Hi there, and welcome to Ideas on Consciousness! Ideas on Consciousness (IoC) is a student organization and DeCal at UC Berkeley.

Reminder: Join us this weekend for our first Cafe Hours event of the Semester!

Come join us this Sunday, 10:00 AM at Caffè Strada to discuss consciousness, philosophy, neuroscience, and content from the first week of our DeCal! SeulAh, our Treasurer and Co-Facilitator, will be hosting:

Caffè Strada,
2300 College Ave,
Berkeley, CA 94704

We’ll also be glad to discuss any potential further readings, ideas, or concepts you have in mind! Everyone in the IoC community is welcome to attend, whether you’re a DeCal student, a member of the club, or a non-student, we’d love to have you!

Also… Too many emails? We agree! You can expect us to convert to a monthly email format from this point forward.

Food For Thought:

Quote of the month: “The form of this person is like a saffron-coloured robe, like white wool, like the Indragopa insect, like a flame of fire, like a white lotus, like a sudden flash of lightning. He who knows it thus attains splendour like a sudden flash of lightning. Now therefore there is the teaching, not this, not this for there is nothing higher than this, that he is not this. Now the designation for him is the truth of truth. Verily, the vital breath is truth, and He is the truth of that.” - The Brhad-āranyaka Upanisad
