Imagine you control a drone. The drone observes its surroundings and transmits information back to you. However, instead of merely receiving data, you experience what the drone sees as if you were physically present. This conscious experience is not located in the drone, it exists in your consciousness. Now, what if our bodies function similarly? What if they are merely vessels operated by a conscious quantum field?

The Limitations of Classical Explanations

Many physicists argue that consciousness emerges from purely classical interactions in the brain. However, emergentism, a concept suggesting that complex properties arise from simpler interactions, fails to account for the nature of consciousness unless quantum mechanics is involved. Classical physics alone cannot explain subjective experience, free will, or the collapse of the wave function.

Renowned physicist Federico Faggin has delved deep into this enigma. Faggin, a pioneer in computational technology who worked on the first neural networks, initially believed that artificial intelligence could achieve consciousness. However, after decades of study, he concluded that mathematics itself is a construct of consciousness, making it inadequate for explaining the very phenomenon that created it.

The Implications of Quantum Consciousness

We may actually be on the verge of a revolution in our understanding of reality. Consciousness would not be an epiphenomenon of the brain but an intrinsic feature of the cosmos. This perspective could reshape fields as diverse as artificial intelligence, physics, and even spirituality.

While this theory is unconventional, history has shown that groundbreaking ideas often start as radical notions before becoming accepted truths. The journey to understanding consciousness is far from over, but one thing is clear: we must be willing to go beyond classical physics, beyond Schrödinger’s equation, and even beyond our current understanding of quantum fields to grasp the true nature of our existence.

The Connection to UAP

If you're wondering how this relates to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), the answer is profound: serious and qualified thinkers propose that consciousness is fundamental to physics rather than emerging from biological systems. This perspective naturally suggests mechanisms for psi phenomena, such as telepathy or remote viewing, that mainstream science has long dismissed.

This could explain reports of praying mantis-like entities communicating telepathically, or why some experiencers describe UAP craft as "alive." If our bodies serve as consciousness vehicles, and if consciousness is not confined to the brain, then it becomes conceivable that a craft could be constructed to be piloted by consciousness at a distance, untethered from a biological body. This idea aligns with countless accounts from experiencers who describe UAP interactions as being driven by some form of intelligent, non-local consciousness.

If consciousness transcends the body, then our reality is far more interconnected and profound than we ever imagined.
