Jibu & Yasue call protein filament waves the first degree of freedom of the fundamental system of living matter 75. My conviction about such a non-vanishing wave is outlined in wave-particle chapter. To me a non-vanishing wave travels to a non-local realm during each oscillation here it refurbishes its energy. This non-local information-rich realm provides the quantum freedom.

 

Mari Jibu and Kunio Yasue also believe the spatial geometric configuration of water molecules provide the second quantum mechanical degree of freedom of living matters. Water is made of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.  As such a water molecule manifests a non-vanishing electric dipole moment. Water is abundant in the body. So it can deliver quantum effect all over the body of living things.

 

If at deeper level the anatomy of nervous system is linked to quantum fields then the product of it (the consciousness) has to be studied within the quantum field theory contest. Consciousness cannot be studies at cellular or molecular level, we simply do not reach to any convincing result at these levels.

 

Universal Consciousness

 

Many authors believe in the presence of a universal consciousness where information exists in a coherent state. If our brain is connected to such an informational field then many transpersonal experiences such as hypnosis or telepathy can find logical explanations. Previously, I have assumed the proposed singularity as being the ultimate source of information. On the other hand, Louis de Broglie proposed that all matter exhibit both wave like and particle like properties. Furthermore, in previous chapters I have speculated that during wave motion or quantum tunneling particles join the proposed singularity while being absent from space-time. Therefore we can assume that us also being wave are in constant periodical contact with this ultimate source of information. This is one assumed way where our consciousness connects to a universal informational field.

 

Spirituality

 

Spirituality is an internal realization. We connect to it within our consciousness realm. My personal conviction is that the universal consciousness is fundamentally different from the god that is advocated by traditional religions. The god of main religions is human-like. He is a separate entity and lives somewhere in a space-time setting (heavens).The universal consciousness on the other hand, is where everything connects and cohere. It encompasses everything and in a sense it is everything. Spirituality then may mean sensing this universal consciousness and feeling the quittance with it. It may mean the easing sensation of oneness with the universe. The ultimate joy is the realization and connection with this realm. This is what meditation provides. Obviously, this universal awareness is completely different from conventional religions’ creator. It doesn't need our worship, neither has it appoint representatives. It certainly doesn't need our donations neither will it order us to kill each other.

 

We need a new explanation for spirituality within a scientific framework. While all of us feel an internal acquaintance with spirituality, what traditional faiths advocate doesn't seem to be very convincing. It seems that Religions have hi- jacked the spirituality and derailed it.

Unfortunately science left spirituality as an orphan. This is because classical science could hardly pass the objective realm. In the absence of a scientific explanation people are clinging to old definitions and beliefs. These outdated beliefs are constantly creating disasters at family, regional, and global levels. The scientists’ hesitation to touch the subject only leaves the ambitious public to succumb to the ignorance promoted by old fashioned establishments.
