CONSCIOUSNESS

We often tend to use the terms Consciousness or Conscience to refer to the knowledge that the human being has about himself, his existence, his relation to the environment, or his ability to discern between right and wrong. In this case, we will refer to the immaterial and immortal part of the Being, also called Soul or Spirit, which, precisely because it refers to this subjective part, is not possible to explain empirically verifiable.

This transfer of current in the neuron called Synapse, is the one that produces magnetic fields, which in turn produce thought patterns as we have seen in the previous chapters. This can be modified or perhaps complemented by the hypothesis of R. Penrose and his Quantum Superposition in microtubules.

Whether through subconscious quantum physics or pure reflection, we are increasingly approaching an understanding of the mind and the spirit of the Being. The different ways of naming the same stage do not help to clarify the picture; we must assume that there is no absolute truth, nor a single path. Perseverance in the search and in walking this path, sincerely, free of prejudice and dogma, helping the pilgrims we encounter along the way, should give us more light to guide us to our final destination.

The Absolute, the Primordial Consciousness or what is also called Supraconsciousness, call it whatever you like, for us it will never be knowable. We can observe its manifestation, what we could call materialization, based on the three dimensions of our universe or perhaps of many more parallel universes. Physiology, Neuroscience, and Science in general, and independently, have always expressed their opinion on how this consciousness manifests or resides. Today, with the new Quantum Physics, it seems we are getting a bit closer to a possible advance in this research. About a decade ago, both R. Penrose (Nobel Prize in Physics 2020) and S. Hameroff have been working on the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (*) theory. For those of us who are not experts in this field of Quantum Physics, let's first review some phenomena of traditional physics. Every passage of an electric current, whether produced by Electromagnetism, by a chemical reaction as in batteries or accumulators, or bioelectricity produced by sodium and potassium anions, produces a magnetic field.
