The Quantum Hologram Theory of Consciousness as a Framework for Altered States of Consciousness Research

The Quantum Hologram Theory of Consciousness (QHTC) proposes that consciousness is non-local and that altered states can reveal how the mind operates in multiple ways. Drawing on Schrödinger's idea that the quantum wave function is a field of consciousness, QHTC extends holographic theories of the brain: the brain processes images into interference patterns, like a laser hologram, and then reconstructs them into virtual images. These quantum waves store vast information, which the brain uses to construct three-dimensional reality. The article argues that QHTC should be the main framework for research on altered states of consciousness and discusses methods for gathering data and entering altered states for experiments.

Abstract

We can learn more about how our reality is made and what non-ordinary states of consciousness are by studying the Quantum Hologram Theory of Physics and Consciousness (QHTC). The QHTC says that consciousness is not local and that altered states of consciousness can help us understand how our minds work in more than one way. That's what Schrödinger thought. He thought that the quantum mechanical wave function was a field of consciousness. QHTC is based on holographic theories for human consciousness. These theories say that the brain works like a hologram and that it processes images into interference patterns that are then turned into virtual images, just like a laser hologram. These quantum waves can store a lot of information, which our brains use to make our three-dimensional world. This article says that this last theory should be the main framework for research on altered states of consciousness, and it talks about how to get data for analysis and how to get into an altered state for possible experiments.
