The Mystery

When materialism claims that algorithmic physical reality is all that exists and that consciousness is epiphenomenal, it not only does humanity a bad service, but it is actually wrong! It is crucial that reliable and competent scientists raise their voices to counter such erroneous notions. Already, an increasing number of researchers are beginning to wonder about the many overlooked 'anomalies' that reveal deep cracks in what has seemed unassailable principles for so long. Through these anomalies leaks the light of a reality quite different from the one envisaged by materialist physics. In the model I propose, as I have already anticipated, consciousness, free will, and Life exist from the very beginning as constitutive properties of the holistic Whole (One) that also contains other properties that allowed the evolution of the inanimate universe. According to this model, the inanimate universe did not come first but derives from a deeper quantum reality inhabited by seities wi...

If we start from consciousness, free will, and creativity as irreducible properties of nature, the whole scientific conception of reality is overturned. In this new vision, the emotional and intuitive parts of life—ignored by materialism—return to play a central role. Aristotle said: 'To educate the mind without educating the heart means not educating at all.' We cannot let physicalism and reductionism define human nature and leave consciousness out from the description of the universe. The physicalist and reductionist premises are perfect for describing the mechanical and symbolic-informational aspects of reality, but they are inadequate to explain its semantic aspects. If we insist that these assumptions describe all of reality, we eliminate a priori what distinguishes us from our machines and we erase our consciousness, our freedom and, above all, our humanity from the face of the universe. If, on the other hand, we take our inner world seriously and begin to investigate it ...

It is becoming ever more evident that unconscious matter cannot produce consciousness, while conscious entities can produce phenomena that behave like unconscious matter. 'More' cannot come out of 'less', though the opposite is clearly possible. Crucially, when consciousness and free will are irreducible properties of nature, the evolution of the physical universe can no longer be the work of a 'blind watchmaker', but the result of cooperating and intelligent conscious entities that have always existed and are the ultimate cause of the universe's eternal becoming. In the book ' Irreducible ', there is a crucial distinction between conscious and unconscious knowledge that is generally neglected in the scientific literature since consciousness is considered epiphenomenal. This confusion is further facilitated by the lack of appropriate words in the English language to discriminate the two. In the Italian language there are two verbs, conoscere and sape...

Exploring ultraweak photon emissions as optical markers of brain activity Brains are highly metabolic organs that emit ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs), which predict oxidative stress, aging, and neurodegeneration. UPEs are triggered by neurotransmitters and biophysical stimuli, but they are also generated by cells at rest and can be passively recorded using modern photodetectors in dark environments. UPEs play a role in cell-to-cell communication, and neural cells might even have waveguiding properties that support optical channels. However, it remains uncertain whether passive light emissions can be used to infer brain states as electric and magnetic fields do for encephalography. The study presents evidence that brain UPEs differ from background light in spectral and entropic properties, respond dynamically to tasks and stimulation, and correlate moderately with brain rhythms. We discuss these findings in the context of other neuroimaging methods, the potential of new measurement p...
