Human development II: We Need an Integrated Theory for Matter, Life and Consciousness to Understand Life and Healing

Abstract

For almost a decade, we have experimented with supporting the philosophical development of severely ill patients to induce recovery and spontaneous healing. Recently, we have observed a new pattern of extremely rapid, spontaneous healing that apparently can facilitate even the spontaneous remission of cancer and the spontaneous recovery of mental diseases like schizophrenia and borderline schizophrenia. Our working hypothesis is that the accelerated healing is a function of the patients brain-mind and body-mind coming closer together due to the development of what we call “deep” cosmology. To understand and describe what happens at a biological level, we have suggested naming the process adult human metamorphosis, a possibility that is opened by the human genome showing full generic equipment for metamorphosis. To understand the mechanistic details in the complicated interaction between consciousness and biology, we need an adequate theory for biological information. In a series of papers, we propose what we call “holistic biology for holistic medicine”. We suggest that a relatively simple model based on interacting wholenesses instead of isolated parts can shed a new light on a number of difficult issues that we need to explain and understand in biology and medicine in order to understand and use metamorphosis in the holistic medical clinic. We aim to give a holistic theoretical interpretation of biological phenomena at large, morphogenesis, evolution, immune system regulation (self-nonself discrimination), brain function, consciousness, and health in particular. We start at the most fundamental problem: what is biological information at the subcellular, cellular, and supracellular levels if we presume that it is the same phenomenon on all levels (using Occam's razor), and how can this be described scientifically? The problems we address are all connected to the information flow in the functioning, living organism: function of the brain and consciousness, the regulations of the immune system and cell growth, the dynamics of health and disease. We suggest that life utilizes an unseen fine structure of the physical energy of the universe at a subparticular or quantum level to give information-directed self-organization; we give a first sketch of a possible fractal structure of the energy able to both contain and communicate biological information and carry individual and collective consciousness. Finally, thorough our analysis, we put up a model for adult human metamorphosis.

Human Development XIII: The Connection Between the Structure of the Overtone System and the Tone Language of Music. Some Implications for Our Understanding of the Human Brain

“…Our analysis of music seems to confirm our understanding of the brain as presented in an earlier paper [10]. Seemingly, the functioning brain behaves like one highly-structured, but extremely coherent, ball of energy, making the idea of a quantum field that carries the consciousness very likely [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]. If that is the case, then the structure of the experience of music might be a quite unique window into a hidden quantum reality of brain and life.…”

Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Measures: There are Still Many Unanswered Questions about Human Life

“…The correct modeling of these concepts is fundamentally important and universally relevant as exemplified by possible applications in the fields of patient-centered medicine, holistic medicine, end-of-life care ("transition" medicine), and translational medicine (which translates basic and clinical research into HRQOL improvement) [5,6,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]. Other relevant fields are palliative care; medical humanities and philosophy; ethics of abortion, euthanasia, and cloning; medical robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-machine interface; and therapy with neuroimplants [11,13,14].…”

“…Is it in the mind or the brain? In OBEs, which are said to occur in one out of every 10 people with many hundred spontaneous OBE stories detailed on the OBE website, which aspect of man observes the other as another body [17,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39]?…”

Holistic Medicine between Religion and Science: A Secularist Construction of Spiritual Healing in Medical Literature

“…89 It must be said, however, that in New Age science, quantum healing, for instance, does not figure as prominently as it does in the academic literature analyzed in this article and thus the central concepts and models of quantum healing are less thoroughly developed. 90 We attribute it therefore 90) Rademacher,Wissenschaftsbild,[79][80] A. Koch and S. Binder / Journal of Religion in Europe 6 (2013) to an independent secularist discourse on spiritual healing based on high quality research among natural sciences.…”

“…Others start with spontaneous healing and explain it in terms of a "deep cosmology" that unites brain-mind and body-mind to form a whole. 80 They say that the human genome offers the possibility of a holistic biology for holistic medicine. Here, too, the biological information is processed on the quantum level.…”
