In today’s world, reward based conditioning forms our contemporary culture that deeply defines how we look at life and how we intuitively perceive our consciousness. Presently, acquisitions are our priority and we behave as narcissistic conditioned puppets and let governments and corporations rule our lives. We are hypocrites that can see, but behave blind; blinded within the realms of our short-termed thrills, joys and beliefs. Augmenting logical questioning and logical conditioning is the only way we can come out of this state that cannot be done individually, it has to be a collective effort. This paper is an attempt to understand our very own evolved consciousness and its relation to the current world with the true meaning of our existence, where we seek to understand it from a logical sense

It may seem nonsensical to many, but alas it is my opinion of what a stone could experience; it is an imagination which is exclusively based on my assertiveness towards the topic. The text aims to instil a sense of existence of a source of energy, which interrelates with the non-living, just like it does with the living; a driver for all experiences when in physical and non-physical. If it generates interest, it may change one's perspective of what it is to think like a panpsychist.

The cosmic energy is therefore the blueprint of the creator, which accommodates information of what was, what is and what will be and in its goodness creates, shapes and guides matter. The cosmic energy transformed matter to create the being that emerged to be intelligent; a being that acquired the understanding of language. Language and intelligence were essentially meant to articulate goodness, but ego bought in doubt; subjugated the goodness of energy to bring in a disparity of good and evil. The goodness of energy exists all around us and within us, but our intelligence and egoistic capacitance ignores it; for if we utilize the goodness of this energy, we can overcome our ego and change our thoughts. Everything is good and everything was created from goodness to be good and to remain good, all that needs to be grasped is the goodness that resides in the cosmo...

Therapeutic effects have been observed in several religious meditative and healing practices, which use resonance in the form of chanting and prayers. A living system may have many resonant frequencies due to their degrees of freedom, where each can vibrate as a harmonic oscillator supporting the progression of vibrations as waves that moves as a ripple within the whole system. A cell as an organism or cells in multicellular organisms act as resonating bodies that trigger of oscillation of oscillatory proteins of the cytoskeletal network. The resulting protein conformational changes generate a conscious moment that is regulated via electron tunneling, delocalization and superposition in space time geometry. Consciousness or sentience are phenomenal characteristics of every cell and even though we don’t know the “why...

To be conscious is to be aware but awareness is not always intelligence. Intelligence is task driven, and comes at a later stage in development than consciousness. Consciousness and intelligence are sometimes interdependent on each other, but have always been known as separate entities; an attempt to associate them, results in a lot of debate. This paper hypothesises the growth of consciousness to be horizontal, while the growth of intelligence to be vertical during the progression of development. The horizontal growth of consciousness is completely dependent on cell division and cell differentiation, while the vertical growth of intelligence depends on the horizontal growth of consciousness and enhancement of neural systems. Consciousness is computed within the microtubular network of a single cell, which amplifies with multicellularity, while intelligence is re...

The lesser beings are content with what is provided, seem more beholden of being created, rather than the selfish unsatisfied human, whose desire to gain has no limit leaving the body unsatisfied to deteriorate thy own soul and its existence and of the others. The cause of entropy is human intelligence and the falsified superiority of human consciousness that leaves the body unsatisfied and the soul to writhe; for it creates a resistance in the flow of consciousness that makes the human loose its value of life and all that resides within. Egoism enhances superiority promotes an indestructible feeling; denies consciousness that flows within and across the system; a loss of revere to the cosmic bridge of consciousness that links the body, mind and soul to the universe. Satisfaction can be gotten when one clearly differentiates the subjectivity from...

Most living forms bear the sense of hearing; the ability to perceive sound within specific ranges of frequencies, but organisms without non-auditory features perceive these frequencies in the form of vibrations or via the phenomenon of resonance. In humans, music therapy is a proven relaxation technique that helps manage stress and acts as a form of secondary treatment for several neural based disorders. The basis of this study was to understand whether music or rather sound vibrations, can enhance brain related activities mainly cognitive behaviour in snails, as these invertebrates do not possess auditory features, thus hypothesizing the interaction to be at a cellular level. Cognition is an important attribute of every living organism which although varies ...

Fear makes us loose the actual essence of God; the subjective experience of God that we have a right to feel; the wise fool us with a falsification of the wrath of God; a God ready to assault and annihilate all life at any moment. Experiencing the creation of the creator is the true appreciation of the subjective experience of our consciousness, for like the creator, it will always remain a beautiful mystery.

In this paper, we report results from cognition based T-maze studies on pulmonate snail, Ariophanta laevipes. Cognitive abilities of the snails were established as, time taken to complete the maze pre and post subjection of the brain to low level near-infrared laser for a period of 5 and 10 days. A significant change in the cognitive abilities and behaviour was observed in snails exposed for 5 days to low level near –infrared laser at a wavelength of 650 + 10 nm, in comparison to the control and experimental groups. The results of the studies confirmed that low level light at near infrared wavelengths plays an important role in cognition abilities like memory-formation/retention and learning.

This paper is a first time report of the effect of individual frequencies generated by tuning forks on the cognition of these snails. The study was conducted in three parts A, B and C, where the snails were exposed to tuning fork generated frequencies of 64, 128, 256, 288, 320, 341, 384, 426, 480 and 512 Hz. From the results of the T-maze tests; it was evident that snails exposed to 320 Hz frequency were extremely active as compared to snails of the control groups and other groups. In the maze these snails were highly focussed and goal oriented, and completed their maze run in a shorter time as compared to the other groups. Based on the results of this study, it was evident that exposure to 320 Hz frequency enhanced the cognitive capacity of the brain in snails Achatina fulica which maybe a direct effect of the vibratio...

This study is a comparison of frequencies of two wellknown mantras – Om Mani Padme Hum; a Tibetian Buddhist mantra and Om Namah Shivaya; a Hindu mantra. The reason for comparing these two mantras is based on the history behind the origination of the Om Mani Padme Hum Tibetian mantra, which is said to have originated from the Karandavyuha Sutra that has close affinities to non-Buddhist literature and therefore the six syllable mantra is said to have been conceptualized from the five syllable mantra “Om Namah Shivaya”. A strong similarity has been observed in the frequency patterns of the two mantras which provide substantial evidence of the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra being a derivative of the Om Namah Shivaya mantra. This evidence can be upheld by the ability of both these mantras to generate positive energies within the body when

Agreeing to a fundamental approach for consciousness is more about embracing the true understanding of consciousness rather than avoiding it. Consciousness can, therefore, be located anywhere and everywhere, but in a form that we do not understand until it takes shape within the limits of our reality. Monism related approaches to consciousness are an act to run away from the problems associated with dualism and therefore the need of the hour is a holistic sense of consciousness. Holistic approaches to understand consciousness opens the doors to many versions of this unique ubiquitous feature that we possess; that we do not understand, and that which gives us the ability to go over and beyond emergence.

Memories generated during these experiences are of specific interest as they are created without a body and can be recalled post the experience. Call it the mind, soul, psyche or consciousness, if deliberated as a form of quantum generated energy, a strong correlation under a reductionist based perspective can be obtained. Life at a macroscopic level may not be similar to life at a quantum level, and has been proved in quantum physics through its spooky properties like quantum entanglement. Self-sustaining quantum generated energy through entanglement is the answer to all mystical realties and the answer lies in believing in its existence in and around us. It is this energy that brings in the awareness of one’s existence and which perfo...

This process is highly volatile and can get affected by different states such as emotion, attention, motivation and perception resulting in impaired memory formation. Learning capabilities in simple organisms such as snails has always been a challenge when compared to complex organisms. This paper reports results from a set of pre-and post-learning cognitive based T-maze studies on snail, Achatina fulica. Preference, learning and short-and long-term memory retention based cognitive abilities of snails were studied using a modified Tmaze. A significant difference in preference and memory gain of snails within the same group and species was observed under same conditions. Induced learning as change in arm preference was recognized by some snails, which retained this memory throughout the study. Some snails displayed learning traits during the learning period but reverted back to their original preference post learning. A rapid shift in preference post learning was verified as spontaneous alternation behaviour. Gradual reduction observed in runtime evaluated within a few hours post learning suggested a significant short term memory retention for these snails which was similar in case of long term memory, that was evaluated for a period of 20 days. Snails that showed restrictive learning patterns did not change their arm preference throughout the study and their behaviour was more resolute but eventually goal oriented. The results of this study demonstrates significant learning capability in this species with the ability to retain short and long term memory, confirming cognitive capabilities of a simple brain.

With this approach, even though science can explain well the physics behind the objective phenomenon, it fails fundamentally in understanding the various aspects associated with the biological entities. In this sense, we are skeptical to the present approach of science and calls out for a more fundamental theory of life that considers not only the objectivity aspect of a biological entity but also the subjective experience as well. It raises questions as to what does it takes to develop a new science from a subjective standpoint.

The creator is the symmetric light which gave rise to asymmetric matter along with abundant cosmic energy that currently resides in the matrix of the universe; for the symmetry was broken with the big bang to create the universe. In the physical world, matter gave rise to biological structures to possess the electromagnetic soul and its processes; a localized form created of the cosmic energy; in religion what we call the Spirit. Eternal cosmic energy is the source that supports the localized cloud of photons or the electromagnetic soul within temporary matter; propagates information across the systematic biological make up of matter; a key to the phenomenon of consciousness within the physical. Matter if corrupted or altered, leads to an imbalance in the life processes which can be healed with support from the eternal cosmic energy, as a healer for the soul. God is light; and in him there is no darkness (John 1: 1-5); for the creation was created of this light; filling the cosmos with the Spirit. Thus, we may know the 'how' of creation of the universe, its matter and its consciousness, but the 'why' shall remain eternally phenomenal.

Singing has always comforted my soul. It conducts my soul within the matter that makes my body and amalgamates with the Holy Spirit, connecting my soul with the Creator and the Cosmos. Resonating notes connects all living beings to the Universe, for frequency of the vibrations interfere; construct and destruct and transmit energy within and across every living organism. While I sing, I eulogize God for all that thou hast given; foster a relationship with the Holy Spirit, my Soul, the Earth, the Universe and the entirety of the Cosmos; my vibrations proliferate far beyond my imagination, deeper and deeper into the metaphysical.

The case presented in this study sets a stepping stone in understanding the advent of the will to make a choice, from a neuro-quantum mechanics interpretation. We propose that besides our internal states of choices (neurogenesis, neuroplasticity, cell differentiation, etc.) we also relate with external states of choices (love, compassion, empathy, emotions, etc.) that contributes to its emergence. Quantum uncertainty seems to support the existence of a fundamental property based on which the universe functions; which means that even the nothing of free space has a small chance of containing something. Outcomes are not determined by prior or random events but by consciousness that gives rise to these outcomes. This provides us a lead into understanding the existence of the will and the origin of choice when we look deeper into the realms of the implausible interpretations of quantum mechanics. Free will is the ability for the mind to choose between possible outcomes. Willful power is therefore not only a psychological intervention but also a biological and quantum intervention, where we have the capacity to make choices about what direction we will take, making a change to the systematic functioning of our body.
