Book excerpt: BOTH A REFLECTION AND A PRODUCT OF THE MIND This book does not offer a quantum mechanical 'explanation' of human consciousness. Rather, it proposes something far more radical: namely, that quantum mechanics, like any other model of human representation, is both a reflection and a product of the mind, and is fundamentally intuitive, describing a reality of which we are an integral component. ROBERT G. JAHN is Professor of Aerospace Sciences and Dean, Emeritus of Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, founder of the PEA R laboratory, and Chairman of ICRL. BRENDA J. DUNNE holds degrees in psychology and the humanities, was the director of the PEA R laboratory from its inception in 1979, and is currently President of ICRL.

Download or read book Molecular Memories written by Robert G. Jahn and Brenda J. Dunne and published by ICRL Press. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979, Bob Jahn and Brenda Dunne, two individuals with vastly different backgrounds, experiences, and styles, and who had little in common beyond a shared vision, joined forces to create the unique scholarly enterprise that became the PEAR laboratory at Princeton University’s Engineering School. Over the next 28 years their “molecular bond,” with its associated complementarity, provided the foundation for a remarkable personal friendship and creative professional partnership. Just as it is only in the interaction of the constituent “atoms” in a physical molecule that the characteristics of the unified system become apparent, this book attempts to capture the magic, and the humor, of that dynamic bond through an assortment of vignettes that illustrate their shared voyage of discovery.

Download or read book The Quantum Mind and Healing written by Arnold Mindell and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum Physics You Can Use There is a force underlying all action and circumstance in the universe and you have the ability to tap into this force, interact with it, and use it to heal yourself. This is science talking. Specifically, this is Dr. Arnold Mindell’s new model of medicine based on the mind-blowing findings of a host of quantum physicists--pioneers who are reconfiguring the landscape of our world and belief structure on an almost daily basis. Dr. Mindell is an internationally recognized psychotherapist whose ahead-of-the-curve work led him to found a new school of therapy called Process Oriented Psychology. A graduate of MIT and the Jungian Institute of Zurich, Dr. Mindell is an in-demand speaker at conferences worldwide as well as the author of sixteen previous books. Despite his many achievements, it is not a stretch to say that The Quantum Mind and Healing is quite probably Mindell’s most important and best work yet. In it, Mindell explains that you can use the discoveries of quantum physics to access your body’s own intelligence and self-healing abilities. Embracing both conventional and alternative medicine, he shows that to truly heal you need both medicine and your own natural wisdom. The Quantum Mind and Healing goes well beyond theory, giving you simple techniques, guided exercises, and precise explanations of vital concepts that will enable you to uncover, understand, and eliminate the root causes of even your chronic symptoms and illnesses. With applications beyond physical healing, The Quantum Mind and Healing can also help you overcome long-term emotional and behavioral patterns that may be keeping you from living your greatest potential.

This innovative volume presents the first contribution to the new discipline of International Political Psychology.

Download or read book Quantum Mind written by Arnold Mindell, PH.D. and published by Deep Democracy Exchange. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum Mind. The Edge Between Physics and Psychology This is the second edition with new preface from the author. In a single volume, Arnold Mindell brings together psychology, physics, math, myth, and shamanism – not only mapping the way for next-generation science but also applying this wisdom to personal growth, group dynamics, social and political processes, and environmental issues. Beginning with a discussion of cultural impacts on mathematics, he presents esoteric but plausible interpretations of imaginary numbers and the quantum wavefunction. In this context he discusses dreams, psychology, illness, shape-shifting (moving among realities), and the self-reflecting Universe – bringing in not only shamanism but also the Aboriginal, Greek, and Hindu myths and even sacred geometry from the Masonic orders and the Native Americans. The book is enriched by several psychological exercises that enable the reader to subjectively experience mathematics (counting, discounting, squaring, complex conjugating), physics (parallel worlds, time travel), and shamanism (shape-shifting).

Download or read book SYNTROPY written by Ulisse Di Corpo and published by ICRL Press. This book was released on 2015-01-23 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us are familiar with the concept of entropy, the dissipative process that indicates the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a closed physical system. Entropy is unidirectional and always proceeds forward in time, but it fails to account for many scientific paradoxes, such as life itself. Less well known is its complementary principle: syntropy, the subject of this book. Syntropy produces a continuous increase in complexity through the action of attractors that emanate from the future, and provides systems with their purpose and design. Rather than generating disorder via increasing differentiation, syntropy draws individuals and systems together by their common characteristics and goals. In a way, syntropy can be regarded as the life force that emanates from the unifying action of love.

Download or read book Conscious Mind in the Physical World written by E.J Squires and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world, from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However, we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else, forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles, Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology, which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain, while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy, philosophers interested in physics, and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

Download or read book Evidence for Psi written by Damien Broderick and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Psi" is the term used by researchers for a variety of demonstrable but elusive psychic phenomena. This collection of essays provides a detailed survey of the evidence for psi at the level of scientific examination. Key features of apparent psi phenomena are reviewed, including precognition and remote perception (knowledge of future or distant events that cannot be inferred from present information), presentiment (physiological responses to stimuli that have not yet occurred), the effects of human emotions on globally dispersed machines, the possible impact of local sidereal time on psi performance, and the familiar feeling of knowing who is calling on the phone. Special attention is given to those phenomena that make it difficult for scientists to get a clear understanding of psi. The body of psi research, while complex and frustrating, is shown to contain sufficiently compelling positive evidence to convince the rational open-minded observer that psi is real, and that one or more physical processes probably underlie observed psi phenomena.

Download or read book God Code written by Timothy P. Smith and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that inspired the major History Channel special God Code shows there is more to the Bible than meets the eye—messages from God hidden for ages, now revealed by modern computer technology. In God Code, antiquities expert Timothy P. Smith reveals his decades-long quest to understand the complex messages he discovered in an ancient Hebrew manuscript of the Bible. This painstaking search involves adventure and mystery, but instead of consulting ancient maps to find buried treasure, Smith relied on the data calculation power of modern technology. His quest shows how Scripture is more amazing than we ever dreamed—and that it may even reveal the future of generations living today. God Code reveals: • An encrypted code in Genesis, in the oldest known Hebrew text of the Old Testament, that predicted the birth and resurrection of Jesus. • Scientific evidence that this encrypted code was authored by the divine hand of God. • Signs that there are more encrypted codes in this same Hebrew text that will lead to additional messages from God to humanity. • Hidden clues that may lead to the location of long-missing sacred artifacts, such as the Ark of the Covenant. • Insights on why Smith was chosen to uncover this encrypted code. • A dire warning that God wants us to hear—and heed. In the companion History Channel series, the author travels across continents in search of artifacts missing since Bible times—clues to their location revealed in God Code. Previously published as The Chamberlain Key

Download or read book Quantum Brain Dynamics and Consciousness written by Mari Jibu and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to quantum brain dynamics is accessible to a broad interdisciplinary audience. The authors, a brain scientist and a theoretical physicist, present a new quantum framework for investigating advanced functions of the brain such as consciousness and memory. The book is the first to give a systematic account, founded in fundamental quantum physical principles, of how the brain functions as a unified system. It is based on the quantum field theory originated in the 1960s by the great theoretical physicist, Hiroomi Umezawa, to whom the book is dedicated. It poses an alternative to the dominant conceptions in the neuro- and cognitive sciences, which take neurons organized into networks as the basic constituents of the brain. Certain physical substrates in the brain are shown to support quantum field phenomena, and the resulting strange quantum properties are used to explain consciousness and memory. This change of perspective results in a radically new vision of how the brain functions.

Download or read book The Quantum Brain written by A. Stern and published by Newnes. This book was released on 1994-03-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While for the majority of physicists the problem of the deciphering of the brain code, the intelligence code, is a matter for future generations, the author boldly and forcefully disagrees. Breaking with the dogma of classical logic he develops in the form of the conversion postulate a concrete working hypothesis for the actual thought mechanism. The reader is invited on a fascinating mathematical journey to the very edges of modern scientific knowledge. From lepton and quark to mind, from cognition to a logic analogue of the Schrödinger equation, from Fibonacci numbers to logic quantum numbers, from imaginary logic to a quantum computer, from coding theory to atomic physics - the breadth and scope of this work is overwhelming. Combining quantum physics, fundamental logic and coding theory this unique work sets the stage for future physics and is bound to titillate and challenge the imagination of physicists, biophysicists and computer designers. Growing from the author's matrix operator formalization of logic, this work pursues a synthesis of physics and logic methods, leading to the development of the concept of infophysics. The experimental verification of the proposed quantum hypothesis of the brain is presently in preparation in cooperation with the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, UK, and, if proved positive, would have major theoretical implications. Even more significant should be the practical applications in such fields as molecular electronics and computer science, biophysics and neuroscience, medicine and education. The new possiblities that could be opened up by quantum level computing could be truly revolutionary. The book aims at researchers and engineers in technical sciences as well as in biophysics and biosciences in general. It should have great appeal for physicists, mathematicians, logicians and for philosophers with a mathematical bent.

Download or read book NEUROQUANTOLOGY QUANTUM PHYSICS IN BRAIN written by SULTAN TARLACI and published by SULTAN TARLACI. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although quantum mechanics has been around since the beginning of the 20th century, it is only in the last twenty or thirty years that it has begun to find practical applications in everyday life. And in the past twenty years in particular, those working on quantum mechanics and neuroscience have begun to take an interest in each other’s fields. First physicists took an interest in the nervous system, and later, not to be outdone, neuroscientists started to look at quantum physics. In addition, despite there not being a suitable platform, conferences on quantum physics strangely became the scene for discussions on the concepts of consciousness, conscious measurement, and the observer. At neuroscience conferences, discussion started as to whether quantum physics had a place in the communication between nerve cells, and whether the description by classical physics only was insufficient to explain some of the workings of the brain. And after 2000, academic meetings attended by both neuroscientists and quantum physicists started to be held under the title of Quantum Mind/Brain. The speakers at these conferences were not New Age writers or amateurs who ascribe everything to quantum physics; most of them were leading physicists and neuroscientists. What they did and what they wrote was not outside objective scientific practice. NeuroQuantology (2001) is first and foremost a new scientific discipline, just like neuroanatomy (1895), neurobiology (1910), neuroendocrinology, neurochemistry (1920-25), neuropharmacology (1950), neurophilosophy (1989), and neurotheology (1994). It was an approach that blended neuroscience and quantum physics to search with the help of quantum physics for answers to questions which neuroscience alone could not answer. Following the sowing of this first seed, the word NeuroQuantology was used for the first time in 2001, and I became the founder and father first of a journal and then of a potential new field of science. The name was as much a product of inspiration as it was of logic. Of course, there are plenty of clinical and theoretical terms beginning with neuro-, so I was surprised that this particular expression as NeuroQuantology had not been used previously. Up to that time, interdisciplinary articles on neuroscience and related quantum physics had been published in various pioneering physics and neuroscience journals under the heading of “quantum mind/brain”. These were generally articles trying to explain the relationship between measurement and observer problems in quantum physics. Moreover, occasionally, space was given in some cognitive science journals to articles discussing whether quantum physics would solve unanswered questions of free will, choice, decision-making and consciousness. International conferences were organised under the heading of “quantum mind”. But there was no academic journal which covered all such topics. Since 2003, neuroscience and quantum physics have been growing together by examining two main topics under the NeuroQuantology. One of these is the problem of measurement in quantum mechanics. The measurement problem has brought many other still unanswered questions in its train. In classical physics, there is only an observer, but quantum mechanics has become embroiled in unending discussion about whether this person is an observer, a participant in the measurement, or even a reporter of the result of the measurement. There is increasing discussion in many articles on whether consciousness operates on measurement, and if it does, to what extent. The Copenhagen interpretation, which has been around since the beginning of quantum mechanics, while suggesting solutions to multiple worlds and the theory of hidden variables, has not been part of a clear answer to the question of what role the observer plays. Eugene Wigner, John Carew Eccles, David Bohm, Stuart Hameroff, Roger Penrose, Ewan Harris Walker, Henry Stapp, Jack Sarfatti and many other distinguished people have produced mathematical equations or theoretical framework to show the role of consciousness in quantum mechanics, but so far there is no generally accepted approach. If a conscious observer really does have an effect on quantum measurements, many of our equations will have to be drastically changed. The other main topic of NeuroQuantology is quantum neurobiology: that is, the brain operates not only at a classical, macroscopic level, but also at a quantum, microscopic level. It covers the question of where this level begins and whether it has a bearing on our consciousness, mind, memory and decision-making processes. And, last subtopic is quantum biology. Quantum biology refers to applications of quantum mechanics to biological objects and problems. Usually, it is taken to refer to applications of the "non-trivial" quantum features such as superposition, nonlocality, entanglement and tunneling, as opposed to the "trivial" but ubiquitous quantum mechanical nature of chemical bonding, ionization, and other phenomena that are the basis of the fundamental biophysics and biochemistry of organisms. Many biological processes involve the conversion of energy into forms that are usable for chemical transformations and are quantum mechanical in nature. Such processes involve chemical reactions, light absorption, formation of excited electronic states, transfer of excitation energy, and the transfer of electrons and protons (hydrogen ions) in chemical processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The last decade has produced some significant work showing how quantum effects can occur in biological systems, with advances in three areas utilizing three of the key ideas from quantum physics having been particularly prominent in the media, although often with a certain amount of controversy: superposition in photosynthesis, entanglement in magnetoreception and quantum tunneling in smell perception. The last decade has also seen some significant advances in our understanding of the brain, from research into how quantum computation might create consciousness through coherence in microtubules, to calls for the emergence of a new field of quantum psychiatry/psychopathology to use our understanding of quantum effects in the brain to help tackle mental illness. Discussions focused on the manner in which quantum effects might not just be occurring in the healthy brain, but also creating pathological symptoms, including mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia. The first peoples to suggest that quantum mechanics could operate in biology, even though they were the godfathers of quantum mechanics (Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Herbert Fröhlich, Walter Heitler, and Max Delbrück), now after 100 years have passed have been squeezed into quantum mechanics and the physics and chemistry of solid, dead matter. Thus, the biological structures that are taught from primary school are made up of physical and chemical structures. Erwin Schrödinger was also one of the first scientists to suggest a study of quantum biology in his 1944 book What Is Life? Incomprehensibly, there has been resistance for a century to quantum biology. NeuroQuantology provides the motivation to break down this resistance and open further a new door to quantum neurobiology.

Download or read book Elemental Mind written by Nick Herbert and published by Plume Books. This book was released on 1993 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written in an extraordinary lucid style, Elemental Mind is a brilliant and audacious attempt to arrive at a solution to the mind/body problem." Until now the debate has been dominated by two major conjectures. One holds that the mind is the result of certain complex biological interactions; the other asserts that the mind is the "software" that controls the brain's computer-like "hardware." This book presents a third hypothesis - one that boldly casts aside traditional explanations about inner mental states. And it does so by drawing on sources as diverse as Vonnegut and Heisenberg, not to mention imagined encounters with an entrancing, highly intelligent robot named Claire. Founding his argument on the basics of quantum theory (randomness, thinglessness, and interconnectedness), Nick Herbert explores the intriguing hypothesis that, far from being a derivative phenomenon, mind is a fundamentals process in its own right, as widespread and deeply embedded in nature as light or electricity. Elegantly written and startlingly original, Elemental Mind offers a new approach to the riddle of consciousness that has challenged philosophers and scientists for centuries. Its implications are nothing short of revolutionary"--Back cover.
