which we find our self through comparison.

But there is another way of learning and knowledge gathering that is not so
easily explained since its source is unspecified.
We also have intuition, imagination, internal senses, gut feelings, and
other ways of knowing that are not so easily understood. Some of this
knowing may be due to genetic memories whose existence has been
demonstrated by science, but the mechanics of genetic memory is unknown
so it cannot explain all the other forms of knowing such as intuition. These
forms of knowledge and knowing follow a slightly different pathway. They
proceed from consciousness, to the neural nets where awareness of
consciousness, if not individual consciousness itself, first arises, then to
mind and whole brain cognition. So, it seems, and can be scientifically
verified, that individual neural nets play an extremely important role in
knowing, learning and the gathering of new knowledge as well as a bridge
between consciousness, mind and brain.
Given the special role of science in general and physics regarding our
need to understand and further the development and/or evolution of
consciousness, space and time (but not matter) together rise to the top of
the list of physical/mental concepts that can best be used to further develop
a science of consciousness. We normally sense that the external world
consists of a three-dimensional space due to the relative positons of three-
dimensional material objects and that the positions and the material objects
themselves change over time. This knowledge follows the normal pathways
of learning and building memories that expand consciousness, but the

In other words, we can also learn about and experience the three-
dimensional world through our four-dimensional connections to the world,
but only after we have directly experienced fur-dimensional reality and/or
otherwise learned a sufficient (scientific) amount about it. The ideal, of
course, is both.
We have historically and traditionally learned about our external habitat
and world through interactions with matter and changes in material
positions, but matter is restricted to three-dimensional relative space and
time affects all four dimensions of space differently. So, we normally think in
terms of three-dimensional material clock time, which is the time scale used
by mind. Time is three-dimensionally the same, moving forward at a
constant definable rate, but not necessarily the same over the fourth
direction of space, which explains the specious moment of time.
Individuals consciousness is a non-material four-dimensional extension of
our three-dimensional material bodies and brains and thus physical without
being material. So, consciousness can perceive and interpret time
(temporality) differently than the brain and mind, even though it
experiences the same three-dimensional constant forward rate of time.
Given these differences as well as the similarities, both paths of learning
and knowledge gathering through experience primarily through simple
three-dimensional material neural nets, where the inner and outer worlds
come into contact within our brains and minds.
Simple neural nets hold a special place in both sequences and our basic
neural net patterns are inherited, which means that we are born equipped
for learning, experiencing, general gathering of knowledge and the ability
11
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
to grow beyond our present limits and evolve to higher levels of mind and
consciousness as well as higher levels of science which are more accurate
and truer to nature. Developing and advancing science is as natural to
human culture and society as increasing our own individual levels of
consciousness through learning and experience and these two aspects of
mind and consciousness seem to go hand and hand through the advance of
time and history. As we learn more, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the
neural nets rewrite themselves to accommodate the new knowledge against
the context of older knowledge wired into the brain via the neural nets.
When that learning and experience is very profound, both quantitatively and
quantitatively, it can radically change a persons basic consciousness or
waking awareness of consciousness by rewriting or rewiring more of the
brains fundamental neural nets.
This rewiring occurs to some degree for all learning and experience, but
in the experiences of NDEs and spiritual enlightenment, the changes are so
profound that the experiencers personality and values, both are important
aspects of consciousness, can change radically due to the extensive and
complex rewiring. In both cases, NDEs and enlightenment, the individual
has experienced direct physical contact with the higher fourth dimension of
space and the experience is so intense and profound that the experiencer
has a waking or conscious memory of that contact, which rewires some of
the most fundamental neural nets to make that experience an important
part of the persons overall waking consciousness and context of self. On
the other hand, an experience such as war or disaster can cause the
opposite to happen which results in mental dissociative behavior such as
PTSD.
Moreover, since the basic neural nets can affect genetics, changes in
levels of consciousness can also act as a driving force in evolution. This
would amount to evolution from the top down, rather than the normal
scientifically accepted theory of evolution from the bottom up through
genetic mutation and genetic drift resulting from natural selection. There is
an ever-increasing amount of scientific evidence that the rate of human
evolution is increasing, which would seem to confirm these findings that
both science (physics) and human consciousness are following the same
path forward, into the future, at approximately the same rate of
development, hand in hand, toward the same end. Knowing (science) and
experiencing (enlightenment) the universe in its wholeness and this quest
are even reflected in our genetic heritage and its relationship with the
complexity of neural nets in the brain where our awareness of
consciousness, if not consciousness itself, arises.

heal mental and physical problems. The message for western science that
comes from all of this is that everyone needs to do anything and everything
that enhances and strengthens rewiring of the neural nets in the brain in a
positive manner where mind and consciousness have their strongest (but
not their only) activation possibilities.
For quite a long time, science believed that the human brain was only
being used at ten percent of its overall capacity, even at the best of times.
This belief was a myth. Our whole brain is active at any given time, but only
about ten to fifteen percent of the brain is in a state of whole brain
coherence which gives rise to thought and/or streams of thought at any
given time. The rest of the brain is just background noise (think of snow on
old fashioned television screens) from the electrical firing of neurons when
they communicate with each other and under normal sensory input from the
external three-dimensional world. A persons waking consciousness must be
brought up to a minimum level of whole brain cognition or coherence for a
person to become consciously aware of pure consciousness in a waking
state and this is very hard to do.
We come closest to doing so naturally when we see something in the real
world that makes us happy, such as a cute kitten playing. When this occurs,
a persons whole brain is in a state of higher coherence that resonates
positively with what the persons eyes observe in the external reality. This
resonance influences that part of the brain that creates mood chemicals to
release the chemicals that make the person happy. The same is true when
we sense the awe of something that we are watching or experiencing in
the external world. Love, compassion and empathy, which are also
properties of consciousness, also fall into this category, and when we sense
this resonance of whole brain coherence with the external world, we are
rewarded by a rush of biochemicals from the brain that make us feel good.
That is how we tell that we have just experienced the resonance. The same
is true for science done correctly in matching the reality of the natural
world and establishing resonance states with the external physical world.

worldviews are correct and thus tries to tell nature how to act and react
at specific points of reality instead of observing how nature acts and reacts
in its wholeness and developing a new theory. Science can convince itself it
is correct when it is not as correct as it thinks, as in the present situation
in physics dominated by the quantum field theory and the Standard Model
of point particles as well as that physics that has been mathematically
extrapolated by superstring and other purely mathematical theoreticians.
In the dominant paradigm of physics for the past half century, the
quantum study of point particles and quantum fields and the myth that it
has created has progressed to near religious fervor, but that fervor is based
on a false assumption that quantum point events occur in an unspecified
absolute three-dimensional point generated space with separate time. This
new view of an absolute space is completely ignored and denied by quantum
scientists, if it is even acknowledged by them to exist. Most do not even
suspect its existence, so great are their mental blinders and still believe
that the Standard Model, based solely on discrete events, is without any
geometric content.
Our minds perceive the world geometrically as either discrete points or
relative extensions and that is an illusion since space-time is one, not split
between points and extensions. Within this mind-created geometrical
context, mind cannot normally perceive consciousness directly although it is
aware of consciousness existence, because mind cannot imagine the
oneness of a universe where points and extensions are mere mental
illusions produced by the three-dimensional materiality of our brains. So,
while the normal three-dimensional world studied by science is based on the
extension/relative part of reality and our world, the internal world of
consciousness and self is based on point/absolute part of reality and our
world, and it is only through points (rather than the extended whole) that
we can directly experience the higher fourth dimension of space and how it
varies over time. It is only in three-dimensionally spatial points where
consciousness resides as a four-dimensional extension of our three-
dimensional material bodies.
Alternately, the traditional path to higher consciousness and
enlightenment is based completely on direct experience without any
scientific explanation of what that experience means. So, people who seek a
higher level of consciousness need to pay more attention to science, at least
now that science is advancing in a direction toward understanding
consciousness. If humanity is to evolve any further as a whole toward a
higher inherited level of consciousness, and even enlightenment, western
logical reductionist science and esoteric intuitive thought as displayed in

version of the learning and knowledge gathering split discussed above. This
dominance still lingers in one form or another even though its usefulness in
separating natural philosophy from religion is long past and thus presents a
problem and challenge for modern science and physics. This dualism has
influenced the direction taken by science for more than two thousand years
even though it was not well defined until the middle of the seventeenth
century by Ren Descartes. Descartes interpreted the split in the terms of
Mind and Matter. He associated Mind with knowledge gathered directly
from God and Matter as Gods creation which we are ordained to
experience and able to understand and manipulate by logic to form
explanatory theories. Explaining Matter in this manner allowed the
evolution of the science of mechanics and physics in general as later
expressed by Newtons physics in relative space, while God, mind,
consciousness, life, and anything considered non-mechanical or
metaphysical was relegated first to the arena of Cartesian Mind and then to
Newtonian absolute space, which incorporated many features of mind which
were valid for study within the realm of science.
This worldview later morphed into a prejudice against certain aspects of
natureanything dealing with the ultimate meaning of life, mind and
consciousness, spirituality, religion, God, the occult and paranormaland
some seemingly unnatural events in the external world. The concepts of life,
mind and consciousness were then taken out of the hands of scientists and
were not even considered valid subjects for western science to study until
the nineteenth century when biology and biochemistry first emerged as
legitimate sciences in their own rights. This prejudice solidified the split
between eastern philosophy and practices and western science, which
through hindsight might even seem to have been necessary for western
science to break its bonds with religion and progress, although it now acts
to slow and unnecessarily limit the progress of science. All scientists need
to look at these taboo elements of nature and our perceived world and
change their perspective, reevaluate their priorities and even the methods
of knowledge gathering in science based on the eastern reliance on
tradition, philosophy and science as related to mind and consciousness.
By the mid-nineteenth century, Newtonian science had become so
successful that the strictures of the duality, the veil between Mind and
Matter, began to weaken and even disappear. A few scientists and the
educated public began to take subjects within the Cartesian category of
Mind seriously as subjects for scientific scrutiny. This change of attitude
was reinforced by a public movement, a trend that the public deemed
scientific to some degree, to replace religion by modern spiritualism.
19
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
However, a backlash to this movement and the trend toward developing real
sciences of mind and consciousness soon developed.
Ernst Mach, a popular physicist and philosopher of science, argued that
we could not and would never directly know either mind or physical reality:
Science was based solely and without exception on our sensations of
external reality. [1] Many scientists thought as he did, which encouraged his
views to be institutionalized in the philosophical movement of empirical
positivism, which combined with logical positivism to successfully nullify
some of the advances in the scientific study of mind and consciousness as
well as modify and limit the changes wrought by the Second Scientific
Revolution after 1900. So, when John Watson published his fundamental
paper on behaviorism, a concept which is the psychological equivalent to
Machs physical sensations within the newly evolving science of mind, in
1913, [2] psychology turned toward behaviorism and dropped any direct
references to mind and consciousness. All of science then followed this
same limitation and returned to a new rendering of the Cartesian paradox.
It wasnt until the 1960s and 70s that science once again began to consider
the possibility that mind and consciousness could be treated and explained
scientifically and that change of attitude was due in large part to the
western exposure to eastern philosophical, esotericism and religions due to
geopolitical events and forces.
Eastern science (as it presents itself to the west mind) and philosophical
thought has historically taken a different approach and bases its science on
a more subjective perspective to knowing. Eastern philosophies interpret
consciousness and self in a more holistic manner that opens the concepts
to direct influences on physical reality and the universe in the broader
sense of those concepts. So, eastern science and natural philosophy is based
on traditional and more naturalistic perspectives of the external physical
world. Even the eastern interpretation of western science shows this
difference in the basic context of the physical world, i.e., the eastern view of
evolution is different from western modern Darwinism in many cases, so
eastern science also has a lot to learn from western science and vice versa,
especially as western science is about to undergo a new revolution. The
eastern perspective is predominantly top-down subjective and the western
perspective is bottom up reductionist, and their differences only reflect the
same duality that creates mind and consciousness and how they interpret
matter, energy, space and time, as well as interact with each other. In the
end, both approaches are necessary and need to supplement each other if
humanity is ever to break the present stranglehold on science and move on,
especially in physics.

At the exact same time a half world away, India and China were establishing
their own standards of philosophical thought and the beginnings of science.
The Vedic period of Indian history came and went as did Gautama (the
Buddha) and Mahavira, religious reformers. In China, Lao Tzu developed
Taoism and Confucius established philosophies that would eventually lead
China to a more practical science and esotericism that, together with India,
advanced science as a more subjective natural philosophy based on intuition
and spirituality as much as logic, minimizing the central role of western
style rational logic. What is considered metaphysical in western philosophy
and thus non-scientific is considered rational and scientific in eastern
philosophy and thus legitimately scientific, but reality exists somewhere
between and also beyond the two perspectives.
The western metaphysical approach has already moved, or perhaps has
been pushed by developments since the 1960s, onward to a more top-down
perspective of physical reality by its own shortcomings and the failure to
find proper theoretical solutions to some very pervasive physical
observations and phenomena. However, this approach has led to, or perhaps
uncovered would be a better word, new problems and challenges for
science. As far as western science is concerned, the reductionist physical
approach to consciousness is to seek and explain the neural correlates of
consciousness, but this raises the problem of whether consciousness is just
an epiphenomenonan accidental side product of the brains evolutionor
not, and some scientists simply do not like the implications of the not
choice.
Another implication is just as bad, if not worseIf consciousness is not
an epiphenomenon, then it could be a top-down product of some type of a
universal Consciousness. If so, then any form of bottom-up consciousness
that we can eventually understand in science completely disappears and we
are reduced to zombies that are slaves to that Consciousness with no free
will of our own. These are the two extremes that science needs to consider
consciousness is an epiphenomenon or we are slave-like zombies that
answer only to a higher Consciousnessyet our reality is somewhere
between these two extremes, although some philosophers and scientists still
debate one or the other of these extremes is our reality.
Within this context, incredible speculations about consciousness have
lately seemed to dominate the popular media as individual scientists and
scholars voice their own opinions of what a universal top-down
Consciousness might look like to a society that is desperately looking for
some verification of human spirituality or excuse to deny it (other than
drugs). The true question is whether these speculations can be developed
22
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
into hypotheses and even theoretical models that are at least falsifiable, if
not completely verifiable. Otherwise, do they have any scientific value at
all? And the answer to that is a resounding no because any so-called
theory of Consciousness would be beyond scientific verification by its very
nature and thus non-falsifiable. Luckily, both consciousness as an
epiphenomenon and Consciousness from above controlling our free will,
even in the weaker case that we are not consciously zombies, are
completely unacceptable to the clear majority of scientists and scholars
Thank God. (The retort Thank God is a joke, think about it!)
Individual consciousness is undoubtedly real, but beyond our ken at
present so we normally discuss it and characterize consciousness in semi-
scientific or scientific sounding (metaphysical) non-scientific terms and even
a metaphysical theory or two that cannot be verified, confirmed or even
ever tested (as in non-falsifiable), which brings us back to top-down points
of view. The very fact that the top-down possibility exists and is being
seriously discussed belies the fact and the possibility that consciousness is
an epiphenomenon, but what remains is the question of just how so many
things, too many to even seriously, that we could not otherwise know from
the bottom-up approach of our five senses do sometimes come to mind and
consciousness intuitively or by some other mysterious undefined means.
Some people even claim that Consciousness is the only reality so we
are not even zombies but just illusionary dreams, or perhaps one of the
other outlandish possibilities, all of which do no more than deny the
legitimacy of science in the name of advancing science: There is no such
thing as time, our experienced material reality is an illusion, reality might
be a computer program and we are merely its surrogates, information is the
true reality, our experiences are just a dream and our dreams are the true
reality, we are the experiment of some higher form of intelligence, pure
mathematics wiped clean of any reference to nature and the natural world
is the true reality. Do these proposals and pseudo-hypotheses represent real
science or are they a form of escapism for those unable to answer such a
tough question? There is no way to tell the difference because they are not,
nor can they ever be, falsifiable! In other words, they have no real scientific
value. At best, and this could be a stretch in some cases, they might, just
might, eventually have some esoteric value when we reach higher levels of
consciousness than we presently have. These proposals are clearly
premature given our present state of science, if not outright
counterproductive for muddying the waters of the present attempts to
scientifically model consciousness. Putting forward metaphysical models
and hypotheses in the name of science and calling them scientific could well
23
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
be undermining science as well as the very purpose of science and the time-
tested methods of science.
A person could almost conclude from these strange ideas that we are in
an era of scientific speculations rather than true scientific advance, which
would be true in most cases. This situation exists because such speculations
proliferate as part of the natural course of thought and mind that precedes
scientific revolutions and/or evolutionary leaps. In either or both cases, such
grasping at straws is a sign of the intellectual instability of the science
community fostered by the failures of the present quantum paradigm, which
almost no one seems to acknowledge, to find a valid unified field theory or
other unification model of physical reality. Meanwhile, in mainstream
materialistic physics (without consciousness) the Standard Model of the
quantum has failed miserably in its promise for a quick unification of
physics within one comprehensive paradigm and this portends a new
scientific revolution that is not based on the failed quantum, but an even
more fundamental concept is on the horizon. So, what is the answer? How
do we go about answering the tough questions about consciousness or
should we even try to answer the questions about consciousness in a serious
scientific manner? How do we combine these questions with the search for
a unified theory of physical reality? Real science needs to pay far less
attention to all this BS (Bad Science) and pay closer attention to what we do
know: Awareness of consciousness, if not consciousness itself, arises in the
simple neural net where memories are stored and recalled and recognition
occurs.
The notion of bottom-up consciousness as an accidental epiphenomenon
may be appealing to some strict materialists, but it gets science nowhere, or
perhaps the strictest reductionists are just zombies (indoctrinated followers
of past learning and knowledge) with no real consciousness and free will.
Even if we can choose between these possibilities, the question of whether
consciousness is physical or not, classical or quantum, still remains as well
as do they exist only in the brain or the whole body or somewhere else? So,
it seems that mind and/or consciousness alone is not fundamental enough to
solve the problem of physics and/or the physics of consciousness, at least
within the present state and worldview of classical and modern physics. But
it is equally true that if we ever hope to truly understand what our
experienced reality is, if we truly believe in the value of science, then we
must also understand what the consciousness that observes and interprets
that reality is, as well as how they interact to create our world and
worldview at any and all levels of reality.

existed, with some form of free will in that they were no longer subject to
or dependent upon nature and the will of the Gods.
Religion emerged to explain these new mental abstractions and the
human relationship with the external world, but during the seventh century
BCE a worldwide phenomenon occurred and abstract thought turned the
human/nature relationship toward philosophical abstraction instead of
religious belief in the west and abstract metaphysical thought (esotericism)
in the east. Natural philosophies started to develop and compete with
religion throughout the world, almost simultaneously, as if the human
species reached a new plateau (complexity) in its collective consciousness.
Similar ideas toward this same end sprang up throughout the civilized
world and over the next four to five-hundred years (marking the Zeroth
Scientific Revolution in the west), philosophical wrangling over these ideas
were settled with Greek culture and the west settling on logic over intuition
and the eastern Chinese and Indian cultures emphasizing tradition and
intuition over logic alone as their guides.
Out of this milieu of new ideas and philosophies emerged the ideas that
western philosophical understanding of nature depended on three things:
changes in space (location), time (duration) and matter, all of which
emerged as the fundamental elements upon which western science was
based over the next two and a half millennia. This Zeroth Scientific
Revolution paved the way for the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth
century during which Newton finally defined space, time, matter and their
relationship with enough precision for use in science. Two hundred years
later, Newtonian science had run its course regarding the philosophical
interpretations of space and time due to the advent of non-Euclidean
geometries and the possibility of hyperspaces, as well as the perceived
notions of the mind and consciousness that are perceiving and interpreting
space and time for science.
With the very dimensions of space as well as the nature of space under
question, even to the extent that our sensations and observations of space
were being doubted, a Second Scientific Revolution emerged. Newtonian
concepts of space and time were supposedly overthrown in favor of
relativity, which sought to connect space and time into a single geometric
picture as space-time and then reduced matter to curved space-time, and
the quantum theory, which began to question the relationship between
space and time at the smallest and most fundamental measurements of
them at discrete locations (spatial and temporal in the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle) where material interaction events occurred, i.e.,
events of change at the smallest level of reality, discrete geometric points.

as the collective effect of the four-dimensional virtual torques when the Big
Blowout ended cosmic inflation and created protons, electrons, neutrinos
and the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background). However, each and every
one of the 0-D point/twist Voids inherited a primal-awareness of its own
existence relative to the Void from which it emerged and the collective
effect of that primal-awareness when the Big Blowout occurred created a
semi-physical pre-consciousness potential field that corresponded point-for-
point with the single potential field from which matter, energy and our
common three-dimensional fields (gravity, electricity and magnetism)
emerged.
This semi-physical pre-consciousness field later influenced matter to
form ever more complex material systems until a new complexity with
special propertiesLife, or as it is now called, the biofieldemerged imbued
with rudimentary forms of mind and consciousness. The field then
influenced life to evolve ever more complex forms with ever more complex
minds and consciousnesses. The existence of the semi-physical pre-
consciousness potential field alone necessitates the development of a new
expanded version of physical evolution, as part of thermodynamics, [14] to
explain both the evolution of the material universe, the initial evolution of
life and the continuing evolution of life to higher and higher level
complexities.
One-hundred to two-hundred thousand years ago, the natural physical
evolution of the universe as a whole, as influenced by the pre-consciousness
field, resulted in the emergence of a special mind complexity that
distinguished Homo sapiens from earlier Hominid species. A similar, but
much lower level mind-complexity level, evolutionary event can explain the
Cambrian explosion that mysteriously occurred about two-hundred million
years ago. Since nature is not wasteful and the universe does not do things
without a reason or purpose, nature must have had a purpose when she
gave Hominids such a wonderful intellectual capacity that we would be able
to evolve our minds and consciousness levels to what they are today and
will be tomorrow. However, that wonderful intellectual capacity that we first
inherited all that time ago has now been filled with enough knowledge,
experience of our world and science that explains our world to warrant the
next major step in our evolution to continue fulfilling natures purpose on
this planet. Natures purpose for us and all living organisms seems to be to
evolve higher and higher levels of mind and consciousness, which can only
mean that we and other living sentient beings are the result of the universe
trying to internally realize its own self since it has no external points of
reference to realize its self without us. In other words, our consciousness
31
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
32
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
extended into the higher fourth dimension of space. Our living bodies are
thus internally consistent and self-sustaining collections of points along a
portion of that curved three-dimensional surface.
Life, the biofield or the life force, can only be interpreted scientifically
as the complex matter/energy (metric) pattern corresponding to any given
body or organism that is both characterized and ruled by the quantized
curvature of space-time. Mind is the complex electrical (three-dimensional
metric) potential pattern that corresponds to the organism or body/brain
and operates both bio-chemically and physically through stable recurring
electron and ion exchange systems. Mind is almost like an unbelievably
complex bio-electrical circuit (with no wires except for the neurons) that
extends throughout the living organism or body that is interpreted
physically as a single internally varying electric field complexity. And
consciousness is the multi-leveled complex magnetic (fourth dimension
point-by-point) vector potential pattern that corresponds to the electric
pattern, but it is higher order because it can build semi-permanent domains
(structured levels) that become permanent by reinforcing each others
existence when they have become complex enough to sustain life and mind.
Life, mind and consciousness are not the overall varying matter/energy,
electric or magnetic fields corresponding to the bodies, but rather the
extremely complex (emergent complexity) patterns of variation that give
them the special properties that distinguishes animate from inanimate
matter.
Since consciousness exists in the very three-dimensional point-fabric of
space-time occupied by a body, consciousness constitutes the four-
dimensional extension of three-dimensional body and brain. Consciousness
is therefore more stable than the other patterns and is not affected by them
as easily as they are affected by each other. It is as if we have two selfs,
one three-dimensional and a more stable and permanent four-dimensional
self, corresponding to our consciousness. Individual consciousness, our
four-dimensional self is directly connected to the universe in its wholeness
and is the source of intuition and other sources of knowledge that do not
come to us as normal sensations, normal learning and normal experiences
in our external three-dimensional material world. Consciousness acts
through the neural nets themselves to influence brain, mind and body.
The primary function of the neural nets, the smallest logical units in the
brain, is to store and retrieve memories as magnetic vector potential
variational patterns in the very points of space corresponding to the
brain/body. They also function to recognize new incoming patterns by a
process of pattern matching, and patch together all memory patterns to
33
Jim Beichler Based on a Council Grove presentation May 2017
give us the memory context for advanced thought and consciousness itself.
We only assume mind and consciousness exist in the brain alone because
the brain is the only organ in the body where the complex neural nets that
give us logical awareness of mind and consciousness can be found. Mind
and consciousness actually exist throughout the body, as does Life (the
biofield).
The new theory based on this geometric connection will, when applied
to consciousness in the context of its physical interpretation, explain a
whole host of phenomena that are known and or suspected, but have
previously fallen outside the domain of normal science, both classical and
modern. The survival of consciousness in the fourth dimension (with a
virtual three-dimensional mind) after death is strongly implied when three-
dimensional brain/body and mind die by this physical model. Enlightenment
and NDEs result from the direct contact of an individuals consciousness
with all points in the whole four-dimensional universe simultaneously that is
strong enough to rewire the brain to allow for waking awareness of the
experience.
In the meditation path to enlightenment, body and brain are both
quieted which decreases the level or intensity of brain/mind coherence,
hoping to reach a mental state of no-self. This increases the possibility of
picking up and recognizing universal patterns in mind through
consciousness and cognizing them since they are far less intense than
normal brain coherent patterns. When detected and cognized, the intensity
of the experience forces rewiring of the neural networks (experiences in
memory are broadened to include the direct higher-dimensional contact) so
the brain is more easily susceptible to future resonance, detection and
recognition of the universal patterns, i.e., rewiring changes the mindful
whole-brain cognition or coherence pattern enough to normally include the
four-dimensional universal connection conscious sensory input through
consciousness. In a sense, you must clear mind of everything (as the mystics
and spiritual masters say) or almost everything before you can hear your
own consciousness speaking to you. Satori and Nirvana result from whole-
brain cognizing a coherent resonance event with the universe, while a
similar lower level event can be initiated by scientific knowledge and/or
worldview based on an accurate and true theoretical model of the whole of
the universe that is kept in mind and controls thought patterns.
In our everyday world, normal is what occurs and is observed in our
three-dimensional world naturally and forms the basis of normal science,
but what is considered paranormal (beyond normal) is still perfectly natural
even though it is not normally observed since it happens in the fourth
34

dimension of our world. Ki, Chi, Prana and other subtle energies are
perfectly natural and explainable in the new science, as are acupuncture
meridians and chakras. Science can now explain how they work and can
possibly even help increase the abilities of people who have previously
learned to utilize them through experience, but only experience and
training can guide a person on how to initially manifest them. They are
consciousness point-by-point controlled mechanisms that occur
simultaneously throughout the body rather than mind controlled through
the nervous system, as are muscles and other body functions.
And finally, we can turn the new physics toward health issues. Brain and
spectrum disorders are caused by miswiring of the neural net, so as we
draw closer to the evolutionary leap, more babies are born with spectrum
disorders as nature experiments on how best to manifest the leap, but also
more gifted children are born where nature has been successful. PTSD and
similar traumatic disorders occur when the basic consciousness pattern of a
person has gone through a period of intense disharmony with the mind
pattern in three-dimensional space and/or the higher level four-dimensional
pattern of the universe in its wholeness. The universe tells a person one
thing while the sensations and brain tell the person something totally
different causing decoherence (miswiring). To cure this lasting trauma and
free the mind of the sufferer, coherent harmony needs to be reestablished in
the brain/mind to rewire neural nets correctly (to their former state before
the trauma or even better a higher state or level of consciousness).
The human immune system reacts to body/brain more intensely when
mind/consciousness are in coherent harmony or resonance. So, anything
that affects whole body and whole brain coherence will effectively increase
(and retrain) the efficiency of the human immune system to better fight
diseases and other negative conditions. Treatments and training practices
suggested by SOFT consciousness are the same as described beforeYoga,
meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido, music therapy and the sense of awe,
among othersto enhance whole-brain cognition and coherence and even
the likelihood of enlightenment, and these are already being used
successfully. When combined with scientific understanding and knowledge
(the logical portion of brain/mind) they can be made to work even more
effectively. Natural, psychic and energy healers, energy manipulators,
therapeutic massage, acupuncture and acupressure practitioners, and
similar whole-body method healers have found a way through their own
experiences and/or training to either manipulate their patients chi and/or
release, direct and/or manipulate their Chi to project their own healthy

Conclusion
And lastly, we can now return to the real meaning of Consciousness and
consciousness. Individual consciousness patterns are additive, as are the
domains of magnetic fields, since they are just low level domains in the
overall universe. So, a fully Conscious universe is evolving with our help
and there is no need to postulate some form of Consciousness that existed
in the past or pre-existed before the universe to explain human existence
doing so would be beyond the scope of science and is, in fact, a matter of
faith and personal belief, not science. Humanity is just one part of the
universe trying to realize and become conscious of itself. In this capacity,
every one of us needs to learn as much and experience as much of the
universe as we possibly can, but only if what we learn and experience is not
detrimental to the universe and/or harmful to others who are developing
and adding to the universe (Consciousness) through evolving their own
consciousness.
From this, our innate sense and sensibilities of morality emerge from
our consciousness as fundamental rules to live by. Our senses of eternity
and forever also emerge from this aspect of consciousness. Scientific
predictions such as the heat death of the universe and never ending
expansion until the universe shreds itself at ever-expanding distances
between particles are presently meaningless and counterproductive. These
are old school modern physics predictions of future material states of the
universe, which are distinctly lacking because they depend on either
outmoded or partially correct theories. Instead we have a new universe of
Consciousness emerging, even if the old purely material universe fails in
any way.
In the end, it does not matter whether consciousness or Consciousness,
neither and/or both, are our present reality, or if Consciousness is a later
evolutionary state of collective consciousness. Here and now, whichever and
whatever the case might be, they can only interact with the human mind
and brain through the simple neural net. So, a careful and complete study
and understanding of how the neural net and system of neural nets called
the brain work is completely and absolutely necessary as a starting point for
any realistic physical theory of consciousness. Whether consciousness or
Consciousness of any possible type is the truer reality, only time can answer.
