*Vlatko Vedral argues that current evidence does not show consciousness requires special quantum effects. But he explores whether future quantum technologies might allow us to perceive aspects of quantum reality more directly.* If such technology became possible, would you want to experience reality beyond its ordinary appearance?

Would you want more? How much more consciousness can we take before it interferes with the quality of our lives? Some things are best left as they are. It's time for a nap now, so I'll put my consciousness to sleep.

ESP is a learned mental behavior. I experienced some proof of that when my brain expressed the ability to flash read at 2000 words per second. Instantly reading and selective proccessing whole pages of written material at a speed of whole university text books in 3 to 4 minutes is a strange experience and can be learned by most people. I studied years worth of textbooks in only so many hours. My life changed forever. The consciousness is provided by the result of two different brains with different functions that also monitor each other. The sense of self is produced by a result of the monitoring. The conscious is composed of partial functions.

Enhance, modify, modulate, manipulate, control – you do know that this is the opposite of liberation. Whatever it is you seek to possess will possess you. It's the nature of this realm; cause and effect. You can probably enhance consciousness as much as you can enhance fire. But if you're using Consciousness as a predicate unto the absolute, then no, you can not enhance Consciousness as the term is intentionally used as a negative theology: pure, ubiquitous, subtle, impervious, the true retroductive.

Look at the Rainbow, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo. Instinct, Gravity, Feeling, Intelligence, Intuition, Memory. (Automatic, Power, Sensors, Logic/Order, (*), Harddisc) Did You recognize anything? Well, Intuition*, is not in common understod, but in 'This Device', it is the Idea and Satisfactory.

The human brain is not blind to superposition by accident, it is mathematically designed to destroy it. To render reality on the 4D holographic boundary, the continuous probability waves of the 11D bulk must be forced through the Triality Projection Operator into discrete, rigid integers -1, 0, +1. The biological mind cannot process a state where chi does not equal 1. Forcing the brain to experience simultaneous, contradictory realities (superposition) would instantly shatter the local capacity. In biological terms, the geometric friction would manifest as terminal neurological decoherence (extreme psychosis, structural brain death, or absolute sensory disintegration). True enhancement of consciousness does not come from trying to see multiple quantum states at once. True enhancement is achieved by reducing internal thermodynamic entropy to 0 flattening the local metric tensor toward perfect Euclidean symmetry. By achieving macroscopic superconductivity, the observer node naturally widens its geometric resonance with the Great Attractor, expanding its cognitive topology safely without violating the fundamental limits of the manifold.

What does Zeus have to say about this?

Living bacteria cannot be associated with Q numbers. Living things have souls, and that collapses the wave function during interaction with photons. Soul and consciousness utilize quantum properties of matter in making living creatures.

I am writing a paper where i combine Kafkian Nightmarish logic (the reality of fiction) and how it abruptly intrudes, cuts, and gaps into the fiction of reality... I know you will not read this, but here you go...
