Quantum Coherence And Consciousness

First, I must say that I know of the difficulties of trying to study consciousness using the science style. Philosophers have done some good job in clarifying where the problem lie. The logical possibility of philorophical zombie is what spoil the trip of persuing consciousness using objective knowledge, like any other knowledge. However, there are things that we can agree. One is that consciousness is corelated to brain activities. It is here where I step in to wonder if consciousness is corelated with quantum coherence. Coherence here can be understood as just the way in which different waves oscillate synchronously.There are 3 reasons why a quantum theory of consciousness is apealing:1.)Conscious systems acts as a single system2.)Quantum indeterminism can be compared to freewill3.)The collaps of wavefunction by a conscious observerThere are some bonuses we wish. These are telekinesis, telepathy, near death experiences, souls, universal awareness, nirvana etcHere, I will focus on fact that a conscious organism can act as a single whole. This is where we can relate it with quantum coherence. You will easily agree that your awareness is a single thing as you look at this page, there are several portions letters all the way from top to bottom. But there is this one thing common to all the things; you are aware of all of them. It is this thing connecting all things that we wish to compare it with the quantum coherence of all the things thus connected. Or let me put it in another way. You will agree with me that if I was to make another 'you' and place it somewhere else, for that guy to be realy you and to be the very same awareness as yours, he must consciously be making the same decisions as yours all the time. In other words, you must be in perfect synch with the guy. Such a synch can be called coherence.But this intuition of yours is well confirmed by experiment. You will want to say that if all the neurones in your brain are realy part of a single thing you call it self, then they must be coherent in some way. By studying neuron oscillations (brain waves) of wake and sleep people, or also those in meditation, scientiststs can find that the state of wake (consciousness) is corelated to synchronous firing of several neurones. One can even link to level of awareness to the number of neurones firing coherently and/or the measure of synchronisity in the firing. The question then becomes whether the cause of such a synchronous firing is quantum coherence or classical communication between various neurons.There is an intuitive reason to think that it is quantum coherence. The classic connection takes time. No matter how short the time is between the part of the brain that hears say a roar and the part that is seeing this page, as long as there is a time in between, it won't appear in the same awareness! Or let me put it this way: by not focusing sharply on any specific letter in this page, you can see all of them all at once albeit blurred. But then each of the signals goes to different portion of your retina. You can't say that you are a tiny dot somewhere and then that dot scans all the letters so fast that you can't notice the duration. This is because the illusion that two things appearing at two slightly different moments are appearing at the same moment is caused by the persistence of the image in the retina even after the causing object is off. So it is always true that for you to perceive the illusion of simultaneity, you must still perceive several things (in this case, persistent images in the retina) ACTUALLY all at once!! Classic coherence can't explain this, quantum coherence can! You are indead a 'single dot' but a quantum coherent one, pervading the whole brain!!There are several cases where quantum coherence do happen to macroscopic objects. These are supeconductivity, superfluidity, Bose Einstein condensates, lasers etc. The reason why biophysicists don't beleive that the brain is a quantum coherent system is that they think that it is too hot. Ordinary objects are said to undergo quantum decoherence when many particles interact. But then one way of harmonising this is to suggest a different way of understanding quantum coherence all together. So my approach is different from that of Penrose and Hemeroff. I say every decoherent system can have yet another coherent wave superimposed on the decoherent wave. This other wave is of to high a frequency and/or too low amplitude to be detected in ordinary objects. The brain, however, is both an amplifier and a demodulator. If you are a 'spiritual', you can think of the other coherent wave, superimposed on the waves that are the brain as the soul incarnate in the brain. It has all the quilifications of a soul!

How To Let Go Of Your Emotions By Melanie Beckler A practical method to start practicing letting go is presented in David Hawkins' book, “Letting Go” which you can refer to for more details. The key points of the method are as follows:Awareness:…

"Well that's OK bro....You tried your best and hit the limit you could manage....64-hours falls short of the ideal 72, but, still a great start....You will find that the more you do these longer fasts, the better you will get....When I started these…"

"Hello Drekx, I had to break my 3 days fast cycle after about 64 hours, because I felt weak had no energy and begun to sweat, but anyway it was a great experience, over and out LOL"
