Abstract: Diffusion theory argues that given the vast amount of time the universe has existed, extraterrestrials have had plenty of time to cross the Milky Way galaxy and establish a community of civilizations. One implication of this hypothetical, intra-galactic dispersion of civilizations deserves mention. Namely, that every known—and as yet unknown—innovation of human genesis has probably already occurred countless times within these advanced civilizations. The sheer number alone of civilizations that have hypothetically existed for eons supports this. The idea that there is nothing new under the sun may be true, after all.

A neuron from the cerebellar cortex

Abstract: Citing research in consciousness, quantum physics, biophysics and cosmology, we propose the collective amplification of quantum effects as the basis for scientifically describing Kundalini awakening, and the higher-order, emergent phenomenon of Unity consciousness. Such alterations of consciousness have their origin in quantum-scale processes, such as self-induced transparency, superradiance, superpositions, quantum tunneling, and Bose-Einstein condensation. Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness. We postulate that bundles of fibers (neural cells), each containing numerous microtubule "lasers" acting in unison, collectively result in a massive surge of light energy to the brain. The sudden onset and radically altered nature of such states are consistent with a model based on the activation of a laser. The liquid crystalline nature of the human body likely provides a foundation for the non-local aspect of Unity consciousness. The unifying paradigm of the "quantum hologram" is introduced to apply quantum properties to macroscopic events.

“A Quantum Bio-Mechanical Basis for Near-Death Life Reviews”
Journal of Near-Death Studies, Spring 2003, Vol. 21, No. 3, pp. 169-189.

Abstract: Near-death life reviews pose a challenge to current memory research in terms of the sheer amount of instantaneous and empathetic information recall. Advances in quantum physics, bio-mechanics, holographic information theory, and consciousness studies support for the first time a fully realizable quantum bio-mechanical basis for near-death life reviews. We introduce the unifying paradigm of the quantum hologram as a non-local carrier of information. We further investigate the interrelated phenomena of non-local communications, and the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF). Recent confirmation of the ZPF lends credibility to vast memory storage capabilities outside the physical body. Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness. Discovery of the liquid crystalline nature of the human body provides further support for our model. Microtubules, DNA and the entire brain are described as communicating non-locally with virtually unlimited memory storage capacity.

“Recovery of Bulimia Nervosa through Near-Death Experience: A Case Study”
Janet E. Colli, Ph.D. and Thomas E. Beck, Ph.D.
Journal of Near-Death Studies, Fall 2003, Vol. 22, No. 1, pp. 33-55.

Abstract: Single case studies have lost considerable prestige since Freud's historical precedence. Yet they can provide a solid framework upon which to portray a previously unknown process. A single case study can disclose the process by which a compulsively disordered psyche successfully negotiates healing. The life-threatening medical complications and suicide attempts that are sometimes concomitant with eating disorders, specifically Bulimia nervosa — sometimes lead to near-death experiences (NDEs). Various Studies will be cited as evidence for that claim. Its significance will then be explored under the auspice of a single case study. One woman's story will be presented to illustrate an attempted suicide, her near-death experience, and subsequent recovery from bulimia nervosa.

“108: Sacred Sanskrit Sounds and the Molecular Basis of Life”
Unpublished manuscript

Abstract: The sacred number “108” holds special significance for both ancient Vedic tradition and modern molecular biology at the most fundamental level of existence. The relationship between “108” in Vedic tradition and “108” in molecular biology also has potential significance for those who seek to understand the spiritual knowledge of the East within the context of the scientific paradigm of the West. The elaboration of this interconnection offers an invitation for direct participation — through the use of sound vibrations. We begin by following the evolution of one author's meditation practice in order to illustrate the functioning of “108” in a spiritual practice. We then elucidate specific structures and functions in molecular biology where exactly 108 microtubules, no more and no less, orchestrate cell division within the human body. The final section provides practical methods for incorporating sacred sound into one's daily life.
