How Consciousness Arises in a Universe of Matter

Have you ever wondered how consciousness arose in a universe of matter? You may in fact have stumbled upon the only place where you can find the true solution to this ancient mystery. Arrogance? I don’t think so. In over fifty years of analyzing this problem I have discovered a nugget of gold. I have learned that the thermoregulatory design of the brain allows for only one solution to the paradox of mind and matter; namely, that an image, and therefore consciousness itself, is the sole means by which the Second Law of Thermodynamics is contained and, with exact equivalence, creates order. The only remaining uncertainty is whether or not an image can in fact achieve this restraint. If it can be proven that it does, it becomes a fact that consciousness, meaningless apart from an image, is essential to the creation of matter — thereby proving the existence of a personal, biblically-defined God.

If you think it is possible to circumvent this reasoning, you do not understand how the temperature-regulating center of the brain, the focal center where heat and disorder are contained, is responsible for movement as bound to an image, the presence of which minimizes an expectancy gap — to which infinity is implicit and against which the self self sees itself as finite or “conscious.” The clincher is found in the way the visual system is connected to the brain’s thermoregulatory core and how this core modulates movement to produce an image.

Atheists should proceed at their own risk. After reading these essays or the book, Consciousness Finally Explained: A Perfect Synthesis of God and Brain, they will never again believe that God is irrelevant to science. And if they insist upon the universe being fundamentally objective they will have to confess that they do not exist! Fun reading (click on the Home tab above) for all who are willing to stretch their minds to the limit – while remaining anchored in real science and the many fascinating nooks and crannies of the brain.

 

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.
