Brainworks: The Emergence of Consciousness in Brain, Body and Cosmos

James Beichler

The discipline of psychic studies was converted to parapsychology in 1930 when new lab techniques based on statistics and probability theory were used to explain ESP and similar phenomena of direct mind-to-mind or mind-to-material world contact. But the apparent probabilistic nature of paranormal phenomena reaching whole-brain cognition, though conscious mind of the recipient, is more a factor of intensity of the phenomenon, which depends on the importance of the paranormal signal to the person receiving it. It would normally just remain too weak a signal in the subconscious mind, and therefore, there is nothing probabilistic about the paranormal as thought. Despite the inherent downplay and abridging of the paranormal over the decades, it was bound to make a comeback because the paranormal is real and would not go away. So, new interests in the scientific concept of consciousness merged slowly by the 1970s and thereafter, when physicists became interested in PK phenomena, remote viewing (planned, directed, and purposeful clairvoyance), and other so-called psychic phenomena. They even referred to such phenomena as ‘anomalous’ rather than psychic or paranormal hoping that no one would notice, but changing the name of a thing does not change the thing itself in any way. Studying consciousness instead of the paranormal does not change anything, it just recognizes the truth that what is considered paranormal, including the afterlife and communication with the afterlife, is still a natural feature of consciousness and our world of physical reality.

As more and more scientists in general and physicists, in particular, became interested in consciousness during the last decades of the twentieth century, a new branch of science that brought physics and neurology or neurophysiology together began to develop with graduate degrees offered in the new academic discipline by the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century and labs dedicated to physics of the brain or neurophysics. One side is far too general and hands-on in its reductionistic approach and the other is far too esoteric and flighty, thinking only in the most general of terms, in its approach to understanding the brain and consciousness. That separation of approaches to essentially the same problem all changes below in the following theoretical model of how the brain functions based on a theoretical and a purely physical field-model of life, mind, and consciousness within a more comprehensive and truer physics and context of our experienced material/physical reality.

Professor Beichler has been teaching at the university and college level for more than four decades. He was ABD toward a Ph.D. in the History of Science and earned his Ph.D. in Theoretical Paraphysics in 1999. He has unified all of physics in a single field theory (SOFT) as well as physics of the brain to explain human consciousness and spirituality. He has written and published several books as well as more than seventy articles on these and related subjects.
