You guys might want to take this argument up with Sir Roger Penrose, Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford, one fo the most respected in his field, who (working with Stuart Hemmerof) is at the cutting edge in studying physics, neuroscience, and consiousness. His description is uncannily similar to the description Maharishi gives of how infinitessimally subtle impulses below the Planck scale, within the abstract and non-classical quantum field give rise to subtle thought in the brain and consequently the mind: QUOTE: "Approaches to understanding consciousness which are based on known and experimentally observed neuroscience fail to explain certain critical aspects. These include a unitary sense of binding, non-computational aspects of conscious thinking, difference and transition between pre-conscious and conscious processing, (apparent) non-deterministic free will and the essential nature of our experience. We conclude that aspects of quantum theory (e.g. quantum coherence) and of a newly proposed physical phenomenon of wave function self-collapse (objective reduction, OR, Penrose, 1994) offer possible solutions to each of these problematic features. We further conclude that cytoskeletal microtubules, which regulate intra-neuronal activities and have cylindrical paracrystalline structure, are the best candidates for sites of quantum action and OR, and of "orchestrated OR"(Orch OR). Accordingly, we present a model of consciousness based on the following assumptions: Coherent excitations (Fr&ounl;hlich pumped phonons) among microtubule subunits (tubulins) support "cellular automaton" information processing in both classical (conformational) and quantum coherent superposition modes. Classical processing correlates with non-conscious, autonomic activity; quantum processing correlates with pre-and sub-conscious activity." http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/penrose-hameroff/orchOR.html Pay particular attention to his coined phrase "Orchistrated Objective Reduction".
