Creating Moments of Psychological Safety During Crisis: What the Neuroscience Says— In a crisis, the brain shifts into survival mode—unless leaders create small moments of psychological safety that bring us back to clarity, calm, and connection. These micro-interventions aren’t soft; they’re neuroscience.

Physicist proposes theory of consciousness – which could explain what happens when you die

A physicist has proposed a radical new theory of consciousness – and it could finally explain what happens when you die. 

Consciousness does not emerge from human brains, according to Professor Maria Strømme, a professor of nanotechnology at Uppsala University.

Instead, she claims that it exists as a fundamental field.

If this is correct, ‘mysterious’ phenomena such as telepathy, near–death experiences, and even life after death could finally be explained by science.  

According to Professor Strømme’s theory, consciousness does not end when we die.

Instead, when a person passes away, their consciousness simply returns to the background field.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Professor Strømme explained: ‘The possibility that consciousness is fundamental has been under–explored. But that is changing rapidly.

‘We are reaching a point where asking deeper questions about consciousness is not philosophy on the margins — it is becoming a scientific necessity.’

This is not a new theory in the modern world or the ancient.

This is what many thinkers are saying today and what Mind-Only Buddhism has always been saying.

The vocabularies available today—quantum fields, localization, non-local—allow us to make descriptions of conscious sharper for the modern mind.

Buddhist samadhi states (meditative states) may be thought of as the realization of the underlying quantum field of universal consciousness, or immersion of individual consciousness in that field or fields.

I personally think something like this is the actual structure of reality and why it is so important to live morally and have clear and honest mind.

I hope more understanding of human life along these lines, whether they are called Buddhist or not, will end human tribalism and the absurd values and beliefs that support it. ABN
