The Filter Theory Of Dark Matter

Today we discover the 'Filter Theory', also known as the 'Transmission or Reductive Filter Model' of consciousness. The 'Filter Theory' arises from philosophers and neuroscience, but also aligns with many of the spiritual and religious beliefs held around the world. This perspective seems to lend itself well as a supporting theory for where consciousness originates, not just how it is interpreted biologically. The core idea of the 'Filter Theory' is that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe, much like 'Dark Matter', and that it exists independently of the brain and body. In this view, the brain's primary function is to limit and channel this universal consciousness into a manageable, focused stream that is suitable for navigating the physical world. In everyday life, our brains filter out an immense amount of information to help us focus on what is necessary for our survival and well-being. This means that we perceive only a small fraction of the vast array of conscious experiences that are potentially available to us.

The 'Filter Theory' proposes that under certain circumstances, the brain's filtering mechanisms may be weakened or bypassed, allowing a larger influx of conscious experiences. Such circumstances could include dreaming while you sleep, altered states of consciousness induced by meditation, psychedelics, or near-death experiences. When the brain's filters are disrupted, people may experience a flood of previously inaccessible information, leading to experiences of heightened perception, mystical insights, and spiritual encounters.

The 'Filter Theory', like all other theories of consciousness, is a highly debated and speculative idea within the scientific community, though some fields of science have recognized it as a potentially valid theory. Neuroscientist Dr. Bernard Baars proposed that the brain acts as a 'global workspace' that selectively integrates and broadcasts information to our conscious awareness. Much of what we understand about how our brain itself might be involved in the process of the 'Filter Theory' is inspired from Dr. Baars' model of the 'Global Workspace'.

Quantum physicists and theorists have suggested that the 'Filter Theory' may be compatible with interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as the idea of a 'participatory universe'. The 'Participatory Universe Theory' of quantum mechanics suggests that the act of observation or measurement in quantum mechanics is not just a passive process of acquiring information about the physical world. Instead, it is an active and participatory process that shapes the nature of reality itself. Perhaps it is through this process that we are able to experience consciousness, and as we participate in this process, we consciously or unconsciously affect the reality we experience.

What do you think?

Is consciousness independent of our internal processes, a vast and complex dance of which we can see only a single pose at a time?

Dark Matter: A Multi-Sensory Experience

On Oct 31st, 2018, researchers in astrophysics at Imperial College London and human-computer interaction at the University of Sussex created an installation at London's Science Museum. Their goal: to get the public to experience dark matter... with all their senses.

The Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory

Image
Consider driving along a familiar road. You may be listening to the radio, thinking about some problem at work, but your brain is busy performing all the complex computations necessary to control your limb movements and maintain your car on the busy road, unconsciously. You spot a hazard sign 'Roadworks Major Congestion Ahead' and immediately your conscious mind takes control, to slow the car and perhaps try to find an alternative route home. What is it that is taking control in these situations? What we need to look for is something that is a product of the brains activity, that integrates information but which also has the power to influence that activity. Surprisingly, we have known for years that such an entity exists within our brain. The neurons in our brain transmit electrical signals along and between nerve fibers. It is always assumed that the electrons and neurotransmitters moving down these nerves are the movers and shakers of neuronal computation. However, all elect

Dreaming Is A DMT Experience

Image
Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT , is a potent psychedelic drug commonly found in nature. DMT is also produced by our brains and contribute to a wide variety of experiences. Scientists have also been intrigued by the possibility that DMT would be involved in, for example, the generation of psychedelic experiences or dreamlike states. This video will briefly examine the physiological function of endogenous DMT from a pharmacological perspective. You can get a chemical version of course, and the resulting trip or hallucination is very profound and many would say life changing. But there's a problem with reading loads of peoples stories about DMT and I think by reading and hearing about peoples stories, you're actually changing what might have happened to you if you'd never heard the stories. The same can be said of lucid dreaming, if you constantly hear things like 'when you lucid dream, you'll be met by the terrifying sleep paralysis demon' then you start to believe it

You Are The Universe

Image
The universe is a reflection of consciousness. Everything in your life, your reality and your experiences is like an audition for your attention just as celestial bodies orbit around the sun. Your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and sensations depend entirely on the energy you invest. That which you ignore ceases to exist in your experiential realm. The challenge arises from the unconsciousness with which we often navigate this process. Anything that transpires in your life need not become your experience if you choose not to lend it your attention. This may sound counterintuitive but it's a fact worth considering. When you refuse to invest your attention, events and circumstances lose their impact on your vibrational frequency. In the realm of the Law of Attraction, thoughts are often touted as creators of reality. However, thoughts in and of themselves are empty vessels, they simply vie for your attention. You hold the power to energize them by saying "yes" or dismiss t
