Quantum Consciousness

Introduction
A trip from philosophy to todays quantum theories, from science to the understanding of our existance. Quantum got that one thing right! Time does not exist, except into our minds. Quantum got the second thing right aswell, connection of particles over distance in multiple spaces, something that the simple mind can hardly realize. But by seperating classical physics from the quantum theories, it only creates a gap between our human perception and the true essence of the world. Yet we are called to understand something that we cannot perceive with our basic senses, that translates into an overcomplicated quantum system, that the average person can hardly comprehent. Still, I ve always found quantum physics to be overly fashinating, they represent what I would call; a modern mind. But behind this modern mind, are the amazing attempts of scientists to explain the unexplainable.
Our consiousness is quite minimal when we consider the average understanding we have about the world and ourselves. And someone could directly disagree with that, claiming that our achievements thru the eons that have passed and going to pass, are a great proof of understanding the world that we live in and thus ourselves. Still the mysteries remaining are bigger than our findings, the missing links that lead into misinformation and disillusion. While at any moment, a new theory can reverse and even totally annihilate an older one, changing complately our prespective for the world. And last but not least, conservative parties that tend to hinder advancement of science.
Either way we are much better at observing the world from inside the box, than from outside. This is where I feel that quantum physics have taken a great step towards a new direction of quantum science, a free minded observation of the world, instead of the linear perspective of the classical physics. Still I feel that these two need each other in order to progress and many more.
So the middle line between quantum and classical worlds is consciousness as Mr. Stuart Hameroff MD would also say. With a few words I interpret this as the way we actually perceive the world. In one side, you have the quantum world or with a few words the true essence of our world and on the other side we have the human perception that leads into a conscious understanding of the world but always within the human perspective. So our consciousness is the middle line and thus our connection to the world and energy itself.
Now just to be honest, we dont really need quantum physics in order to understand that, consciousness is a trully simple concept. But it requires a scientific approach in order to analyze it and observe it in a more intellectual manner. See; the average person has the basic ability to understand its connection with the world, science has the tools to study it and only intuitively we can all overcome science or even our lack of high end education by simply trust our consciousness in order to succeed a higher degree of understanding.
In a personal manner, the ideas of quantum consciousness are something that I have realized before I even knew that quantum consciousness theories even existed. It was actually recently that I came across their theories and watched their videos. And it was for a good cause, as quantum consciousness theories appeared in my life at the moment that I trully needed it, as a reminder to never stop trusting myself and my intuitively way of understanding the world. They say sometimes that 1+1=2 and yes logic is something irrelevant from person to person and only relative to our level of consciousness which differ from person to person aswell, as various factors affect this level.
There is no much more to say for now. for those that are not familiar with the concept; you can read more on the Quantum Consciousness developement or watch the dvd series of various scientists explaining the idea and studies behind it, that can either buy from Quantum Consciousness dvd ; or for the non collectors, you can try to find the video series in youtube by searching more about quantum consciousness.
So we can agree that science has taken a small step towards understanding consciousness. Still there is long way to go.
