Since John Von Neumann's proposition in 1932 of a relationship between quantum mechanics and the brain, different perspectives and proposals have evolved (Tarlaci, 2010). Hu & Wu (2006) point out that the seat of consciousness would be the spin within the membranes of neurons and proteins in the brain. Sieb (2016) applied the theory of relativity to spatiotemporal consciousness and found...

We can learn more about how our reality is made and what non-ordinary states of consciousness are by studying the Quantum Hologram Theory of Physics and Consciousness (QHTC). The QHTC says that consciousness is not local and that altered states of consciousness can help us understand how our minds work in more than one way. That's what Schrödinger thought. He thought that the quantum mechanical...

Faith healings, as reported in the faith traditions, take us into a different territory of consciousness. Placebo effects are thought to be a quantum reality and may be responsible for some of the anomalous healings. If spiritual dimensions are brought into the equation, some of the healing miracles may also have spiritual and spiritistic components. Advanced external spiritual agencies may be...

This letter is not a classic scientific work, but a cavalcade of memories that recall the long road of a research pathway on the relationship between psychopathology, brain and consciousness. Extraordinary things happened during this journey. Discussions with Kary Mullis, meetings with world-renowned scientists such as Stuart Hameroff, Mark Rasenick, Mario Tiengo and others. With them, a field...

We analyze the results of Libet type experiments in light of a quantum physics inspired model of consciousness states and show that the claim about the absence of free will due to onset of readiness potentials prior to awareness of decision is not tenable. It simply points to the fact of the existence of unceasing subconscious processing beneath the conscious level out of which only those that...

Since prehistory, shapeshifting has been a feature of several shamanic societies. Shapeshifting refers to a physical transformation of a shaman into an animal; and second, a shaman or other person behaving like a specific animal. This phenomenon has informed several mythological traditions. Prehistoric and extant shapeshifting provides a platform for understanding transformative elements of...

Neuroscience has theorized the ”two minds” model of the human brain from research on post-surgery ”dual consciousness” of split-brain patients. This article attempts to explain the functioning role of oppositional consciousness dynamics, and how it interacts with quantum mechanics. This article proposes that consciousness is an interactive process of polarizing an observed source of higher...

Subjective sciences fail the cast iron scientific test of replicability and struggle to get acclaimed by the mainstream sciences. The world’s major faith traditions embrace the concept of a spiritual body formed in another dimension which incarnates into the product of conception while in the embryonic or foetal stage. The refoulement process has significance in the ethical discussion of such...

The difficulty in solving the measurement problem may derive from a lack of thorough understanding of the nature of consciousness. Recent findings from parapsychological research and confirmed reports of veridical perceptions during near death experiences (NDEs) show that consciousness can acquire non-local information and may act as an independent entity outside of the body. But how apparent...

In this paper, we present a case of a boy – Noah Wall, who till today surprises the world of neuroscience with his will to grow his brain and survive. The case presented in this study sets a stepping stone in understanding the advent of the will to make a choice, from a neuro-quantum mechanics interpretation. We propose that besides our internal states of choices (neurogenesis, neuroplasticity,...

Consciousness research of the last few decades approaches consciousness using classical research methodology, namely, as if consciousness was an object similar to quantum fields or elementary particles. This approach is not able to grasp the subjective aspect of consciousness, namely, one has the ability to observe, to be conscious of how one’s mind is creating a scientific model of...

Over the years a number of researchers have tried to demonstrate that it is possible to modify matter (such as water, DNA, EEG, heartbeat, random number generator (REG), etc.) through consciousness. In this work a group of about 100 people has been set up to demonstrate the effects of thought over matter. They all belong to the Consciousness Research Institute (IRC) and they have interacted at...

The quantum consciousness model explains that our consciousness is immortal, non local and can work independently of the physical brain. The model also proposes that our perceived reality is created by our consciousness by interpreting vibrating energy. The Urantia book is a spiritual and philosophical revelation from the spiritual world that aims to unite religion, science and philosophy. The...

Transpersonal experiences transcend one’s usual self-identity, and may transform a person’s life. In this study, 25 on-line interviews were conducted with Filipinos who responded positively when asked if they had ever had a “life-changing experience.†The Casto Spirituality Scoring System was used to determine which of these could be considered “spiritual†in nature and which could...

Prior to the 20th century, the strictly deterministic laws of classical Newtonian physics made the integration of a non-physical entity such as volition into a scientific model of brain dynamics a seemingly impossible task. However, the probabilistic laws of quantum physics discovered in the 1920’s have provided researchers with a valuable new tool, allowing them to account for non-physical...

The work of the late Professor Ian Stevenson has become a benchmark in the history of psychical research that is pertinent to psychiatry–to the extent that he may be termed the cartographer of reincarnation research. Over fifty years of rigorous research, he identified 2500 international experiences with intrinsic reincarnation features, and thereby established a corpus of evidence that may be...

This note calls attention to the fact that efficient causes – the sort of cause that changes something or makes something happen – can play no constit-utive role in the immediate cognitively conscious relation between cognitive subject and a cognitive object. It argues that: (1) it is a necessary condition for there being an efficient causal relation that it alter its relata; and (2) it is a...

The paper discusses two obstacles standing on the way towards the science of consciousness and several possible ways of removing them. The first obstacle reflects the tension between the hard problem of consciousness and limitation of physics, which prevents us from directly talking about conscious experiences in theory. The second obstacle is related with combination problem presented by...

Our brain is not a "stand alone" information processing organ: it acts as a central part of our integral nervous system with recurrent information exchange with the entire organism and the cosmos. In this study, the brain is conceived to be embedded in a holographic structured field that interacts with resonant sensitive structures in the various cell types in our body. In order to explain...

The ‘theory of everything’ (TOE) is conceived to embrace all natural sciences Today the TOE is discussed mostly in physics. From Copenhagen interpretation to date, another discussion is widely unfolded on the role of consciousness in quantum experience and physical descriptions in general. The paper combines both the discussions and argues for a global theory of consciousness (GTC). It will...

This article looks at mental illness, in particular psychotic mental illness, such as schizophrenia, and spirituality. It argues that the phenomenon of ‘voice hearing’, which is present in schizophrenia (but also other mental illnesses) can be understood at least in part as telepathy and can be explained in a spiritual framework. For this purpose, literatures from the parapsychological field as...

Nonlocality has been supported by experimental evidence since the 1980s. This paper offers a theoretical framework for what and where it is, based on recent quantum field theories that identify three levels of nature: 1) finite local field of physical matter/energy; 2) infinite unified field; and 3) finite nonlocal field in-between. The in-between level is where ‘quantum mind’ is placed;...

Abstract: Creativity is a multilevel process with a biological substratum. Studies of creativity signify the irreducibility of mind and may show the way beyond the quantum consciousness, unraveling its near-paranormal nature. The human mind should be regarded as a means of communication, constituting both a highly sophisticated receiver and a transmitter. The current genetic and...

The ritualistic use of the ancient psychoactive sacrament teonanacatl, or “The Flesh of God,” represents an integral aspect of pre-colonial Mesoamerican culture and continues, in various syncretic forms, to this day. Providing a brief history of various tribes of Mexico known to utilize Psilocibe species within a shamanic context, focusing primarily on the Mazatec people of Oaxaca, this paper...
