The Light Of Consciousness

I am proposing a fascinating hypothesis, that photons, the fundamental particles of light, are probably the key to understanding how consciousness creates our perception of the material world. So I want to explore this intriguing possibility with you, examining the role of photons in visual perception and their potential connection to the generation of conscious experience. 

Photons are quantum fluctuations of light existing as both particles and waves. When these particles of light interact with the retina in our eyes. They trigger a cascade of electrochemical reactions. This process converts light energy into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain, in turn (this is just a hypothetical, you know, a theory right now that I'm sharing with you as a scientific mind), processes these electrical signals, interpreting them as visual information. Now we actually elaborate on them. Although I'm saying 'brain', it is the mind which is a modified form of consciousness. In any case, how does the electrical information transform into the rich, colorful, three dimensional world we perceive? This is where the role of consciousness becomes crucial. So let me share with you the idea of consciousness and the alchemy of perception. 

Consciousness. That enigmatic aspect of our existence, may act as a translator, converting raw sensory data into what philosophers call 'qualia', the subjective, conscious experiences of sensory perception. So in my view, consciousness takes the electrical signals derived from photon interactions and transmutes them into a vocabulary of sensations, images, feelings, and thoughts (SIFT). This process can be likened to a form of alchemy, where the base matter of electrical signals is transformed into the gold of conscious experience. The result of this all chemical process is the appearance of the material world as we know it, projected onto the screen of our consciousness. It's like this program is projected on the screen of your computer or handheld device. So this introduces the idea of the screen of consciousness. The notion that our perception of the material world is a projection on the screen of consciousness, in my view, is a profound one. It suggests that what we perceive as solid external reality might in fact be a construct of our consciousness built from the information carried by photons. So this perspective also aligns with certain interpretations of quantum mechanics, which propose that the act of observation, which is a conscious act, plays a crucial role in determining the nature of reality. If photons are indeed the carriers of the mode of consciousness that creates our perception of the material world, it would imply a deep, fundamental connection between light, consciousness and the nature of reality itself. So what are the implications and questions?

This hypothesis that I'm sharing with you, for the first time, by the way, is, that if our perceptions of the material world are a construct of consciousness, what is the true nature of reality beyond our perception? How might this understanding change our approach to studying consciousness and quantum physics? Could manipulating our interactions of photons alter our conscious experience of reality? While these questions remain largely in the realm of theoretical physics and philosophy, they open up exciting avenues for future research and contemplation.

In conclusion, my idea that photons well, actually, Herms Romijn's idea, that photons could be the carriers of a mode of consciousness that creates our perception of the material world. I feel this is compelling, but, let's see what the, so-called authorities have to say about it.

Share this with as many people as you can. My idea, I think, bridges the gap between the quantum world of photons and the subjective world of conscious experience, offering a unique perspective on the nature of reality. And as we continue to explore the frontiers of consciousness and quantum mechanics, this hypothesis that I offer may provide valuable insights into the fundamental nature of our existence and the world we inhabit. 

So, actually, to elaborate this a little further, I found some interesting data that some scientists suggest that consciousness could be expressed through biophotons in DNA and the brain, referring to it as the brain's optic communication network. Also researches at the University of Calgary developed a mathematical model proposing that axons in the brain could physically conduct light, potentially constituting a light communication system. This light communication system, light based communication system in the brain could potentially transport quantum information, allowing for quantum effects in the brain functioning and processing. So some physicists, like Eugene Wigner, have suggested that consciousness itself may be responsible for collapsing the quantum wavefunction, determining physical reality.

Okay, enough for today. Let me know what you think. But this brings a new twist on biblical and other religious sayings. God said, "Let there be light." and the universe came along. Okay. The light of consciousness. Photons carrying this information that gives us the appearance of the material world.

Everything We Don’t Know

  This is green. This is red. And this is blue. But how can you tell that what you’re seeing as blue is the exact same thing as what I see as blue? We’ve named the colors to give us a way to communicate and reference them, but in reality, there’s no way of knowing that what you see is the same as what another person sees. Even with the small steps and the giant leaps we’ve made as a species, there is still a lot to learn about earth, life, and the human condition. There’s still everything we don’t know. On the 26th of February 2015, one picture of a dress divided the internet. While some saw it as gold and white, others saw it as blue and black. Since then, there have been a number of repetitions of the same experiment either using the same sense, in this case, sight, or even other senses, like hearing in the famous 'yanny' or 'laurel' debate. These experiments remind us that there’s no way for us to tell that you and I sense the same things. What I call red might just ...

Death Is A Mystery

You’re impeccable in the role you’re playing on the ego/psychophysical plane, but you’re also present on another plane. And I think if I could get the essence of what I have figured out in the simplest early stages of it is that you and I should be living on two planes of consciousness simultaneously. Just two, I don’t ask for the whole shtick. Just two. And you say, “Which two?" And I’d say, “Any two.” Because the minute you can—whether you have lucid dreams, that’s one way of doing it. One way you admit you are in a different reality, and you go from reality to reality, because what that does is it changes the meaning of any single reality. I’ve just finished a book called 'Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing and Dying', because I’m 65 and the boomers are turning 50. It’s a great market. So what I saw in doing this book was that what aged in us was one of the planes of reality we exist on. That is our body’s age, and our mind’s age, and our thought process’s age. But t...

The Mystery Of Consciousness

Image
Consciousness has long perplexed scientists and philosophers alike. How do our brains, composed of billions of neurons, generate conscious experiences? This mystery is not merely academic; it has profound implications for our understanding of ourselves, other animals, and the potential for artificial intelligence to develop self-awareness. In recent years, researchers have made significant strides in this area, drawing on various disciplines to approach the question of consciousness from multiple angles. Contrary to popular belief, consciousness may be less about intelligence and more about our nature as living, breathing organisms. This perspective suggests that our conscious experiences are, in essence, controlled hallucinations that arise through our living bodies. In this view, consciousness and intelligence are distinct phenomena: one need not be highly intelligent to experience suffering, but being alive is a prerequisite. As our understanding of consciousness deepens, we may fin...
