Walden Pond 44 acres that now includes the Thoreau Cabin (Shanty) was very special and remained 'untamed' when supervised by the Wheeler family owners. Walden Pond was formed with retraction of ice after the Ice Age, which was the Pleistocene Epoch defined as the time period that began about 2.6 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. The most recent Ice Age occurred then, as glaciers covered huge parts of the planet Earth. [By Kim Ann Zimmermann - Live Science Contributor August 29, 2017, Live Science]
“Walden Pond is a kettle lake, formed at the end of the last Ice Age, some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, when a huge block of glacial ice broke off and remained behind as the glacier retreated to the north. [USGS https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/1998/fs064-98/pdf/fs06498.pdf]
Native Indians were said to be spiritually ritualing and fell into the Walden Pond water when the Kettle formed after the land collapsed over the now Pond. The Pennacook Native Indians, a sub-Tribe of the Nipmuc 1st Nation, were spiritual people and Walden was once a natural, sacred place. Thousands of Artifacts have been found around Walden pond documenting the Pennacooks’ frequent presence. Thoreau's Indian Artifacts are on display.
Walden Pond was never unowned, unappropriated, public land since Native Indian inhabitation in the Paleoindian Period (12,000-9,000 BP) until now 2021 after ownership transfer from the Native Indians to George Wheeler Sr., inb 1635.
“Henry David Thoreau's theology of the wild was enabled through his engagement with Native Indians. Thoreau believed that for peoples' souls to survive being cut off physically from wilderness, they must cultivate this wilderness within–a feat they must learn–and appropriate–from indigenous peoples.” [Apostles of Wilderness: American Indians and Thoreau's Theology of the Wild (Lydia Willsky-Ciollo; Apostles of Wilderness: American Indians and

“Thoreau's actions while living at Walden illustrate his concern with purification and rebirth and nature. Thoreau stated that he swam early every morning in the pond. These actions function as a sort of daily ritual baptism, representing a new beginning and connecting Thoreau physically with nature. [http://www.bradleypdean.com/.../Bean_Field_Article...of Walden by Bradley P. Dean pp 90 -97.]
Many sacrament baptisms were ritualed in Walden Pond. Many came from far away, even Boston, for the sacred Walden Pond ‘Spring water'. Walden Pond had the deepest Massachusetts Lake formed from melted ice and formed from a ‘glacialkettle-hole’ with deep spring water arising from the ‘aquifers’ found during Thoreau’s depth measures. Thoreau claimed “Walden Pond figuratively mingled with the Sacred Ganges water….All Nature and Humans are infused with Divine Spirituality and accessible Creation and Universe Energies…..Living close to Nature provides and essential Human being experience…..Walden Pond is the ‘Cathedral of Nature’.” [Thoreau, 18545/1992:264]
Difficult to imagine, but frozen Walden water ice was actually sold and transported overseas. Walden Pond enjoyed an international spiritual reputation. Speculators believed Walden Pond’s underdevelopment was because of its Aboriginal and Colonial sacredness. Truthfully, the 1635 to 1841 Wheeler family's supervision was also instrumental in Walden Pond’s Preservation.
Accurate George Wheeler Sr. and Walden Pond History Restoration, Education and Preservation, including Henry David Thoreau and Native Indians' ‘Cathedral of Nature’, are imperative.
In Walden, certain facets of the physical world become symbolic because of the meaning that Thoreau attaches to them. Walden Pond, at the edge of which he lives, symbolizes the spiritual significance of nature. Every morning, Thoreau takes a bath in the pond and calls it a religious experience, reminding him of nature's endless capacity to renew life and stirring him to higher aspirations. He laments that townspeople pump the pond's water into their houses to do their dishes, calling the water "as sacred as the Ganges," referencing the River Ganges in Indian believed to be Holy. [LitCharts]
Rev. Candace McKibben, “On a recent trip to Boston, we spent time at Walden Pond in Concord. It was not at all what I had imagined and while my imaginings were beautiful, they did not come close to the simplicity and splendor of what I saw there.
The lovely clear waters of the pond and the surrounding acreage of woodlands felt sacred to me because of the experiment in deliberate living Henry David Thoreau conducted there beginning July 4, 1845. For two years, two months and two days he lived in a “tiny house” he constructed in the woods on the property of his mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson. He kept a journal of his experiences and observations that he later published as, “Life in the Woods” or “Walden.”
It was a sunny, warm day on both of the days we visited Walden Pond, and by early morning the parking lot was nearing capacity. Families with floats, buckets, fishing rods and towels were making their way down to the sandy beach. Swimmers were already out crossing the 64 acre pond, showing remarkable resilience.
What he learned, though he would never suggest any of us should forsake discovering our own way for his, has inspired untold lives and fueled important movements in world history. Biomimicry, an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s patterns and strategies, had an early pioneer in Thoreau.
The passive resistance of Mohandas Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other conscientious objectors has been inspired by his writings, particularly his essay, “Civil Disobedience.”
Sitting on a fallen tree on an upper path around Walden Pond, watching the sunlight through the trees and the ants marching along the ground, I listened as my husband read to me from the McKibben edition of Walden, “There were times when I could not afford to sacrifice the bloom of the present moment to any work, whether of the head or the hands. I love a broad margin to my life.”
It was a sacred moment in full bloom for which I am grateful. [Sacred moment: Visit to Walden Pond stirs wonder, 162 years later July 5, 2019 Rev. Candace McKibben, Tallahassee Democrat]
If you come early enough on a summer morning to Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, you get a sense of where Henry David Thoreau lived, and what he lived for. Light slants through the towering pines on the southeastern shore, glittering on the dark-green surface of the pond, and the soft air carries the scent of lake water and the hint of the coming day’s heat. Thoreau loved this time best (“the most memorable season of the day,” he called it) and considered his morning swim a religious exercise. On this particular morning, as on most, a distant splash marks the new disciples: a handful of long-distance swimmers getting a workout in before the masses arrive and take over the pond.
Which is why you need to come early: More than 700,000 visitors each year make the pilgrimage to Walden Pond State Reservation, most of them in summer. Many are true pilgrims; the guestbook carries entries from every state and 100 foreign countries, from seekers quoting from Walden and others realizing a quest to stand on sacred ground. But most come from the suburban towns surrounding Concord. By 9 in the morning on a sunny weekend day there’s no space left in the parking lot, and within an hour there’s no space left on the beach.
Amid the strollers and striped towels, the moms and laughing kids and screaming toddlers, the pond loses the solitude Thoreau moved here for, at least along Main Beach (derisively called “Dirty Diaper Beach” by some locals) and the smaller sandy spit of Red Cross Beach, which Thoreau called “the fireside” because it held some warmth in winter. Although the pond is deep and covers more than 60 acres, its human urine concentration is thought to be among the highest of the state’s 1,100 lakes and ponds.
The scene, the play of light, all the edges, are lovely and peaceful. And I know I’m a romantic to say so, but I do sense a touch of sacredness here. My friend Elliott, standing next to me in the cool early-morning shade near Main Beach, asks me, “Do you think Walden Pond made the book special, or did the book make Walden Pond special?”
At Walden Pond, thanks to a book written a century and a half ago and a landscape that remains, in many ways, recognizable, we resonate with something deeper. [Walden Pond: Thoreau’s Sacred Place by Jim Collins, June 9, 2008 Yankee]
But it is Walden that speaks most clearly across the years to us.
And that’s why, visiting Walden Pond was for me a true pilgrimage. At first I feared it would be disappointing, for the parking lot was crowded with cars and chattering groups of people heading out to explore the area. Then we walked to the replica of Thoreau’s cabin (the original hut long ago disappeared), and something of the spirit of the place began to emerge. The building is simple and small but cozy. Furnished with a chair, a bed, and a desk, it would still make a fine writer’s retreat.
But the highlight of our visit came when we hiked a half-mile into the nearby woods to the site where Thoreau’s cabin once stood. It was a warm, sunny day, and with each step the noise of people in the parking lot became more muted. The cabin site is in a small clearing in the woods, with posts that mark where the walls once stood. And just down the hill is serene Walden Pond, its surface sparkling with sunlight, ringed by thick woods, looking not so different, I would suspect, from when Thoreau lived here.
If America has a sacred scripture, surely the words that Thoreau wrote in this cabin are part of the text.

“When most people think of a pilgrimage, they generally think of an unforgettable trip to the Holy Land or a once-in-a-lifetime trek to Mecca. For some, the term triggers a vision of biblical or medieval times and seems out of place in modern day 2017, but for others, a pilgrimage is an integral part of their present-day faith.
Merriam-Webster defines a pilgrimage as “a journey of a pilgrim; especially one to a shrine or a sacred place,” and dictionary.com defines it as “a journey, especially a long one, made to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion.”
But these well-known spiritual journeys for followers of the major world religions do not fully define what a pilgrimage can be. According to religious travel writer Lori Erickson, a pilgrimage can still have significant meaning even if it is much more simple and closer to home.
Erickson’s recently published book, “Holy Rover, Journeys in Search of Mystery, Miracles, and God,” chronicles her travels on 12 diverse pilgrimages, and she shares the lessons she learns from them.
Although she does travel to some of the more well-known spots—Jerusalem, the Holy Land and the Martin Luther sites in Germany—Erickson also journeys to places in the United States that some might not characterize as pilgrimages at first glance.
A trip to Indiana to practice Buddhism? She says that’s a pilgrimage. Spending time at an abbey in Kentucky with a group of silent Trappist monks? Also a pilgrimage. What about a solitary stroll around Walden Pond, just like author Henry David Thoreau used to do in the 19th century? Is that a pilgrimage? Indeed many regard Walden Pond is a pilgrimage. [Holy Lands in North America, by Kay Saffari, Sept 12, 2019]
Because nature is never superficial, Thoreau thought, neither should be human intercourse. Indeed, the one complaint Thoreau had about his hand-hewn house was that it was not large enough to contain the expansiveness of shared thought and the greatness of the conversation when he welcomed visitors. “I would gladly tell all I know, and never paint ‘No Admittance’ on my gate” (Ibid.: 15). In the century and a half since raising those humble walls, he has welcomed millions.
At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, werequire that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed, and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature (Ibid.: 281).
Today, therapists are beginning to realize how the myth of the isolated mind shapes a cultural narrative that estranges persons from each other, and that “We can never have enough of nature.” They have rediscovered the psychological and spiritual benefits of immersion in the natural world and now prescribe this 68 [ERIC COWAN & LENNIS G.

However, Walden is both aneloquent ode and a soulful prayer to nature, a mingling of the waters of theGanges and Walden Pond—and brings into harmony insights into the humancondition that both the East and West have offered. It reminds us that going into the woods can be much more than merely a refreshing hike or a relaxing excursion to savor the wonders of the natural world—it can be a mindful journey into the eternal mystery of the present and into the sacred, eternal depths of the self that is one with nature.

The brain contains vast numbers of interconnected neurons that constitute anatomical and functional networks. Structural descriptions of neuronal network elements and connections make up the “Connectome” Interconnectedness of the brain (Hagmann, 2005; Sporns et al., 2005; Sporns, 2011), and are important for understanding normal brain function and disease-related dysfunction.
A long-standing ambition of the neuroscience community has been to achieve complete connectome maps for the human brain as well as the brains of non-human primates, rodents, and other species (Bohland et al., 2009; Hagmann et al., 2010; Van Essen and Ugurbil, 2012).
A wide repertoire of experimental tools is currently available to map neural connectivity at multiple levels, from the tracing of mesoscopic axonal connections and the delineation of white matter tracts (Saleem et al., 2002; Van der Linden et al., 2002; Sporns et al., 2005; Schmahmann et al., 2007; Hagmann et al., 2010), the mapping of neurons organized into functional circuits (Geerling and Loewy, 2006; Ohara et al., 2009; Thompson and Swanson, 2010; Ugolini, 2011), to the identification of cellular-level connections, and the molecular properties of individual synapses (Harris et al., 2003; Arellano et al., 2007; Staiger et al., 2009; Micheva et al., 2010; Wouterlood et al., 2011).
But despite the numerous connectivity studies conducted through many decades we are still far from achieving comprehensive descriptions of the connectome across all these levels. There is increasing awareness that new neuroinformatics tools and strategies are needed to achieve the goal of compiling the brain’s connectome, and that any such effort will require systematic, large-scale approaches [Bohland et al., 2009; Akil et al., 2011; Zakiewicz et al., 2011; Van Essen and Ugurbil, 2012].
Systematic literature mining to compile and share complete overview of known connections in the macaque brain was pioneered by Rolf Kötter and co-workers (Stephan et al., 2001, 2010). While yielding promising results (Kötter, 2004; Bota et al., 2005; van Strien et al., 2009), more coordinated efforts are needed to collect, organize, and disseminate connectome data sets. To this end, there is an urgent need to develop and identify neuroinformatics approaches that allow different levels of connectivity data to be described, integrated, compared, and shared within the broader neuroscience community.
This Research Topic of Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, dedicated to the memory of Rolf Kötter (1961–2010) and his pioneering work in the field of brain connectomics, comprises contributions that elucidate different levels of connectivity analysis (from MRI-based methods, through axonal tracing techniques, to mapping of functional connectivity in relation to detailed 3-D reconstructions of individual neurons), and point to several recent methodological advances and neuroinformatics-related challenges at the level of data mining, management, and integration. In this Editorial, we review the advances represented in these reports, and discuss some of the grand challenges in this emerging field.

A new research at the intersection of cosmology and neurobiology implies that diverse physical processes lead to similar levels of complexity and self-organization present in structures of scales.
An astrophysicist at the University of Bologna and a neurosurgeon at the University of Verona compared the network of neuronal cells in the human brain with the cosmic network of galaxies and found astounding similarities.
In their paper ‘The quantitative comparison between the neuronal network and the cosmic web’ published in Frontiers in Physics, Franco Vazza, astrophysicist at the University of Bologna, and Alberto Feletti, neurosurgeon at the University of Verona, investigated the similarities between two of the most complex systems in existence: the cosmic web of galactic superclusters and the network of neuronal cells in the human brain.
Despite the stupendous difference in scale between the two networks of roughly 27 orders of magnitude, the human brain and the composition of the Cosmic “Connectome” Interconnectedness show similar levels of complexity and self-organization, according to the researchers.
The human brain functionality depends on its vast neural network which is estimated to contain nearly 70 billion neurons. In comparison, the observable universe constitutes a cosmic web of at least 100 billion galaxies. Within both systems, only 30% of their total masses are composed of galaxies and neurons that are arranged in long filaments between nodes. The rest of 70% of the composition of mass-energy plays a seemingly passive role: the brain’s water and the universe’s dark energy.
While comparing a computer simulation of the galactic connectome to sections of the cerebral cortex, the researchers aimed to observe how matter fluctuations scatter over such varied scales apart.
"We calculated the spectral density of both systems. This is a technique often employed in cosmology for studying the spatial distribution of galaxies," explains Franco Vazza. "Our analysis showed that the distribution of the fluctuation within the cerebellum neuronal network on a scale from 1 micrometer to 0.1 millimeters follows the same progression of the distribution of matter in the cosmic web but, of course, on a larger scale that goes from 5 million to 500 million light-years."
The two researchers also calculated some parameters characterizing both the neuronal network and the Cosmic Unverse “Connectome” Interconnectedness : the average number of links in each node and the tendency of clustering several links in central nodes within both networks.
"Once again, structural parameters have identified unexpected agreement levels. Probably, the connectivity within the two networks evolves following similar physical principles, despite the striking and obvious difference between the physical powers regulating galaxies and neurons," adds Alberto Feletti. "These two complex networks show more similarities than those shared between the cosmic web and a galaxy or a neuronal network and the inside of a neuronal body."
The remarkable results of this interdisciplinary study are urging the scientists to think that new and effective analysis techniques in both fields, cosmology and neurosurgery, will allow for a better understanding of the underlying dynamics of these two vital systems.
[The Cosmic Connectome: Our Universe is a Giant Brain, According to Scientists11/17/20200 Comments by Alex Vikoulov [Posted November 17, 2020, Ecstadelic Media Group]
Abstract
The universe is a hologram, The brain is a hologram tuner The code is creative evolution
Introduction
In the first paper, we quickly leapfrogged over some of the best theories of reality that science has to offer in order to paint a picture of the universe described by their equations.
And with the theories of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and superstrings— despite some of their contradictions — we find models of the universe that are largely successful because of the accuracy of their predictions, providing empirical validation on many real-world problems.
But it’s with the implications of their assumptions — the ideas accepted without proof and on which they stand — where we can get a deeper glimpse into the possible nature of reality. Particularly the 95% of it that we have yet to observe.
And with string theory, we find in the initial assumption only a small leap of the imagination on which to base our conclusions. Conclusions that then follow logically from doing the math.
Instead of point particles, all matter and energy are modeled as vibrating string-like objects whose folding and resonant frequencies determine their properties.
By projecting this assumption into higher dimensions, we are then able to construct a mathematically consistent model of the universe integrating both general relativity and quantum mechanics, theoretically solving some of the hard problems of physics, and generally implying that:Reality, as we experience it, is a holographic projection of quantum string entanglement on a hyper-dimensional manifold lying an infinite distance away.
Tumbling down this rabbit hole, we are led to the conclusion that the either the universe has the properties of a hologram, or the hologram has the properties of a universe. In other words:It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
The universe is a black hole. Encoded in its hidden dimensions are the histories of all possible universes. And at its core, the universe is running a real-time search algorithm for novelty. A quantum computer evolving complexity as fast as possible.
What we perceive on the event horizon is a simulation, a necessary illusion created by the brain to facilitate survival on a hyperbolic landscape of entangled strings.
And with a virtual reality headset tuned specifically to the game of natural selection, we re-construct the hologram to explore its degrees of freedom and exploit them.The simulation, then, is the playground of evolution. A video game whose only objective is to create something new. If this is true, if the universe is, in fact, a hologram, then it follows that like all holograms, a reference beam is needed for its re-construction. Luckily, our nervous system provides just such a ray of light.
The Brain is a Hologram Tuner
Around 2 billion years ago, as evolution was taking baby steps toward a planet of talking apes, it stumbled on a particularly useful trick for keeping its doodles alive. Cells with a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. The eukaryotes. And by converting external stimuli into membrane de-polarizations, the eukaryotes were able to create an electrical gradient between the inside and outside of their cells, and that was something to work with.
Fast forward a billion and a half years and these simple eukaryotes had self-organized and specialized to such a degree that complex multi-cellular organisms began evolving. And from this branching point, the animal kingdom set out on its pursuit of intelligence.
Harnessing the power of the electromagnetic force, specialized cells developed which could transmit information in the form of action potentials and cascading de-polarizations of electric fields.
An action potential
These spikes of electricity enabled cells to communicate with each other and offered a distinct evolutionary advantage to organisms that proved efficient in their tuning.
The more adapted an organism is to its environment — the better it can sense and react to it — the greater its chances are of survival.And thus were born the impulse conductors of our existence, the drivers of evolution and intelligence. Nerves. [The Holographic Brain, Feb 29, 2020, neurokinetikz]
“The general assumption by others in modern science and philosophy, the ‘standard model’, is that Consciousness emerges from complex computation among brain neurons, computation whose currency is seen as neuronal firings (‘spikes’) and synaptic transmissions, equated with binary information ‘bits’ in digital computing. This is the ‘standard model’, but not ours.
“Consciousness is presumed to ‘emerge’ from complex neuronal computation, and to have arisen during biological evolution as an adaptation of living systems, extrinsic to the makeup oour Universe. On the other hand, spiritual and contemplative traditions, and some scientists and philosophers consider Consciousness to be intrinsic, ‘woven into the fabric of our Universe’ i.e. 'Interconnected Wholeness'
In these views, Conscious precursors and Platonic forms preceded Biology, existing all along in Physics fine scale structure of reality. “Dr Stuart Hameroff research involves a theory of consciousness which amalgamates these 2 approaches, a theory developed over the past 20 years with eminent British physicist and mathematician, Sir Roger Penrose.
Called ‘orchestrated objective reduction’ (‘Orch OR’), it suggests Consciousness arises from quantum vibrations in protein polymers called microtubules inside the brain’s neurons, vibrations which interfere, ‘collapse’ (‘logic gated’) and resonate across scale, control neuronal firings, generate consciousness, and connect ultimately to ‘deeper order’ ripples in spacetime geometry.
Consciousness and THIS UNIVERSE are more like music, more like A RESONANT RHAPSODY ENERGY SYMPHONY ⁷¹ Aug, 2019 (link - http://brainsthatbelieve.xyz/ ) than computer computations, as physicists and Artificial Intelligenciers would have readers have it, while electronic conduction drives Human Brain other important Neurophysiological signals and actions.
Widespread and reciprocal connectivity with many, if not most, cortical regions raises the obvious question: why is all this information brought together, since this involves most of the loops being much longer than if the claustrum lay more uniformly under the cortex? If the claustrum is critical to binding information within and across sensory and motor modalities, certain anatomical constraints would have to be met. In particular, the information from say, a visual cortical region would need to be combined with information from somatosensory, auditory or motor cortices. This demands some sort of intermixing of the associated signals within the claustrum. Several, non-exclusive, anatomical and biophysical substrates for such widespread intra-claustral interactions are possible.
Francis Crick and Christof Koch have compared the claustrum to the conductor of an orchestra, referring to its regulatory role in consciousness and cognition.[2][3] The different parts of the cortex must play in harmony or else the result is a cacophony of sounds.[2] The claustrum may be involved in widespread coordination of the cerebral cortex, using synchronization to achieve a seamless timescale between both the two cortical hemispheres and between cortical regions within the same hemisphere, resulting in the seamless quality of conscious experience.

Our UNIVERSE IS truly A RESONANT RHAPSODY ENERGY SYMPHONY with Consciousness as the conductor, binding all of our different external and internal stimulations and perceptions together and rapidly binding together information arriving at different times and rapidly integrating the information across distinct regions of Human brains, our Universe and artificial intelligent computers.
Our God is with certainty a magnificent Symphony Director. “In a study published by Mohamad Koubeissi at the George Washington University in Washington DC, he and his colleagues describe how they managed to switch a woman’s consciousness off and on by stimulating her claustrum.

“Other research explained Anesthesia suppression of consciousness by synthesis of 2 Paradigms depending on the type anesthetic;” both probably contribute to on and off switch of consciousness:
“In the “bottom up” paradigm, anesthetics suppress consciousness by modulating sleep-wake nuclei and neural circuits in the brainstem and diencephalon, lower level brain anatomy, that have evolved to control arousal states.
“In the “top-down” paradigm: anesthetics suppress consciousness by modulating the cortical and thalamocortical circuits, upper level brain anatomy, involved in the integration of neural information.

“Science is now claiming that Quantum Theory process Consciousness moves to another universe at death. (Spirit Science, 13 Jan, 2014). This scientific investigator believes with other medicine and science researchers that the e-Soul, a Consciousness modality, departs human at death.
“Even though The Human Soul has been discovered and been photographed (Prakash2012), Some scientists hesitate to accept it. But many others do. Many of the objections have been offered by Physicists, non-Biologists. “The Soul being a functional unit of consciousness, the instrument and meditation practices have become a methodology. Many scientists hesitate to accept it and do experiments themselves to validate it. That is Consciousness of ‘Human Nature’.
It is never too late for the Human realization that the Human Soul and Eternal Afterlife are for real.
“The brain is really a wet, sloppy drum machine,” Horowitz says. “It’s desperately seeking rhythms.” Not only rhythm, but patterns in pitch too, that have a mathematical regularity that captures the brain’s attention. “Vibration sensitivity is found in even the most primitive life forms,” Horowitz says — even bacteria. “It’s so critical to your environment, knowing that something else is moving near you, whether it’s a predator or it’s food.
Everywhere you go, there is vibration and it tells you something.”
New research by Univ Chicago neurobiologist Sliman Bensmaia shows that the nervous system reproduces the same frequency and intensity of these vibrations in the nerves, and all the way to the brain.

“A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons. The recent discovery of quantum vibrations in “microtubules” inside brain neurons corroborates this theory, according to review authors Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose. They suggest that EEG rhythms (brain waves) also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations, and that from a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions.
The theory, called “orchestrated objective reduction” (‘Orch OR’), was first put forward in the mid-1990s by eminent mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, FRS, Mathematical Institute and Wadham College, University of Oxford, and prominent anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, MD, Anesthesiology, Psychology and Center for Consciousness Studies, The University of Arizona, Tucson. They suggested that quantum vibrational computations in microtubules were “orchestrated” (“Orch”) by synaptic inputs and memory stored in microtubules, and terminated by Penrose “objective reduction” (‘OR’), hence “Orch OR.” Microtubules are major components of the cell structural skeleton.
Orch OR was harshly criticized from its inception, as the brain was considered too “warm, wet, and noisy” for seemingly delicate quantum processes.. However, evidence has now shown warm quantum coherence in plant photosynthesis, bird brain navigation, our sense of smell, and brain microtubules. The recent discovery of warm temperature quantum vibrations in microtubules inside brain neurons by the research group led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay, PhD, at the National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan (and now at MIT), corroborates the pair’s theory and suggests that EEG rhythms also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations. In addition, work from the laboratory of Roderick G. Eckenhoff, MD, at the University of Pennsylvania, suggests that anesthesia, which selectively erases consciousness while sparing non-conscious brain activities, acts via microtubules in brain neurons.
“The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?” ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review. “This opens a potential Pandora’s Box, but our theory accommodates both these views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules, protein polymers inside brain neurons, which both govern neuronal and synaptic function, and connect brain processes to self-organizing processes in the fine scale, ‘proto-conscious’ quantum structure of reality.”
After 20 years of skeptical criticism, “the evidence now clearly supports Orch OR,” continue Hameroff and Penrose. “Our new paper updates the evidence, clarifies Orch OR quantum bits, or “qubits,” as helical pathways in microtubule lattices, rebuts critics, and reviews 20 testable predictions of Orch OR published in 1998 — of these, six are confirmed and none refuted.”
An important new facet of the theory is introduced. Microtubule quantum vibrations (e.g. in megahertz) appear to interfere and produce much slower EEG “beat frequencies.” Despite a century of clinical use, the underlying origins of EEG rhythms have remained a mystery. Clinical trials of brief brain stimulation aimed at microtubule resonances with megahertz mechanical vibrations using transcranial ultrasound have shown reported improvements in mood, and may prove useful against Alzheimer’s disease and brain injury in the future.
Lead author Stuart Hameroff concludes, “Orch OR is the most rigorous, comprehensive and successfully-tested theory of consciousness ever put forth. From a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions. ”The review is accompanied by eight commentaries from outside authorities, including an Australian group of Orch OR arch-skeptics. To all, Hameroff and Penrose respond robustly.
Penrose, Hameroff and Bandyopadhyay will explore their theories during a session on “Microtubules and the Big Consciousness Debate” at the Brainstorm Sessions, a public three-day event at the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 16-18, 2014. They will engage skeptics in a debate on the nature of consciousness, and Bandyopadhyay and his team will couple microtubule vibrations from active neurons to play Indian musical instruments. “Consciousness depends on anharmonic vibrations of microtubules inside neurons, similar to certain kinds of Indian music, but unlike Western music which is harmonic,” Hameroff explains.

“In the well-known process where a photon converts into an electron and an antimatter electron, the photon field vibrations are transferred to the electron field, and two sets of vibrations are set up, one consistent with an electron vibration and the other consistent with the antimatter electron. “This idea of fields and vibrations explains how the universe works at a deep and fundamental level. These fields span all of space. Some fields can “see” other fields, while being blind to others.”
“The photon field can interact with the fields of charged particles but cannot see gluon or neutrino fields. On the other hand, a photon can interact indirectly with the gluon field, first by making quark vibrations which then make gluon vibrations. “It’s kind of like when two quarrelling siblings use a third to pass messages.” [Don Lincoln, Ref. next slide]
