A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“, published in the USA, has stirred up the Internet because of the notion that life does not end when the body dies and can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Robert Lanza, has no doubts that this may be possible.
Beyond time and space
Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director at Advanced Cell Technology Company. While he is known for his extensive research on stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.
But not so long ago, the scientist turned his attention to physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since.
The theory implies that death simply does not exist. It is an illusion which arises in the minds of people. It exists because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking that their consciousness will disappear too.
In fact, consciousness exists outside of the constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. That fits well with the basic postulates of quantum mechanics, according to which a certain particle can be present anywhere and an event can happen in several, sometimes countless, ways.
Lanza believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. These universes contain multiple ways for possible scenarios to occur. In one universe, the body can be dead. And in another it continues to exist, absorbing consciousness which migrated to this universe.
This means that a dead person while traveling through the ‘tunnel’, ends up in a similar world he or she once inhabited, but this time alive. And so on, infinitely.
Multiple Worlds
This hope-instilling but extremely controversial theory by Lanza has many unwitting supporters – not just ‘mere mortals’ who want to live forever, but also some well-known scientists. These are physicists and astrophysicists who tend to agree with the existence of parallel worlds and who suggest the possibility of multiple universes, known as the Multiverse theory.
Science fiction writer H.G. Wells was the first to come up with this concept, which was proposed in his story “The Door in the Wall” in 1895. 62 years after it was published, the idea was developed by Hugh Everett in his graduate thesis at the Princeton University. It basically states that at any given moment the universe divides into countless similar instances.
And the next moment, these “newborn” universes split in a similar way. You may be present in some of these worlds – you may be reading this article in one universe or watching TV in another.
The triggering factor for these multiplying worlds is our actions, explained Everett. When we make certain choices, one universe instantly splits into two different versions of outcomes.
In the 1980s, Andrei Linde, a scientist from the Lebedev Physical Institute in Russia, developed the theory of multiple universes. He is now a professor at Stanford University.
Linde explained: “Space consists of many inflating spheres, which give rise to similar spheres, and those, in turn, produce spheres in even greater numbers, and so on to infinity. In the universe, they are spaced apart. They are not aware of each other’s existence. But they represent parts of the same physical universe.“
The fact that our universe is not alone is supported by data received from the Planck space telescope. Using the data, scientists created the most accurate map of the microwave background, the so-called cosmic microwave background radiation, which has remained since the inception of our universe. They also found that the universe has a lot of anomalies represented by black holes and extensive gaps.
Theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton from the North Carolina University argues that the anomalies of the microwave background exist due to the fact that our universe is influenced by other universes existing nearby. And holes and gaps are a direct result of attacks from neighboring universes.
Soul quanta
So, there is an abundance of places or other universes where our soul could migrate after death, according to the theory of neo-biocentrism. But does the soul exist?
Professor Stuart Hameroff from the University of Arizona has no doubts about the existence of an eternal soul. Last year, he announced that he has found evidence that consciousness does not perish after death.
According to Hameroff, the human brain is the perfect quantum computer, and the soul, or consciousness, is simply information stored at the quantum level. It can be transferred, following the death of the body; quantum information carried by consciousness merges with our universe and exists infinitely. In his turn, Lanza proves that the soul migrates to another universe. That is the main difference his theory has from the similar ones.
Sir Roger Penrose, a well-known British physicist and expert in mathematics from Oxford, supports this theory and claims to have found traces of contact with other universes. Together, the scientists are developing a quantum theory to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. They believe that they have found carriers of consciousness, the elements that accumulate information during life and “drain” consciousness somewhere else after death.
These elements are located inside protein-based microtubules (neuronal microtubules), which previously have been attributed a simple role of reinforcement and transport channeling inside a living cell. Based on their structure, microtubules are best suited to function as carriers of quantum properties inside the brain. That is mainly because they are able to retain quantum states for a long time, meaning they can function as elements of a quantum computer.
That concept is very hard to wrap my head around. Why don’t we remember our earlier “impersonations” after death, in new “lives”? Why dont we experience or collect information?
Answer to your last question – deja vu?
Simple, there is nothing to remember because we moved on and the memories are our own. I believe that when we dream it is actually our other selves living in other worlds. When we die it is seamless and we don’t even know it has happened. Research the Mandella effect, that explains it all and you will be shocked by how all this comes together.
Yes, even remembering does not exist.
Yes we do remember but the universes we are shifting from are way to similar.Have you ever had a dream in which you die and than you wake up like nothing happened what do you think where are those vivid dreams coming from.Have you ever had a feeling of total sleep paralysis ringing in your ear seeing a tunnel you go trough in your sleep this familiar shape well if you ever did than it means you died in some other similar universe.
Well i’ll say this; there’s a reason why some of us humans are smarter than others and seem to know so much about something more so than others. I think those people lived some earlier life and those experiences (and knowledge) from those lifetimes are manifesting in them. They learnt a lot from earlier lives and (without knowing) have brought those lessons learned into this life. you could say their souls or consciousness are older than others.
While a cool idea, especially for those with axiety of death that don’t believe in religion, it obviously has some issues. The first and foremost being when did it start? What happens when the universe finally goes cold and the last atomic particles decay? There will nothing left for your consciousness to exist in.
As time passes, it passes in each of these universes as described, you continue living. These universes all have a finite time to be around.
I believe in God and also somewhat believe that this could be fact. Remember God does not tell us everything!
Believing in God is a box wrapped nice and tight and prevents you from knowing the truth… Had religion and God never come around think of how much advancements in Science and Technology we would have by now… We would probably already know the answer to this debate 😒
Consciousness is not a product of physical processes. The brain is to consciousness as a TV set is to a television show. Our focus is on the TV set. When we die our focus is removed from the TV set and returns to the TV studio. Consciousness is entirely nonphysical and is eternal.
Thoughts can get sick and have disorders, but consciousness itself never gets sick and has no known disorders. People never have more than one consciousness, it always operates at the same speed which we perceive as time. Consciousness therefore transcends the physical world, is entirely nonphysical and eternal. The physical world is imagined by God’s consciousness, and that includes our brain. The brain is an essentially inanimate object, and has no free will, but is bound by the laws of physics. And for this reason being “alive” is the deadest you will ever be. When your consciousness returns to its source, it is returning to a place that is more real than this reality, like a TV signal returning to the TV studio as opposed to watching the TV show on a TV screen, which is the brain. Don’t get confused that the TV show originates in the TV itself. That’s where many scientists get it wrong.
The Universe is not physical. It is within the One Mind all who are aware, share. As Albert Einstein says and Quantum Mechanics proves, Time & Space are constructs of mind. The Kingdom really is within.
Is it fair to assume that what we call “consciousness” is a manifestation of quantum interactions occurring in our atoms? Is this the soul? Assuming this to be correct, the soul is beyond space and beyond time.
The larger question is: where did it all come from? I cannot believe the “Big Bang” theory that everything came from nothing. There had to be a creator. Things like automobiles just did not pop into existence. They had to be designed, manufactured, and delivered.
That being said, in the Quantum Universe, things DO pop in and out of existence. One particle can be at two places simultaneously. The mere act of observing an experiment, changes the result.
The laws of physics get very murky at the Quantum level hence the inabilty to produce a Unified Theory of Everything
I can’t understand
I believe in this concept, but I still find it discomforting. Having recently lost my mother quite suddenly I want to believe that she is still around in as a form of consciousness that I will recognize when my consciousness is released.
