Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fair warning is given to the materialists and physicalists who think we are nothing more than our brain and body. DeGracia throws down the gauntlet and offers substantial challenges to such shallow and naive views in this provocative set of essays. This collection consists of PlaneTalk blogs from 2013 and 2014, covering a variety of topics about this and the other worlds. The Möbius geometry that lets us move amongst the planes is discussed, as are the ten types of samadhi described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. Read about Wilder Penfield the dualist neurosurgeon, and what he says about where consciousness begins and ends in the brain. A Toy Model of Epistemology is developed based on Chaitin's ideas in algorithmic information theory. Leibniz' monads and Richard Feynman's philosophies are discussed, and so much more. There's bound to be something here for everyone interested in the links between our physical and nonphysical existence.
