3) Dream Telepathy: Toward An Understanding of Memory, Consciousness and Psi

By 1986 my way of understanding memory and consciousness had developed into this thesis: the internalization of the external, represented by the brain's translation of physical sense data into silent brain language, and the externalization of the internal, represented by the brain's cognitive rsponse to physical sense data suggests this:

"If physical sense data [which I now realize also includes information or information fields and cognitive phenomena are invarient equivalents, what tells us that memory is stored within the neuronal activity of the brain and not within the electro-magnetic wave frequencies external to the brain? [A slight variation of this, I now realize that were memory or consciousness might really be stored has less and possibly nothing at all to do with any kind of physical energy as we now presently conceive of it. Instead memory and consciousness may be stored entirely in these information fields and/or what Sheldrake has referred to as morphogenetic fields. In other words,] what tells us that what appears to be the storage of a superimposition of resonating neuronal patterns within the brain may be nothing but a reflection of these same invarient resonating processes pervading the quantum potential wave forms representing the motion of the univrese as a whole? It is our metaphysical assumptions founded on dualism supported by monistic materialism that tells us memory is stored inside the brain and not outside the brain, [and] nothing more" (Schroll: 250, 1987).

Nevertheless, by referring to "the motion of the universe" in my attempt to define the relationship between memory and consciousness, I have already contradicted the point I was trying to make regarding the conceptual difference and more linguistically precise use of the term "holoflux" instead of "holomovement." (A more complete discussion of holoflux and holomovement is in another blog on this site). It is not "motion" that is involved, but our becoming aware of the relationship between our physical brain and the infinite state of potentia, whose probabilities of manifest forms are chosen through our decisions. (See my blog on "Libidio's Casino" for more discussion on the role of decision and choice).
