Question:
Hello Dr. Chopra, I follow you on twitter and love your quotes. I watched one of your videos about our consciousness being part of the universal consciousness and therefore not the same thing as our brain and its activities, but rather our true self is the creator of the brain and the actions it preforms. In that video you gave an example of us imagining a flower, let's say a rose, and even so we see the rose but no picture of it seen in our brain. What we find in the brain is just electrical and chemical activities. I must point out that I truly believe that our spirit is not the same as our brain and your view on this is valid and correct because my personal experience supports that. My question is that if by any chance sometimes in the future scientists, by employing the more advanced technology were able to translate those brain activities(while we are imagining the rose) into the same picture of the rose that we see, WHAT WOULD THAT DISCOVERY MEAN TO US. I thank you in advance for taking the time to go over my question and look forward to knowing your answer to it.
Response:
If neuroscientists were able to mathematically understand brain activity as a kind of quantum brain functioning that followed the algorithms of image generation the way that certain present mathematical formulas are able to generate 3 dimensional images from captured moving images, then we would be on the way to having a scientific basis for understanding how our immaterial consciousness generates the neural activity that gives us the image of a rose. In other words, how our consciousness creates our experience of the world. This is not pure speculation as there is are researchers working on these very issues.

Unfortunately scientists at CERN had to admit that neutrinos do not travel faster than light as yet. They made a mistake in their calculations. This has been in all the papers in Europe with the accompanying message that Einstein still is `right` :)But search goes on and who knows they might find a Higgs boson as yet......
Here is a link to a beautiful video about the "Mandelbrot set" the Infinite colours of the Universe: http://www.cultureunplugged.com/play/7863 Already in the nineties there were fractal programs available in which you could type certain mathematical formula`s that created numerous beautiful patterns. So now it is unfolding towards a neuroscientifical understanding of how the brain combines those patterns into images........
