  3. The Consciousness Trilogy: Reading Three Wagers on the Question We Cannot Settle

    This page exists for readers who want a map of the consciousness sequence published on BolesBlogs in the spring of 2026. Three articles, taken together, cover the contemporary terrain on the deepest question philosophy still asks. Each can be read alone. Read in sequence, they form a coordinated treatment of the consciousness problem that points beyond any single solution toward what the field as a whole has and has not accomplished.

    The problem itself is older than philosophy as a discipline. We know that we are conscious because we are reading these words and something is happening as we read them. We extend that knowledge to other people, to animals, and possibly to stones, on grounds that work in practice while collapsing in theory. David Chalmers named the difficulty the hard problem of consciousness in his 1995 paper โ€œFacing Up to the Problem of Consciousness,โ€ and the difficulty has not been resolved in the thirty-one years since. Why does any arrangement of physical stuff feel like something from the inside? Why does any neural configuration produce the experience of redness, sourness, dread, or hope? No materialist account has explained this convincingly, and the standard moves to dissolve the question have either denied that consciousness exists in the way we ordinarily mean (illusionism), extended consciousness to every level of organization (panpsychism), or made consciousness the only substrate with matter as its appearance (analytic idealism). The three articles treat each of these alternatives in turn, by way of its strongest contemporary defender.

    The first article, The Inwardness of Things: McGilchrist, Panpsychism, and the Question We Cannot Settle, takes up Iain McGilchristโ€™s 2021 book The Matter With Things and his proposal that matter is one phase of consciousness rather than its source, the way ice and vapor are phases of water. It evaluates his case, with credit for what works and pressure on what fails, and concludes that panpsychism remains a serious option whose central difficulty (the combination problem of how micro-experiences merge into macro-experiences) has not been adequately addressed in McGilchristโ€™s work or in the panpsychist tradition more broadly.

    The second article, Consciousness Explained Away: Daniel Dennettโ€™s Illusionism and the Theory That Spends Its Own Foundation, considers Dennettโ€™s lifelong project of arguing that phenomenal consciousness as ordinarily conceived does not exist. It gives Dennett full credit for his demolition of the Cartesian Theater and his contributions to cognitive science, while showing why the central illusionist claim (that consciousness is a user illusion the brain stages for itself) collapses on close inspection because illusions presuppose conscious subjects to whom they appear. Written in the wake of Dennettโ€™s death in April 2024, the piece tries to argue with him at the level of seriousness his work always demanded.

    The third article, The Dissociated Universe: Bernardo Kastrupโ€™s Analytic Idealism and the Mind That Contains the World, examines Bernardo Kastrupโ€™s claim that reality is mental at base, with individual minds being dissociated alters of universal consciousness, comparable to the alternate personalities that appear in cases of Dissociative Identity Disorder. It presents Kastrupโ€™s strongest moves, including the empirical work on psychedelics, NDEs, and quantum measurement, and tests them against the difficulties his position inherits, including the decombination problem, the contested status of DID as a clinical category, and the challenge of accounting for the resistance the world offers to subjective will. It closes by drawing the three positions together and showing what the trilogy as a whole accomplishes.

    Several reading paths are available, depending on what the reader brings to the sequence.

    A reader new to philosophy of mind should start with the first article. McGilchrist provides the easiest entry into the territory because his prose is generous and his analogies accessible, and the articleโ€™s analysis demonstrates the analytical method that the next two articles will apply to harder cases. Read the second article next for the materialist counter-position, then the third for the closing turn that completes the triangulation.

    Readers already familiar with the consciousness debate can take the articles in any order, since each contains a self-contained treatment of its primary subject. The third articleโ€™s closing section synthesizes all three positions and may serve as a useful entry point for the impatient reader, who can then proceed to whichever individual article most interests her.

    Skeptics of the entire enterprise should start with the second article. Dennett offers the most aggressive case against making the consciousness question a serious metaphysical issue, and the articleโ€™s evaluation of why his case nonetheless fails will give the skeptical reader a more accurate sense of why the question persists than any defense of consciousness as fundamental could provide.

    Readers of theological or contemplative orientation will find the third article most directly engaged with positions that have been held in non-Western contemplative traditions for thousands of years. Kastrup himself acknowledges the affinity between analytic idealism and Advaita Vedanta, and the articleโ€™s treatment of his arguments may help such readers see how a contemporary philosopher with two doctorates and a CERN background defends positions that might otherwise be dismissed as mystical.

    What the trilogy as a whole accomplishes is mapping the contemporary terrain in enough detail that a reader can see why the consciousness problem remains genuinely open after three centuries of modern philosophy and two and a half millennia of pre-modern reflection. None of the three thinkers has solved the problem. Each has identified real difficulties in the others. The honest verdict is that the consciousness question may not be solvable by argument alone, and that the next generation of work in this area will need to go beyond the choice among materialism, panpsychism, illusionism, and idealism, and find some way of asking the question that the current frame cannot accommodate.

    That said, the trilogy demonstrates what philosophy at its best can do. The standard runs through every article: identify what works, press what fails, name what survives. The discipline involves refusing to settle prematurely and refusing to mystify when settling becomes impossible. Readers who follow the sequence to its end will walk away with sharper questions and fewer false certainties than when they began, which is what serious reading is supposed to do.

    A note on the wager metaphor used throughout the trilogy. Each of the three thinkers placed a bet about what consciousness is and what it requires. McGilchrist bet that consciousness reaches all the way down into matter as one of its phases. Dennett bet that consciousness as ordinarily conceived does not exist and that the appearance of inwardness is a user illusion the brain stages for itself. Kastrup bet that consciousness is the only thing there is and that matter is its appearance under conditions of dissociation. Each wager was placed honorably and pursued with rigor. None has paid off in the sense the bettor intended. All three have produced philosophical work that will outlast the lifetimes of those who placed the bets, which is the most honest verdict serious reading can deliver about serious thinkers who have committed themselves to questions that exceed what any single mind can resolve.

    The articles run between two thousand seven hundred and three thousand four hundred words each. Each was written for a university-educated audience that respects the difficulty of the question and is willing to follow careful argument to its conclusions. Each is available in its original markdown format. The position taken throughout the trilogy is that getting the question right matters more than choosing a winner among the available answers, and that the best service we can render to the question is to pass it forward in better condition than we found it.

    The three articles, in order:

    ARTICLE ONE The Inwardness of Things: McGilchrist, Panpsychism, and the Question We Cannot Settle

    ARTICLE TWO Consciousness Explained Away: Daniel Dennettโ€™s Illusionism and the Theory That Spends Its Own Foundation

    ARTICLE THREE The Dissociated Universe: Bernardo Kastrupโ€™s Analytic Idealism and the Mind That Contains the World

    Read alone, each article offers a treatment of its primary subject that does not depend on the others. Read together, the three form a synoptic account of where the contemporary consciousness debate stands and why the answers currently available leave the question genuinely open. The reader who completes the sequence will know more about the topography of the problem than most working philosophers do, and will be in a position to evaluate future contributions to the debate with the analytical tools the trilogy has put in place.

    That is what philosophy at its best can offer. The trilogy is offered in that spirit.

  14. The EleMenTs Series Is Complete: A Young Adult Fantasy Trilogy

    Twenty years ago, I began imagining a story about three disabled teenage girls who discover they possess elemental powers. The idea stayed with me, growing and changing as I grew and changed, waiting for the right moment to be told. That moment has arrived. The EleMenTs Series is complete, and all three novels are now available.

    Elle is Deaf. Meen is blind. Teena has cerebral palsy. Thrown together in a New York City group home as wards of the state, these three young women share something beyond their circumstances: the ability to command the elements themselves. Elle bends the wind through the same hands that shape American Sign Language. Meen controls fire and temperature, her blindness becoming a tactical advantage when she can feel heat signatures others cannot see. Teena moves the earth, feeling through stone and concrete the way she learned to feel every obstacle the world placed in her path.

    Their names encode their identity. Take the right letters from Eleanor, Mingzhu, and Christina Sarah, and you spell EleMenTs. They are wind, fire, and earth. In the second book, Tal arrives to complete the quartet, a girl with autism who counts everything and trusts no one, until she discovers she can feel water the way the others feel their elements. Four girls. Four elements. And an organization called Prometheus Applied Sciences that will stop at nothing to acquire them.

    Book One: Beneath the City

    Beneath the City introduces the three protagonists as they meet in the group home and discover what they can do. In the tunnels beneath New York, they learn to trust each other and to understand that their disabilities were never weaknesses. The foster care system sees them as problems to be managed. Society sees their disabilities before their humanity. But something is watching them, and the tunnels hold secrets that will change everything.

    Available now: Kindle Edition $3.99 | Paperback $14.99 | Free PDF

    Book Two: The Invisible Hand

    The Invisible Hand picks up three months after the tunnel. The girls have been practicing in secret, but they know theyโ€™re being watched. When a new volunteer named Sarah arrives at the group home asking too many questions, they realize Prometheus Applied Sciences has found them. Talโ€™s arrival changes the dynamics, completing the elemental set and forcing the girls to choose between hiding and fighting. When Prometheus springs its trap, staying hidden is no longer an option.

    Book Three: The Reckoning

    The Reckoning takes the fight to Washington. One year later, the girls travel to the capital for a Senate hearing on a registration bill that would force everyone with abilities to identify themselves to the government. Vance, the agent who once hunted them, returns with evidence that exposes Verdant Agricultural Holdings as the shadow corporation behind Prometheus. Hundreds of people with abilities come forward publicly, refusing to hide any longer. Senator Morrison, who championed the registration bill, faces a choice between persecution and protection. The conclusion of the trilogy asks what it means to be seen, and whether visibility is liberation or the final vulnerability.

    Why This Story Matters

    This is not a story about overcoming disability. I have no patience for narratives that treat disability as an obstacle to be conquered or a lesson for the able-bodied to learn from. The EleMenTs Series is about power that exists because of disability, not despite it. Elleโ€™s Deafness shaped how she perceives vibration and movement; when wind became her element, she already knew how to feel the world in ways hearing people do not. Meenโ€™s blindness gave her decades of practice reading her environment through non-visual means; fire and heat were extensions of senses she had already developed. Teenaโ€™s cerebral palsy taught her that the body does not always cooperate with intention; when earth became hers to command, she finally had a domain that responded to her will.

    The villains in this story are not monsters or aliens. They are corporations and committees, systems and structures, the ordinary machinery of power that decides who counts as human and who counts as resource. Prometheus Applied Sciences wants to study and control people with abilities. The Senate wants to register and track them. The foster care system wants to manage them until they age out and become someone elseโ€™s problem. These are the antagonists because these are the forces that disabled people actually face. I wanted to write a fantasy that felt true.

    The trilogy runs approximately 72,000 words across its three volumes. It is written for young adult readers but contains nothing that would embarrass an adult picking it up. The prose is direct, the action is consequential, and the characters are allowed to be angry, afraid, and occasionally wrong. I did not soften the story for a presumed audience. Young readers deserve the same respect as any other audience.

    Read the Complete Series

    All three books are available now in Kindle, paperback, and free PDF editions. You can explore the complete series at the EleMenTs Series page on BolesBooks.com, or begin with Beneath the City and follow the girls from the tunnels of New York to the halls of the Senate.

    The EleMenTs have arrived. The world will have to deal with them.

The idea stayed with me, growing and changing as I grew and changed, waiting for the right moment to be told. That moment has arrived. The EleMenTs Series is complete, and all three novels are now available.

    Elle is Deaf. Meen is blind. Teena has cerebral palsy. Thrown together in a New York City group home as wards of the state, these three young women share something beyond their circumstances: the ability to command the elements themselves. Elle bends the wind through the same hands that shape American Sign Language. Meen controls fire and temperature, her blindness becoming a tactical advantage when she can feel heat signatures others cannot see. Teena moves the earth, feeling through stone and concrete the way she learned to feel every obstacle the world placed in her path.

    Their names encode their identity. Take the right letters from Eleanor, Mingzhu, and Christina Sarah, and you spell EleMenTs. They are wind, fire, and earth. In the second book, Tal arrives to complete the quartet, a girl with autism who counts everything and trusts no one, until she discovers she can feel water the way the others feel their elements. Four girls. Four elements. And an organization called Prometheus Applied Sciences that will stop at nothing to acquire them.

    Book One: Beneath the City

    Beneath the City introduces the three protagonists as they meet in the group home and discover what they can do. In the tunnels beneath New York, they learn to trust each other and to understand that their disabilities were never weaknesses. The foster care system sees them as problems to be managed. Society sees their disabilities before their humanity. But something is watching them, and the tunnels hold secrets that will change everything.

    Book Two: The Invisible Hand

    The Invisible Hand picks up three months after the tunnel. The girls have been practicing in secret, but they know theyโ€™re being watched. When a new volunteer named Sarah arrives at the group home asking too many questions, they realize Prometheus Applied Sciences has found them. Talโ€™s arrival changes the dynamics, completing the elemental set and forcing the girls to choose between hiding and fighting. When Prometheus springs its trap, staying hidden is no longer an option.

    Book Three: The Reckoning

    The Reckoning takes the fight to Washington. One year later, the girls travel to the capital for a Senate hearing on a registration bill that would force everyone with abilities to identify themselves to the government. Vance, the agent who once hunted them, returns with evidence that exposes Verdant Agricultural Holdings as the shadow corporation behind Prometheus. Hundreds of people with abilities come forward publicly, refusing to hide any longer. Senator Morrison, who championed the registration bill, faces a choice between persecution and protection. The conclusion of the trilogy asks what it means to be seen, and whether visibility is liberation or the final vulnerability.

    Why This Story Matters

    This is not a story about overcoming disability. I have no patience for narratives that treat disability as an obstacle to be conquered or a lesson for the able-bodied to learn from. The EleMenTs Series is about power that exists because of disability, not despite it. Elleโ€™s Deafness shaped how she perceives vibration and movement; when wind became her element, she already knew how to feel the world in ways hearing people do not. Meenโ€™s blindness gave her decades of practice reading her environment through non-visual means; fire and heat were extensions of senses she had already developed. Teenaโ€™s cerebral palsy taught her that the body does not always cooperate with intention; when earth became hers to command, she finally had a domain that responded to her will.

    The villains in this story are not monsters or aliens. They are corporations and committees, systems and structures, the ordinary machinery of power that decides who counts as human and who counts as resource. Prometheus Applied Sciences wants to study and control people with abilities. The Senate wants to register and track them. The foster care system wants to manage them until they age out and become someone elseโ€™s problem. These are the antagonists because these are the forces that disabled people actually face. I wanted to write a fantasy that felt true.

    The trilogy runs approximately 72,000 words across its three volumes. It is written for young adult readers but contains nothing that would embarrass an adult picking it up. The prose is direct, the action is consequential, and the characters are allowed to be angry, afraid, and occasionally wrong. I did not soften the story for a presumed audience. Young readers deserve the same respect as any other audience.

    Read the Complete Series

    All three books are available now in Kindle, paperback, and free PDF editions. You can explore the complete series at the EleMenTs Series page on BolesBooks.com, or begin with Beneath the City and follow the girls from the tunnels of New York to the halls of the Senate.

    The EleMenTs have arrived. The world will have to deal with them.
