I like Bohm's Implicate order theory. One thing that is for sure.... consciousness requires electricity!

Great link! Thanks so much for posting...it's a very nice summary of things I'd seen elsewhere but not all together. I clipped a few very interesting bits...

In 1989 the British phychiatrist Ian Marshall showed similarities between the holistic properties of condensates and those of consciousness, and suggested that consciousness may arise from the excitation of such a Bose-Einstein condensate. In Marshall's hypothesis, the brain contains a Froelich-style condensate, and, whenever the condensate is excited by an electrical field, conscious experience occurs. The brain would maintain dynamical coherence thanks to an underlying quantum coherent state (due, precisely, to the properties of such a condensate).

Quote:
The American physicist Nick Herbert has been even more specific on the similarities between Quantum Theory and consciousness. Herbert thinks that consciousness is a pervasive process in nature. - Mind is as fundamental a component of the universe as elementary particles and forces.
- Mind can be detected by three features of quantum theory:
- randomness,
- thinglessness (objects acquire attributes only once they are observed) and
- interconnectedness (John Bell's discovery that once two particles have interacted they remain connected).
- Herbert thinks that these three features of inert matter can account for three basic features of mind:
- free will,
- essential ambiguity, and
- deep psychic connectedness.
- Scientists may be vastly underestimating the quantity of consciousness in the universe.

Perhaps consciousness is the shared source of life, thought, and spirit. So essentially we would all be connected to the same "battery" just we all have different "plugs". Giving individuality in a singularity, and making "space".

This is a very good vid, thanks!...will be fwding to some of my friends who insist quantum physics is just more regular old physics ("math with shortcuts") and that explorations of consciousness by physicists are not "real physics". LOL...
Peace & blessings,
