For centuries people have been trying to find a working model that would explain consciousness. And in recent times little progress has been made when trying to explain how a non-material consciousness can emerge from the material human brain.
I know my model has no appeal, but can I suggest this problem can be better explained if we think of consciousness as being part of the reproductive system of an external creator species; (i.e. that human consciousness, our human souls, are the male reproductive cells of a creator species). If anyone cares to look past the yuk factor, then it actually makes a lot of sense.
The following outlines some parallels between consciousness and human male sperm cells:
The barrier:
We cannot explain why we appear to be alone in the universe. There are for example one hundred billion stars and one hundred billion galaxies - and likely billions of habitable planets existing throughout the universe. Yet despite the likelihood of countless habitable planets having been formed billions of years before us there is no evidence of any complex life existing elsewhere in the universe. This is sometimes referred to as the Fermi Paradox or the great filter.
It is sometime suggested that none of the other billions of possible universal life forms managed to develop to a stage where they could leave evidence of their existence. This however is extremely unlikely when we consider our human species went from a stone age civilisation to the space age in what is just a cosmological blink of the eye. More likely we suggest, there exists a type of barrier between our human consciousness and the external beings that created us. Similar to the barrier that separates a species germ-line from the somatic cells that build body parts. Germ-line cells, eggs in females and sperm cells in males, only have a single copy of the species genome and do not code for building body parts. This barrier is called the Weismann Barrier and it prevents future generations of a species from producing exact copies of their parents. Likewise, we believe our human souls are the reproductive sperm cells of an external species. That there is a ‘Cosmic Weismann Barrier’ preventing our consciousness from producing exact copies of the beings that created us. Like our own reproductive system, we need to find new and novel ways to evolve our parent species so that they will survive and adapt to the ever-changing environments in which they exist.
Coherence:
It has been demonstrated that observation of a quantum particle is both instant and universal. Thus, there is an interconnection between consciousness and the greater universe. Likewise, there is coherence between inseminated sperm cells and the female body hosting them.
Information:
The accumulation and processing of information has been critical for the survival of our species – and will also be critical for our future survival. Sperm cells also carry a lot of information. Male gametes carry a complete copy of the human genome. That is 3.1647 billion nucleotides - only 2% of which codes for building body parts.
Gender:
Our consciousness has gender. We are either male or female. While there are some crossovers there are definitely male and female personality traits. There are also the left and right hemispheres of the human brain. And male sperm cells are either maternal or paternal.
Cyclical:
There are many mysterious ancient buildings and artefacts that historians cannot explain – suggesting of course that numerous earlier civilisations have come and gone. Sperm cells are also cyclical. Once inseminated into the female body they only live for a few days – and eventually all will die.
Have a purpose:
It is unfortunate that many scientists attribute no purpose to human consciousness. It is said by many that there is no source to our creation and no meaning to our existence. This of course is total nonsense for even the matter, the heat and the complexity need a creator. Like our male sperm cells, we have a creator. We are the reproductive agent of a creator species. And like our male sperm cells we have a job to do. While our germ-line needs to carry forward physical traits that will help us survive and adapt – I expect it is the traits of quality and strength of character that our parent species are looking for.
There are likely a myriad of spatial and time dimensions we cannot see or comprehend. Attempting to rationalise the universe is like inseminated sperm cells trying the comprehend the female bodies that host them.
