quantum vibrations in microtubules corroborates theory of consciousness

"The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?" ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review. "This opens a potential Pandora's Box, but our theory accommodates both these views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules, protein polymers inside brain neurons, which both govern neuronal and synaptic function, and connect brain processes to self-organizing processes in the fine scale, 'proto-conscious' quantum structure of reality."

Tanner, that link is incredible. While likely analogous for balance and crystallisation, it resonates exceedingly deeply.

I often say "Whatever you do, do it with love", but this is so more practical:

It has been said that to find the path one must become the path. This is a profound notion, and directly relates to the subject at hand. Often people believe that the spiritual path is related to the things we do and the directional choices we make in life. Yet from the esoteric perspective, this is a misunderstanding of sorts. The path is not a journey based upon doing, but rather upon being. It is not governed by personality driven activity, but by an urge to be the authentic-self, filled with love and guided by wisdom and higher purpose. In truth, the path is an inner journey leading to the soul, while outer activity is simply a demonstration of the wisdom that the journey reveals. The outer life of doing is therefore a representation of one’s state of consciousness. As a person spiritually evolves, it becomes increasingly evident that the outer path is merely an effect. It is the product of consciousness, not the cause of it.
