Okay here goes it:

(1) I've always seen parapsychology, remote viewing, and ESP as pseudoscience. But then I got involved in collaborations with Hameroff and his friends, and they all believe it. They also hook up with other scientists who receive grant money from the DOD for research on remote viewing, so maybe they're simply in it for the money. As I've mentioned before, I think Hameroff is a free-thinker and NOT in it for the money. Me? I'm slightly more mainstream than Hameroff, but I also consider myself a free-thinker.

(2) This idea of free thinkers astonishes me. Something you said, Clif, struck me. I've seen several videos of yours lately, so not sure in which one it appeared. Remote viewing is compatible with my version of quantum mind theory. As I've stated earlier, I believe the definition of human consciousness is: "an above-threshold spatio-temporal pattern of biophotonic energy that matches a template that already exists in the universe." During neural development, from conception to early adulthood, each idea (simple at first) provides the structure for more complex, more abstract ideas to assemble and change the neuro-architecture. This is bottom-up processing or development.

But there are also top-down influences that start shaping the brain's organization. No living neuroscientist knows where the hell those top-down concepts come from. The assumption is that the human mind creates higher abstract concepts, and miraculously billions of humans construct them similarly (yeah, right). Each idea feels like our own. The human skull does not permit photons to enter, so there is pretty much a black background upon which these "quantectomes" (my word) illuminate and we feel it. No need to go back to neural activity--this is the light of the mind. These spatio-temporal patterns of pure energy might be likened to the lines connecting the stars in the Milky Way, the Big Dipper, and Little Dipper. That's how I see them. (I want to add here that I am very embarrassed to have original thoughts and ideas, but I've had them since I was a little girl. My family makes fun of me. My son calls me a whack job, even though he loves me. Interestingly, my late husband was that kind of scientist who is respected because he always thought along with the mainstream--slightly creative, but not too much. I was told I ruined my late husband's credibility with my crazy ideas. But 30 years later, my theory of Alzheimer's disease still hangs together better than any other. And the FDA is approving drugs that they know don't work. I digress.)

(3) Back to free-thinking in the framework of my quantum mind theory. I see the human mind not as series of connectomes (maps of neurons firing together during a certain task as measured by functional imaging), but as a quantectome--series of electrons in tubulin pockets entangling triggered by biophotons activated by neural activity generating metabolic activity. Unlike the connectome, the quantectome is free to interact with "idea templates," consisting of floating spatio-temporal patterns of energies than CAN permeate the skull. Thoughts in our head are private because visible light energy is kept out. But the templates responsible for these ideas can pass through the skull because they are of different frequency. This concept works well for explaining language acquisition. Chomsky pretty much had the idea of universal language templates. But from where does original thought arise? Is it our mind that conceives it, or our mind that perceives it? Big difference, with major implications for patent protections. You can't patent ideas that nature created.

(4) Conclusion: Everyone is a psychic and everyone is a creative genius, but most people inhibit those functions in fear of social reprisals. These abilities are nonetheless observable in certain situations. Consider, for example, "trends." What makes everyone love the latest movie star or singer, or buy the latest fashions? These subtle cues circulate like wildfire.
