Abstract
Near-death
experiences are a big challenge to the fields of science and philosophy; termed
as hallucinatory by neurologists and “stuff of which fantasies are made off” by
sceptics, there are some unique near-death experiences which defy these claims.
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 performs tasks beyond the
imagination of the current self; an energy created at the creation of all that
exists; a true supernatural force. This paper reviews a unique void near-death
experience and hypothesizes quantum entanglement to be involved in the conception
and storage of these energy-based memories in a quantum subatomic cloud which
can be restated if returned back to the body or lost to the environment upon
death.
Introduction
Be it the soul in
philosophy and religion; the psyche in psychology or the mind or consciousness
in science, there seems to be a resilient correlation or similarity with each
of these concepts, especially in relation to its preposterousness and
absurdity. From a scientific reductionist based perspective, if we reduce these
notions to pure energy generated at the level of subatomic particles that
exists all around us, it may seem unswerving. The problematical part is to
prove the ability of these entangled subatomic particles to create and store reminiscences
outside the body. Quantum studies are now revealing aspects in relations to subatomic
particle energy and its ability to perform beyond the imagination of what one
can accept and visualize. Quantum entanglement is a unique property in quantum
physics that best describes the mysterious behaviours that take place at a quantum
level with its effects observed at a macroscopic level (Peres 1993).
Near-death
experiences may be termed absurd by some and hallucinatory by many (Mobbs and
Watt 2011) but there sure is some depth of existence if we look at it from the
perspective of quantum generated energy; a pure subatomic energy that exists in
the unruly microscopic quantum world; an energy that supports the existence of what
we have been addressing as the soul, psyche, mind and consciousness; the oldest
form of energy created and present all through the cosmos. With consciousness
alone, multiple disciplines have attempted to pinpoint what consciousness is
precisely and the best academia has to offer at this point in time is the hard
and easy problems of consciousness.
Perhaps our lack of understanding of consciousness has inadvertently
ruled out the possibility that consciousness does, in fact exist in part
outside the brain-body. If it does exist etherically as a field of energy, this
may be a game-changer in terms of how we view this phenomenon of the near death
experience. This paper evaluates an
experience different from the mainstream and more typical accounts of the near
death experience in that this one was a positive void–based near-death
experience and attempts to hypothesize this experience to be a result of
quantum entanglement with the interference of the supernatural force that
exists beyond the dimensions of space and time (Harter 2014).
A
void-based near death experience
A near-death
experience occurs at the moment of anticipated death just before biological
death during which a patient is quite often clinically dead or very near death
(Schroter-Kunhardt 1993). Most of the near-death experiences studied and
evaluated are broadly categorized as positive and negative. Positive near-death experiences involve a
feeling of peace and tranquillity, a sensation of floating through a tunnel
towards a bright light with a complete life review, while a negative near-death
experience is more horrific, which is usually accompanied by unpleasant
feelings of fear and panic which may or may not be associated with a life
review (Blanke and Dieguez 2009). In both forms the most common and important
aspect of the experience is the ability to remember the experience as a reminiscence
post the experience.
Janice, whose
experience I would be sharing in this paper experienced a void near-death
experience, which was surprisingly a positive one along with a past and future
life review. This experience is definitely unique in comparison to other
near-death experiences and can bring in a correlation of her thoughts, memories
and experience with the mysterious quantum world that yet needs to be fully explored.
Since most near-death cases of the void are negative and associated with a
feeling of fear and darkness, her positive experience along with a future life
review is a unique experience which retained as a memory that changed her life post
the experience.
Her experience – She
was 36 weeks and 9 days pregnant and was completely healthy when she went into
labor in hospital. Upon
admission she was given a medication called Breathine (Turbutaine) and within
seconds of administering the drug intravenously, she felt her body temperature
rise and she passed out. Breathine is a bronchodilator,
which dilates the bronchial openings of the lungs by relaxing them for much
better flow of air in and out of the lungs. It was surprising that this drug was
administered despite of it not being recommended for treating prolonged (more
than 48 to 72 hours) premature labor. Fatal side effects, that includes fast or
irregular heartbeats, high blood sugar and low potassium levels, fluid
accumulation in lungs and heart attack have been reported after use in pregnant
women. While passing out she felt her heart beat stop and felt as if she had moved
from one reality to another while retaining conscious awareness. For her, the
time elapsed in the void seemed around 30 – 45 minutes which was actually 3 – 4
minutes hospital time, wherein the doctors considered the case as code blue and
administered a medication to counter act the first one, to revive her.
The reality that she experienced was a pure
black form of nothingness; a void space which somehow didn’t seem frightening
to her. She was curious to know whether she could feel her hands and legs but
there was none; she was aware that she was in a place of pure transparency. In
this state of transparency, she was consciously aware and was convinced that she
was out of her body as she felt lighter than what she would have felt in her heavy
physical body. The time spent in the dark void seemed eternal as she watched
the most important sequences of her life through a life review, which stopped
at a point where she had children and she could not perceive the review further.
In the void there was a presence of an entity with her; she could not see it
but could feel it as an inner voice, which she described as a tone. When her
life review was complete, this entity sent her a thought, “Are you ready to
go?” At that point of time, she was unaware of the reason why she was in the
hospital and therefore within the void she confided in the thought that was
sent to her by the entity and was ready to go at that moment, for in the void
she considered that she had done the best of everything in life.
The tone asked her whether she was sure to go
and then it showed her the moments that she had spent with her older children which
ended with her the baby that was not yet born and what she would look like when
she was 2 years old. Post the experience Janice gave birth to a girl and the
daughter resembled the same baby she was shown during the future life review,
the only thing odd was that during the review the two year old girl had
shoulder length blond curly hair which was turned out to be the case with her
daughter when she was two years old. This life review changed her thought; she
felt love; felt a sense of incompleteness which was not until the entity showed
her the future life review which was subdued within the void which seemed more
self-oriented. A longing for completeness of her life review lead the entity to
grant her wish and within a single spin of her heart beat she was back into her
body and she heard the voices of the hospital staff as they spoke of not disclosing
her state to her friends who were present during the event for fear of
upsetting her in her delicate condition.
Quantum entanglement as a reason for memory
retention post the near-death experience and the interference of the
supernatural force depicting the future
According to reductive science, matter is
nothing but a form of energy; an energy created by the bizarre. In quantum
physics when two particles are entangled they behave as one and not as two
separate particles, so what happens in the quantum world is completely
different from what we perceive in the macroscopic world, which also holds true
for the world of quantum biology. In an entangled state of sub atomic particles
there will be a constant exchange of energy between these particles which
somehow interacts with one another resulting in information gathering. Hameroff
and Chopra suggest that quantum entanglement of low-energy particles could
interact even outside the body suggesting a near-death experience; therefore
the existence of a quantum soul (Hameroff and Chopra 2012).
In order to justify this theory, we need to hypothesize
that the flow of energy within the body occurs through quantum interactions for
which the microtubular network is the ideal support framework that is known to quantum
compute information. Based on this hypothesis, it can be suggested that the information
gathering may occur as a result of quantum entanglement of the sub atomic
particles within the microtubules resulting in the formation of a subatomic
cloud that acts as a holographic image processor. The subatomic cloud of energy
is therefore in a constant state of exchanging energy with the cosmos with an
ability to retain memory through holographic processing to commute
consciousness. During a near death experience, a shutdown of the body may
result in a change in the state of this quantum entangled subatomic cloud of
energy wherein post shutdown the microtubules cease to compute consciousness
but the holographed memories, identity and cognition with emotion and function
remains intact within the sub atomic cloud, until the body can be revived or resuscitated.
The experience in the void for Janice was reportedly
beautiful as well as peaceful and these memories changed her life thereafter.
Based on the above hypothesis, her subatomic particle cloud, with her past
memories remained intact outside her body as she experienced her past a life
review. The most important memory to be noted in her experience was the
awareness of her being outside her body. Her curiosity to feel the presence of
her hands and legs assured her that she was in a state of pure transparency
which confirms her awareness within the void, where she could differentiate
between her physical and non-physical body; she could feel the presence of her
own subatomic energy cloud. Based on her experience it can be assumed that this
awareness was computed within the quantum entangled subatomic cloud outside the
body creating a holographic image within this cloud to be retained as a memory
which was reiterated when she was rescusitated.
The ability to see her life review of the
future was unique to her near death experience. Life reviews of the past has
been observed in many near death experiences and is surely a link to the
recalling of memories that may be stored as holographic images within the
quantum entangled particles within the microtubular network of the brain and
body. But a future life review is rare, especially when it comes true, which was
obvious in her experience. The image of her daughter before she was born during
the experience is more inclined to the presence of a supernatural form; a form which
creates experiences within and beyond the domains of space and time; a form who
resides over all possible dimensions; the symmetric form of light that created
all of what exists.
The beauty of such a memory lies in the image
created of something that does not exist; in this case the image of her
daughter was created and was holographed within her subatomic cloud to be stored
and to be observed in the future. A supernatural force may sometimes seem
irrational during such a scientific discussion but science sometimes does not
have an answer to every question and impetuses one to be more open to the
consideration of the possibility of a supernatural. This does not mean that
there is no science behind the supernatural; rather it is the supernatural that
utilizes science to make us appreciate our existence.
Experiencing the creation of the supernatural is the true appreciation of the
subjective experience of one’s consciousness, for like the supernatural, it
will always remain a beautiful mystery ( Pereira 2015).
Conclusion
Self-sustaining energy is the answer to all
mystical realties and the answer lies
in believing in its existence in and around all living beings; that which brings
in the awareness of one’s existence and which performs tasks beyond the
imagination of the current self awareness; an energy created at the creation of
all that exists; a supernatural force beyond our imagination. Near death
experiences cannot wholly be definitively referred to as hallucinations as they
do not correspond with such objective reality. For during a near-death
experience the brain is inactive and as of now there is no study that has
detected activity in the vision centre of the brain during a near-death
experience. A biophysical visual representational model has been developed to
show the involvement of low-energy quantum entanglements during near-death
experiences (Bokkon et al 2013).
The quantum world is mysterious; the entanglement
of particles at a subatomic level within a biological network of the
microtubules is where memories and awareness gets computed. The subatomic
energy cloud has the ability to perform within the system as well as outside
the system, which is clearly demonstrated during a near-death experience. Awareness
and memories is therefore fundamental; a form of energy that exists all around
us, created by the supernatural and computed by particles in the quantum world and
our bodies are like quantum processors that are an emerging creation meant to
increase its intelligence and build its identity. Memories can therefore be
created with and without the presence of a body; for it is computed within the
realms of the quantum world that lies beyond the imagination of oneself evident
during a near-death experience.
