Myth and Mind: The Origin of Human Consciousness in the Discovery of the Sacred
2010
By accepting that the formal structure of human language is the key to understanding the uniquity of human culture and consciousness and by further accepting the late appearance of such language amongst the Cro-Magnon, I am free to focus on the causes that led to such an unprecedented threshold crossing. In the complex of causes that led to human being, I look to scholarship in linguistics, mythology, anthropology, paleontology, and to creation myths themselves for an answer. I conclude that prehumans underwent an existential crisis, i.e., the realisation of certain mortality, that could be borne only by the discovery-creation of the larger realm of symbolic consciousness once experienced a…

Is our brain hardwired to produce God, or is our brain hardwired to perceive God? A systematic review on the role of the brain in mediating religious…
2009
To figure out whether the main empirical question "Is our brain hardwired to believe in and produce God, or is our brain hardwired to perceive and experience God?" is answered, this paper presents systematic critical review of the positions, arguments and controversies of each side of the neuroscientific–theological debate and puts forward an integral view where the human is seen as a psycho-somatic entity consisting of the multiple levels and dimensions of human existence (physical, biological, psychological, and spiritual reality), allowing consciousness/ mind/spirit and brain/body/matter to be seen as different sides of the same phenomenon, neither reducible to each other. The emergence …
S. S. Horužija antropoloģiskais pagrieziens: uz filozofijas, teoloģijas, psiholoģijas un fizikas robežas // Anthropological Shift by S. S. Horuzhy: a…
The article is dedicated to the problem of anthropological shift in humanities. S. S. Horuzhy, a prominent expert in the field of sciences and philosophy, proposes a new anthropological model based on Hesychast doctrine of man to become the universal ground for all humanities. Although the dialogical perspective by S.S. Horuzhy seems to be rather profound, it however becomes inadequate in the researches on the non-dialogical, i.e. monistic worldview.

Wealth Creation and Science Research : Science Research, the root of wealth in our Knowledge Society, is endangered
Two vastly dierent historical stages in wealth creation are the traditional one based on agriculture during past millennia, and the one based on science research in our present globalizing knowledge society. The dierences happen to be so considerable, and the emergence of the second stage relatively so recent, that the awareness of the full range of consequences regarding the proper pursuit of science research, which is the root of wealth in our knowledge society, is missing to an extent that may, even in the medium term, seriously endanger the sustainability of modern human society. Here is presented a brief account of some of such dangers, following which a parable, entitled "Is it a mere…
Content, cost, and context: A framework for understanding human signaling systems
2019
Humans frequently perform extravagant and seemingly costly behaviors, such as widely sharing hunted resources, erecting conspicuous monumental structures, and performing dramatic acts of religious devotion. Evolutionary anthropologists and archeologists have used signaling theory to explain the function of such displays, drawing inspiration from behavioral ecology, economics, and the social sciences. While signaling theory is broadly aimed at explaining honest communication, it has come to be strongly associated with the handicap principle, which proposes that such costly extravagance is in fact an adaptation for signal reliability. Most empirical studies of signaling theory have focused on…
Tēze: Dalījums fizikā, reliģijā un mistikā ir ... mistika/līdz aplamībai novecojusi lieta
No trim minētajām jomām fizika ir visvairāk sasniegusi realitātes aizsniegšanai, galvenokārt pateicoties kvantu mehānikas sasniegumiem, bet tās nodalīšanās no divām citām jomām kavē pašas tās attīstību. Vēl vairāk, fizika pati iekrīt savā misticismā un varbūt arī pašdarinātā reliģijā - ja tas vēl nav noticis, tad tas notiks - ja tā neizdarīs radikālus apvērsumus savās nostādnēs, kas to vairs nešķirs no augšminētajām jomām.
Creation theory and related scientific questions (in Latvian)
This article discusses recent discoveries from creationist sources and common media that invite for the search of explanations alternative to classic evolutionism. Among the topical issues is the actual nature of dinosaurs and their possible co-existence with the modern man. Evidence exists for a global catastrophe that is reflected both in the fossil record and periodic climate changes. The mankind may have appeared on the earth without transition through primitive forms.
