Welcome to Streams of Consciousness

Streams of Consciousness.org is the brainchild of Consciousness Researcher Kevin Kovelant. The plural "streams" was chosen deliberately, as the study of the nature of consciousness requires a multi-faceted approach.

Philosopher William Garrett once made the assertion that "for every PhD, there is an equal and opposite PhD." Indeed, the nature of consciousness has been sought after through a variety of fields of research- philosophy, psychology, biology, neurology, physics, various spiritual and occult systems, and more. Oftentimes a seemingly concrete solution to the "problem" of consciousness in one field can be counter-balanced by an equally concrete and very opposite solution in another field. More often than not, this can also happen within each field's various sub-fields! To fully understand and appreciate the mystery of consciousness, a multi-disciplinary approach becomes indispensable.

This website, while far from complete (and by no means claiming to have "THE" answer), will offer occasional articles, and links to research being conducted in Consciousness Studies and Dream Studies. No one field of study will be privileged above others, but this does not mean that everything will be accepted blindly. A critical eye is imperative in assessing the value of any research, and the fields of Consciousness Studies and Dream Studies are no different.

So, how is the site organized? Articles, will feature original content, both by the editor and others. The Blog contains commentary on current research or news stories, and occasional editorializing. News will feature links to news-related items from the mainstream media about Consciousness or Dreams. The Book Store is partnered with Amazon, and will provide an assortment of books related to the subject matter at hand. The Links page contains precisely that.
