Muscles, connective tissues, and cell

membranes are composed mainly of
molecules packed closely together as liquid
crystals.
 99 % of the
molecules in the
body are water
molecules. Most of
these water
molecules are
located at
interfaces, i.e. at the
surfaces of other
molecules (average
of 10,000 waters
each) and surfaces
of cells.
Most of the helices in the body
are organized vertically:
 collagen
in
connective
tissue
 actin
and
myosin
in muscles
 These
helical actin,
myosin, and
collagen
molecules
order a massive
number of
spinning water
molecules.

1857-1942

Protons and electrons have a property known as spin. The situation can be
compared to the spinning top. In the absence of an external field, there will be a
certain spin axis. If an external field is applied, the spin axis will tilt and precess
– the spin axis of the particle will sweep out a conical surface. The frequency
causing the precession is known as the Larmor frequency, named after Sir
Joseph Larmor, an Irish physicist and mathematician.
When the energy
level in these liquid
crystals reaches a
certain point, the
molecules begin to
vibrate coherently,
leading to the
emission of coherent
light = RADIANCE.

• Information storage
• Energy storage
• Generate torsion or
spin waves
In a coherence domain, torsion waves
can propagate to nearby particles and
couple spins. Coherence occurs when
many such particles spin and precess
together, in phase with one another.
Energy and information input into any of the body’s systems can spread over
all systems; conversely energy and information from all systems can
concentrate into any single system. Energy coupling in living systems is
symmetrical, which is why we can have energy at will, whenever and
wherever required.

Consciousness

For many years, scientists were told

that it was not appropriate to study
consciousness.

Consciousness is a philosophical
problem, best left to philosophers.
 This attitude shifted when
one of the modern “thought
leaders,” Sir Francis Crick,
announced that
consciousness arises from
the operations of massively
interconnected neurons in
the brain, and is therefore
properly studied by
neuroscience.
 Crick’s Astonishing
Hypothesis (1994)
posits that "a person's
mental activities are
entirely due to the
behavior of nerve
cells, glial cells, and
the atoms, ions, and
molecules that make
them up and
influence them."
 The neuron doctrine:
the brain’s neurons and synapses
are components in a computer-like
switching circuit:

brain = mind = computer.

 In other words,
the brain is a soft computer.
When you figure out what all of the
circuits are doing, you will
understand consciousness.
 Stuart Hameroff reminded us
that neurons are cells:

…individual neurons are far more

complex than simple switches, with
enormous capacity for intracellular
information processing.
The neuron doctrine ignores the fact
that neurons are living cells.

~Stuart Hameroff 1999

A single-celled paramecium swims gracefully,
avoids predators, finds food, mates, and has
sex, all without a single synapse.

“Of nerve there is no trace. But the cell

framework, the cytoskeleton might serve.”
–Sir Charles Sherrington, 1951
If the cytoskeleton can be so useful in
protozoa, what might it be doing in the
highly organized cytoskeleton of
neurons? Are neurons stupid in
comparison with protozoa?
~Hameroff, 1999
 Ask anyone and they will tell you:
• Where is your mind?

• Where is your memory?

• Where is consciousness?

• Where do you think?

Crick’s “neuron doctrine” arose from research of Sir
John C. Eccles, who received the Nobel Prize in
1963 with Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley.
Eccles developed a model of
how the brain makes
decisions and processes and
integrates sensory
information and memories
to give rise to the conscious
moment. The process
involves interactions
between thousands of
millions of nerve cells in the
pyramidal cortex.
 Thirty years after receiving the
Nobel Prize, In 1993, Eccles
concluded that his famous model
was inadequate to account for
non-physical and transcendent
properties of mind: feelings,
thoughts, memories, intentions,
emotions. It would be necessary
to move to a smaller level of
scale, to the quantum properties,
to locate the ultimate connection
between mind and brain.
His audience
became rabid!
 In his new book,
Rupert Sheldrake
points out that
leading philosophers
have generally
agreed that memory
and consciousness
are not in the brain:
 Plotinus (205-270):
Memories reside in the soul.
 Bertrand Russell (1872-1970):
There is a kind of causation that connects
things across time.
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951):
Memory is not stored in the brain.
Psyche is not in
the head or the
brain.

~Karl Jung
 First published
1981

Rupert Sheldrake:
memory and morphology
depend on morphic resonance
− a resonance across time.
56
 Condemnation without
investigation
is the height of ignorance.

~Albert Einstein
If the idea is not at first absurd,
it does not stand a chance.

~Albert Einstein
 Rupert Sheldrake: New Science of Life

Morphogenetic fields give rise to all forms.

Matter acquires form when it resonates with a field.
The fields involved are not classical electromagnetic
fields.
Morphogenetic fields are derived from a body's own
past actions and from the structures and actions of
ancestors.
Fields act across space and time.
 These are
scalar waves.

 Niels Bohr Erwin Schrödinger
Nobel prize winners in physics, Neils Bohr and
Erwin Schrödinger, the founders of quantum
physics, were convinced that quantum processes
are at the interface between consciousness and
matter.
 For some years other leading
scholars have been developing an
alternative model of consciousness
and memory in which the
properties of space play a major
role.
 Consciousness is the evolving
intelligence of the universe.

Universal consciousness is the sum

total of all knowledge and
accumulated intelligence.

~Dr. John Veltheim

 Sheldrake’s analogy between memory
and your TV:

I can’t study your TV and determine what

programs you watched last night. They are
not there, and they have not left a trace.
The brain may be like a TV, i.e. a receiver
that tunes into the memory channel but
the show is not stored there.
 Modern scholars are looking
outside the body for the
mechanisms of consciousness:

• Philosophers
• Quantum physicists
• Cosmologists
• Cell biologists
• Astrophysicists

Pioneer 10.
On the 30th anniversary
of its launch, NASA sent a
message to Pioneer, which was
then 7.4 billion miles away.

A response was received

22 hours and six minutes later.

Pioneer's last, very weak signal

was received on 23 January 2003,

When I see light from a star 100 light years away,
not only do I know that the light was emitted 100
years ago but also a group of atoms in the star
knew that the light would enter my eye 100 years
later, before I even existed!

black holes can serve as “Nature’s hard-drives” holding copies of
the quantum holograms generated by each new moment of
human experience, as well as by each new event occurring to
non-living objects (Schild & Leiter 2010).

 CONCLUSIONS/HYPOTHESES:
• Normal physiology and health depend on
quantum coherence in and between systems.
• Quantum coherence in water couples living
systems to the entangled fabric of space - the
morphic field.
• Quantum coherence enables EZ water to be
extremely sensitive to external fields.
