Scientists have also been able to manipulate atoms successively: they have broken them apart, rearranged them and reassembled them. Scientists have actually created new life forms (and patented them believe it or not). And as successful as science has been in manipulating DNA and the atoms of that comprise the human body, no one has figured out how to place these atoms together in such a way that they can create ‘consciousness’.
Is our ‘consciousness’ a form of electromagnetic phenomenon?
No, say the scientists. That would mean that our consciousness would be affected every moment of the day by the electromagnetic radiation that constantly surrounds us. It is a remarkable position taken by our science experts: our bodies and internal organs can be, and are, influenced by the electromagnetic radiations around us, but our consciousness cannot be, so they say, even though science experts do not know what consciousness is.
THE TWO I’S
In 1981, Nobel prize winner Dr. Roger Sperry of Cal Tech performed several surgeries in which he severed the two halves of the brain. After hundreds of tests on these patients, Dr. Sperry discovered that he could actually document two separate streams of consciousness in his patients.
According to Dr. Sperry: ‘The bisected brain began to suggest a wondrous monstrosity,
like a two-
Dr. Sperry’s research revealed the two brain halves work so well in unison that everyone believes they have only one brain and thus only one consciousness. The truth is: that’s not true. Neurosurgeon Joseph E. Bogen of the University of Southern California, famed neurologist Michael Gazzaniga of Cornell University Medical College and many other doctors and scientists believe that we really are two individuals.
That is why we find ourselves in turmoil almost every day. There are two streams of consciousness, two ‘I’s’ inside you who are fighting because they ‘see’ things differently. If we are lucky, the two ‘I’s’ agree, if not, we are in for a ‘bad hair’ day.
MIND GAMES
The dictionary tell us that ‘consciousness’ is ‘the waking state of the mind; the knowledge which the mind has of anything that is actually being experienced; awareness.’
In other words, if you are not aware of it, then you are not ‘conscious’ of it. For example, you are generally not aware of your breathing, however, when you take a deep breath, you are now aware of your breath and it has therefore entered your ‘consciousness’.
