A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible.Beyond time and space
Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.
But not so long ago, the scientist became involved
with 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. Biocentrism
teaches that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe. It is consciousness that creates the material
universe, not the other way around.
Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter.
He also claims that space and time are not objects or
things, but rather tools of our animal understanding. Lanza says that we carry space and time
around with us “like turtles with shells.” meaning that when the shell comes
off (space and time), we still exist.
The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies.
But if the body receives consciousness in the same way
that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does
not end at the death of the physical vehicle. In fact, consciousness exists
outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the
human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense
that quantum objects are non-local.
Lanza also believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. In one universe, the body can be dead. And in another it continues to exist, absorbing consciousness which migrated into this universe.
This means that a dead person while traveling through
the same tunnel ends up not in hell or in heaven, but in a similar world he or
she once inhabited, but this time alive. And so on, infinitely. It’s almost like a cosmic Russian doll
afterlife effect.
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 the physicists and astrophysicists who tend to agree with existence of parallel worlds and who suggest the possibility of multiple universes. Multiverse (multi-universe) is a so-called scientific concept, which they defend. They believe that no physical laws exist which would prohibit the existence of parallel worlds.The first one was a science fiction writer H.G. Wells who proclaimed in 1895 in his story “The Door in the Wall”.
And after 62 years, this idea was developed by Dr. Hugh Everett in his graduate thesis at the Princeton University. It basically posits that at any given moment the universe divides into countless similar instances. And the next moment, these “newborn” universes split in a similar fashion. In some of these worlds you may be present: reading this article in one universe, or watching TV in another.Our souls are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe – and may have existed since the beginning of time. Our brains are just receivers and amplifiers for the proto-consciousness that is intrinsic to the fabric of space-time. So is there really a part of your consciousness that is non-material and will live on after the death of your physical body?
Dr Hameroff told the Science Channel’s Through the Wormhole documentary: “Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state. The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large”. Robert Lanza would add here that not only does it exist inthe universe, it exists perhaps in another universe.If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says “I had a near death experience”‘
He adds: “If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”
This account of quantum consciousness explains things
like near-death experiences, astral projection, out of body experiences, and
even reincarnation without needing to appeal to religious ideology. The energy of your consciousness potentially
gets recycled back into a different body at some point, and in the mean time it
exists outside of the physical body on some other level of reality, and
possibly in another universe.
