Quantum Physics and Shamanism: The Bridge Between Science and Spirit
Have you ever wondered if there’s a connection between ancient spiritual practices and cutting-edge science? Recent research into quantum physics might just provide that bridge! A fascinating study on quantum vibrations in brain microtubules has sparked renewed interest in how consciousness works at a quantum level.
“Consciousness depends on anharmonic vibrations of microtubules inside neurons, similar to certain kinds of Indian music, but unlike Western music which is harmonic.” — Stuart Hameroff, Co-Author of the Orch OR Theory
This controversial theory, known as Orch OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction), proposes that our consciousness may arise from quantum processes within the brain. What does this mean for shamanism? Shamans have long believed in the interconnectedness of consciousness and the universe, and this research may provide a scientific explanation for those altered states of consciousness experienced during rituals and ceremonies.
Does Quantum Consciousness Support Shamanic Beliefs?
The idea that consciousness is not limited to the brain, but rather intertwined with the fabric of the universe, resonates deeply with shamanic practices. In ceremonies, shamans often use altered states of consciousness to access higher planes of existence or connect with universal energy. Could quantum vibrations be the key to explaining these mystical experiences?
