Human consciousness is simply a state of matter, like a solid or liquid – but quantum | ExtremeTech

Thanks to the work of a small group neuroscientists and theoretical physicists over the last few years, we may finally have found a way of analyzing the mysterious, metaphysical realm of consciousness in a scientific manner. The latest breakthrough in this new field, published by Max Tegmark of MIT, postulates that consciousness is actually a state of matter, allowing us to scientifically tackle murky topics such as self awareness, and why we perceive the world in classical three-dimensional terms, rather than the infinite number of objective realities offered up by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Silence, by Eckhart Tolle

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. The transformation of human consciousness is a shift from time to presence, from thinking to pure consciousness. Presence is needed to become aware of the beauty, the majesty, the sacredness of nature – the mind needs to be still.  ~ Eckhart Tolle
