Part 8/15:
Experiments showing that focused attention can shift quantum interference patterns bolster this view. If observers influence quantum phenomena merely by focusing awareness, then consciousness becomes a participatory element woven into the fabric of reality.
Minds as Resonators: The Brain and Beyond
Instead of seeing the brain as a creator of consciousness, some researchers suggest it functions as a resonator—a receiver tuned into a deeper, non-local quantum field. This would mean that awareness isn't generated from neurons but "picked up" like a radio signal from an underlying universal consciousness.
Such a perspective profoundly alters our understanding of the self, hinting that human cognition might be a temporary interface with a collective, non-local mind that spans the cosmos.
