Quantum Consciousness Primer

I’ve been asked “to what end” is the Great Reset, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Global Brain Project, the proliferation of bio-nanotech, AI, tokenization, smart-contracts and other tech? To this I answer, “the ultimate quest of the ruling class families’ is the obsessive desire to harness, control and transcend space, time and consciousness”. By accelerating the technology globally, the ruling class hope to turn all of life into a colossal techno-biological-quantum computer, solving the most complex problems in the universe.

Provided below is a primer on just one proposed concept of quantum consciousness. I’ll write more in later posts. I hope this primer helps people get a head-start.

1. What is Consciousness?

Consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you. Your thoughts, sensations, feelings, and experiences. It’s something we experience all the time, but it’s really hard to explain how it comes about, especially from the physical activity of the brain. So far, science has been able to explain how the brain works in terms of neurons (brain cells) communicating with each other, but not how that communication leads to the experience of being aware.

2. The Hard Problem of Consciousness

In philosophy, there’s something called the “hard problem” of consciousness, which asks: How can physical processes (like neurons firing in the brain) create something as mysterious as conscious experience? For example, how do electrical signals between brain cells turn into the feeling of pain, the color red, or the sound of music? So far, science hasn’t been able to explain this.

3. Quantum Mechanics in Simple Terms

Quantum mechanics is the science that deals with the tiniest parts of the universe, like atoms and the particles inside them (electrons, protons, etc.). Quantum mechanics is different from the physics of large objects (like how planets move), because in the quantum world, things behave very strangely. For example:

• Particles can exist in more than one place at the same time (this is called superposition).
• They can change depending on whether or not they are being observed (the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment).
• Particles can be connected across long distances in ways that don’t make sense in everyday life (called entanglement).

Instead of behaving like solid objects, quantum particles act more like waves of possibilities, meaning they describe what might happen, but you don’t know for sure until you measure them.

4. What Are Quantum Waves?

In quantum mechanics, particles aren’t seen as tiny solid balls, like marbles. Instead, they are described as waves of information, which we call quantum waves. These waves don’t have a definite shape or location, but rather describe all the possible things that could happen to a particle. These quantum waves aren’t physical like a water wave; they represent probabilities (like the chances of where an electron might be or what its energy might be).

5. The Idea of Information Waves

Here’s where it gets really interesting: it is suggested that quantum waves aren’t just physical—they could also hold information about the mental world, like consciousness. Quantum waves, in this view, are more like “waves of information” that could represent both physical properties (like a particle’s position) and mental properties (like awareness or thoughts). They don’t physically push things around like forces, but instead, they carry the information that helps reality form.

6. Emergent Properties and Consciousness

Now, in many scientific models, we think of consciousness as an emergent property, meaning it’s something that comes out of the very complex workings of our brain. The brain is made up of billions of neurons that connect and communicate in incredibly intricate ways. As they interact, it’s possible that their combined activity “creates” consciousness—kind of like how the interactions of all the birds in a flock create the pattern of them flying together, even though no one bird is controlling the group.

But here’s the problem: even though we can describe what the brain is doing, there’s no clear way to explain how the movement of neurons leads to the feeling of being conscious. That’s the “hard problem” of consciousness we talked about earlier.

7. The Quantum Approach to Consciousness

It is suggested that instead of thinking of consciousness as something that is created by the brain, we could think of it as something that the brain accesses. This is where quantum mechanics comes in. It’s proposed that consciousness might be part of the quantum waves that make up reality, and that the brain taps into these waves to generate our experiences.

Think of it this way: Instead of your brain producing consciousness, like a computer creating an image on a screen, it’s more like a TV picking up a signal. The signal (consciousness) is already out there, and the brain just tunes into it, much like a radio tunes into music that’s already being broadcast.

8. What Does Neutral Monism Mean?

There’s a philosophical idea called neutral monism, which says that both the physical world (matter) and the mental world (consciousness) come from the same fundamental source. Some researchers surmise that the source could be the quantum waves themselves. In other words, quantum waves are the “neutral” thing that gives rise to both the physical (like particles and forces) and the mental (like thoughts and awareness).

9. Consciousness as Part of Quantum Waves

It’s thought that quantum waves could have two parts:

• The real part, which could represent physical things like particles.
• The imaginary part (a mathematical concept, not imaginary as in fake), which could represent consciousness or awareness.

When these two parts interact, we get the physical world we see around us, and our inner world of thoughts and experiences. In this view, consciousness is already present in the quantum field, and our brain is just one of the many things in the universe that can interact with it.

10. How This Could Work in the Brain

Let’s connect this back to the brain. The brain is made up of neurons that communicate using electrical signals. Some suggest that when neurons in the brain fire in certain ways, they might be tapping into these quantum waves, specifically the parts of the waves that contain consciousness. This could explain how brain activity is linked to conscious experience.

So, instead of trying to explain how brain cells create consciousness out of nothing (which is the hard problem), this model says that brain activity allows consciousness to emerge from the quantum field, which already contains the potential for awareness.

11. Why Quantum Mechanics?

You might wonder, “Why bring quantum mechanics into this?” One reason is that quantum mechanics deals with the strange, hard-to-explain behavior of the tiniest things in the universe, which seems mysterious and non-physical—kind of like consciousness itself. Another reason is that quantum mechanics is already about information and probabilities, which makes it a natural candidate for explaining things that don’t fit neatly into the physical world as we normally understand it.

12. Challenges and Possibilities

There are still challenges with this idea. Scientists and philosophers debate whether quantum mechanics actually plays a role in the brain’s processes, especially since quantum effects are usually only important at very tiny scales (like inside atoms). The brain is much larger and operates in a warmer, more chaotic environment, which tends to destroy the delicate quantum effects. But some researchers are exploring whether the brain has special ways of maintaining quantum processes.

13. Consciousness as Quantum Information

In summary, one theory is that:

• The brain doesn’t create consciousness; it accesses it from quantum waves that are already present in the universe.
• Quantum waves contain both physical and mental aspects—real parts that correspond to the physical world, and imaginary parts that correspond to awareness or consciousness.
• The brain’s activity interacts with these quantum waves, bringing consciousness into our experience.

This approach tries to bridge the gap between the physical brain and the mysterious nature of consciousness by suggesting that they both come from a deeper layer of reality—quantum information.
