Of course, how stupid of me. Yes we are sub-atomic energy - quantum fields of consciousness - this may help

A Quantum approach to Consciousness and the Physics and Metaphysics of Being and Nothingness

Remarkably, the creation dynamics elaborated by Blavatsky in 1888, anticipated the newest views of modern physics. Scientists trace the creation of the universe to a first instant of time, 10-43 seconds, at a particular level of material differentiation, at 10-33 centimeters-the dimensions at which physical differentiation began-out of the seeming void and plenum of the quantum vacuum. In the vacuum genesis account, creation proceeds as the singularity expands from within/without and symmetry breaking occurs in higher dimensional space, to precipitate dimensions of being out of nothingness. However, although science accepts the idea of the universe originating from a singularity, the same model is never considered in relationship to consciousness studies, This paper proposes that the physics and metaphysics derived from the study of the macrocosm, be applied directly to understand the microcosm: Human consciousness originates from a zero point source
established in higher space dimensions, within the seeming void and plenum. Further, mystics identify this zero point center most immediately with the mystical dimensions of the heart. Whereas, the last century of modern science has focused on the brain as a physical mechanism, which somehow produces consciousness, the ancient wisdoms depict the Heart as the true center of the inner cosmos of consciousness. Blavatsky quotes an ancient Stanza: âThe Sons expand and contract from their own Selves and Hearts.â Thus, at the âheartâ of a living being is a zero point center-the quantum Self, or I, a point source of supernal light established within higher dimensional Space. The Dali Lama describes this conjunction of the light of pure mind and infinitesimal space particles. In the Vedas, the supersoul (or paramatma) is infinite, while the individual spirit soul is infinitesimal-an inherently self-illuminating quantum of consciousness established within
the âcave of Brahmanâ or the âlotus of the heart.â Ramana Maharshi (1995) describes âself realizationâ as involving the âdissolution of the mind in the Heart lotus.â Consciousness is further rooted into the void/plenum and the deep substratum of existence. A Sufis comments: âNot since God brought man out of nothingness, has he ceased to be a traveler.â
>From a mystical perspective, modern theorists make a series of mistakes about the nature and origin of consciousness. Firstly, it is associated with the mind and brain, instead of the heart (and the circulation of blood). As a quantum system, the heart, not the head, is the center of a human being, as the electromagnetic volume of the heart is estimated at five thousand times that of the brain. (Pearsall, 1999) Mystics describe the heart as the Sun of the body, while the mind is the moon-with no light of its own, and only reflecting the light of the Self within the heart Space. In this view, consciousness is not dependent upon neurological processes at all, as these simply provide varied âcontentsâ of experience. The vast evidence for near-death and out of body experiences, states of awakening and enlightenment, clearly suggests this. A mistake within the holographic paradigm is the assumption that experiences only occur in the brain, and that, as
Karl Pribram comments âthere are no laser beams in the brain.â Mystical teachings suggest that the zero point source of coherent light within the Heart Space establishes the holographic basis of human consciousness.
