«Learning without thinking is pointless. Thinking without learning is dangerous.» Confucius
The journey through life and complex systems, focused on the perception, analysis and communication, is over:
- What main learnings can be drawn from this?
- How can they be interpreted simply and globally?
13.1 Key features
What information should be retained and how should they be grouped and linked together even when they seem remote?
Cosmos
Still expanding, the universe was born from an infinitely small point of immense density, the temperature being -272°C.
It is composed of 4% known matter, 23% dark matter and 73%
energy, it is made mainly of vacuum and energy.
In contrast, a black hole is a celestial object with an extremely large mass in a very small volume.
Its gravitational attraction is such that time stops there and neither matter nor light escape from it.
For S. Hawking, the Big Bang simultaneously spawned
multiple universes, black holes being passages between them.
The cosmos is infinite and comprises about ten dimensions, most of them tiny and folded in themselves.
Space-time
The physical space-time entity has four dimensions: three for the space and one for the time.
95
The duration, the distance and the gravitation become the geometric properties of the same referential.
Boltzmann gives a probabilistic evolution at the microscopic to macroscopic transition, the entropy measuring the probability of the system stability.
In the current situation, a process takes place where the low entropy of microscopic states tends to complex systems with higher entropy.
The reverse recovery time is however possible but is all the more unlikely as the systems are complex.
Matter
The universe presents a great homogeneity at the level of its primary structure, the matter being energy and vice versa.
We distinguish the mechanical waves requiring a support, the electromagnetic and the gravitational ones passing through the vacuum.
The stable matter consists of 4 quantum particles: the quark up, the quark down, the electron and the electronic neutrino.
Per second, 60 billions neutrinos reach every skin square inch.
Quantum physics
The quantum mechanics describes the behaviour of the
infinitely small and is based on 7 principles, including:
Wave-particle duality
Every quantum object behaves both as an intangible wave and as a material corpuscle.
State superimposition
A quantum object can be in several states at once: an electron can rotate on itself in two opposite directions and an atom be in a fundamental and excited state.
96
A quantum particle is sensitive to minute variations in light, temperature, magnetic field or position leading to the collapse of its superposition.
During this decoherence, the object randomly takes one of the possible states and behaves like a material corpuscle.
Entanglement
When two particles of the same system are separated, they continue to behave as a single quantum object.
Any modification of one changes the other instantaneously, we speak of quantum no locality .
Perception
Since the very first organisms, the evolution of life has been accompanied by the parallel development of adequate analysis and communication systems.
Morphologically and physiologically different, plants have analysis and communication systems as efficient as the animal nerve one.
The most striking is the similarity of the internal mode of communication of plants with that of animals, based on the exchange of identical chemical messengers encoded by the same genes.
Consciousness
The consciousness is initiated with the perception of the surrounding environment, then of its own existence and finally of the meaning of the death.
The simplest organisms already have a consciousness, even if at this stage it is still rudimentary.
Perception of the surrounding environment is present in all animals, of self-consciousness appears with the central brain 97
and of death with the cortex in mammals.
In addition to the environment, plants perceive the existence of others, the time flow and the approach of death.
Plants can sink into unconsciousness and synthesize their own analgesics.
Thus, the consciousness is as old as the appearance of life and concerns to various degrees all living beings.
Memory
The simplest animals yet devoid of neurons, already possess some form of memory.
Without a complex nervous system, plants nevertheless have short-, medium- and long-term memory.
Human brain
Each brain is unique, with variations between men and women, right and left or Western and Eastern.
Building the brain is a complex 25-year process. This is a permanent reconfiguration of the brain connections, renewed regularly.
Besides the flow of biochemical messengers, the brain is also crossed by electromagnetic waves.
In man, the perceptive consciousness appears before birth, that of life at 4 years and that of death before the 9th year.
The awareness of one’s own existence is a prerequisite for autobiographical memories.
The attention, emotions and sensations are the driving forces behind the formation of remembrance.
Before birth, the child memorized certain experiences and at one year, his long-term memory is operational.
The progressive hippocampus maturation explains the
98
childhood amnesia observed in early childhood.
During the sleep, neural patterns are transferred from the hippocampus to the cortex, consolidating memories.
The brain functioning and the consciousness emergence would also depend on the state superimposition and entanglement.
Some neuronal particles behave at body temperature as
quantum objects.
Thus the existence in the brain of quantum activities,
underlying biological processes, is gradually emerging.
Individuality
The development of the personality accelerates during the adolescence by the appropriation of the sense of identity.
This plural process depends on the birth, the genetic material and the environment, leading to a complex personality.
The social dimension of identity translates into a sense of belonging to different groups to different degrees.
Some individuals suffer from dissociative identity disorders displaying several personalities, taking turns.
The symptom of depersonalization and of derealization recall the personality dissociation.
Communication
Information has a full physical status and therefore specific fundamental characteristics.
To communicate, you must speak the same language but also use the same codes.
Every communication has two aspects: the content and the relationship, the second giving meaning to the communication.
The communication within a community contributes to its
socio-cultural development.
99
The telepathy can be described as the transmission of thought from one person to another without communication through known sensory pathways.
The human thought influences the behaviour of in vitro cells, animals, plants and even objects.
Emotional sharing
Our emotional reactions take into account the context, the relationship, the social norms, involving elaborate cognitive mechanisms.
Emotional contagion is the emotions transfer from one person to another, a kind of wave that can spread within a group.
The emotions intensity of the transmitter, the attention and the importance accorded by the receiver are preponderant.
The use of RNG has made possible to highlight the action of thought at the individual, local and even global level.
Their networking highlighting the presence of a common
consciousness acting locally and globally.
Likely due to collective emotions emitted during major events.
Complex systems
The analog transmission transfers information continuously via a carrier wave.
The chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, sensitive to initial conditions and whose behaviour is unpredictable.
A complex system consists of many entities whose integration leads to the appearance of a global behaviour and of emerging properties.
It is defined by self-organization, bottom-up functioning, resistance to local disturbances, feedback loops and several spatio-temporal scales.
100
The complex thinking is evolutionary and is based on the articulate opposites and on the self-organization, two concepts of the complex systems theory.
Before birth
We are born with certain knowledge, skills or characteristics that do not depend on our genetic material or environment.
Children between 2 and 4 years remember events or lives prior to their birth and stop talking about them after their 7th year.
The intuition can be defined as the immediate perception of the truth or the ability to predict
It would be developed in the consciousness according to
unconscious empirical methods, thus forming a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious in part collective.
The collective unconscious representing the human psychic memory, it would include the archetypes (universal models) and promote the synchronicity of certain events.
After death
Millions of brain-dead people see their consciousness increased as they enter another dimension, described as a place of love, knowledge and wisdom.
SDE are reminiscent of NDE and occur when loved ones or
caregivers, fully aware, have the feeling of escorting the spirit of the deceased into another reality.
The assisting persons may attend the deceased life review and once again the impression of ultra-reality is evoked.
Healthy people suddenly feel the presence of a deceased loved one and a non verbal dialogue could be established.
13.2 Interpretations
How to interpret these data, what do they teach us?
Two aspects of one phenomenon
101
The Universe born from a tiny point of extreme density is expanding and contains hundreds of billions of galaxies.
On the other hand, galaxies have in their center a black hole of immense density absorbing all surrounding matter.
Leading the astrophysicist S.Hawking to say that the Big Bang has generated multiple universes connected by black holes.
Auto formation and development
The evolution of the cosmos as that of living beings could reside in the second principle of thermodynamics, describing the direction in which natural processes take place.
The matter evolution is explained by the transition from microscopic states with low entropy to complex systems with higher one.
Thus,the origin and development of a probabilistic universe tends towards equilibrum and this without any any external intervention.
Cosmic and quantum dust
The cosmos has a great homogeneity, the matter being energy and vice versa, it is mainly made of vacuum.
Only four quantum particles are stable, leading to a hundred elements, the essential building blocks of the entire universe.
One of them literally bombards us: every second, 60 billion neutrinos pass through every square inch of our skin.
These fundamental particles are exceptional, being both wave and corpuscle, superimposing different states and even
separated, continuing to behave as a whole.
Tiny variations of light, temperature, magnetic field collapse their superposition, behaving then like any material objects.
Mind universality
In all organisms, the internal communication mode is based on 102
the exchange of chemical messengers coded by the same genes.
The simplest animals yet devoid of neurons, already possess some form of memory.
The environment perception exists in all animals,
The self-consciousness appears with the central brain and that of death with the cortex in mammals.
Plants perceive the time flow, the existence of others and the approach of death and benefit from a short, medium and long-term memory.
They can sink into unconsciousness and synthesize their own analgesics.
Thus, the spirit is present since the life emergence and concerns in varying degrees all living beings.
A sophisticate and quantum organ
The human brain is the most known advanced organ, it is based on the progressive development of a neural network in
permanent reconfiguration.
Besides the flow of biochemical messengers, the brain is also crossed by electromagnetic waves.
The existence in the brain of quantum activities, underlying biological processes, opens up new perspectives as to its functioning.
The emergence of the consciousness and of the memory could thus rest on the states superimposition and on the quantum entanglement.
A complex and fragile process
Each one is unique and yet shares with others his sameness, it is a balance between universality and uniqueness.
The development of identity depends on the genetics and the environment, resulting in a complex personality.
103
Sensitive to multiple factors, it can lead to identity dissociative disorders, the individual successively displaying distinct personalities.
A full physical status
The information has its own physical status and therefore specific fundamental characteristics.
The analog transmission transfers information continuously via a carrier wave.
So this is a physical process in its own right.
Beyond words and codes
The telepathy and the emotional sharing allow the exchange of information through unknown channels of communication.
- The telepathy is the transmission of thoughts between
two people outside the classical sensory pathways.
- The emotional contagion illustrates the transfer of
emotions, a kind of wave spreading within a group.
They allow the emergence of a global consciousness following the perception of common emotions during major events.
The whole is greater than its parts
A complex system consists of many entities whose integration produces the appearance of a global behaviour and new
properties.
It is mainly based on bottom-up functioning, self-organization, feedback loops and spatio-temporal asymmetries.
Temporary access to previous events
Children aged between 2 and 4 years remember events prior to their birth even though their memory is under construction.
Even more surprising, once their memory is fully active, they lose access to their prenatal knowledge.
104
Could it be a privileged access to the human psychic memory, commonly called the collective unconscious.
Much broader
Yet the brain (put) at a standstill, millions of people have their consciousness increased, speaking of another dimension where time and space are abolished.
Fully aware people may escort the dying person’s mind to another reality and others may suddenly feel the presence of a deceased loved one.
13.3 Conclusion
In «The Mind This Enigma», we describe the mind as a
network of quantum particles outside our space-time.
The brain monitoring the daily management and interacting with the consciousness, the unconsciousness and the memory partially delocalized.
In this new knowledge review focused on the consciousness, the memory and the communication, we do not see elements in disagreement with this model, quite the contrary.
105
Chapiter 14: Discussion
«The reason consists to analyze the things and to draw up them.»
Epictète
What basic information can help us to build a broader vision of the mind?
What are the clues supporting the existence of a pre-birth and an afterlife?
What happens to our individualities, our personal spirits when we die?
14.1 Basic elements
Void and infinite
Infinite and multidimensional, the universe is made of vacum and energy, its formation and expansion resulting from the search for a thermodynamic balance.
Space-time free
In the end, the material consists of four quantum particles with exceptional properties.
Both wave and corpuscle, superimposing different states and separated, continuing to behave as a whole.
As if at their level time and space were abolished.
A fragile superposition
Tiny variations of light, temperature or magnetic field, cause their superposition to collapse, the particles behaving then like any other material object.
Carrier wave
The waves allow the continuous transmission of information.
Permanent exposure
106
We are literally bombarded continuously by billions of quantum particles.
Mind universality
If the mind is assimilated with the consciousness and the memory, we must admit that it is neither the prerogative of the man nor of the vertebrates.
Of course the mind becomes more complex with the evolution of species to reach its peak in the man with his amazing brain.
Mind manifestation
The mind manifests itself above all through the emotion, the thought, the memory, the intuition and the dream.
Brain plasticity
The brain is undergoing permanent reconfiguration, both
through the renewal of synapses and certain neurons.
Continuous flow
The brain is continuously crossed by a flow of
neurotransmitters and electromagnetic waves.
From awakening to unconsciousness
The more intense the relaxation, the lower the frequency of the brain waves and the more the perception of oneself and the environment fades.
Going from total control in the waking phase to
unconsciousness during sleep, through the different states of consciousness.
Partially collective
The unconscious is divided into a personal part, resulting from our own experiences and a collective one, acting as the human psychic memory.
This common memory would be at the synchronicity origin
107
stimulating the telepathy, the intuition and the premonitory dream.
Power of thought and emotion
Human thought allows a form of communication outside the classical sensory pathways.
It also affects the behaviour of animals, plants and objects.
Emotional contagion connects individual consciences into a global, non-local consciousness.
Complex and quantum
The brain can be assimilated to a complex system and would have a quantum component underlying the neurons.
Emergence of a global behaviour
The integration of the many entities of a complex system causes the appearance of a global behaviour.
It is based on self-regulation, feedback loops and spatio-temporal asymmetries.
Beyond biology
Some consciousness manifestations occur in the brain
physiologically deactivated if not clinically dead.
The skull volume is insufficient to house all the memories and knowledges accumulated in the lifetime.
Prenatal memory
The progressive maturation of the hippocampus explains the childhood amnesia observed in the early childhood.
Yet children between the ages of 2 and 4 years remember
events or lives prior to their birth.
At the age of 7 year when memory is fully operational they stop talking about it.
Suggesting that those memories did not belong to them.
108
People with a brain (put ) at standstill experience an increased consciousness, having the feeling of entering a hyper-reality.
Others healthy and conscious, witnessing the death of a loved one have the impression of escorting him to the doors of another dimension.
An ambiguous concept
Each one is unique and yet he shares with others its sameness, it is a balance between the universality and the unicity.
So each brain is unique with its own identity.
Some people suffer from dissociative identity disorders, others from depersonalization or derealization.
14.2 Broader Vision
Can we proceed a step further?
- The disconcerting properties of the quantum particles.
- Leading to the abolition of the space and the time at
their level.
- The likely existence in the brain of an underlying
quantum activity that of neurons.
- The physical limitations of our skull.
- The access to a boosted consciousness the brain at
standstill or even clinically dead.
- The accompaniment of dying persons on the threshold
of another reality by perfectly conscious persons.
- The emotional sharing during major local or global
events.
- The emergence of the consciousness and the memory
from the very first organisms.
109
- The plant sensitivity to anesthetics, diving them into a form of unconsciousness.
- The influence of the human thought on the behaviour
of others, animals and plants.
Support the thesis of a partial delocalization of the individual spirit of living beings organized into a global structure.
14.3 Construction
How the global spirit was built...
In order to achieve thermodynamic equilibrium, quantum
particles emitted during the Big Bang were structured step by step into macroscopic objects.
Leading initially to galaxies, stars and planets and later on to living beings.
Similarly, the mind could be seen as a complex system issued from cosmic particles.
Their structuring causes the emergence of a global behaviour and new properties, including self-organization.
And the individual mind?
Biology
The brain construction is a complex process that begins at the very beginning of pregnancy and spans 25 years.
It is based on the neurogenesis, the synaptic bonds and the specialization of the brain areas.
The neurogenesis occurs mainly during gestation, except in the hippocampus where it persists even in adults.
This is a permanent reconfiguration of the neural network through the renewal of their synapses.
Mind
110
The brain whose working space is limited manages the body, acting as an interface to the delocalized part of consciousness, unconsciousness and memory.
Underlying neuronal activity, a quantum component of the brain is more and more often evoked.
The quantum particles at the brain origin could come from the global mind.
What connection between them?
Information transfer
First, we are permanently bombarded by cosmic photons,
electrons and neutrinos.
Next, our brain emits electromagnetic waves possibly of
quantum origin.
Finally, the information with physical characteristics can be transmitted by a modified carrier wave.
The information exchange is therefore possible between
individuals and with a complex delocalised system.
Global consciousness
The information transfer via a carrier wave would explain the emotional contagion as the action of thought and telepathy between living beings, of the same species or not.
14.4 Development
Mind
The concept of a collective unconscious is quite similar to that of a global delocalized mind.
The non-local mind could be permanently nourished by the experiences and knowledges acquired from the simplest
organisms up to the modern man.
111
This concept recalls the collective unconscious of Jung, fed by our personal experiences since the dawn of humanity.
Pre-birth
At least three observations, quite surprising, illustrate the existence of a Pre-birth:
- The recognition of the phonemes.
- The knowledge of individual past lives.
- The innate part of the personality.
Phoneme
The perception of sounds appears in the 7th month of the pregnancy, familiarising the baby with his mother tongue before his birth.
But how can one explain that a newborn recognizes
temporarily the sounds of many other languages?
Previous life
We have no conscious memory of our early years, the memory being fully operational around the 7th year.
How can 4 years old children remember other previous lives and stop talking about them once 7 years aged?
Personality
The conditions to which the embryo is exposed during the gestation and the birth influence his future personality, regardless of his heredity.
Conclusion
All this happens as if during pregnancy, the embryo had access to the global spirit and therefore its content.
The environment also acts on its development, but in a broader context, a kind of universal epigenetics*.
112
The interactions with the global mind would be conditioned by the complexity level of the species as well as by the type of awakening at the present moment.
Double exchange
Throughout the life our experiences, knowledges and thoughts would feed the global mind.
In return, this one would modulate our emotions, reflections, memories and dreams.
Sophistication in the evolution course
From the early living beings, an information exchange would take place, its quality and effectiveness increasing with the evolution of the detection, analysis and communication tools.
Levels
There are about ten modified consciouness states, the more we let it go the more it fades away, ultimately leading to the unconsciousness.
To each state could correspond an access level to the global mind, releasing us gradually from the bodily constraints.
The awakening stage would be limited to the physical brain capacities, the following delocalized would see their access amplified as we approach the unconsciousness.
Entanglement, State superposition and Decoherence
The entanglement, the state superposition and the decoherence of the quantum particles could play critical roles.
The brain quantum activity would be minimal in the awakening phase following the decoherence of its particulate components.
During the unconsciousness stage, it would be maximized
thanks to their restored possibility to superpose and entangle.
113
To physical death
Once dead, the quantum particles, the ultimate components of our mind, are released from any body structure.
Free, they recover their fundamental properties such as non locality, states superimposition and entanglement.
As during sleep but this time permanently and independently of any physical constraint.
Survival of the spirit
- The encountering of deceased loved ones during NDE,
the patient sometimes ignoring their deaths.
- The feeling of escorting the dying person’s mind
during an SDE, often shared with other witnesses.
- The knowledge of facts prior to the birth relating to
other deceased persons.
Are some elements in favour of an after-life for the individual mind beyond the body physical death.
The simplest hypothesis being that it joins the global, delocated and timeless spirit.
14.5 Individuality
Common component
The man share 25% of his genes with all living beings, 35%
with the daffodil and 99.4% with the chimpanzee.
The common part is largely majority yet each brain is unique.
Individual spirit
Lifetime
Each mind corresponds to a person and is shaped by his
individual journey.
114
All of us regularly feeding the global spirit with our personal experiences.
After death
At the time of death, the brain quantum particles are released, free to recreate new links, they could join the universal mind.
Coming from a single quantum object, they would nevertheless keep a certain coherence and could temporarily be involved in new entanglements.
Conclusion
The global mind is enriched by our individual experiences and later by our ultimate brain components.
These quantum particles nevertheless remain partly entangled preserving a form of individuality to our individual minds.
14.6 Summary
Many arguments support the existence of a global, non-local, timeless spirit accessible to all living beings.
The emergence of the consciousness and the memory begins with the very first organisms, becoming more complex in the course of evolution.
The physically limited brain monitors the body and interacts with the partially delocalized consciousness and memory.
The global mind could correspond to a quantum complex
structure exhibiting a global behaviour and new emerging properties.
The quantum component of the brain, underlying the neurons, would stimulate the exchange of information between our
individual minds but also with the universal one.
The quantum particles possibly derived from the global mind being found in the brain at the neuron level.
115
The construction of the individual mind would be sensitive to its environment, as a kind of universal epigenetics.
The individual minds would be able to connect to the global one as soon as the early stages of the embryo development.
The brain quantum activity would be minimal in the awaking due to the decoherence of its particles and optimal during sleep thanks to their temporary release.
Throughout life our experiences, knowledges and thoughts would feed the global mind.
Stimulating in return our reflections, memories, intuitions, dreams and emotion sharings.
At our death, the brain quantum particles physically released could rejoin the universal mind.
Coming from a single object, they would keep a certain
coherence level, preserving in part our mind individuality.
116
Conclusion
«Those who seek the infinite have just to close their eyes!»
Milan Kundera
What could mean a partial delocation of the consciousness and the memory out our space-time.
Does it imply a communication between spirits?
The quantum component of the brain would allow the
exchange of information between the individual minds and with the universal one.
Fueled by all personal experiences, it would stimulate the reflexion, the dream and the emotional sharing.
Do a pre-birth and an after-death exist?
The individual mind construction is sensitive to its surrending, the embryo having an early access to the global mind.
The brain quantum particles could come from the universal mind and return to it at the physical death.
What about the human individuality?
Coming from a single quantum object, these particles would hold a certain coherence, preserving in part our individuality.
What could be the origin and the form of a global mind?
The non-local mind would correspond to a self-regulated
network of quantum particles, their association inducing the emergence of a global behaviour.
