Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 >>Hi ac, >>It seems that " quantum brain " is associated with Lewis. I have no interest or belief in a quantum brain beyond the stories of it. >>That article in a very complicated way said all is quantum stuff and brains have quantum level receiving and giving ends (microtubules) so that that quanta can move back and forth between brains and environment in this way and this can account for consciousness and perception of qualia and other stuff. >>It is simply reducing everything to quanta and showing interaction between quanta, specifically between a quantum level brain and everything else. A nice story among many, many others. >>The books, journal issue and article given above are precisely what you seem to be interested in. Yes. That is very, very good, Lewis ! You have explained in a much better, far simpler, easier and logical way than what I read in some articles on the web. Thanks! >>Those stories of interest to me because they are about the production of altered states of consciousness via brain modules and manipulation of the brain's plasticity. Yes. These are interesting for sure. Even plausible ... >>Whether this true or not is of no importance to me. It is certainly important to me and many, many others. It also has potential to greatly impact science, psychology, society everything else. [ NNB ] ******************************* Lewis: The content is more for the story collection. What is interesting to me is the use of the stories to support completely opposing views and the distinctions people make when they speak of it. For example, those going for brain highs and altered states of consciousness like these stories, studies because it gives foundation, inspiration, and direction for attaining temporary or supposedly permanent states of altered consciousness and samahdis for whatever purpose they desire. It can become a confirmation ticket to let it all hang in the brain without reserve because the doctors say you can get if you can send or withhold sensation from a brain region, center or module. No faith required, don't wait for grace, just massage or do not massage the lobes. Others, may find this disheartening because all of their study and efforts towards the Absolute or God or their deification were really only aimed at massaging the brain or not massaging it in a way that gives unique altered conscious experiences, making them better persons or unique. Seekers, in this light, become merely self-centered brain stimulators or manipulators who were following the teachings of Masters and Messiahs and Prophets who did not know they were simply and successfully manipulated their brains (or their brains manipulating them) to achieve unique states and insights. And that their teachings and practices (prayer, meditation, infused contemplation, neti, neti, asceticism, faith, grace, etc.) amount to no more than scientifically " ignorant " and not very effective instructions on how to manipulate the brain to achieve unions, samahdis, satoris, oceanic feelings of oneness, out of body experiences, salvation, freedom from suffering and the whole kit and kaboodle of those states and experiences offered as lures and candy. So these studies may act as self-deprogramming materials for those who upon avidly reading them suddenly find a change in their thinking in light of the findings that their experiences with God and Absolutes has been really their " brain on those concepts and associated teaching and practices. " Instead of " this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs, " it is this is your brain, this is your brain on Self/God/Allah/No-Self/G_d/??? etc. Still others find these experiences as distractions and slef-seeking not worthy of any attention since what do these temporary and rarely permanent states and experiences have to do with living? Others will see it as a means to scoff at the " religious and spiritual freaks " who cannot recognize an orange as an orange but think it that it really is something else altogther or that all nondualist talk is simply heavily massaged imbalanced brains talking the talk of self-induced brain emissions of illusion, Now, Nothing ever happened, what is, all is dream, I AM, All is Pure Consciousness, Pure Awreness and other brain phantasms. Others make money and careers writing about it and some enjoy reading it and the temporary drama it creates. What's in your wallet, ac?

Lewis: Yes, there is great potential for all sorts of impacts. Let me ask you this ac and it would interesting to hear your thoughts and stories on the following series of questions: What would happen if neurotheology takes hold of the popular imagination and investors put up big money for designing, creating and selling devices like the Shakti for Windows 8 coil Neuromagnetic Signal Generator for everyday use (which will also be used for other purposes) and with this development the development of other sorts of neural stimulators to produce this and that brain phenomena? If all behavior, interior and exterior, whether true or not, is seen as brain emergent and genetically based, what types of psychological, medical and educational theories and philosophical, ethical, political systems of thoughts will be developed? What sort of civil society will emerge based on those theories that equate the interior life and notions of free will (true or false) to brain function, genes, and social conditioning? What sort of laws and regulations will emerge to cover the social problems created by the promotion and experience of neural stimulation of brain states and addictions to altered states? What effects, besides brain states can or will occur when stable and unstable brains are stimulated without corresponding or equal behavior modification? Who will profit from the enterprise of neural stimulation and brain control? Who will control the brain stimulating industry? Who will regulate and define acceptable and unacceptable brain states........ As in all human creations, we have the potential to go in all ways imaginable to use this information and science to develop all sorts of social and technological techniques and devices to enhance or otherwise alter living circumstances. Let me hear your stories story about this. Lewis Messenger Show us what our next emoticon should look like.

I don't see such instruments as any major threat, disturbance or something very bad. In fact, one thing, I am greatly wondering is how it would impact people: ---------if they knew that they receive and transmit quantum brain signals profusely even when they are not aware of it. That is, that they receive and transmit it in great quantity even when they are NOT ....speaking, hearing or talking. How would it impact their choice of environments, company, gathering, group, friends, atmosphere, settings ? Once they fully understand that the quantum brain signal traverse easily even without talking, ....then, perhaps, it would become much easier and simpler for them to understand: ---- why they automatically feel joyous around happy playing children. --- why they automatically feel peaceful relaxed, safe and quiet around some people. --- why they automatically feel loved around some people. ---- same goes for many places too ....such as ocean, deep woods, mountains, lake, garden, ...temple. Mental hospitals, battlegrounds and burial grounds. They would also understand, why they automatically feel agitated, tense or even ...angry, sad or fearful around certain People. ....and, that might Greatly impact their social choices. That might also mean that they will feel need to be more aware and conscious of what they think and talk inward when they are around their kids, spouse or other loved ones. Because, they will know that they are transmitting it and ...kids, spouse, friends are Automatically receiving it !

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Thank you ac. I understand. Knowing or not knowing, believing or not believing in the transference will make little difference or no difference in altering the manner in which the world is conceived. There is another dynamic that allows and disallows the dream hoped for.
