( !) &lt;br&gt;( Electroencephalography shows us the Maxwell’s electrical &lt;br&gt;activity of the brain)&lt;br&gt;#&lt;br&gt;To create 'awareness' having senses and thoughts is impossible.&lt;br&gt;The senses and thoughts increase the cerebral cortex neurons &lt;br&gt;impulses  ( Maxwell’s EM energy ) and doesn’t give the ability&lt;br&gt; ( of something ) to switch between conscious and unconscious.&lt;br&gt;#&lt;br&gt;Maxwell’s electrical activity of the brain shows the&lt;br&gt; ‘normal – not normal logical ‘ process in the brain.&lt;br&gt;To create 'awareness/ unconscious ' needs another &lt;br&gt;process – Quantum (!). 'Awareness' is Quantum process.&lt;br&gt;Very often it is only Quantum moment (!) but at this moment,&lt;br&gt;at this second  the structure of cerebral cortex neurons is changes&lt;br&gt; and it means that the thought and behaviour  of person changes too. &lt;br&gt;And then again the Maxwell’s electrical activity of the brain takes place.&lt;br&gt;#&lt;br&gt;" . . . the discovery is not the matter of logical thought, &lt;br&gt;even if the final product is connected with the logical form". &lt;br&gt;       / Einstein /&lt;br&gt;===========================.&lt;br&gt;P.S.&lt;br&gt;Is  an 'awareness/ unconscious ' equal to a ‘discovery / enlightenment ‘?&lt;br&gt;============.&lt;br&gt;Best wishes.&lt;br&gt;Israel Sadovnik  Socratus.&lt;br&gt;============================================.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">socratus</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:29:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Dalai Lama&amp;#8217;s Introduction to Buddhism</title><link>http://www.openculture.com/2009/06/_the_dalai_lamas_introduction_to_buddhism.html#comment-47372896</link><description>&lt;p&gt;What is the material basis of Quantum Consciousness ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will Physics explain Consciousness?&lt;br&gt;     ===.&lt;br&gt;Our brain works on dualistic basis:&lt;br&gt; usually consciousness (logically)  and rarely unconsciousness&lt;br&gt; ( at first it seems  illogically but at last it shows as very wise act) &lt;br&gt; In his last autobiographic article, Einstein wrote:&lt;br&gt; " . . . the discovery is not the matter of logical thought, &lt;br&gt;even if the final product is connected with the logical form". &lt;br&gt;In  book ‘ The Holographic Universe’  Michael Talbot&lt;br&gt; on  page 160 explained this situation in such way:	&lt;br&gt;‘ Contrary to what everyone knows it is so, it may not be&lt;br&gt; the brain that produce consciousness, but rather consciousness&lt;br&gt; that creates the appearance of the brain ’&lt;br&gt;# &lt;br&gt;In our terrestrial world the Information ( some basis of Consciousness)&lt;br&gt; can be transfer to you only by Electromagnetic waves. &lt;br&gt;Lorentz proved: there aren’t Electromagnetic waves without Electron.&lt;br&gt;Therefore I say, &lt;br&gt;only Electron can be the Quantum of Information/ Consciousness.&lt;br&gt;We don’t have any other theory of Information’s transfers.&lt;br&gt;#&lt;br&gt;We know the Electron is very important particle in our live.&lt;br&gt;It acts in Maxwell’s electrodynamics. &lt;br&gt;It acts in the atom.&lt;br&gt;But how Electron acts in cell and in Outer space we don’t know.&lt;br&gt;We need time to understand this fact.&lt;br&gt;And when we understand  the Vacuum and Electron &lt;br&gt;we will know the Ultimate Nature of Reality, it means we&lt;br&gt; will know the material basis of Quantum Consciousness too.&lt;br&gt;==========.&lt;br&gt;Planck and Einstein found the energy of electron: E=h*f.&lt;br&gt;Sommerfeld found the formula of electron : e^2=ah*c,&lt;br&gt; it means:  e= +ah*c  and  e= -ah*c.&lt;br&gt;Dirac found two more formulas of electron’s energy: &lt;br&gt; +E=Mc^2  and  -E=Mc^2.&lt;br&gt;Question.&lt;br&gt;Why does electron heed five ( 5 ) formulas?&lt;br&gt;====.&lt;br&gt;#&lt;br&gt;Now nobody knows what the Vacuum and Electron are.&lt;br&gt; 1&lt;br&gt;" The problem of the exact description of vacuum, in my opinion,  &lt;br&gt; is the basic problem now before physics. Really, if you can’t correctly &lt;br&gt;describe the vacuum, how it is possible to expect a correct description &lt;br&gt;of something more complex? "&lt;br&gt;       / Paul Dirac /&lt;br&gt;2&lt;br&gt; You know, it would be sufficient to really understand the electron. &lt;br&gt;      / Albert Einstein  /&lt;br&gt;3&lt;br&gt;Tell me what an electron is and I'll then tell you everything.&lt;br&gt;     / Somebody /&lt;br&gt;=====================.&lt;br&gt;More details.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"... indeed an understanding of psi phenomena and of &lt;br&gt;consciousness must provide the basis of an improved &lt;br&gt;understanding of quantum mechanics." &lt;br&gt;         /Evan Walker / &lt;br&gt;In my opinion it means that to answer to the question &lt;br&gt;‘ where the  consciousness come from?’ &lt;br&gt; we must understand not only the brain but electron too.&lt;br&gt;Once again.&lt;br&gt;Human brain works on two levels: &lt;br&gt;consciousness and subconsciousness. The neurons of brain&lt;br&gt;create these two levels. So, that it means consciousness and&lt;br&gt; subconsciousness  from physical point of view ( interaction &lt;br&gt;between billions and billions neurons ). It can only mean &lt;br&gt;that the state of neurons  in these two situations is different.&lt;br&gt;How can we understand these different states of neurons?&lt;br&gt;How does the brain generate consciousness?&lt;br&gt;We can understand this situation only on the quantum level, &lt;br&gt;only using Quantum theory. But there isn’t QT without &lt;br&gt;Quantum of Light and Electron. So, what is interaction between&lt;br&gt; Quantum of Light, Electron and brain ? &lt;br&gt;Therefore I say: we must understand not only the brain but electron too.&lt;br&gt;=================.&lt;br&gt;According to Pauli Exclusion Principle  &lt;br&gt;only one single electron can be in the atom.&lt;br&gt;If the atom contains more than one electron &lt;br&gt;(for example - two), this atom represents " Siamese twins".&lt;br&gt;Save us, the Great God, of having such atoms, such cells.&lt;br&gt;And therefore the human brain has only one Electron.&lt;br&gt;Each of us has an Electron, but we do not know it.&lt;br&gt;As the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ says:&lt;br&gt;Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. &lt;br&gt;They do not know My transcendental nature and&lt;br&gt; My supreme dominion over all that be.&lt;br&gt; / Chapter  9.
