Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe paper argues that human reality is interpreted through both rational and emotional processes, and proposes a model of the human being as a wholeness composed of the brain-mind (ego), body-mind (Id), and an outer world, with the 'I' or soul as the unifying element. It discusses coherence among perception, attention, and consciousness, and examines thought, fantasies, visions, and dreams. Concepts such as intent, will, morals, and ethics are explained, and the Jungian collective conscious and unconscious are analyzed. Intuition and religious experience are hypothesized to arise from deep quantum chemistry and infinite dancing fractal spirals that form the energetic backbone of the world. The paper considers man as a real wholeness and debates subjectivity, consciousness, and intent from this perspective.

Abstract
In this paper we look at the rational and the emotional interpretation of reality in the human brain and being, and discuss the representation of the brain-mind (ego), the body-mind (Id), and the outer world in the human wholeness (the I or "soul"). Based on this we discuss a number of factors including the coherence between perception, attention and consciousness, and the relation between thought, fantasies, visions and dreams. We discuss and explain concepts as intent, will, morals and ethics. The Jungian concept of the human collective conscious and unconscious is also analyzed. We also hypothesis on the nature of intuition and consider the source of religious experience of man. These phenomena are explained based on the concept of deep quantum chemistry and infinite dancing fractal spirals making up the energetic backbone of the world. In this paper we consider man as a real wholeness and debate the concepts of subjectivity, consciousness and intent that can be deduced from such a perspective.
