TSV Vol. 1 No. 1 The Side View: Introduction to the Series Attention is an art form. Perception is a skill. Adam Robbert Decentralizing Cognition The goal of meditation is to temporarily suspend the sense that there is a self riding around in the head who is somehow separate from the rest of the body and the world. Jason Snyder, PhD Mixing It Up Ecological psychology highlights that perception is an active process. Person perception should be understood in the same way. Liam Satchell, PhD Deconstructing Mindfulness There’s been a marked increase in studies of mindfulness and meditation in recent years. I’m worried that many of today’s researchers may think they know what they’re doing. David Collins, PhD Generating Wholes In living systems, the whole generates the parts. The parts do not exist a priori. Joe Norman, PhD Introducing Ecobehavioral Design Behavior change can be difficult to achieve. However, much of the struggle arises from how we conceive what is changing. Mark James PhD(c) The Art of Mushroom Foraging Mushroom foraging is an art that deserves to be studied with patience and passed on to future generations with contagious enthusiasm. Roope Kaaronen, PhD(c) Culturing Consciousness The essence of philosophy is to practice the death of our self-models, thereby opening attention to broader terrains of awareness. Oshan Jarow Practice Is not a Life Hack People say that practice is something you do with your body, but that's backwards. Your body is something you do with your practice. Sam Mickey, PhD Why German Idealism Matters German idealism is an invitation to exercise our freedom of thought and to consider that what at first appears impossible may become necessary. Matthew T. Segall, PhD The Ecology of Design Design is the bootstrap by which animals, humans in particular, become capable of lifting themselves up to novel levels of existence. Roope Kaaronen, PhD(c) The Hidden Self Sitting meditation is a kind of ascetic practice, like fasting, that helps us widen and deepen the aperture of our attention so that the subtleties of Being can show themselves Jacob Given, doctoral student Inscription on the Heart The self is surely more than the sum of its parts, but summing the parts is a way of beginning to think about who or what a self is. Claire Fanger, PhD The Contemplative's Conscience When we practice contemplative unknowing, we let go of all of our conceptualizations, and we come to rest in a more fundamental experience of being alive.
