The concept of mind

In the on going co-evolution of matter with the vacuum's zero-point field, 
life emerges out of nonlife, and mind and consciousness emerge out of the 
higher domains of life. This evolutionary concept does not 'reduce' reality 
either to non-living matter (as materialism), or assimilate it to a 
nonmaterial mind (as idealism). Both are real but (unlike in dualism), 
neither is the original element in reality. Matter as well as mind evolved 
out of a common cosmic womb: the energy-field of the quantum vacuum. The 
interaction of our mind and consciousness with the quantum vacuum links us 
with other minds around us, as well as with the biosphere of the planet. It 
'opens' our mind to society, nature, and the universe. This openness has 
been known to mystics and sensitives, prophets and meta-physicians through 
the ages. But it has been denied by modern scientists and by those who took 
modern science to be the only way of comprehending reality. Now, however, 
the recognition of openness is returning to the natural sciences. Traffic 
between our consciousness and the rest of the world may be constant and 
flowing in both directions. Everything that goes on in our mind could leave 
its wave traces in the quantum vacuum, and everything could be received by 
those who know how to 'tune in' to the subtle patterns that propagate 
there. This assumption is borne out by the empirical findings of 
psychiatrists such as Stanislav Grof. They confirm the insight of Vaclav 
Havel: it is as if something like an antenna were picking up signals from a 
transmitter that contains the experience of the entire human race.
