Part Two – Threads of Consciousness
Consciousness of Form & Energy
I dreamt I died and went to heaven, and Saint Peter led me into the presence of God.
And God said 'You won't remember me, but I took your Quantum Mechanics,"
Robert Serber (Course in Berkeley,194747)
Everything comes from one single source. Neils Bohr stated that electrons are neither particle nor wave, “We simply do not know what they are; the term electron (or photon) is a comfortable label, nothing more”. While we like to conceptualize quanta as waves or particles or both, these are merely conceptualizations and do not describe quanta48. Wave-like aspect of quanta means a wave in a sense of information and not in a sense like a “water-wave”49. Einstein thought that space-time does not claim existence on its own but only as a structural quality of the gravitational field50. Einstein and Gödel were both stating that there is no time in the universe, that universe is a timeless (a-temporal) phenomenon, which means that the separation of past, present and future is illusory51. The gravitational field has a quantum structure; therefore space-time is the property of quanta52. Hence, considering all above mentioned arguments the gravitational field is the structural quality of underlying universal consciousness.
At the most fundamental level all forces and particles in the universe may be related and all the forces might be manifestations of a single grand unified force. Energy has no absolute measure, only transition of a system from one state into another can be defined, and energy is only possible to measure in relative terms. The subatomic level of universe could be described as quantum potentiality, expressed in the form of energy – “probability waves” and “probability particles”. At the subatomic level there are no isolated entities but patterns of probabilities, probabilities or tendencies of interconnections; which reveals the basic openness of the universe (Non-locality concept of Quantum Physics). The universe is complicated web of interconnections, impossible to decompose in isolated building blocks; and, with the essential part of observational participation, because the properties of any atomic object can only be understood in terms of the object’s interaction with the observer-constituent. At the quantum level the objective description of universe is impossible53.
The quantum theory declares that there is “something” beyond the physical world itself54. “Observations not only disturb what has to be measured, they produce it. We compel [the electron] to assume a definite position…. We ourselves produce the results of measurements.”55 As Jeffrey Gray put it succinctly, “The out there of conscious experience isn’t really out there at all; it’s inside the head.” Monistic idealism also stands on the similar thesis; the sense of separation that we feel is an illusion. Consciousness manifests by collapsing the wave-function. Our visual perceptions are a “simulation” of the real world, a simulation that is ‘made by, and exists within, the brain’ (Gray,2004,pp.10,25). The self-consciousness derives from the greater consciousness that is the ground of all being- In other words, the head you have come to know as your own is not your true physical head, but only a miniature perceptual copy of your head in a perceptual copy of the world, all of which is contained within your real head (Lehar,1999). John Archibald Wheeler says, "No elementary phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon" (quotedin Herbert's book, p.18)56. The projection takes place through perceptual fields, extending out beyond the brain; the fields themselves are fields of probability, and they influence probabilistic processes; in this sense they resemble the fields of quantum field theory57. The illusion of outer is the reflection of inner - it is the brain-conceptualization of the perceived experience.
“The total number of minds in the universe is One,” Erwin Schrödinger58
Personification of fearfulness and fascination, capable of altering universal laws and the fundamentals of logic; that directs and presents a complete illusion of an external world, including all bodily sensations; where in fact there is no such external world in existence- “Space and time are modes by which we think and not the conditions in which we live (Einstein)59”. The quantum mechanics has demonstrated that an act of human consciousness at one point in space can instantaneously cause a material system to change its behavior. Human consciousness, it is said, can cause changes at other points in space even before the thoughts occur. The mind exists beyond and throughout all space and time; it always existed, and always will exist60. There is a hypothesis that by knowing future it is possible to altering the present- "There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened61" After all, thoughts are part of the unbrok
