Hello Friends.

So I'm back here

and I want to share

with you a story

and then a new theory.

By the way,

Digital Dharma

will be out in September.

In the meanwhile,

you can ask me any question

on consciousness

and wellbeing

and theology,

philosophy, science

by going to DigitalDeepak.ai

and also give me feedback.

So now

let me share the story

and the new theory

that I have in mind.

So about 20, 25 years ago,

I was in the Netherlands,

and I was introduced

to a neuroscientist

by the name of Herms Romijn.

Since then he's passed.

But I

actually dedicated

a book to him.

I think it was.

How to know God.

I dedicated

one of my books to him

because I

got a lot of insights

from him.

Through him,

I first understood

the notion of long

term, use dependent,

hetero and homosynaptic

potentiation, use dependent.

This is way before

neuroplasticity

and epigenetics was known.

I began to understand that

how we

use our

mind and consciousness

actually influences

the neural

landscape of our brain.

That our brain is

originally created by genes

and then sculpted

by experience.

And genes

are the experiences

of our ancestors.

Anyway, that was one insight.

He also introduced me

to that,

a causal (which means

without cause),

non-local (outside of space

time),

quantum

mechanical interrelatedness,

which today

is called entanglement.

Again, this was 25 years ago.

But then he also shared

with me an essay

that he had written called,

Could Photons be the Carriers

of consciousness?

And over the years,

that stuck with me.

And I wondered if, photons

are the carriers

of the mode of consciousness

that creates the appearance

of the material world.

So since then, of course,

consciousness studies

and quantum physics

have become,

more mainstream.

And now I am proposing

a fascinating hypothesis,

that photons,

the fundamental

particles of light,

are probably the key

to understanding

how consciousness

creates our perception

of the material world.

So I want to explore this

intriguing possibility

with you,

examining the role of photons

in visual perception

and their

potential connection

to the generation

of conscious experience.

Photons are quantum

fluctuations of light

existing as both particles

and waves.

When these particles

of light interact

with the retina in our eyes.

They trigger

a cascade

of electrochemical reactions.

This process converts

light energy

into electrical signals

that are then

transmitted to the brain via

the optic nerve.

The brain , in

turn (this

is just a hypothetical,

you know, a theory right now

that I'm sharing with you

as a scientific mind),

processes these electrical

signals,

interpreting them

as visual information.

Now we actually

elaborate on them.

Although I'm saying "brain",

it is the mind

which is

a modified form

of consciousness.

In any case,

how does the

electrical information

transform into the rich,

colorful, three

dimensional world

we perceive?

This is where

the role of consciousness

becomes crucial.

So let me share with you

the idea

of consciousness

and the alchemy

of perception.

Consciousness.

That enigmatic

aspect of our existence,

may act as a translator,

converting raw sensory

data into what

philosophers call "qualia",

the subjective,

conscious experiences

of sensory perception.

So in my view,

consciousness takes

the electrical signals

derived from photon

interactions

and transmutes them

into a vocabulary

of sensations,

images, feelings,

and thoughts.

Acronym. SIFT.

S-I-F-T

This process can be likened

to a form of alchemy,

where the base

matter of electrical signals

is transformed

into the gold of

conscious experience.

The result of this

alchemical process

is the appearance

of the material world

as we know it,

projected onto the screen

of our consciousness.

It's like this program

is projected

on the screen

of your computer

or handheld device.

So this

introduces the idea

of the screen

of consciousness.

The notion

that our perception

of the material world

is a projection

on the screen

of consciousness,

in my view,

is a profound one.

It suggests that

what we perceive as solid

external reality

might in fact be a construct

of our consciousness

built from the information

carried by photons.

So this perspective

also aligns

with certain interpretations

of quantum mechanics,

which propose that

the act of observation,

which is a conscious act,

plays a crucial role

in determining

the nature of reality.

If photons are indeed

the carriers

of the mode of consciousness

that creates our perception

of the material world,

it would imply a deep,

fundamental connection

between light, consciousness

and the nature of

reality itself.

So

what are the implications

and questions?

This hypothesis

that I'm sharing with you,

for the first time,

by the way,

is, that if our perceptions

of the material world

are a construct

of consciousness,

what is the true

nature of reality

beyond our perception?

How might this understanding

change our approach

to studying consciousness

and quantum physics?

Could manipulating

our interactions of photons

alter our conscious

experience of reality?

While these questions

remain largely

in the realm

of theoretical physics

and philosophy,

they open up

exciting avenues

for future research

and contemplation.

In conclusion, my idea

that photons

well, actually,

Herms Romijn's idea,

that photons

could be the carriers

of a mode of consciousness

that creates our perception

of the material world.

I feel this is compelling,

but, let's see what the,

so-called authorities

have to say about it.

Share this

with as many people

as you can.

My idea,

I think, bridges the gap

between the quantum

world of photons

and the subjective world

of conscious experience,

offering a unique perspective

on the nature of reality.

And as we continue

to explore

the frontiers

of consciousness

and quantum mechanics,

this hypothesis that I offer

may provide valuable insights

into the fundamental nature

of our existence

and the world we inhabit.

So,

actually,

to elaborate this

a little further,

I found some interesting data

that some scientists suggest

that consciousness

could be expressed

through bio photons

in DNA and the brain,

referring to it

as the brain's

optic communication network.

Also researches

at the

University of Calgary

developed a

mathematical model

proposing that

axons in the brain

could physically

conduct light,

potentially constituting

a light communication system.

This light

communication system,

light based

communication system

in the brain

could potentially transport

quantum information,

allowing for quantum effects

in the

brain functioning

and processing.

So some

physicists, like

Eugene Wigner,

have suggested

that consciousness itself

may be responsible

for collapsing

the quantum

wavefunction,

determining physical reality.

Okay, enough for today.

Let me know what you think.

But this brings a new twist

on

biblical and other

religious sayings.

God said that,

and let there be light

and the universe came along.

Okay.

The light of consciousness.

Photons

carrying this

information that gives us

the appearance

of the material world.

I'm thrilled

just to share this with you.

Please give me your feedback

and go to DigitalDeepak.ai

if you have more questions.

Thanks so much.
