Pushing the boundaries of human consciousness

Hi,

My name is Daniil Fedorov, and I am a PhD researcher based in {City}.

My goal is to create a system that integrates with all aspects of human being — physical, mental, and spiritual — to help people become more conscious.

My Worldview

• I believe in unity of all that there is in the Universe, which is permeated with seeds of consciousness. This Universal Consciousness to me is what people call God.
• The common pathway for every being, including humans, is becoming more conscious. Along the way, we get to explore and marvel at the world, both external and internal, create music and art, do science, eat fruit, make friends, and enjoy life.

My Most Significant Problems ¹

P1: Despite humanity’s advances in technology and social organization, we remain driven by primitive instincts and short-term thinking that limit our ability to face global challenges.

P2: Human brains are exponentially outpaced by computers in processing speed, memory, and input/output bandwidth.

P3: 145 million people live with brain damage due to traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke, with a global economic burden exceeding $1 trillion in 2021. ^{2 3}

My Missions

M1: Increase human consciousness by helping people achieve physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual self-awareness.

M2: Contribute to advancing brain-computer interface technology for high-bandwidth communication between humans and machines.

M3: Develop a proof-of-concept preclinical model of a biohybrid brain implant for motor recovery following brain damage.⁴

My Practice

Yogic philosophy and practice is one of the pillars of my life. It is a highly effective system for taking care of the body, keeping the mind healthy and sharp, exploring the inner self, and becoming more conscious. All of this empowers me to eventually create a positive contribution to the world.

What I Enjoy

Learning

I am a lifetime learner. While in the third year of medical school, I set onto the journey of self-studying various subjects in STEM, starting from mathematical analysis and physics at Milan Polytecnic. This has been my most challenging, yet fun and mind-opening endeavor.

My Learning Journey

Reading

I aim to read two books per month (and mostly fail to meet this goal). I often surf through books in my digital libraries to inspire my thinking in a certain direction rather than focusing on reading from start to finish.

Some books require a lot of thinking and digesting, like Thinking, Fast and Slow. Occasionally, fiction like Dune goes beyond the imaginary world to deeply resonate with my values and spirituality.

Finally, there are various textbooks or encyclopedias through which I browse to get an overview of the field and incorporate it into my world view.

I seek to be a student of history. My goal in reading history is to identify the fundamental currents that drive societies and civilizations. History is written by the winners, and today some governments even re-write history textbooks from scratch. It is a great challenge to find objective, high-quality historical books. My two favourites are Russia A History by Gregory L. Freeze and The Penguin History of the United States of America by Hugh Brogan.

Occasionally, when the strings of my soul are tuned right, I read spiritual literature. Some books are a long personal journey, like The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Other books like The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall ⁵ are a reference and a collection of insights into various esoteric systems. I aim to read (or at least skim through) most sacred books of the world throughout my life.

Here are some more books I often recommend to people:
