The Brain as a Router for Consciousness
Dear Friend,
For many years, scientists did not consider the field of consciousness to be worthy of serious scientific exploration. What Professor David Chalmers has dubbed “the hard problem,” namely the subjective nature of the experience of consciousness, was a major stumbling block.[1] However, recently the field has opened and one of the aspects studied in this vast area has been how consciousness arises and becomes individualised. The resulting theories have been divergent, ranging from the concept that consciousness arises purely from neural activity in the brain to the concept that consciousness is part of the fabric of the universe and thus emerges from the very particles that make up the universe i.e. it is inherent.
Francis Crick, the “father of DNA” in a statement released posthumously in 2005, and supported by Christof Koch, a neurophysiologist and computational neuroscientist, described a largely ignored area of the brain, the claustrum, as the seat of all consciousness, as well as the conductor coordinating various cortical regions.[2] The etymology of the word claustrum means to be hidden away and similarly it is ‘hidden’ under the cortex – a small subcortical structure with widespread connections to disparate regions of the cortex. However, in 2022, researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine contested Crick and Koch’s theory, rather positing the claustrum as the router in our brain for consciousness,[3] as it seems to play a different role than stated in Crick’s assumption. According to Professor Brian Mathur, the claustrum is the “most highly connected structure in the brain”.[4] Most other organs work with one aspect of the senses, yet the claustrum appears to work on many different multisensory levels and is often reciprocal in both sending and receiving information.[5]
If the claustrum is as they say a router, let us look at the role of a router. Many of us have a router in our homes connecting us to the internet. There is often more than one device attached to the router and data packets are received and forwarded to the intended address. The router does not convert the information it receives, nor does it generate the information that it passes on to the multiple destinations. “Of course, seeing the claustrum as a router is more consistent with the immaterial nature of consciousness than seeing it as a seat,” says Denyse O’Leary.[6]
What energy is being referred to here? And how do we receive this? Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak believe that our entire body has receptor sites that process the higher levels of information as it comes in, but primarily:
…there are numerous cell structures in the body, but in essence the complexity of the data is coded through the RNA-DNA, the pyramidal brain cells, the ATP, the blood cells as well as the microtubules …[7]
The microtubules have become a key receptor site associated with the work of anaesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff and physicist Sir Roger Penrose who claim that consciousness is associated with the deep level, fine scale activities in the microtubules in brain neurons where quantum computations take place. They also recently expanded their research by observing how vibrating quantum “bits” (qubits) become as helical pathways within the microtubule lattices, reinforcing their “orchestrated objective reduction” (Orch OR) theory of consciousness.[8]
Likewise, Drs. Hurtak remind us frequently that the mind is localised in consciousness, consciousness is not localised in the mind! In fact, Dr. J.J. further describes the human body as a biotransducer in his book The Keys of Enoch® as:
Biotransducer subsystem ‘The human embodiment as a biological vessel used to process the thought-forms of advanced mental and spiritual intelligence so that transactional data can transform realities on the human plane. A biological device for converting energy from one form to another. (Acts 9:15; Rom. 9:20-23).[9]
It is thus clear that the “routers” in our brain do not generate consciousness but are important in directing information that we need to function in this world to the various parts of our brains and bodies as the research from the University of Maryland School of Medicine suggests. We, thus, become aware that far from consciousness being generated by the neural processes in our brain, or even the workings of our mind, we in fact are part of a greater cosmic Consciousness universe, even when we limit our awareness of this Consciousness.
Scientists who do not have an understanding of the multidimensionality of the greater Cosmos that we inhabit, will fall short in their understanding of the fullness of Consciousness. We realise that we have a vital role to play in transducing the higher Wisdom and Knowledge, that it may be of benefit to those around us. The more we raise our consciousness the more we become aware of the multidimensional Consciousness of which our personal consciousness is but a localised aspect. As Key 4-0-5:669 tells us: “Know that we are human generators for the Glory of the Divine. We are biotransducers created to raise up the energy of that which is “around” us.”
This means we also can receive Information from on High, sent to us by the Lords of Light from Higher Consciousness realms. In Key 4-0-7:445 we are told that “we are specifically designed for the receiving of higher levels of information, Knowledge and Revelation”.
Let us, thus, ask for an awakening to Higher Consciousness for all sentient beings. May we awaken our senses to higher perceptions influencing our consciousness. Let us break through our old consciousness programming to grasp multidimensional reality and break the bonds of our conditioned limitations and may the scientists awaken to the higher Metatronic Science, as we say:
