Abstract

This work seeks to make an argument for whether the absolute vacuum, the nonspatial and nontemporal fifth dimension where all the particles and forces, which created/creates the material worlds of the multiverse, are one, as conceived in Mocombe’s overall theories of phenomenological structuralism and consciousness field theory, is equivalent to the concept of God.  I argue that the Absolute Vacuum is more akin to the yin-yang concept in Taoism or the pantheism of Haitian Vodou than it is to the concept of God as conceived in the Abrahamic religions, for examples.

Introduction

In the philosophy of religion, the concept of God is understood by 1) anthropomorphizing its attributes; 2) via negative theology (via negativa), by saying what it is not; 3) or by remaining silent on the attributes given the unimaginable and incomprehensible nature of God.  This work seeks to make an argument for whether the absolute vacuum, the nonspatial and nontemporal fifth dimension where all the particles and forces, which created/creates the multiverse, are one, as conceived in Mocombe’s overall theories of phenomenological structuralism and consciousness field theory, is equivalent to any of the concepts of God highlighted in the philosophy of religion.  I argue that the absolute vacuum, as it pertains to consciousness and God, is more akin to the yin-yang concept in Taoism or the pantheism of Haitian Vodou than it is to the concept of God as conceived in the Abrahamic religions, for examples.  Moreover, early human’s emphasis on animism and ancestor veneration more so speaks to the nature and origins of consciousness in the absolute vacuum than how God and the soul are conceived in the Abrahamic religions. 

Background of the Problem  

In human ontological and epistemological paradigms, the atheistic position about the creation of the world assumes that it (the world/universe) has always existed and emerged out of nothing and will go on to exist ad infinitum.  This is usually juxtaposed against the concept of God who has been attributed with creating the universe and world either out of itself/himself/herself, pantheism, or by standing outside of spacetime to create the world and everything within it out of nothing or the manifestation of God’s words.  Mocombe’s (2019, 2021a, 2021b) phenomenological structuralism and consciousness field theory assumes the atheistic position at the expense of all the God-centered paradigms.  Albeit there are similarities between the pantheistic concept, which attributes the creation of the universe/world to a Being that created the world out of itself and Mocombe’s (2021a, 2021b) concept of the absolute vacuum, which suggests that the latter exists as a fifth-dimensional probability wavefunction that creates the multiverse and its worlds ad infinitum.   The similarities emerge from Mocombe positing consciousness as a fifth force of nature with an elementary (carrier) particle, psychion, that reproduces consciousness throughout the multiverse via the absolute vacuum.  This latter position begs the question of what is the ontological basis of consciousness when it is in the absolute vacuum with the other forces of nature?  Does it remain individuated as we find it in material worlds, or epiphenomenally aggregate to form a super force, which is God like?  In this paper, I offer a speculative response to the aforementioned questions by concluding that consciousness in the absolute vacuum is individuated just like in material reality, evidenced by paranormal and parapsychological phenomenon such as near-death experiences, psychic mediumship, telekinesis, revelations via dreams, etc.  It (consciousness) does not aggregate to form a super force that is God; instead, each individuated consciousness once it has collapsed as a probability wave into the absolute vacuum from all of its lived-experiences throughout the multiverse possess God-like qualities, which human consciousness in the material world can tap into via ancestor veneration, trances, and other paranormal and parapsychological phenomena such as near-death experiences, psychic medium readings, etc.  In other words, our individual connections, via the elementary (carrier) particle of consciousness, psychion, to the probability wavefunction of the absolute vacuum is tantamount to what Leibniz has to say about the monads’ connections to God and all created things; in the language of Mocombe’s consciousness field theory God is replaced with the absolute vacuum, and each one of us is a sense representative of the whole that is the absolute vacuum out of which everything emerges and returns as a probability wavefunction.  We are a living mirror of the multiverse from a different point of view.  Yet the whole, absolute vacuum, reveals itself to us (the dimensions of our consciousnesses) through paranormal and parapsychological phenomena such as Near-Death Experiences, psychic mediums, etc.   

Theory and Method

The literature on the ontological nature and origins of consciousness suggests a reliance on material and post-material theorizations; those perspectives that view consciousness as emerging primarily as an emergent property of complex brain neuronal computation (A), (B) as spiritual quality of the universe, distinct from purely physical actions, and (C) as composed of discrete ‘proto-conscious’ events acting in accordance with physical laws not yet fully understood.  The former, (A), is a materialist perspective, which emphasizes the laws of classical physics to posit consciousness as the by-product of the neural correlates of the physical substrates of the material brain (Chalmers, 1996).  The latter two (B and C) are post-materialist approaches to understanding consciousness, which emphasize the emergence of consciousness as an external phenomenon that exists outside of the physical substrates of the brain either in the form of panpsychism or cosmopsychism/panspiritism.  Both post-materialist perspectives use the concepts and theories of quantum mechanics (i.e., superposition, entanglement, multiverse, etc.) to either complete the materialism of the (A) camp, i.e., the (C) camp, or to ground fourteen paranormal and parapsychological (near-death experiences, telepathy, telekinesis, out-of-body experiences, psychic mediumship, etc.) empirical data as proof for the external nature of consciousness, i.e., the (B) camp, which is received and facilitated by the brain (Chalmers, 1996; van Lommel, 2010; Mocombe, 2021, 2021a). 

All three positions are problematic in that they are unable to resolve the quantum decoherence and hard and binding problems of consciousness, however (Chalmers, 1996).  In the materialist camp (A), they are unable to account for how the neural correlates of the physical substrates of the material brain bind to give us the phenomenal subjective experience of consciousness, i.e., the binding problem (Chalmers, 1996).  Just the same, in the post-materialist camps (B and C), they are unable to account for the quantum decoherence problematic; that is, the latter positions are unable to account for either how consciousness in everything, panpsychism, emerges/combines, or decombines from a god or the cosmos, panspiritism and cosmopsychism, respectively, in the material brain to give rise to consciousness (van Lommel, 2010).  Hence, what remains missing in the academic literature is a detailed examination of how consciousness emerges in the world from its ontological basis to its social psychological (phenomenal subjective) manifestation in human social interactions, social structure, while resolving the problematics of the two approaches.  Mocombe’s consciousness field theory, which serves as a materialist theoretical framework for his overall theory of phenomenological structuralism, attempts to do just that. 

Mocombe’s Consciousness Field Theory  

Mocombe’s (2019, 2021a, 2021b) consciousness field theory, which is part of his larger theory of phenomenological structuralism, resolves the quantum decoherence and hard and binding problematics of all three camps by positing the ontological origins and nature of individual consciousness to be an emergent fifth force of nature that is cycled and recycled throughout the multiverse as a resonating channel or station of, and on, a frequency wavelength via its embodied elementary (carrier) particle, psychion, which has spin, mass, charge, and phenomenal properties, i.e., qualia (see Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; and Table 1). 

In Mocombe’s (2016, 2019, 2021, 2021a) theory of phenomenological structuralism consciousness is an emergent (fifth) force of the universe, composed of an elementary particle, psychion, with mass, charge, spin (a boson with spin S=1), and phenomenal properties, qualia, that is received by the brain, from, or in, multiple, entangled, and superimposed local consciousness fields, Schumann waves, and integrated by its (the Brain’s) electromagnetic field as psychon to constitute mind, practical consciousness, and the self, as resonating channels or stations of, or on, frequency wavelengths, in material worlds of the multiverse (see Figure 5 and Table 1 for the elementary value of quantum energy for brain and Schumann waves, and their mapping, respectively; and the frequency of the psychonic wave) (Kozlowska and Kozlowski, 2016, p. 795).   The phenomenal properties, qualia, of the psychions of a consciousness field, following matter disaggregation, disconnection as psychon from the Schumann waves, throughout the multiverse, either collapse, as a resonating channel or station of a frequency wavelength, upon other superimposed and entangled versions (wavelengths) of themselves throughout the multiverse, or are integrated, along with the other four forces (gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces), in the absolute vacuum of a superverse to create (via quantum fluctuation, tunneling, and inflation) future beings with consciousness (the phenomenal properties of lived-experience in the form of qualia, informational content of subatomic particles, i.e., psychions) (see Figure 7).

Figure 3.  For Mocombe, building on BHBBT, the superverses with entangled and superimposed (via black holes) multiverses share the same informational content.  So, the hypothesis here is that one superverse created (from the absolute vacuum) a universe, and its informational content is entangled and superimposed on top of another superverse with the informational content of the previous universe emerging in it via black holes.  Hence what you have are a layer of multiverses and superverses, superimposed and entangled, whose informational content are shared or recycled via black holes, which organize and structure the multiverses similarly.  As such, quantum fluctuation and big bangs are constantly occurring and producing the same worlds, ad infinitum.  So, when physicists look out to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), they are looking at the remnant from an early stage of our universe, which came forth from its older version a layer above it, and so on ad infinitum.  Put more concretely, the physicists are in a superverse, of our universe, in our milky-way galaxy, looking out to the black hole of a milky-way galaxy from the superverse/multiverse above us with its own consciousness field.

Figure 4.  This figure represents how the psychions are embodied, as psychons, from the consciousness field (CF) in the neurons of brains (figure a, adopted from McFadden, 2020, represents the human brain—left (L) and right (R) hemispheres—and its EM field, which holds together and integrates the qualia of psychions, informational content of the superverse/multiverses, which becomes individuated consciousness recursively organized and reproduced as practical consciousness), which produces an EM field that holds together and integrates the qualia of the psychions as individuated consciousness on channels or stations of frequency wavelengths from the absolute vacuum.  For Mocombe, building on BHBBT, the superverses with entangled and superimposed (via black holes) multiverses share the same informational content.  So, the hypothesis here is that one superverse created (from the absolute vacuum) a universe, and its informational content is entangled and superimposed on top of another superverse with the informational content of the previous universe emerging in it via black holes.  Hence what you have are a layer of multiverses and superverses, superimposed and entangled, whose informational contents are shared or recycled via black holes, which organize and structure the multiverses similarly.  As such, quantum fluctuation and big bangs are constantly occurring and producing the same worlds, ad infinitum.  The informational content, qualia, of these multiverses and worlds are encoded and transmitted as psychions (channel frequency of wavelengths) and embodied in the neurons of brains, which create an EM field that holds and integrates the psychions as individuated consciousness.

Figure 7.  For Mocombe, one superverse created (from the absolute vacuum) a universe, via quantum fluctuation, tunneling, and inflation, and its informational content is entangled and superimposed on top of another universe with the informational content of the previous universe emerging in it via black holes as highlighted in Figure 3.  Figure 7 highlights the stages by which these multiverses emerge and unfold from the absolute vacuum. Hence what you have are a layer of multiverses, superimposed and entangled, whose informational contents are shared or recycled via black holes, which organize and structure the multiverses similarly.  As such, quantum fluctuation and big bangs are constantly occurring and producing the same worlds, ad infinitum.  So, when physicists look out to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), they are looking at the remnant from an early stage of our universe, which came forth from its older version a layer above it, and so on ad infinitum.  Put more concretely, the physicists are in a superverse, of our universe, in our milky-way galaxy, looking out to the black hole of a milky-way galaxy from the superverse/multiverse above us with its own consciousness field.

Table 1.  Characteristics of Brain Waves.

As such, the psychions of the consciousness field as psychons they are local and connected to (entangled) multiple superimposed worlds with, and through, Schumann waves (see Figure 3); once assimilated in the absolute vacuum, they are psychions, the elementary particle of consciousness, an interconnected, endless, and nonlocal fifth force of nature, with qualia or phenomenal properties, which, initially, emerges following matter aggregation and disaggregation, disconnection from Schumann waves, in the multiverse.  It (the psychions of the consciousness field) is an endless assimilation of all past, present, and future information (practical activities and memories) of beings of the multiverse cycled and recycled via the absolute vacuum (empty nonspatial and nontemporal phenomenon in which elementary particles, quarks, and constituents of matter and forces of nature have become one), which fluctuates as a probability wave function, to give rise to entangled and superimposed worlds, each with their own Schumann waves and consciousness fields, which produce future beings with consciousness, an individualized resonating channel or station, psychion, on the frequency wavelength of the Schumann wave and the absolute vacuum (Mocombe, 2021, 2021a). 

As highlighted in Figure 7, the absolute vacuum is a fifth dimensional superverse or cosmic soup where all the elementary particles are one, and fluctuate, as a probability wavefunction, tunnel, and inflate to produce four dimensional spacetimes (multiverses) where consciousness emerges as individuated psychonic fields or resonating channels/stations produced by the firing of neurons in the brain where the elementary particle, psychion, of consciousness are embodied and tied to the frequency wavelength of Schumann waves of entangled and superimposed worlds, which are tied to the oscillating frequency wavelength of the absolute vacuum, which transmits the signal of phenomenal subjective consciousness to the psychions.  Each individual consciousness has their own resonating psychionic channel or station (which is measurable on EEG machines) on the frequency wavelength of the earth’s Schumann wave, which is tied to the frequency wavelength of the absolute vacuum, which transmits phenomenal consciousness to the psychionic channel (see Figure 4).  Figure 6, the Garyian equation, the first evidence for the consciousness field, represents the equation of, and for, individual consciousness: phi Φ is the symbol for consciousness; 10⁻15 eV₍₄₎, adopted from Kozlowska and Kozlowski, the formula represents the elementary value of quantum energy for brain and Schumann waves (see Figure 5); f (0), represents the resonating psychionic channel or station of individual phenomenal consciousness received from the absolute vacuum.  The absolute vacuum houses and incorporates, as phenomenal property, qualia, all of the past, present, and future, lived experiences of all individual consciousnesses as a fifth force of nature and resonating frequency wavelength, which is transmitted to, Schumann waves of entangled and superimposed multiworlds, and received and facilitated by, in human beings, the material brain, brainstem, and central/peripheral nervous systems.  Table 1 highlights the Hz level range of the psychonic wave, the second evidence for the existence of the consciousness field, in relation to other human brain waves.  Finally, the third evidence for the existence of the consciousness field are parapsychological proofs of near-death experiences and reincarnation highlighted by post-materialist researchers.  For Mocombe, one of, or all, three things occur to the phenomenal properties, qualia, of the psychions of a consciousness field, following matter disaggregation (death) throughout the multiverse, 1) they are recycled/reincarnated to give rise to future beings with the same consciousness; 2) collapse upon other superimposed and entangled versions (resonances) of themselves throughout the multiverse, 3) and or are integrated, along with the subatomic particles of the other four forces (gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces), in the absolute vacuum of a superverse to create (via quantum fluctuation and tunneling) future beings with consciousness.  In terms of the latter, the psychions of the consciousness field, once assimilated in the absolute vacuum, is an interconnected, endless, and nonlocal fifth force of nature, which, initially, emerges following matter aggregation and disaggregation in the multiverse.  It is an endless assimilation of all past, present, and future information (practical activities and memories) of beings of the multiverse cycled and recycled via the absolute vacuum (empty space in which elementary particles, quarks, and constituents of matter and forces of nature have become one), which fluctuates as a probability wave function, to give rise to entangled and superimposed worlds, each with their own consciousness fields, which produce future things and beings with consciousness.

Discussion

Hence, according to Mocombe, early on in the multiverse, before the aggregation of matter into physical worlds, there was no consciousness; consciousness emerged/evolved as a result of aggregated matter, with sense perceiving apparatuses, affectively, perceptively, and cognitively, i.e., the dimensions of consciousness, experiencing aggregated material realities with Schumann waves where they, initially, sought pleasure and unpleasure between themselves and the material reality through three (ready-to-hand, unready-to-hand, and present-at-hand) phenomenal stances of the (human) mind, i.e., what Heidegger calls the analytics of Dasein, which would give rise to the contents (qualia) of consciousness.  Ready-to-hand refers to the unconscious experience of material reality as it appears to the human actor; unready-to-hand refers to the contemplative problem-solving aspect of the human actor when experiencing material reality; and the present-at-hand structural stance refers to self-awareness of the human actor out of which the scientific process and methods emerge. 

Local (human) consciousness evolved from the electrical firing in the aggregated (material) brain (which gives rise to the initial states and structures of consciousness), and the rest of the central and peripheral nervous systems, connected to sense perceiving apparatuses, which produced a psychonic wave, which became tied to the Schumann wave of aggregated material reality created by the absolute vacuum, the nonlocal probability wavefunction out of which the multiverse emerged, where ultimately consciousness comes to reside nonlocally.  Upon death or the disaggregation of material reality, the elementary particles of the psychonic waves of aggregated matter becomes a psychion, with the qualia (contents of consciousness), phenomenal properties, from their (affective, perceptive, and cognitive) experiences as subatomic particle, that either collapses (as a resonating channel of a frequency wavelength) in other Schumann waves of the multiverse where the same matter exists or collapses into the absolute vacuum, if all of the same forms of the aggregated matter has been disaggregated, of the multiverse with the other elementary particles of the original four forces of nature. 

At the nonlocal level consciousness is a wavefunction, an elementary particle of the absolute vacuum or zero-point field who’s subatomic (elementary) particle, psychion, has phenomenal properties or qualia, informational content of recycled consciousness, mass, charge, and spin, which produces a consciousness field tied to the nonlocality of the absolute vacuum.  The field, and its subatomic (carrier) particles, psychions, are locally connected, as psychon, to material realities via their Schumann waves, material realities produced by, and connected to, the absolute vacuum, as resonating frequency wavelength channels/stations.  They, psychion, the elementary particle of consciousness with phenomenal properties, mass, charge, and spin, are embodied as, psychon, a resonating channel/station on the wavelength frequency of the absolute vacuum and entangled Schumann waves via the brain, brainstem (ARAS system), and central/peripheral nervous systems, which serve as a receiver and facilitator (antenna) of consciousness in material realities with Schumann waves.  The psychion, psychon once integrated or embodied by the human brain and brainstem, is neurochemically integrated in the brain via the dopaminergic ventral tegmental area (VTA) in conjunction with the functional connectivity from the brainstem areas regulating arousal to the cortical networks supporting internal and external awareness.  “The energetic-metabolic processes focusing on [adenosine triphosphate] ATP, glucose, and γ-aminobutyrate/glutamate are [also] indispensable for functional connectivity (FC) of normal brain networks that renders consciousness possible” (Chen & Zhang, 2021, p. 1).  Once internal and external awareness is determined subatomically (embodiment as a resonating channel/station on the frequency wavelength of the absolute vacuum and entangled Schumann waves with qualia, i.e., phenomenal properties, mass, charge, and spin), structurally (via the brainstem and the central and peripheral nervous systems), and neurochemically (dopamine, ATP, etc.), the firing of neurons, from the energy (current) of the subatomic particle, psychion/psychon, produces a psychonic wave that (affectively, perceptively, and cognitively) ties, via its charge and resonance, the human being to the electromagnetic wave, Schumann wave, of the earth or material reality thereby localizing and individuating consciousness, which is now local and nonlocal and dependent upon the brainstem, brain, and central and peripheral nervous systems, and their physical substrates, acting on consciousness, to receive and facilitate an initial affective phenomenal conscious experience in material reality where the individual seeks a balance and harmony (homeostasis) between their bodies and material reality via pleasure and unpleasure.  (Local, given embodiment and connection to the Schumann wave of material reality, which is nonlocally connected to the consciousness field, which is produced by the absolute vacuum).  The qualia of this initial affect, evolves and grows, cognitively, emotionally, etc., and becomes individuated consciousnesses, which are, each individuated consciousness, resonating (distinct) channels/stations on the frequency wavelength of entangled and superimposed Schumann waves, material realities, which are produced by and connected to the absolute vacuum via a fifth force of nature, i.e., the consciousness field and its subatomic (elementary-carrier) particle, psychion. 

Hence, consciousness, early on (at the very beginning of the evolution of aggregate matter), emerges from the initial neuronal activities of the brainstem and central and peripheral nervous systems experiencing local material reality, which produces its first phenomenal essence, i.e., qualia, which is the affect of pleasure and unpleasure (Solms, 2019; Mocombe, 2021, 2021a, 2021b).  This initial essence, which produces other emerging essences (emergent essence), phenomenal experiences, qualia, via the brain, body, and the central and peripheral nervous systems, held together by the brain’s electromagnetic field, once constituted from experience of material realities with Schumann waves, is absorbed and recycled throughout a global consciousness field (cosmopsychism) created by the absolute vacuum, zero-point field, following matter disaggregation, of the multiverse to continuously produce beings with (local) consciousness, psychion/psychon, that have phenomenal properties or qualia, which become embodied in the physical substrates of the brain to facilitate consciousness, which can be impaired if the mechanical brain is damaged or under the influences of drugs, alcohol, etc.  Hence neural correlates of the brain come to facilitate and act on consciousness, which following matter aggregation is a fifth force, psychion, of nature with phenomenal properties, mass, charge, and spin, resonating as an individuated channel or station of the material brain from the absolute vacuum or zero-point field in entangled and superimposed Schumann waves of material realities.

In this Mocombeian view, consciousness is not fundamental as argued in the post-materialist camp; instead, it is an emergent (material) property, emergent panpsychism (once emerged from first aggregated simple beings firing neurons consciousness becomes an emergent essence of the multiverse) that morphs into the cosmopsychism (probability wavefunction of the absolute vacuum), of the multiverse, as argued in the materialist camp, which is constituted and expressed, in the human sphere through subatomic particle aggregation, mode of production, language, ideology, ideological apparatuses, communicative discourse, and praxis. 

Simple and complex beings’, resonating as different channels/stations or wavelengths of the same frequency and phase, Schumann waves of entangled and superimposed material realities throughout the multiverse, experience (sensation) of aggregated matter created by the initial four forces of nature from the absolute vacuum gives rise to their initial (affective) qualia whose constitutive subatomic particle, psychion, is the elementary particle (with phenomenal properties, mass, charge, and spin) that constitutes emerging consciousness fields as resonating psychonic waves.  Consciousness, from this perspective, is an emergent fifth force of nature with an elementary particle, psychion, which produces a consciousness field, from the absolute vacuum, tied to the electromagnetic waves, Schumann waves, of superimposed and entangled physical worlds via the brain’s psychonic waves produced from the firing of neurons.  The firing of neurons in the structures (ARAS system) of the brain, and the central nervous system, produces the psychonic electromagnetic wave, composed of the psychion with qualia, sense experiences of aggregate matter, which ties the individual to the Schumann waves, the electromagnetic fields of (superimposed and entangled) physical worlds of the multiverse, which emerge from, and tied to, the absolute vacuum or zero-point field of nonlocal space where the elementary particles of the forces of nature are one in the form of a probability wavefunction.  The absolute vacuum transmits individual consciousness as a resonating frequency wavelength, channel or station with phenomenal properties, qualia, on the Schumann resonance of the earth and the psychonic wave of the individual, which share the same frequency with different amplitude.  The brain is a receiver and facilitator of consciousness with the elementary (carrier) particle, psychion, of consciousness serving as the resonating channel or station of individuated consciousness, and the Schumann and psychonic waves serving as the bandwidth; the absolute vacuum produces a carrier wave, i.e., the psychonic waves of individual consciousness, that is modulated in frequency by the signal that is to be transmitted in the form of the psychonic wave of the psychion to individual consciousness.  Following matter disaggregation across and throughout the multiverse, the psychion, subatomic particle of consciousness, and its qualia, phenomenal property, is subsequently integrated into the absolute vacuum, the wavefunction of the multiverse, which in its inception was only four forces, where all the fundamental forces of nature emerged, of the multiverse to give rise to future worlds with conscious simple and complex beings whose qualia, phenomenal properties, is never destroyed (emergent panpsychism), but is the frequency of an individual consciousness recycled throughout the multiverse.  For Mocombe what accounts for the unity of experience is the psychion, subatomic particle, of the emergent psychonic/panpsychic subatomic field of the multiverse that has phenomenal properties, qualia, which gets embodied as a resonating neuronal particle of the aggregated brain, which experiences a material resource framework as an “I,” a channel/station of, or on, a frequency wavelength, whose phenomenal properties, subjective experiences of material reality, following matter disaggregation either returns back to the field or collapses in other worlds, with their own consciousness fields, where the same matter exists as distinct resonating frequency channels of wavelengths (individual psychionic waves connected to Schumann waves of multiverses connected to the absolute vacuum as frequency wavelengths, which can be measured in Hertz). 

The consciousness field is a classical field produced by accelerating psychionic charges that contain and transmit all the phenomenal properties, qualia, of the absolute vacuum to the Schumann waves of material realities, and the psychonic waves of brains, brainstems, and central nervous systems connected to the latter, Schumann waves, which are connected to the former, absolute vacuum or zero-point field as a frequency signal.  The field is the combination of a psychonic field or wave (produced by the psychionic elementary particle), an electric field, and a magnetic field.  The psychonic field or wave, like the magnetic field, is produced by moving charges or currents, and the electric field stationary charges.  The consciousness field can be regarded as a smooth, continuous field, that propagates in a wavelike manner, and interacts with charges and currents.  The reciprocal information transfer between the absolute vacuum, which constitutes a fifth dimension, the Schumann waves of entangled and superimposed material realities with consciousness fields, which exist in the four dimensions of spacetime, and the psychion/psychon of subjects of experience takes place via the distinct resonances of everyone, which is a rhythmic channel/station on the frequency wavelength that is entangled and superimposed between the absolute vacuum, Schumann waves, and the psychonic waves of subjects of experience. 

Conclusion

Within this Mocombeian epistemological and ontological paradigm, it is fair to say that consciousness in the absolute vacuum is individuated just like in material reality.  It (consciousness) does not aggregate to form a super force that is God; instead, each individuated consciousness once its subatomic (carrier) particle, psychion, has collapsed as a probability wave into the absolute vacuum from all of its lived-experiences throughout the multiverse possess God-like qualities.  That is, individuated consciousnesses existing as a probability wave within the (fifth dimension of the) absolute vacuum is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnitemporal, etc., given its connections to all of reality, and can be accessed by (local) consciousnesses in material realities, which our early ancestors postulated with their concept of animism and ancestor worship or veneration.  Hence, ancestor worship, as prescribed by our early ancestors, is more appropriate than praying to an individual super force we call God.  This does not mean that the ancestors created the multiverse and worlds we would come to experience, however; instead, the pantheism and animism they prescribed to go along with ancestor worship, and veneration seems to be more fitting with the evidence proposed by Mocombe.  That is to say, the multiverse has always existed, and will go on to exist, as a probability wavefunction of the absolute vacuum, constantly creating and recreating itself out of itself ad infinitum.  In this sense, our individual connections, via the elementary particle of consciousness, psychion, to the absolute vacuum is tantamount to what Leibniz has to say about the monads’ connections to God and all created things, each one of us is a sense representative of the whole that is the absolute vacuum out of which everything emerges and returns as a probability wavefunction; we are a living mirror of the multiverse from a different point of view.  Yet the whole reveals itself to us through paranormal and parapsychological phenomena such as Near-Death Experiences, psychic mediumship, etc.
