Adventures In Consciousness

The first ten episodes of Adventures In Consciousness will enable you to begin understanding, in the context of the Nexus Theory of consciousness, the physical aspects of how your brain works to enable consciousness in you. You'll discover exactly how your own consciousness works locally in your brain as a tiny part of the larger Source of consciousness spanning the universe nonlocally and instantaneously. If you are a spiritual or religious person, this understanding could add a lot to that aspect of your life. If you are an atheist or agnostic, you'll learn about physical mechanisms you probably haven't considered before that you might find sufficiently explanatory for your own consciousness without invoking any articles of faith. After the first ten episodes we'll discuss a variety of wide-ranging topics relating to brains and consciousness, as well as continuing to take some deeper dives into the physiological mechanisms of Nexus Theory enabling consciousness in us.

In this Episode you'll learn about the biophotons that are emitted from all the living cells of your body, some of the special properties of light, and a little about holograms. This will prepare you for understanding further mechanisms of consciousness, as light and its characteristics are where it all begins.

This Episode presents a brief overview of the major parts of the human nervous system that you'll need to know about if you don't already. Most names for brain structures don't have common language equivalents, so we'll be getting a little bit into the weeds of scientific jargon. This Episode could be especially useful to you when you start looking at brain photos and drawings, and perhaps Google searching specific structures mentioned.

In this Episode we cover the general flow of information in your brain: how initial 'raw' sensory information is first presented to your consciousness through the thalamus at the center of your brain into your biophotonic holographic Nexus residing in your cerebral ventricles, and then that 'raw' perception is supplemented with interpreted information arriving shortly afterward from your cerebral cortex to provide learned meaning to your perceptions. BONUS: a simple experiment is described in this Episode through which you can perceive incoming 'raw' visual information followed shortly afterward by the interpreted information coming from cerebral cortex yourself. Please note: if you haven't already started looking at some labeled brain photos and drawings to see how it's laid out, now would be a good time to begin. It's a long process to sort out all the parts and their relationships with one another, but by starting with the structures mentioned in these Episodes you'll get a quick jumpstart to what's most important.

This episode explains how your nerve cells, called neurons, make connections called synapses with other neurons to transmit information from one neuron to the next, through changes in the electrical potentials between the inside and outside of neural membranes. It is important basic information that you'll need to understand how your brain works, but it isn't specific to Nexus Theory, so if you're a scientist or someone already familiar with these structures and functions, you can safely skip to Episode 6.

Cells must maintain their structures to properly perform their functions, and this Episode focuses primarily on the role of microtubules in maintaining the cell's internal structure called the cytoskeleton, and the importance of the cell cilia lining the cerebral ventricles in our brains in Nexus Theory.

This episode describes how the nonliving connective tissues surrounding and connecting cells are also important in understanding Nexus Theory by the theoretical ability of collagen fibers to guide biophotons throughout your body and brain. The results of the two experiments described in this Episode are published here: Simanonok, K.E. Elastooptic photon signal modulation in collagenic fiber optics of tendon. Biomaterials, Medical Devices, and Artificial Organs  11:83-92, 1983.

This Episode pulls together everything you've learned in the first seven episodes preceding this one about light, biophotons, holography, and the physical structures and functions of your brain needed to understand the construction of your holographic Nexus. The Nexus is a connection point for your consciousness to enter from the Source of consciousness, and that Source is described in the next Episode 9, Zero Point Energy, the Source of Consciousness, and Entanglement.

This Episode closes the loop of all the Episodes describing Nexus Theory so far, to describe the background energy of our holographically organized universe called the Zero Point Energy and how the Source of consciousness resides there, 'out of time' in its own frame of reference, because light experiences no time. The quantum physics property of Entanglement enables the holographic Source of consciousness spread across the universe to interact instantaneously with the localized holographic Nexus in the spaces of our brains.

This concluding Episode of Nexus Theory 101 reviews from an overall perspective the most important physical mechanisms of Nexus Theory covered in Episodes One through Nine and discusses some of their ramifications. If you are just starting out with Nexus Theory, please begin with Episode One to learn how your consciousness works in you.
