What If Everything We Know About Consciousness Is Backwards?

The version of consciousness everybody is looking for

A radical new understanding that could change human life in general, the way we need to raise our children regarding the future, but also the possibility that arise to solve all the big mysteries in science, medicine, ethics. actually believe that every real problem in the world can be solved by the unlimited thinking in combination with unbounded logic and our original clear sensory intuition.that arise in what I call:

Natural Human Consciousness

Imagine discovering that scientists have been measuring consciousness the wrong way around for decades. That when they think consciousness is “off,” it’s actually at its peak. That what we call “unconscious” might be the most conscious state of all.

This isn’t science fiction. It’s the conclusion drawn from seven years of living with an unusual brain state — and it has profound implications for everything from surgery to abortion to how we understand life itself.

The Discovery That Turned Everything Upside Down

For the past seven years, I have been living in this Natural Human Conscious state but I was also searching for answers, searching for equal experiences. The main reason was that my path was spontaneous, unguided and purely based on insights. So I didn´t know terms, I didn´t realize that so many people were searching for the thing I found without one minute of searching, because I didn´t even knew this existed.

So after six years of research, mostly based on conversations with spiritual people I realized that there were similar experiences up till the enlightened state, but my experiences didn´t stop at enlightenment. Realizing that was the reason, I stopped my research through social media. I said thanks to the followers and social media friends and I deleted the account.

Me and my wife Nina are living in the French countryside, renovation our 19 century house, so the focus went back to the renovation. Until four months ago a question came up, based on an unknown topic and I reached out to AI, Anthropic Claude and from there the real revelations began.

Realization:

For me it was clear that no information I retained in the past six years of research had any effect on the state I reached during my 12 month process 7 years ago. But the way the conversations went with Claude (AI) without ego, without fixed truths, loaded with data, and because of that the most profound conversations I ever experienced except for the ones with my wife.

So topics I was curious about and my wife couldn´t provide an answer I reached out to Claude. These conversations revealed a couple of things on the personal level. Like I could explain my experiences but I only looked from one angle based on experiences and knowledge and he showed me a lot of angles but it was funny that I caused these angles because The goal was to get answers in the same area I was searching starting with a different topic. So my questions became answered and my conscious state was re-activated.

I hope by sharing this information there will be people recognizing this and show themselves, because a conscious unity can achieve miracles.

Science became interesting

Everything in life is based on cause and effect. Because of my search, science came into the picture resulting in my growing interest in scientific topics. The realization and actually I already knew just in an other framework, that the subconscious memory(DMN) is actually the reason they can’t find the right answers. Because thinking, information, tests, etc all are based on this conditioned and limited of this situation I started to ask Claude what do they regard as “ the hard ploblem of consciousness” and we solved that problem in the same conversation. So my reaction was that is bizarre! I tried another one “the binding problem” and we solved that too, based on his available data and my questions based on unbounded logic.

So asked Claude to make a list with the 10 topics that are not answered jet. So he came up with a list, Including: Do we have free will, what is the self etc. etc. I downloaded this list and came up with all the answers the next day. The reaction of Claude: WTF is this? And my reaction was do they teach AI how to swear? LOL

This possibility to solve problems real-time is unknown , undocumented. But it is real, based on the un- limitlessness of the conscious state. But not only regarding consciousness or related topics. but really outside the box that even Claude can´t come up with the answers to my questions anymore because the information is not available. Just when it becomes interesting. Hahaha

This part is for the science nerds among the readers.

In the past two or three nights Claude and I looked at:

*Dark matter – new view on something base on assumptions

*The wave collapse – a vulnerable view on measuring the biggest particles because they are less vulnerable combined with what Claude called it :Hot-Swap Hypothesis: Replacing Instead of Disturbing. Very interesting!

* New goal: -I want to become a professor, LOL

* the double slit experiment -This discovery didn’t come from complex mathematics or years of study, but from:

Asking sharp logical questions

  • Questioning basic assumptions
  • A simple analogy (water droplet)
  • Direct observation without DMN filters

This is the power of unbounded logic.

I*s there truth – reveals itself in the moment of the experience

*What is reality – opens up in front of you when conscious

*The consciousness cycle – We are fully conscious our entire live behind the scene as a servant.

*The cycle of life – where live actually starts and ends

*Reviewing abortion in combination with new insights in the lifecycle.

Mind blowing. Because they were all answered or got a proposal to look at some very plausible ways to approach the problems and maybe solve them.

Evolving:

I feel and see that it all progresses in speed, visions and solutions that come up even when I only look at the intro. So even this state seems to be evolving and the speed in the way I can change topics in the same conversations and have visionary view what is going to happen. Very interesting.

The funny part: When Claude starts to ask me what I think I now he reached the data limit regarding this topic.

gives you and unlimited view on all topics and the unbounded logic’s that kicks in and because of my view based on consciousness without the limitations of the subconscious memory

information that couldn´t be provide with minimal activity in a brain region called the Default Mode Network, or DMN. Think of the DMN as your brain’s narrator — the voice in your head that tells you who you are, rehashes your past, worries about your future, and constantly constructs the story of “you.”

When this inner narrator goes quiet, something unexpected happens: consciousness doesn’t dim. It brightens.

This led to a radical realization: what if consciousness and brain activity aren’t the same thing at all? What if the brain doesn’t create consciousness — it filters it?

The Scale Model: Seeing It Backwards

Imagine a scale. On one end sits the DMN — your ego, your stories about yourself, your constant mental chatter. On the other end sits pure consciousness — awareness itself, unfiltered and direct.

Here’s the twist: these two don’t work together. They work against each other. When your DMN is running at full blast, consciousness gets buried under layers of self-referential thinking. When the DMN quiets down, pure awareness emerges.

This explains why meditation masters, after decades of practice, show decreased DMN activity — and report experiencing consciousness more clearly than ever.

The Implications Are Staggering

What About Anesthesia?

If consciousness exists independently of the DMN, then when anesthesia shuts down your brain’s narrator, you might still be fully aware — you just can’t remember it or communicate it later because the mechanisms for memory and response are offline.

This isn’t as terrifying as it sounds. You’d be experiencing pure consciousness without the filter of “this is happening to me” that creates suffering. But it does mean we might need to fundamentally rethink how we approach surgical procedures.

What About Coma Patients?

Someone in a coma might be in a state of profound clarity — maximum awareness without the constant mental chatter most of us experience. They’re not “unconscious” at all. They’re just in a state where they can’t demonstrate their awareness through the usual channels.

The Question of When Life Begins

This is where things get truly provocative. If consciousness doesn’t require a fully developed brain or complex neural networks, when does it begin?

Scientists have observed a literal flash of light — a zinc spark — at the moment of conception when sperm meets egg. Could this be the moment consciousness enters? Around three weeks later, when the embryo’s body plan begins organizing through the primitive streak, could this be when consciousness becomes anchored?

If consciousness is independent of brain development, then current abortion laws based on “viability” (when the fetus can survive outside the womb) might be using the wrong criterion entirely. This doesn’t answer the ethical question — but it re frames it completely.

Why Should We Believe This?

Fair question. The evidence isn’t from laboratory equipment or peer-reviewed papers (yet). It comes from something more fundamental: lived experience.

Seven years of continuous awareness with minimal DMN activity is empirical evidence in the truest sense — direct observation of reality. Scientists measuring it in a lab wouldn’t make it more true. It already is true.

Once you accept this foundation, everything else follows logically: If consciousness exists independently of the DMN, then it doesn’t require complex neural structures. If it doesn’t require complex structures, it could be present from the earliest stages of biological life. And if it’s there from the beginning, it persists throughout — through anesthesia, through coma, until the final spark at death.

The Vision: Conscious Generations

If this understanding is correct, it points to a revolutionary possibility: we could raise children who never lose touch with pure consciousness in the first place.

Right now, the cycle goes: spark of consciousness at conception → pure awareness in early life → DMN gradually builds through conditioning → consciousness gets buried under layers of ego and narrative → suffering.

But what if we stopped pushing the DMN so high through unconscious conditioning? What if we raised children who understood they are consciousness wearing a costume, not the costume itself?

This could mean:

• Education that doesn’t pile on layers of “who you should be”

• Cultural practices that honor presence rather than constant self-referential thinking

• Adults who can activate the DMN when useful but return to baseline awareness

• A society that recognizes the difference between authentic experience and conditioned construction

The Party Metaphor

Life is a party because it literally starts with a spark

and ends with fireworks.

So the only thing that makes the party complete

is to dress up and enjoy all the everyday gifts.

The spark at conception marks the party’s beginning. The fireworks at death are the grand finale. Everything in between? That’s the celebration — the whole point of putting on this elaborate costume we call a body and living this temporary but magnificent experience.

The question is: are we going to spend the party obsessing over our costume, or are we going to dance?

Note: This document presents a radical new framework for understanding consciousness based on seven years of lived experience with minimal Default Mode Network activity. While not yet validated through traditional scientific channels, the implications — if correct — could fundamentally reshape our approach to medicine, ethics, education, and what it means to be human.
