“Consciousness: The Origin and Ground of Physical  Reality” by FMBR guest Bruce D Curtis


Abstract

Creation and annihilation of particles in the physical cosmos points to a greater underlying  process – a la Bohm’s Super-implicate order to guide the quantum vacuum – which determines the  stability and coherence of the cosmos, a type of cosmic syntropy guiding the evolution of life at all  levels. Recent work in Advanced Relativity (AR) by Sorli et al. posits a multi-dimensional continuum  of Hilbert Spaces extending from infinite frequency as pure spirit or consciousness light, to lower  frequencies with visible light down to visible physical substance. This schema echoes Max Planck’s  early insight (1914), “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from  consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness.” 

Contemporary studies in biophysics also underscore this theme by showing how DNA acts as  an antenna, a transceiver receiving information which guides its behavior. Biophotons are the  information rich particles which convey the messages so critical to life unfoldment. This observable  reality has compelled some to say: “Life is communication.” Yet, communication in its truest sense  implicates consciousness as its origin. Thus, we are drawn to conclude that “Life is Consciousness.”  In this schema, we comprehend a multi-dimensional structure existing within a unified field of  consciousness that unfolds from pure Spirit (life) or Consciousness all the way down in vibration to  matter as the densest expression of life, exhibiting what may be seen in a sense as limited  consciousness. Indeed, matter can be understood as crystallized light. 

Such scientific thought resonates with ancient spiritual insights eastern and western. One  striking example is the Logos theology of ANE literature. Fundamentally, “what is seen has come to  be from what is unseen,” subtly comprehends how light becomes matter cascading through various energetic levels. It can encode bio-photons with information and enter neural nano-tubes to influence  consciousness and become matter as well. Here Logos is the Word of Life or unified field of  Consciousness, namely “the true Light which enlightens every person that comes into the world.” 

Again, “everything that becomes visible is light.” Einstein, Planck, Bohm, all said as much: everything  is light. Their thought coheres with the profound truth uttered in Doerr’s novel, “the most important  light is the light we cannot see.” This is the invisible communication of life. 

This presentation summarizes recent thought across a number of disciplines that all point to the  Universe – lit. “One Word” – as fractal and syntropic. The author discusses contours for a new  “Consciousness Physics” that deepens our understanding of the Mystery of Life and the cosmos as  unified mind field. This will include new dimensions of our own self-understanding as mysterious  expressions of that One Mind (Schroedinger) in which we all live and move and have our being.

Consciousness – The Great Mystery

"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative  from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything  that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates  consciousness." Max Planck, 22 December, 1914 

The unity of the cosmos presents itself, albeit in a hidden way. The sages of ancient  times have proclaimed it – from the Vedas to the scriptures of the New Testament; and  in virtually all wisdom traditions. Modern science has still been on a search to find the  Unified Field. Let it be the exploratory hypothesis of this presentation that the unified  field cannot be found in derivative fields, but only in the plenum of the all 

encompassing field that contains them all. And if Max Planck’s insight is true, then we  must find the unified field in consciousness and not in physical reality. 

Such a finding precludes us from a bottom-up cosmology, or even a top-down physical  cosmology, but it requires a “cosmology of consciousness.” Ancient near eastern  thinkers designated God as the Great Mystery, and some Egyptian and Greek gnostic  thinkers called God “the First Mystery.” I would submit that modern scientific  disciplines are pointing us to the same conclusion. Schrodinger’s conclusion that there  is exactly One Mind in the universe underscores this assessment.  

We can find causes for the origin of everything we see in the cosmos but as the  consciousness we cannot see, it is not an epiphenomenon.  

Life is consciousness, and thus must be at the root of all existence whether it be the  highest form of Man’s existence, or the flowers and trees, or even the rocks and the  seas. In the words of George Wald, Nobel prize winning biologist from Harvard: 

How is it that, with so many other apparent options, we are in a Universe  that possesses just that peculiar nexus of properties that breeds life? It  has occurred to me lately—I must confess with some shock at first to my  scientific sensibilities—that both questions might be brought into some  degree of congruence. This is with the assumption that mind, rather than  emerging as a late outgrowth in the evolution of life, has existed always,  as the matrix, the source and condition of physical reality—that the stuff  of which physical reality is composed is mind‐stuff. (Wald,  George “Life and Mind in the Universe,” Intl J. of Quantum Chemistry,  12/15 March 1984)

Are we beholding consonance between the experiences and contemplations of the ancients  and the inescapable conclusions of the best astrophysicists, biologists and quantum  physicists of the 20th century? It would appear that we are. 

If there is a unified field of “mind-stuff,” then all the mysteries of science and of spirit should  be accessible with ourselves as part of that mystery we are trying to understand. So, it would  be fitting to visit Max Planck again to close these introductory comments. 

“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because,  in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are  trying to solve.” 

Where is Science Going? – Max Planck

Thus, this conference is a fractal expression of our journey together as minds within the one  mind, as the proper unified and collective adventure in scientific and spiritual exploration,  each building upon the discoveries of the other and joining our hearts and minds in that one  Mystery. This presentation is dedicated to each and every individualized expression of that  First Mystery, and to the First Mystery itself. 

Toward a Cosmology of Consciousness

In addressing cosmology as our field of study, we really should agree upon what  is included in that cosmos as we understand it. By cosmos, or world/universe, we must  include everything that is, all existent material and immaterial things, inhabiting all  spaces, domains, dimensions and heavens – and of course, ourselves. We are  consciousness beings and a part of the world or cosmos we study. Only such a  comprehensive inclusion will yield satisfying results because just as every system in the  body is implicated in each and every event in the body, so every dimension is somehow  involved in all that goes on elsewhere in our omniverse. This is admittedly more  expansive than the standard meaning of cosmology as a particular discipline within the  sciences. But we need a more comprehensive use of the term to deal with all things  when we examine consciousness. 

While cosmology appears to lay within our grasp, with laws of celestial mechanics  revealing themselves in discovery, cosmogony is a bit more elusive given that other laws  may have obtained in the generation of the fields that comprise our universe.  Cosmogonic theories abounded in 20th century astrophysics until settling into a  consensus around a primordial big bang explosion. Microwave background radiation  was adduced as evidence of the “big bang,” the residual energy of the explosion. Yet,  other voices such as that of Andrei Linde have explored other notions.

Linde saw a number of trouble spots in standard cosmology and particle physics, for  which the big bang was insufficient to explain adequately. The flatness of the universe,  its size, and the very existence of the big bang itself, to name a few. Explaining the initial  singularity itself remains the most intractable problem of cosmology today. He found  possible resolution of these puzzles in the context of his theory of the self-reproducing  inflationary universe. Using scalar fields, Linde saw they could provide the mechanism  to engender rapid inflation. (Linde, 1994) 

Universes could proceed out of other universes like bubbles, or fruits on a tree,  reminiscent of certain kabbalistic models employed by Jewish mystics like Isaac Luria,  what has come to be known as ‘the tree of life.’ In this schema, I would suggest we might  accept the microwave background radiation as part of the residual ‘sea’ that came out  of a higher order universe. To that end the release of waters pictured in the  cosmological passage in that most ancient of Hebrew texts, Job chapter 38, supplies  good poetic imagery in which to imagine the fractal, self-reproducing inflationary  cosmos. Even shown is the compactification of matter out of the waters, much like  particle creation out of the vacuum. Here the visionary poetic and the scientific unite. 

David Bohm has made substantial commentary on this sea of energy: 

What is implied by this proposal is that what we call empty space contains  an immense amount of background energy, and that matter as we know  it is a small, ‘quantized’ wavelike excitation on top of the background,  rather like a tiny ripple on a vast sea . . . this vast sea of energy may play  a key part in the understanding of the cosmos as a whole.” (Bohm, p. 191) 

However, the last few decades of experimentation in particle physics and theoretical  investigation of multi-dimensional models of reality help us to envision a more  satisfying solution to the layers of reality, where interpenetration or communication  between layers is readily comprehensible. Moreover, we may also attain to a greater  unification of space, matter, and consciousness. 

The Bohmian schema of explicate order, implicate order, super-implicate order, super super-implicate order, etc. can be nuanced further by thinking of interpenetrating  levels that are not necessarily vertically oriented. Imagining instead fields that do not  interact by virtue of their gated spectra, we can account for invisible conscious spirits  that can move in our midst, pass through walls, and supersede our physics by a “higher”  consciousness physics. While Bohm posited a certain basic consciousness to the atom,  and we may well agree with him, there is a necessity to distinguish different levels of  consciousness and qualities of consciousness, such that self-consciousness is unique in  pertaining to a whole and integrated being, a holon within the fractal cosmos.

Indeed, Advanced Relativity (AR) as elucidated by Sorli et al. has formalized these  distinct consciousness levels in terms of Hilbert spaces from the very dense material  form to the super-rarified pure Spirit of infinite frequency. Such vibration, faster than  any movement, could account for the complete locality and non-locality of the  Universal Mind, aka God. As with the Bohm picture, there is no such thing as empty  space but a sea of energy, a super-fluid vacuum that exhibits particle creation and  annihilation to preserve the conservation of energy within an ever-expanding domain  of varied energy density. 

Such a complete integration of matter and consciousness is essential to maintain a view  of the unified cosmos, and to make sense of our notion of a cosmology of consciousness.  Light information and consciousness itself must be – if prior to substance – free to flow  through non-material channels. 

. . . the non-local action of the quantum potential to guide the occurring  of the processes of creation or annihilation in space is determined by the  frequency modes which appear in the wave of the quantum vacuum.  Consciousness is linked with the frequency modes. . . characterizing the  creation and destruction events of quanta in the 3D quantum vacuum …  These frequency modes are, in line of principle, infinite … This means, in  other words, that elementary particles we experience and live in a 3D  space are guided by waves which ultimately originate from higher  dimensional spaces … (Sorli, et al. pp. 11-12) 

In short, this supports the grander notion that everything in the cosmos, every single  event down to every microcosmic activity in our physical bodies, is occurring in and  influenced by the greater unified field of consciousness, the universal Mind. By this  conclusion we are impelled into the future of a new paradigm of consciousness and  physical reality. In this world the cosmic events in other dimensions are part and parcel  of everything that occurs in our 3D cosmos and must be considered for us to be  comprehensive in our sciences, including biology. 

Here we are delivered from Heisenberg’s uncertainty and God cannot be seen as  playing dice with the universe, Einstein’s great caveat. 

With the ‘downward’ causality and observing the fractality of the cosmos, we are not  surprised to apply our consciousness considerations to biophysics and the entire  biology of our world. In this world of life we readily see that bio-communication is the  foundation of all biological processes (Lednyiczky, et al.). Just like pilot waves  governing particle activity in physics, so em waves govern all in living organisms, from  the cellular signals down to the soliton waves of the genome (Gariaev).

Bio-photonic communication (Popp) is certainly one of the faster than neuronal  communication methods of the body. These varied quantum communication systems  make the body a biocomputer utilizing various bands in the em spectrum to precede  the action potential of all biological functions. Here we find consonance with the Vedic  tradition in the action of diverse transduction vehicles or koshas, consciousness bodies  that make the linkages between the supra-somatic layers of consciousness and the  quantum layer of consciousness. 

Acupuncture is another network of energy movement that directs not just energy for  the body, but information for creating order. Acupuncture meridians flow through the  body, but attempts to find a physical basis for the energetic flow has failed, leading to  the conclusion that something non-material serves as a wave guide. “In other words,  the jing luo may interpenetrate certain spaces within the body (Ma, et al., s003), it  operates on a different energetic spectrum, thus passing through a common space,  utilizing the molecular structure, but not like a tube or vessel, but rather like an  energetic wave moving through commonly bound clouds of electrons.” (Curtis, et al.) 

A stunning example of information binding to an unknown or partially known  substrate is the phenomenon of ‘phantom DNA’ discovered by Russian geneticist Pyotr  Gariaev and his team in 2005. Much like the persistence of acupuncture meridians in  the region of an amputated limb, or the phantom leaf effect, a sample of DNA will leave  its trace in space after being removed to another location. This residual imprint may  persist for hours. Such holographic manifestation also demonstrates the image-making  activity of DNA, where physical tissue and organ generation is preceded by image  construction. 

So, in addition to confirming the underlying energetic sea as a medium of  manifestation, it also exhibits the bio-photonic output of the genetic material. Luminous wave structures were created in the air by em wave exposure, and those wave  structures replicated the DNA structure. 

Do we entertain thus the possible existence of other bodies of consciousness? In  Hinduism, the rishis refer to the koshas, the many consciousness bodies, such as the  dharmakaya. In Judaeo-Christian tradition there is clear reference to the existence of  a spiritual body if there is a physical body. Question: as with phantom DNA does some  greater consciousness dimension of ourselves or other trace a blueprint within the  space inside of us? 

Is there a non-local template that generates our genetic blueprint, but also contains a  spiritual non-local template that engenders a spiritual body? Are we evolving in  consciousness to move into such a vehicle? These questions and more address the heart  of what ought to be included in a consciousness cosmology.

Physical consciousness studies have shown (Curtis, et al.) that information  transmission within the body can be affected by extra-sensory input from outside the  body. 

The ongoing mind-matter studies of Dr. K. Korotkov and his institute in St. Petersberg  gives us much evidence for the ongoing expansion of our collective work in  consciousness and physical reality. But I will not steal his thunder, since he will be  presenting that to you in just a few minutes. 

Additionally, the work of the Hippocampus Institute in Budapest, has harnessed  special sets of non-invasive em waves to help restore the adaptability and self regulation of the human organism. For several decades G Lednyiczky has studied both  exogenous and endogenous signal sets to optimize health recovery of all systems. Note:  this is most important because all biological systems in the human organism are  involved in every process. It is a remarkable holism. 

But the human organism is part of a larger holism and functions when environmental  signaling is appropriate to the human system. By introducing these signals found in  nature, we find certain physiological processes are strengthened as the exogenous  signals are part of the activation of those internal processes. The challenge of life in the  electronic age has forced humans to try to adapt to a plethora of alien em signals which  moves the mind-body complex out of homeostasis, or as we call it homeodynamics. By  introducing proper signals found in nature, we put the human into the right  environment for self-regulation. 

Working with Dr. Lednyiczky and utilizing his equipment since 2005, we have seen some dramatic shifts in individuals working with the Bioregulation technology (BRT).  Of exceptional note is the observation that healing effects are greatly amplified when the subject participates by directing their own consciousness into the interpenetrating  fields. This finding supports the experience of those who work with Qi Gong. 

Finally, extensive exploration in out of the body travel, both from eastern and western  spiritual traditions, seems to confirm the multi-body/multi-dimensional approach to  human being. For any here who may have experienced such dimensional journeys, it is  inescapable that full consciousness identity does not lose its continuity outside of the  body. Additionally, there are spiritual forms that appear and have some solidity, even  though of more subtle vibration. All of this is comprehensible within a multi dimensional consciousness universe. 

These promising new findings in science exhibit evidence of a holomovement, a  synthesis of entropy and negentropy within an overarching and unifying syntropy.

How all these multiplicities, so diverse, and variously complex, cohere together in an  overall unity that encompasses both entropy and syntropy now needs to be the task of  the scientific project. And with a unified field in consciousness, then we simply expect  to find consonance between spiritual traditions and scientific discovery. 

Here the theology of the Logos is so elegant in reminding us that “He holds all things  together by the power of His Word.” The Epistle to the Hebrews 1:3. It reminds us that  an overall unified field is not a new idea, but was embedded in the mind of ancients  who sought the truth of reality – and indeed experienced a taste of that reality. 

It is becoming apparent that science needs not only a multi-dimensional metaphysics as a framework, but also a multi-dimensional methodology, wherein the transduction  of higher information into our consciousness fields may be acknowledged, so that we  can practically appropriate the greater information coming to us. The incredible  insights from the spiritual traditions clearly promise that consciousness can share from  dimension to dimension. It is a multi-level collective reality. 

Consciousness Physics – A View to the Future

Talk of a new consciousness physics, which includes a physics of consciousness,  is a consequence of understanding our universe in an entirely new way – as requiring  this cosmology of consciousness. We have journeyed through some of the spiritual and  scientific foundations for this comprehensive and multi-dimensional view of our  cosmos. Now it remains for us to look at how those can shape, guide, and inform our  future physics. 

There is abundant investigation currently into what consciousness is from the  perspective of physics, biology, biophysics, etc. However, in grasping consciousness as  the sine qua non of all manifestation, all life, and all existence, it must remain the  elusive ground of reality that will ever retain its element of mystery. We are part and  parcel of that great mystery. 

Consciousness physics must encompass both mind-matter studies (Korotkov, et al.) as  well the non-material nature of mind. Such exploration pertains to how human mind  can receive light from other consciousness layers and can communicate and self regulate and can evolve into more expanded mind spaces. For example, the pineal  gland releases DMT, dimethyl tryptamine, between 10 pm and 3 am. This is a naturally  occurring psychedelic that gives us visions, out of the body experiences, and glimpses  of invisible consciousness realms. More study of what is revealed by and through these  experiences can uncover greater understanding of consciousness and physical reality.

As the ancients had seen that the universal mind, the total consciousness field, or Mind  of God, is that in which we live and move and have our being, then we are compelled to  understand our relations as drops in that ocean. How do we receive light nourishment  that grows us into more perfect expressions of our own spirit? How are we separate and  distinct and yet unified within the one Mind/Spirit? 

Already, since it is demonstrable that DNA can polarize light (Popp. Gariaev, et al.),  then science must push the frontiers of that beginning, by working in a framework of  multi-dimensional light fields. With the assertions of Sorli, et al. that higher  information can be imprinted into bio-photons to enter the microtubules of the brain,  further examination of that light transduction process and DNA as a possible multi 

dimensional transceiver, needs studied. Overall, this is all about the interpenetration  of distinct consciousness fields which may exchange information as light. 

We need to study using the full complement of tools at our disposal. It would be wise  to work with Goethe’s insight that the human instrument is the most sensitive instrument we have. With the precision coherence of bio-photonic activity that exceeds  the coherence of the best industrial laser, it is time we employ this bio-spiritual  instrument to a fuller extent. 

Future physics may delve into the fluidity of matter more deeply, examining possible  transformations via consciousness. As Hans-Peter Durr, once director of Max Planck  institute famously said, “There is no matter.” It would seem we are destined to study  and yes, to live, in purer and purer consciousness forms. 

Part of a future consciousness physics will be also to rely more intentionally upon  insights derived from higher consciousness sources. Many scientists have claimed  spiritual inspiration, and that needs to be integrated more intentionally and utilized in  a new, expanded scientific method.  

The fruits of our research will have tremendous benefits for medicine. Understanding  how consciousness may reprogram the body using DNA as the transceiver, restoring  tissues and processes, will make so-called incurable diseases a thing of the past. Seeing  each cell as a microcosm of the universe, will give us understanding of how  consciousness can reshape the self-regulating and adaptative features of the human  organism, as well as the restorative functions which require original coding from the  DNA blueprint. Restoration is a much less explored function as part of the negentropy  of the human organism. Healing can be a miracle, but there are still causes of that  miracle, which in the final analysis are governed by consciousness. To wit: “by your  faith you are healed.”

To understand the miracles Christ performed we need look to consciousness,  particularly when contemplating the non-local examples. With a universe that is  infinite consciousness in contact, and all the unequivocal indications of non-locality,  we need to revise our view of reality to see that back of every event, consciousness is at  work. Might we comprehend ostensibly inexplicable healing events as the interaction  of higher consciousness fields with our own human consciousness, and finally with the  denser consciousness forms of our biology? Thus, we may behold a ‘command  structure’ whereby with the proper consciousness, material reality can be ‘engineered’  by a greater consciousness. Is this not simply an analogous example of Gurwitsch’s  morphogenetic fields taken to the next level? 

Mapping consciousness requires distinction between pure consciousness Light, the  Light that enlightens every person who comes into the world, and many gradated  consciousness light levels down to particulate or photonic light, which may well be  termed semi-conscious, or even unconscious light. Perhaps we may see one as the Light  of Being and the other as the light of presence, derivative from our consciousness of  being. 

At the end of the day we are absolutely compelled to understand ourselves and our  world, which finally depends upon our consciousness. How we can be individual spirits  within One Great Spirit, and have individual minds that are a piece with the One,  universal Mind, is truly the spiritual and scientific beauty of our life together. That  Mystery of Many and One is becoming more accessible through our guided  consciousness evolution toward a consciousness physics that is a gift to enrich our self discovery and self-understanding. 

As our consciousness vehicles (Curtis, et al.) are evolved under the syntropic principle  of the universe and the Mind that moves it, we may find ourselves generating structures  and processes out of our minds and materializing those forms with wave factors beyond  our current formalisms. As the universe is made of mind-stuff, our future lies with  using supra-consciousness principles to form and create, sustain and renew. In that  aeonic setting we will find we have passed through the valley of the shadow of death,  and moved into the eternally renewing Life of Light.
