About Glenn Dudley

GLENN DUDLEY became interested in the mind-body problem as a Pre-Med student at the University of Colorado where he emphasized studies in physics, philosophy, and Judeo-Christian theology. He received his M.D. degree from the University of Colorado in 1969. After a mixed Psychiatry/Medicine internship, he worked for two years at MIT's Neurosciences Research Program -- a think tank whose objective was that of understanding how the hard-wiring of the nervous system mediates thought and emotion. Then, he spent a year in the Department of Psychiatry at Tufts Medical School in Boston reviewing the world's literature on psychological and emotional predispositions to cancer. From 1975 to his retirement in 1998 he practiced primary care medicine.

God and Orgasms

The neurophysiology of an orgasm parallels the sequence of cosmic events responsible for the death of a star – known as a supernovae. The word “orgasm” refers to death. Since we are made in the image of God, it is probable – I would say a certainty – that God, who is light, experiences orgasmic […]

The Hard Question of Science — Resolved!

How do elementary sensations – qualia – become conscious? First, it must be true that we live and have our very being in God – insofar as this is the only way to explain the origin of the light which constitutes consciousness, i.e., the light which illuminates one’s bubble of awareness which in turn surrounds […]

Consciousness and Acceleration Toward Nonexistence

The underlying anatomy of consciousness cannot have arisen from matter by chance mutational events. The gist of the reasoning is that in a personal universe an image is literally the means by which the Second Law is contained (see other essays) – thanks to an image’s expectable and therefore matchable specificity and the fact that […]

Consciousness Depends upon Jesus

Apart from Jesus the brain cannot be either logically or scientifically explained. My reasoning has to do with God being biblically defined as “light.”[1] Consider: light is meaningless apart from an observer. But there is more to this reasoning as it becomes apparent from the logic of the brain that Jesus is much more than […]

Consciousness Explained

It makes very little sense to think of consciousness as miraculously and mysteriously emerging from matter apart from the preexistence of God “in whom we live and move and have our being.”[1] Every image is bound to the way core energy-regulating nuclei modulate movement in creating or sustaining an image as expected through instants of time […]

Qualia Explained

What are Qualia? How do they become conscious?–a mystery referred to as the “hard question” of science. But perhaps a more fundamental question is that of how and why mind exists in the first place–in what would appear to be a materialistic universe. Well, it turns out that consciousness is intrinsically linked to mass and […]

God is Light

The integration of theology and neuroscience allows for a breakthrough in our understanding of consciousness, teaching that consciousness cannot be an emergent property of matter but that, instead, our personal bubble of awareness is an ongoing relationship to God, quite literally a contrast between the finite and weightless infinity. Indeed, the design of the brain makes it […]

Does God Exist?

By what logic can we conclude that an eternal and transcendent God exists and is fundamental as contrasted with the belief that matter is fundamental and came from nothing. Physicists claim that it is possible for matter to come from nothing but then proceed to explain that nothingness is seething with activity including quantum fluctuations […]

Mind, Matter and God

Explaining Mind in a Universe of Matter The neurological evidence goes deep to prove that an image, thanks to its expectable finitude (or boundedness), is the sole means by which a universal tendency toward increasing disorder (the Second Law) is restrained – with the understanding that infinity (and/or nonexistence) is implicit to the momentary absence […]
