more peer review cycles and was found to meet the various criteria of research publication. 

1. Primacy of Universal-Consciousness: Insights and Revelations from the declassified US Army Stargate Project by Manish Pajan and Switi Gupta. This paper explores the intriguing findings from the Stargate Project, shedding light on how a framework built on the concept of Universal-Consciousness can provide a better understanding of reality.

2. The Mind’s Sky: On Computers and Consciousness by Dr. Subhash Kak. Dr. Kak’s article shares his perspective on the current philosophical and scientific debates surrounding artificial intelligence and consciousness by analysing the nature of mind and machine.

3. The ways of future correspondence and harmony: Intertwining Mind and Meditation in the Microcosm & Machines and Mathematics in the Macrocosm by Prof. Joy Sen. The paper delves into the interplay of the two worlds - the world of mind (microcosm) and the world of machines (macrocosm) and attempts to initiate an understanding of their possible overlaps that may determine an ‘emerging new science’ integrating the two worlds.

4. Bhoutika Shastra To Adi Bhoutika Shastra: A Methodological Exploration Through Quantum Mechanics and Neo-Quantum Physics by Rameshchandra Ketharaju. This work bridges ancient Indian metaphysical concepts with cutting-edge quantum theories, offering a methodological exploration that challenges conventional scientific paradigms and makes a bold and revolutionary proposal in the evolution of scientific thought - a ‘new science’ called Neo-Quantum Physics.

5. Integration of Enneagram with J Krishnamurti’s Thoughts: An Effective Tool for Personal Growth – A Case Study by Dr. V. Vijaykumar. This article sheds light on how the Enneagram personality system, along with the philosophical teachings of J Krishnamurti, provides a powerful framework for personal development and self-awareness and then outlines how this approach helped the author in his life.

6. The Sanatana Concept of the Five Pranas and its Interrelation with Human Health and Well-being (Svastha) by Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri). Dr. Frawley explains the concept of the five pranas as outlined in the ancient Indic knowledge repositories. There is no equivalent concept of pranas in contemporary science though the nascent theories of biofields seem to be heading in the same direction.

7. A Primer on Phytocentric Awareness: Ancient and Recent Insights by Dr. Prakash Venglat. This piece revisits ancient wisdom regarding plant consciousness and awareness, juxtaposing it with recent scientific discoveries to offer a comprehensive overview of phytocentric awareness.

8. Holistic Wellness of Counselors and Health Care Professionals through Mindfulness Self-Care Techniques and Conscious Living by Prof. Suneetha B Manyam. Prof. Manyam shares the importance of mindfulness and conscious living for those in the helping professions, offering practical techniques for self-care through her comprehensive andsystematic review of literature from 2003-2024.

Each of these contributions reflects our journal's commitment to fostering a dialogue between the timeless wisdom of the past and the innovative discoveries of the present. We hope that this issue will not only inform but also inspire our readers to explore these intersections in their own lives and work.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the authors for their insightful contributions and to our reviewers for their meticulous evaluations. As always, we welcome feedback from our readers and look forward to continuing this intellectual journey together. You may share your observations and thoughts with us at ijewcs@gi4qc.org
