Introduction: The "Chinese" Dream

I work in a foreign country, in China, and I abide by the existing and burdensome rules of the regime. Some friends of mine left the country, they did not want to return. I was tempted to emigrate too, to make a new start. As I begin to think about how to take the next step, I wake up from a dream I had asked for in order to get an answer to the problem of the unconscious.

In the dream, China symbolises above all my dissatisfaction with the theories of the unconscious, which is apparently supposed to shape our lives in an all-encompassing way and displaces the essence of consciousness. Freud described the expression "the soul is the conscious" as a prejudice, since a large part of the soul is unconscious. The unconscious still dominates the theories of psychoanalysis today, but Freud's interpretations have been devalued by modern psychological science.

Thanks to six years of study of an African ethnic group [2], I obtained an alternative interpretation of consciousness in connection with the unconscious, which overcomes the "Chinese" limitations beyond the depth psychological interpretations. Those who fill their lives with conscious symbolism are able to put up a barrier to the variety of mental stresses. However, errors in design also lead to misbehaviour and open up the dark side of consciousness.

I was also able to recognise a view of creation that opened up a new horizon, revealing a structural connection between modern physics and the consciousness that allows us to penetrate creation. However, this is not about explaining consciousness with the scientific findings of quantum physics, as there is no evidence for this assumption to date. The only decisive factor is a structural relationship.

This essay is a synopsis of my studies (see section: Books).

The symbolic unity in consciousness (an African sculpture)

1. Consciousness is symbolism, its unconscious "grammar" the brain

Consciousness always leads us to symbol formations. Symbols are something with transferred effects and properties that establish a reference in identifications to something. Consciousness shapes the dynamic interaction of I and We, which actively and passively build the symbolic world of the human being in the spiritual as well as in the material.

Consciousness allows us to shape everyday life, language, sciences, religions and dreams as well as mental illnesses. They all live from symbolism. That which we call spiritual can always be grasped symbolically. No one can define the spiritual, but we experience it as symbolism, and that is my starting point.

To avoid any possible misconception, I am excluding automated and often unconscious daily activities from the discussion, as they are irrelevant to the topic at hand. The focus is primarily on conscious experience and shaping. We are unconscious of what goes on in the brain, but it controls our behaviour beyond Freudian repression.

Symbolism is the "universe" of consciousness. It shapes the human being and the environment - for good or for bad. And the universe is the symbolism of creation, which connects the two aspects, which I would like to prove with the following explanations. The basis of all symbolism should first be briefly summarised in three terms.

1. Analysis and Interpretation. Something given or experienced activates my perception, which leads to the formation of symbols - to interpretation, behaviour and actions. Perception opens the analytical faculty of the human being. I see a tree and capture it with a word symbol, it thus becomes part of me. Observation and word unite and form a We. Observation and word unite and thus form a we.

2. Projection and Introjection.

With introjection, there is an influencing reception of the world-outside-us, which takes shape actively or passively. An event can generate a feeling in me, which creates a symbolic imprint, an internalisation. In an illusion, something that exists is perceived as an irregularity.

The lover who gives his girlfriend a bouquet of flowers is projecting his feelings - based on an introjection. If one says: "He is strong like a tree" or "Trees don't grow into the sky", symbol projection occurs, a transfer to the outside. An artist's painting creates a projection, which leads to an introjection in the observer.. Newton recognizes the force of gravity on the basis of an observation. As he records what he perceives in a formula, he creates a projection. The schizophrenic projects his disturbed experience into the outside world in hallucinations. The aspects of 1. and 2. always arise throuph an:

3. Identification. Introjection and projection need the identification that connects the poles. They form the basis of all symbolism. Outside becomes Inside and inside becomes outside. Without identification there is no symbolism. Man is a being that always lives and builds in we-relationships that are shaped by adapting or dissociating identifications.

Consciousness forms conscious and unconscious symbolism. If their meaning is not recognised, no ontological unconsciousness can be derived from this, but there is only an analytical deficiency. Symbolism is experienced in a constructive or destructive way. Dreams are also active forms of consciousness in sleep and not unconscious and repressed wishes as Freud described them.

I reproduce several dreams in the following paragraphs. With them I want to prove how much they can help us to critically interpret our world of thoughts and our actions. In many problems that arose in my work, dreams gave me an insight and show possible ways to solve questions and problems, they give hints in symbolic forms that are often difficult to interpret. Dreams appear spontaneously or we ask for an insight into a problem before falling asleep.

In order to demonstrate the special nature of the dream world, I created a synopsis of the present work in the fourth section, which records the decisive aspects exclusively in dreams.

Man in the Universe

2. Man: Embryo of the Universe

Consciousness paves the way for human life. It shapes our existence inwards and outwards. There are a variety of interpretations of consciousness that take very different and contradictory viewpoints, which makes insight difficult. I try to open up a simplified view that can be based on a demonstrable foundation.

Above all, I also try to present consciousness beyond depth-psychological interpretations, because it is only part of our consciousness, which has been repressed by depth psychology into a nebulous world. This unconscious represents the "pathogenicity" of modernity, which formed the basis of depth psychology interpretations. The pathogenic gave depth psychology a strong interpretive power that pushed the broader meaning of consciousness into the background. Today there are interpretations of consciousness that discuss the unconscious beyond the Freudian interpretations.

The last paragraph in Philipp Hübl's (Philosopher) study reads:

"The greatest enigma of the universe is not the unconscious, but a phenomenon by which we humans freed ourselves from the constraints of evolution, created our own environment, and began to think about ourselves - our consciousness." [1]

Consciousness is connected with the mystery of creation, which has occupied human beings since time immemorial. We only get answers thanks to our mental faculty, which opened many paths for us. Consciousness was a revolution, because thanks to it, man was able to intervene in creation. In doing so, he builds a world that can be derived from the structure of creation as recognised by science, as the enigmatic title of the section states. This view is discussed in the third section.

To give shape to the puzzle, I asked for a dream that would present the problem to me.

The dream: I enter a mysterious, dark cave into which I want to penetrate further. Shortly after entering the cave, I come across a large machine. A scientist explains its functions to me, they are extremely impressive. But I want to step behind the machine, because what is hidden behind it remains mysterious, and I want to investigate that. I look for a passage, it is difficult to find, because the machine blocks my way.

Entering the darkness

What does the cave I want to enter represent? It is a metaphor of the human spirit to pursue the riddle of life. Science brings its light into the cave and the darkness seems overcome. It is as if it makes the way behind the machine superfluous and blocks it, as it were, as the dream suggests.

But if we do not remain exclusively attached to the depth-psychological of consciousness, the neuroscientific insights and quantum physical interpretations of the sciences, we must penetrate into the darkness, into a non-knowledge. Many questions arise beyond the sciences, with which we search for a 'light' that lets us step behind the machine in a widening view.

The basis of my conclusions comes from years of studies of an African ethnic group, published in my studies [2] and positively reviewed by experts (see Books and Reviews section). I am talking about an analysis of consciousness. What is meant by this? In Africa I discovered a world full of conscious symbolism without ever being tempted to interpret from an unconscious. This may sound absurd to many, but the reader may be convinced when he gains an insight into this world. Especially the comprehensive interpretations of the myths by the old Africans and African womens, which in their depth could never be reached by any Western theory, are a clear indication of how the theories of the unconscious are on a straying path. I have been able to capture their representations in over 40 myths. As a prisoner of a cherished theory, one is carelessly overlooking the fact that the "primitives" possess a conscious and comprehensive interpretation of their own world, which is not sought at all because one does not suspect it and because one is trying to confirm one's own theories.

The world of Africans is circumscribed by a subjective world view, often combined with an analytical deficiency, which is influenced by a non-knowledge, but cannot be interpreted as repression. In my subsequent 18 years of medical work in a Swiss practice, I was able to bypass the world of the unconscious in patients with mental disorders on this basis; it was replaced with the analytical deficit, which always speaks consciously in its symbolism, but whose meaning often remains unrecognised.

The interpretation with the unconscious gave rise to many and contradictory theories that try to explain the straying life forms. I have dealt with this problem in the study Vom Leben und Sterben des Bewusstseins. [3]

The dismissal of the unconscious is also advocated by Jean-Paul Sartre. He contradicts Freud's empirical analysis and opposes it with the existential psychoanalysis founded by Victor Frankl, with the words: "[....] for them, the psychic fact extends to consciousness. But if the fundamental design is fully lived by the subject and 4as such is totally conscious, this does not at all mean that it must at the same time be known by it [...]."[4] Sartre adds to this statement that a distinction must be made between consciousness and cognition. This allows us to explain the analytical shortcoming when no bridge can be created between the two aspects, which allows for the diversity of symbolic interpretations without having to let consciousness sink into an unconscious.

Symbolism is the supporting pillar. Karl Jaspers (psychiatrist and philosopher) captures it with the statement: "To live originally in symbols is to live in the reality that I do not know and yet have present in the symbol."[5] An apt interpretation also comes from Victor Frankl when he says: "[...] is not the need to coin or use symbols a fundamental feature and characteristic of the condition humaine? Or is not the ability to speak, to understand what is spoken, a constitutive characteristic of being human?"[6]

The reality of our consciousness and life consists in the experience of the We - social, spiritual, material. With it we build the symbolism of our life, which I tried to capture in its diversity in my studies.

The following texts deal - far beyond the unconscious - with the connection between consciousness and the findings of modern physics. With this, I am still filling the gap in my studies mentioned at the beginning.

The connection

3. Two-part creation - a new view

What is meant by the term New Vision? The Enlightenment was a movement that limited the dominant role of religion. The Enlightenment marked the beginning of the rise of science, which developed beyond religious restrictions. If we now turn to the findings of the sciences in the following, we will find a gap that cannot be fully filled. This is a fundamental point, because we are entering a bridge that we cannot cross. At its centre, religion and science meet again in a contact that can be created precisely thanks to scientific knowledge. This is what I am trying to pursue.

a) The second room

The human being as an embryo of the universe builds a second universe in his consciousness, even more, in his consciousness repeats the structure of the first universe, which may sound absurd at first. But this relationship can be proven.

I asked for a dream to present this puzzle to me:

I invite my family and friends to a meal. My wife is handing out the food. I watch her and say to her, "Aren't you putting too much food on the plates? There will be nothing left for the future." She leads me into another room, and there are again many plates on a table, and they contain many times more than what had spread out in the first room. I am amazed that the second room contains so much wealth that I didn't know about.

The interpretation: Man first develops in the first room, where his consciousness is formed in the social and material environment. In the second room he encounters the mystery and richness of creation, which open up a wider view for him. The interpretation of this second world creates many different forms that advance from the purely material to the mystical. So it is about the mystery of the meaning of this second room that connects us in consciousness with creation. We recognise a structural kinship with it.

In order to prove this kinship, we have to enter into a broadening interpretation. Thanks to the fascinating insights of the sciences, a connection can be established that enables us to shape this second room. The four terms in the introductory image form the basis of the following explanations.

b) The "genes" of creation

These concepts capture consciousness and relativity, which form a kinship with symbol formation and quantum physics. They seem to have similar "genes" that enable humans to penetrate creation.

It is the findings of the sciences that give us a deep insight into the structure of creation. The fact that a structural relationship between consciousness and the world-outside-us can be recognised either points to a coincidental design that would be difficult to explain, or is there a special meaning hidden behind it?

When we uncover the structure between matter, space and consciousness in their interconnectedness, we gain a new insight. If the four concepts are united in the above image, a design emerges that opens up a new horizon in a transcending way.

Before the findings of quantum physics, humans did not have to be included in macrophysics. This changed with quantum physics. It describes the behaviour of atoms, molecules and elementary particles. The laws of quantum physics form the basis of quantum mechanics, which describes the microphysical events in which the subject could no longer be eliminated as it influences the event. The observer becomes part of the event that involves him. Quantum mechanics is a mathematical description that provides the tool with which scientists can analyse the phenomena of the quantum world. Quantum mechanics reveals to us the formative symbolism of quantum phenomena, just as consciousness is built up through the formation of symbols.

When man began to explore the complexity of the microphysical world, he recognised a world that revealed something mysterious. Quantum physicists also discovered the dualistic and symbolic or mondualistic design that is universal in consciousness in the structure of matter, the "kinship" of which I demonstrated in my study In der Falle des Seins.[1]

This relationship is made possible by identification. Here is an example. A photon is a particle of light and a quantum of radiation, which has both electrical and magnetic properties. It not only has particles, but also wave properties. The quantum conveys an impulse as a connecting quality, comparable to the identification and symbolisation in material and spiritual forms of consciousness..

A rather surprising conclusion from the subatomic world of quantum physics is that the basis for understanding our world rests on this theory, opening up a level for scientists to explain the laws that govern the universe. Quantum theory explains both the movements of electrons and the origin of stars. Man's symbolisations are the "quanta" with which he shapes his own "universe" with his consciousness.

It also enables him to to penetrate the creation in which scientists are searching for a unifying interpretation. And it is also man's symbolic configurations in everyday life, in interpersonal relationships, in dreams, in mythological and religious content, with which he builds his life in consciousness. The symbolism that we form in our cognitions becomes a universally shaping phenomenon in both areas.

It enables him to penetrate creation, in which some scientists are searching for a unifying interpretation between consciousness and quantum theory. It is the symbolic formations of man in everyday life, in science, in human relationships, in dreams, in mythological and religious content with which he builds his consciousness. The symbolism that we form in our cognitions is a universally structuring phenomenon in all areas.

The question arises here as to why we can speak of symbolism in the material world. No science can recognise reality in itself, it only grasps a symbolic design (see definition in chapter 1). If we assume a cause of creation (big bang theory, creator), something with transferred effects and properties is present, which makes us wonder about a background that remains mysterious to us. The manifold interpretations that arise here, however, are not the subject of this essay; they can be found in my study already mentioned. However, I will come back to some aspects later.

c) The Confusion

The worlds of the largest and the smallest have led scientists into a confusion, As I was pursuing these problems, a dream appeared:

I am working on two machines, one huge and one very small. The big one has to be activated, but I need the small machine, to make the big machine work. It's all extremely complicated because there are many different electrical plugs on both machines that sometimes fit and sometimes don't. But I know that it is possible to start the big machine.

Interpretation: The small machine is the human being and his consciousness, the big one represents creation, which we are trying to penetrate. The interactions have to be created. Both are connected to each other through the 'plugs', i.e. through the four terms in the introductory picture, which we will now follow.

Symbolism and quantum mechanics are marked by discrepancies, but they are structurally connected. As already mentioned in the previous section, the particles also have a wave character. A wave, however, cannot be a material particle, but nevertheless there is a puzzling two-unity. Both unite to form contradictory shapes. This also corresponds to the reality of consciousness. A simple example: the symbol tree as a word is not reality, the tree is separate from the symbol, but nevertheless both are connected in an identification, a mondualism, which skips a gap.

Dualism prevails in all forms, in the material creation and in our consciousness, it lets us connect the four phenomena in the picture. They create the basis of creation and our cognitions in mondualistic forms. This connectedness lets us grasp the meaning and significance of creation and consciousness. But it also often leads us into great confusion, which spontaneously presented itself in a dream.

I am asked by a superior to travel to the capital of Switzerland to learn arithmetic and writing in the first class. I tell him that I already know both. He does not accept this and sends me off. I leave by car, but soon lose my direction. I keep travelling around and asking people for directions to the city. But I keep getting lost and this almost drives me to despair after driving around for hours. Finally I stop at a parking place and get out. When someone passes by me, I ask him, "Where am I, anyway?" His answer: "In Yugoslavia." At that point I was completely confused.

The problems we face in the different aspects can really lead one into confusion. This is true even for scientists working on quantum theory. Niels Bohr (Nobel Prize winner in physics) said, "Anyone who is not horrified by quantum theory has not understood it." Consciousness can be equally confusing. The confusion was also represented in the dream of the two "machines", because there the task was to connect them with many different plugs.

How is the problem of confusion to be interpreted? Despite the existing basis for comparison, both between relativity and consciousness and between quantum physics and symbol formation, these are completely different phenomena with different origins, which I am trying to connect with the appropriate "plugs" A strict objectivity no longer exists, however, because it is precisely the quantum world and symbolic formations that are beyond strict causality and logic. Chance plays along and builds invisible connections. A simple example of this: Compare the experiences of a dream and what they want to represent and say. How do we explain the invisible seams? Causally alone they cannot be deduced, we have to intuitively penetrate their meaning. Equally difficult to understand are the results of quantum physics.

In the introduction to this essay, I pointed out the structural connection between modern physics and consciousness. Without it, man could not penetrate the mystery of creation. We realise this when we try to imagine a world that is not made up of atoms, molecules, etc. No one can conceive of such a world. which reveals our limitations. For this reason, we must assume a connecting basic structure or primal structure from the quantum to consciousness, which I will try to demonstrate in the following sections.

d) The connectedness

A first view

My wife is always the symbolic representative of my theoretical endeavours in my dreams, both have grown close to my heart: I am standing in a boat preparing to leave. My wife hands me two parcels, the contents of which satisfy me. After I had opened them, she hands me two parcels again, which I accept only reluctantly, but I know that they are also necessary to enable me to leave for a foreign country.

Interpretation: In my dreams, my wife is always the symbolic representative of my theoretical efforts. The dream grasps the four aspects that are captured in the introductory image of this chapter 3a. The first two packages deal with the problem of consciousness and symbolism; the other two packages deal with the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, which prove to be a difficult subject, which I was aware of and which created my displeasure in the dream.

The human being as a being of matter in space and time is connected to the world in a strange way. In order to grasp this interconnectedness, I must now interpret the intersections between the material and spiritual creations, in which the concepts of the quantum world and symbolism are connected with Einstein's theories of relativity and consciousness. How are these structural and enigmatic seams to be interpreted? We recognise them when we realise that man himself is a participant in these phenomena, which, thanks to his mental capacity, enables him to penetrate and learn to transcend them. This lands us in the "crossword puzzle" of creation and consciousness, which leads us into the problem of the brain.

The brain is a physical organism and functions thanks to biochemical and electromagnetic signals. These signals are made possible by the activity of nerve cells in synaptic connections that combine in chemical and electrical reactions, which is why I described the brain as the "grammar" of consciousness. It gives us communication and insight. This also applies to language itself, because without grammar, language leads us to misunderstandings and confusion.

The brain's mirror neurones give us an initial indication of the connection, which become active when we perform an action or when we observe a person performing the same action. They activate social interactions (communication), empathy and learning, they control our experience but do not generate feelings, just as grammatical language rules in themselves do not determine the content of a statement. A detailed presentation of the scientific findings can be found in the study by G. Edelman and G. Tononi. [2]

On this basis, I try to give consciousness a expanded understanding. To do this, I have to present a view with an interpretation that opens up a new horizon for us. This brings us into the interconnectedness of the four concepts, which are presented in a simplified form and lead us from the macrocosm to the microcosm.

The connection between the four packages can be seen from the following derivation. Symbolism arises from the enigmatic identification. The micro and quantum world was discovered in the background of matter. Symbols are structured in the same way as quantum phenomena. These reveal to us the dual unity or mondualism of matter and energy - comparable to the identifying symbolic formations of consciousness. Identification animates the "universe" of consciousness, just as quantum mechanics activates the force fields of the objects in the universe. The human being penetrates the riddle of creation and becomes a co-participant in it, because he not only recognises its structure and its barriers, but also uses them to shape himself.

In order to give a face to this interpretation, I must inevitably - greatly simplified - reproduce some aspects from the special and the general theory of relativity and quantum physics, in order to then be able to prove the structural relationship with consciousness with their terms.

Many readers may initially find the following descriptions difficult to understand. However, when the context of the four terms is then explained, something meaningful emerges that makes it easier to understand. A brief insight into these theories is essential. The objectivity of scientific interpretations cannot simply be categorised as an abstraction, because their findings also relate to our own subjective experience. Human beings are co-participants in these findings. He lives in space, his body is matter and therefore bound by its laws. We ourselves change objectively and subjectively in the course of time, which we experience in a varying way, actively and passively shaping it. We ourselves are therefore the realising carriers of this knowledge.

Therfore, first a brief overview, that presents the basics of the theories of relativity (taken from Wikipedia):

1. Theory of relativity deals with the structure of space and time and the nature of gravity.
2. Special theory of relativity describes the behaviour of space and time from the point of view of observers moving relative to each other and the phenomena associated with it.
3. Building on this, the general theory of relativity traces gravitation back to a curvature of space and time, which is caused, among other things, by the masses involved.

This is now explained in a little more detail. Einstein's theory of relativity describes the motion and interaction of bodies and fields (example given: gravitational field, electric field) in space and time. There is no absolute time (in contrast to the absolute or constant speed of light in a vacuum) and no absolute (unchangeable) space. Space and time are always inseparable, which is called the space-time continuum. Relative means that at high speeds, mass, space and time are dependent on the respective state of motion of the observer. This means that the speed of one object in relation to another can only be measured relatively or, to put it another way, simultaneity is only relative. The faster an observer moves, the slower time passes.

Space and time therefore depend on the speed of the observer. A clock in a satellite runs slower than a clock on Earth because of the weightlessness. And the faster a stick flies through space relative to the observer, the shorter it becomes. So there is time dilation and length contraction. One practical application is the GPS (Global Positioning System), which uses time information to determine an exact location thanks to corrective satellite monitoring.

Accordingly, the theory of relativity records the interaction between matter and fields as well as between space and time. It is about gravity as a mutual influence. Einstein supplemented the three dimensions of space with time, which is called spacetime, thus creating a unifying concept - a fourth dimension. It reveals a special relationship with consciousness, which I will discuss later (see schapter 4).

The second foundation of modern physics is quantum mechanics. It describes the properties and states of matter and records the behaviour of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level. It forms the basis of quantum physics. There are controversial interpretations of quantum mechanics, which are discussed in detail in the study by Michael Esfeld (philosopher of science).[3] I adhere to the prevailing Copenhagen interpretation of Nils Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, as their theories reveal the most accurate correspondence with the phenomena of consciousness. Alternative views (e.g. the De Broglie-Bohm theory and the many-worlds theory) do not reveal any improvement on the Copenhagen interpretation. The collapsing wave function bothers critics, as it leads to paradoxes. However, if the structural relationship with consciousness exists, as I am trying to prove, then it is an indication of an authentic interpretation of Bohr and Heisenberg. However, none of these theories can be proven directly; they are theoretical models and their interpretations remain an open field of research, which also applies to consciousness.

As mentioned earlier, matter generates the phenomenon of energy in wave properties that go beyond the purely physical nature of matter; we speak of immaterial fields or quantum fields. Contradictory things appear, that cannot really be understood.

An example of this is wave-particle dualism. A subatomic particle shows the properties of both classical particles and classical waves, they are complementary. However, these properties are mutually exclusive (uncertainty principle), but alternative entanglements arise through superposition. In experiments, it has been proven that both properties are present, which is called a matter-wave. We encounter this enigmatic phenomenon again in the symbolic designs, as we find a similar structure in them.

In order to get closer to the mystery of creation, we need to look at the relationship between general relativity and quantum mechanics. This relationship has so far only been incompletely solved, since the theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to combine general relativity with quantum mechanics, has not succeeded. A unification of the interactions is still being sought.

The cause of this problem is found in the four natural forces of physics: gravitation or gravity, electromagnetism, weak and strong interactions in the subatomic region. However, gravitation cannot be explained by quantum mechanics - as just mentioned - because no force transmitter has yet been found, as is the case with the other three phenomena. This is interpreted in more detail.

Mass is the central factor that determines how strong the gravitational force between two objects is. Mass and gravitation form a mondualism, the connection between which scientists have so far sought unsuccessfully in an exchange particle - called graviton - that moves through space and time. We recognise the same problem in the interpretation of consciousness, which leads us into the enigma of identification in the matter-mind problem. If we try to synthesise these problems, we recognise a unifying connection that opens up a new horizon. Perhaps one day scientists will find a solution to gravity, but the enigma that appears in consciousness will remain. Many neuroscientists will disagre

Man as a material being lives in the space of matter and time, but in his symbolic and subjective formations he experiences and changes both time perception and matter as phenomena that can always be influenced in relativistic identifications. Just as the gravitational force creates the connection between bodies, the identifications build the symbolic-connecting formations of human beings. Relativity determines the orbits of planets and satellites, symbolism paves the way for the design of our lives. We need to keep in mind the overlaps between the four terms in order to recognise the comprehensive design and kinship.

In a figurative sense, therefore, it is true that the human being lives in the social and material environment through his consciousness itself in active and passive interactions ("gravitation"), which let him shape the creative symbolism with the manifold changing identifications.

The extended view

The two-part creation

The phenomena of the material world in the universe (the 'infinitely' large) can be understood in all areas of physics using the laws of quantum mechanics (the 'infinitely' small). This quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory of the world of matter particles - from the Big Bang to the atom to the world of stars. And the "life" of these objects are the force fields.

Consciousness is the tool with which we penetrate the world and thereby build up a symbolism that - as already mentioned - also allows us to understand the relationship with quantum mechanics. Just as matter is built up from the material particles combined with energy, so the symbols are built up from the analysis as the world of human experience and identification, which represents the spiritual "energy" as a "force field". The mysterious remains in all aspects.

With this alternative view, I try to prove this connection between the problem of the physical world and the symbol-forming consciousness. To simplify matters for the reader, I will repeat what has already been said. The starting point is based on the wave character of the quantum world, which is comparable to the symbol-forming of the human mind, whose formative possibilities can never be comprehensively predicted.

Symbol formation arises through identification, for which we also cannot find a binding explanation. Since there is no physical mode of transmission that allows us to grasp symbol formation, we are talking about psychic phenomena. The brain as the "place" of consciousness does not comprehensively explain symbol formation in its often puzzling variety, since electrochemical synaptic mechanisms could not in themselves generate or shape symbol formation. How a concrete symbol formation occurs cannot be proven with fixed causes, although there is talk of undetectable psychons..

To illustrate this connection, I have to refer in a very abbreviated way to the theories of quantum mechanics, which revealed to us a world at the atomic and subatomic level.

The smallest is represented in the enigmatic and contradictory quantum physics. Einstein, however, could not accept the interpretations of quantum physics, which makes the difference between quantum physics and the theory of relativity clear. As clear as symbolic formations often turn out to be aberrations from an analytical point of view, because they can express a seemingly unprovable connection. But already the symbol formations in everyday life and in languages contain a "spiritual" aspect, since they only come into being through identifications that are recognised and used as given in the social environment.

The image of classical physics changed dramatically with quantum physics, which denied strict objectivity. It describes fundamental phenomena of creation. Confusing are many of its fundamental terms such as lack of causality, superposition, entangled state, non-locality, action at a distance, absurdity, decoherence. Quantum events are subject to uncontrollable chance, they cannot be predicted. The structure of these concepts is also comprehensively demonstrable for the symbolic forms of our consciousness, but discussing them here is beyond the scope of this essay. But I give two examples below for ease of understanding. They are discussed in detail in my study: In der Falle des Seins.

One implication is that the fundamental interactions in the physical world between bodies, fields, particles and systems represent the interconnectedness of the four concepts (see introductory image of this chapter), as we also recognise them in the structure of consciousness and its symbolic formations. Matter (brain) and psyche therefore reflect the phenomena of quantum physics, which creates an enigmatic two-entity, a mondualism, out of the distinguishable two-entity, as it can be demonstrated in both aspects.

In a figurative sense, consciousness reveals to us the "energy" of the spiritual symbolic formations through identification. Compare a quantum field with identification. It connects two things via the "field" of identification without being subject to limits, which also applies to the quantum field. For two quantum particles that are arbitrarily far away from each other reveal their connection. If one of the particles is measured, the other takes on the corresponding property at the same moment. There is no explanation for this within the framework of the usual world view, a statement by the quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger.[3] Visualise the symbol of the tree, which connects reality and its symbolism at the same time, without having to see it.

So there is mystery in these connections, which I will illustrate with examples of symbolic consciousness formations. In the placebo effect, an inactive substance causes an effect that is not predictable, i.e. random, not deterministic, but probabilistic. Or: No one can predict a forming psychic development in its symbolic formation or a dream world. It takes place probabilistically and its emergence often reveals something mysterious. The occurrence of an event or a mental construct is realised from a probability.

This statement also applies to quantum effects. Physicist and philosopher of science Dirk Eidemüller captures this oddity:

"In the quantum cosmos, additional structural properties, invisible connections between particles and an invisible link prevail ... . Since then, the 'spooky' entanglement of the smallest particles has become the basis of many everyday technologies."[5]

The seam between symbolism and quantum mechanics tempts some physicists to explain consciousness from quantum physics, but they remain stuck in a purely material and mathematical limitation. Matter in itself does not show psychic phenomena, it only tells us about structural connectedness. Kristian Köchy (Professor of Theoretical Philosophy) points out the crucial background:

"Even the most modern functional imaging only detects changes in neuronal activity or cerebral blood flow. There is no scientific method for determining cultural influences or for interpreting the cultural relevance of biological events. .... Without the interpretation of signal differences in MRI images, the empirical findings of brain research represent nothing more than colourful pictures."[6] (MRI = magnetic resonance imaging).

The interpretations of the signal differences correspond to symbolic interpretations and designs.

We observe and grasp something with a word as a symbolic concept. The observable is not the symbol and yet it is. The two seem to be mutually exclusive, but they have an interacting reality. This also brings us back to the already mentioned phenomenon of wave-particle dualism in quantum physics, which shows an indeterminacy, because a wave cannot be a particle and a particle cannot be a wave. The electron is a particle but also a wave (described by an equation), while the properties of electrons as particles can be explained by the laws of classical physics. There is a two-unity in mutual connection, which I hold as mondualism. We speak of quantum objects that exhibit different properties when measured.

The content and meaning of the linguistic concept of symbols correspond, as it were, to the wave of matter mentioned earlier. The identification enables the mental symbol formation, the identification is the "wave". Both terms lead to a blurring, since they trigger contradictions. But it seems as if they received the same “baptism” in their structure.

One conclusion is therefore that the fundamental interactions in the physical world between bodies, fields, particles and systems represent the interconnectedness of the four concepts, interactions that we also recognise in consciousness and its symbolic formations. Matter (brain) and mind (identification) reflect the phenomenon of quantum physics, as material and psychic phenomena of consciousness are connected in a similar way, creating the enigmatic relationship from the distinguishable duality.

The quantum phenomena take place in the hidden invisible, but they form a basic building block of creation. And the symbolic formations of the human being are realised in an invisible space - namely in the phenomenon of the psychic or spiritual, in which we discover the basis of consciousness. Here we enter the bridge between the four structurally related bases. They build the world in its material structure and allow us to penetrate it with consciousness. The diversities and contradictions between them can only be seen with the realisation of the interacting phenomena of space and time, represented in the theory of relativity, and the symbol-forming consciousness in its kinship with quantum physics. They establish the connection between man and creation and allow him to become creative himself.

The intervention by man corresponds to an incision, because the autonomously proceeding evolution does not plan and does not think, although even in its background a purposeful direction can ultimately be recognised. I use the term evolution as the basis of the entire creation, which, according to the theories of physicists, began with the still controversial Big Bang. Controversial means that science cannot even come close to explaining the mystery of the primordial explosion.

The creative faculty of man does not seem to betray to us an accident of evolution, but there could be a hidden intention behind it that led to a two-part creation. Is there this hidden intention? It would explain the meaning and the connection of the four different terms, that open up the expanded horizon. Some scientists are trying to explain consciousness with quantum mechanics in a unifying theory. A unity is sought here that does not exist, because the aspect of the spiritual cannot yet be explained materially from brain functions alone.

Evolution - an broader aspect

We can now expand the mystery of creation on the basis we have created if we compare the structure of evolution with the structure of the two-part creation (see introductory image to chapter 3). It tells us a phenomenology. which is captured in the following overview

The relationship

The term symbolism of evolution means the transfer of characteristics to a further development, which corresponds, as it were, to an identification that initiates a new design. Scientists recognised its basis in molecular genetics.

The mysterious connections between matter and symbolism therefore exist in all relationships of creation - from the quantum to matter and to consciousness.

The material world is captured by the consciousness of man. With it, he penetrates into the essence of creation, the basis of which he discovered in quantum mechanics. Creation allows him to recognise evolution and molecular genetics in formative identifications. This also makes the essential difference between animal and human consciousness recognisable, as no animal can ever penetrate this world. For the realisation of the symbolic and identifying formative power and its creative dimensions are far beyond animal consciousness, Many scientists assume that they will ultimately derive a comprehensive derivation from evolution. Charles Darwin, however, took the difference seriously.

In summary:

1. Thanks to his consciousness, the human being experiences, grasps and changes the design of the world as space, matter and time as a participant. The phenomena combine in the interpretation of the theory of relativity.

2. Science grasps the secret of the original structure of the world in the structures and functions of quantum mechanics, which in their interpretation betray a kinship with the symbols of consciousness. The quantum arises from matter and energy, symbolism from analysis and identification. Energy and identification are the interfaces. The four aspects unite in the diversity of the phenomenology of creation and they form the basis of the bipartite creation as captured in the introductory image.

With this, only a parallelism has been grasped that reveals to us the primordial structure of creation. What has not been explained, however, is man's creative ability, for he transcends the horizon of the material world in order to build and dismantle his "own" world within it in symbolic formations. The enigma remains, which I will pursue next.

e) The interrupted linearity

With the four terms the second space opens (see dream from section 3). In doing so, we recognize the puzzle in which we can grasp the two-part creation as interrupted linearity.

The structure of material and biological evolution follows building up and breaking down laws that are subject to an autonomous process. Evolution cannot plan, i.e. it is not able to build a system that tries to establish the basis of its own development, because it has no consciousnes. Therefore, consciousness and its symbolism represent something completely new in their possibilities, which led to a revolutionary break. The structures of the two systems, however, are related, which forms the basis that enabled consciousness to penetrate the material world, to change it in order to become self-designing beyond evolution.

In the linearity of creation, the destructive is always a starting point for a new construction. It is impossible to see why creation in its evolutionary process should allow the consciousness of man to emerge, which is able to penetrate it and cause far-reaching changes that lead to a break in linearity. A classic example: The genetic material is interrupted with the gene scissors CRISPR (penetration of foreign genetic material). In evolution, it is chance that "decides" to initiate further developments; in humans, it is an intention. We cannot impute an intention to the material world itself that we cannot recognise in the autonomous course of evolution. It seems nonsensical that evolution should allow this rupture, unless we assume an underlying planning that gave man a formative freedom.

However, consciousness comes up against limits set by the material world. One example is artificial intelligence. Scientists are trying to use it to recognise these limits in the belief that they can use it to solve the matter-mind problem. But the mystery remains, and ultimately we end up with philosophical interpretations. I will not go into the variety of interpretations of the anthropic principle in its ambiguous definitions here.

f) The enigma of the human being

In the previous representations, a twofold design could be demonstrated. On the one hand, there is the unifying two-unity described by relativity and quantum physics. They form the First Creation (A). They form the First Creation (A). With it begins the evolutionary development. Opposite this creation is the consciousness of the human being and its symbolic formations. They correspond to the Second Creation (B). They are two different worlds, but they are connected by their mutually complementary, constructing and deconstructing structures.

But the material world (A) is independent, it does not depend on (B), because it developed completely on its own. As man appeared, he began to use it for himself, thereby transcending the boundaries of the world (A).

Evolution tells us a transition phase from (A) to (B), because in it also the animal world developed, in which a consciousness developed, with which it learned to perceive and use the environment consciously. But the animal consciousness came to a border, which opened only to the human being.

The animal world does not build verbal languages, religions, sciences or literary and artistic creations, it does not make agricultural cultivations, does not lead expanding wars for the exclusive seizure of power and also does not build concentration camps. And what seems to me above all ground breaking: The love and fellow humanity, as it can realize and experience the human being, exceeds every animal world of experience and creation.

If the essence of man were merely a product of evolution, then it is hard to see why scientists cannot ultimately build an android that can not only comprehensively capture the essence of man in terms of representation, but also contains it in reality.. Scientists penetrate the deepest secrets of material creation, and they explain consciousness through a global neuronal workspace in which the sum of information can be incorporated. Many believe in this. But how could scientists ever realise the subjective experience of humans in a robot and prove it as a truly experienced phenomenon? Moreover, they would also have to be able to realise in it the peculiarity of its social cooperation in all areas of its life, which is not demonstrable in the animal world, as the anthropologist M. Tomasello in particular has pointed out.[7] Obviously, there is no starting point in the synaptic and the biochemical interpretations that would allow these subjective phenomena to be neither produced nor recognised.

The experiment to fully simulate the human brain was attempted in the ten-year Human Brains Project. Behind was also the hope of finding a solution to the matter-mind problem. But it failed and was labelled as naive dreaming and a fantasy of omnipotence, although it also led to further insights.[8]

Humans seem to have received a special gift that gave us a spiritual-formative faculty that could not be proven in the purely material aspect (brain) until now. The insoluble problem of matter-spirit still exists.

I therefore stick to the assumption that we have to recognise the special nature of the human being and his consciousness, Human consciousness appears as a revolutionary intervention in creation, because the "animal" was able to get out of its bondage. It began to ask about the background, which reveals its peculiarity to us.

On the one hand, creation stands in autonomous development. Opposite it appears the human being who himself became creative. The contradictions mentioned in this third chapter are only resolved when we assume that man was given a creative "quantum" with which he learned to "play". This can be emphatically demonstrated with the example of the gene scissors mentioned above, because evolution never allowed anything to come into being that could consciously and deliberatly intervene in it and change it - until man came along.

With my belief in a Creator, I can reconcile the riddle of creation as symbolism and the creative faculty of man in its contradictions. A proof of God cannot be created with it, but the realisation of the unifying two-unity of creation, as I have presented it in this essay, gives us an unmistakable hint. In free and unfortunately also stray action, we realise the Creator's experiment with which he challenges us.

4. A synopsis - presented in dreams

Dreams are a work of art of consciousness, they can be signposts in our lives and open new horizons. They appear spontaneously or we ask for a dream design to be able to face a problem.

In symbolic images, they show us our life's formations in their good and burdensome forms. Dreams reveal backgrounds to us, they show and correct aberrations and insufficiencies. Dreams do not originate from an unconscious, but they help to build consciousness. With this I contradict many theories of dream interpretation. Fixed dream symbols, as you often read, are meaningless. Dreams can only be interpreted in the individual context of a person's life and experiences, which I have been able to prove in hundreds of dreams. I have cited a variety of examples in my studies.

In the case of psychological disorders, dreams appear that reveal the background of the illness and can be used as a healing factor. They open up a way out of difficulties and also reveal our shortcomings. I have been able to tackle the problems of psychosomatic disorders in many patients thanks to their dreams. I have been able to tackle the problems of psychosomatic disorders in many patients in my Swiss practice thanks to their dreams.

In order to show the special nature of the dreams, I asked for dream designs of my previous efforts after completing my studies. The following four dreams form a partial synopsis of my studies. I would like to use them to emphasise the depth and expressiveness of the dream world.

The first dream represents my entry into the symbolism of an African worldview, in which I was not only able to escape the clutches of the unconscious, but also gain a new perspective. The comprehensive account of her life can be found in the aforementioned studies (Symbols of Life, Symbols of Death, Karanga Mythology (see books, reviews).

Dream 1: A new view

I wander around in an African bush landscape, looking for something that is difficult to discover. Suddenly I recognise an entrance and slowly descend a steep slope. In the process, a fascinating landscape opens up to me. As I begin to wander in it, I suddenly see a huge gravel pit. In the middle of it stands a large, tower-like building, which I enter. Through many doors, staircases and corridors, I climb with difficulty and arrive in a room where I find a seriously ill African friend. My wife is also present. The friend is happy despite his serious illness and always brings a joyful smile to one's face. After a long conversation with him, I return to the countryside. I am amazed that I only had to step out of the door of his room to be back in the open air, the difficult climb into the room had disappeared.

Interpretation:

The dream reflects my explorations of the world view of an African culture. Access to it is not easy to find (hidden and difficult descent over the slag heap), but it surprises you when you begin to penetrate this foreign world (wandering through the fascinating landscape). Likewise, the difficult ascent in the tower of the gravel pit not only represents the problematic of the unconscious, but it also symbolises the difficulties of my ethnological research that I was able to carry out among the Africans (depicted as a visit to a friend), because - shaped by one's own culture - one has to enter a completely new world.

The friend I visit represents the Africans who have fallen into modernity (the gravel pit) due to inhumane colonisation and whose lives have led to severe confusion (my friend's illness). Nevertheless, I was always amazed at their infectious joie de vivre, which surprises every unprejudiced European. which I was often able to experience with our many visitors.

With the many African friends and the patients in the hospital, I was able to familiarise myself with the foreign world view over many years. As I wander back into the landscape, I no longer have to descend via the many corridors and stairs, but after opening the door I find myself directly in the newly discovered "landscape". How can this simplification be explained?

With the insights I gained with my "friend", I was able to put a new face on the many representations of the unconscious. The Africans opened up alternative interpretations that led me into another world, which saved me the descent through the many doors and corridors (western theories of the unconscious). I have presented the comprehensive view of this world in my studies (Symbols of Life, Symbols of Death, Karanga Mythology.)

My wife, who was present in the room, symbolises my theoretical efforts.

Dream 2; The repression of the unconscious

I enter a dark and gloomy hall that exists underground. I leave it and look for a room where I discard some things. I wander on and enter another room in which I feel comfortable. Here I put down the rest that is important to me, which I carry in my arms. As I look around the room, I discover a square opening at the bottom of the wall. Something strange happens: a small animal with a long tail jumps towards the opening. At the last moment I can hold it by the tail and pull it back. Then I kneel down in front of the small opening to find out what is hidden behind it. To my astonishment, I recognise the dark hall I had first entered.

Interpretation:

The gloomy hall symbolises the depth-psychological interpretations of the unconscious. I leave the room. Then I look for a new room. It represents fundamental insights of the sciences. They lead me into the next room. I can build alternative insights in it.. The dream here captures the two aspects mentioned in the section The Second Space, but also refers to the connectedness described in the section The Expanded View. I seek to penetrate the mystery of consciousness, which seeks to seduce one again and again into the enigma and interpretation of the unconscious. The little animal that I just catch from disappearing into the gloomy room symbolises the ever-present temptation to interpret with an unconscious.

The following dream I asked for sent me on a journey. It's about the unsolvable riddle of the matter-mind problem.

Dream 3; The journey

I am asked to embark on a journey in a large and beautifully shaped passenger bus with the assignment of travelling to the capital of the country. Having never driven a bus, I am unsettled by the journey ahead.. Nevertheless, I get on and begin the journey. After a while, I feel increasingly confident. I drive for hours through many areas and towns. Suddenly I come to a big wooden wall with only a small door, through which the bus could never continue. Some men appear who build a new and fascinatingly shaped door frame that fits exactly to the bonnet only. Unfortunately, the opening remains far too small and I turn back. As I continue my journey, I come across a safe place to park the bus. I get out and still check the underside of the bus, where I can move a displaced cover into the right position. I know that this means I don't yet know the way to the city, it remains a mystery to me. But I am reassured that the bus is in a safe place.

Interpretation:

What does the big bus mean? First of all, it points to the size of the problem when one tries to penetrate the question of human consciousness, because it shapes our lives in a great and often difficult to grasp variety. But it seems disturbing that I made the journey alone, although the bus would have had room for many people? Was this trip just an egoistic venture? Due to my stressful youth experiences, I was forced to take the "wheel" into my own hands. Anyone who reads my biography Armut und Reichtium des Lebens will find in it the answer for my "going it alone", until my wife also gave me the beauty of life.

The journey by bus represents especially my theoretical work, which was not always easy to manage. The size of the bus therefore also refers to the many experiences and events that influence the journey through our lives. With it, however, I was able to gain new insights, especially through my many years of work in Africa.

The wall I come up against represents the boundaries of science. The small and beautifully shaped door shows me the fascination of scientific knowledge, but it only gives me a glimpse of the mysterious creation, because it is limited to the brain as the "motor".

The bus, which I was able to park in a safe location, points to the basis of my theoretical and years-long endeavours for a new insight, but there are still "repairs" to be done (the corrective displacement of the cover on the underside). But the main problem of finding the way to the "capital" remains unsolved, it represents the matter-mind problem.

Many times I asked for a dream that could open the way to the "capital", but I never received an answer. One day I reversed my question. It was: Why can't I get to the city? I finally received an answer.

Dream 4: The fourth perspective

I enter my doctor's surgery, which is being remodelled. Three women are sitting in the anteroom. I start the consultation. The problems of the first two women are easy to recognise, they express themselves clearly and the disorders can be treated.

Then the third woman comes into the room. I ask questions, but I realise more and more that she can't explain her problem clearly in a comprehensible form. Something mysterious and inscrutable remains. But as I work my way deeper into her problem, it also becomes part of me, in which I can empathise with its symbolic realisations and statements. The "field of the psychic" opens up, as it were, in transmissions that help us both to interpret and categorise the symbolic formations.

Some boys are playing in front of the window, they are trying to get into our room, I had to send them away.

Interpretation:

The reconstruction of the practice symbolises the structure of my theoretical designs. The first two patients represent the first and second person perspectives. The first-person perspective is the subjective experience from the inside, the second-person perspective is the so-called "you-form", which gives the narrator the feeling of being part of the action. The third-person perspective reflects knowledge and experience from the observer's perspective from the outside, from a more objective and distanced point of view. The narrator is considered a neutral person.

I replace the fourth perspective (auctorial narrator) with the symbolic person perspective in order to capture the special nature of the interpersonal relationship. It is about the third patient, with whom the fourth perspective arises.

In my dream, she symbolises the identifications and represents the mysteriousness of consciousness, which builds a phenomenology beyond the three-person perspective that leads people into their unconscious and conscious experience and being, which builds a symbolism that connects them. This is because we use it to experience the identifications (see chapter 1) of our lives in which we search for answers and solutions. They characterise the symbolic formations in human relationships, in our everyday lives, in the sciences as analytical symbolism, in dreams, in intuitions and in psychological disorders.

The human being thus identifies with a form of consciousness that opens up a new dimension in symbolic connections, the meaning of which cannot be predicted and is often difficult to grasp. They form the fourth perspective that builds up in the psychic "space". This leads us back to the statements from section 3d, where spacetime was mentioned as the fourth dimension, which we also recognise as a structural connection with consciousness through identification.

The person thus identifies with a form of consciousness that opens up a new dimension in symbolic connections, the meaning of which cannot be predicted and is often difficult to grasp. They create a fourth perspective that builds up in the psychic "space". This leads us back again to the statements from section 3d, where space-time was mentioned as the fourth dimension, which we also recognise as a structural relationship with consciousness through identification.

To simplify matters for the reader, I will repeat - slightly modified - the earlier presentation. Space and time cannot be considered independently of each other, as they are inextricably linked. Space-time can be deformed by the gravitational field. In our psychic "gravitational field" and experience, changes are also constantly occurring that result in symbolic formations, i.e. in identifications that lead to the multifaceted organisation of our lives. Even evolution, with its almost infinite variety of innovations, is reflected in the constantly changing symbolic forms of the human being.. Construction and deconstruction constantly lead us to new symbolic forms in all areas of our existence. The identifications are the unspeakable, which creates a two-unit, which corresponds to the unpredictable symbol design. Linked to this is the unsolvable matter-spirit problem and the identifying connection. The title of this essay is: The consciousness of man in the universe. The same applies: The universe in the consciousness of man. We are one and we are two - the symbolism of comprehensive creation. This once again points to an underlying intention that could explain the meaningful one-ness and two-ness.

But the essential difference: The psychic formations in the identifications transcend the theory of the connecting physical fields of quantum physics, because the spiritual cannot be scientifically objectified. This expanded aspect also shows us the limits of the sciences, which must remain in the third-person perspective. This is symbolised by the disruptive youths outside the window; they cannot enter this world.

This once again emphasises the relationship and difference with the quantum world. I will summarise a statement by G. Börner (astrophysicist) in simplified form[1]. ectromagnetic waves propagate in space without a material substrate, they exist as pure form, immaterial, but nevertheless as real objects of the physical world. The electromagnetic current acts on matter and causes the electrons to oscillate, but is itself immaterial and determines the form of possible effects on the charged particles. This cannot really be "understood" because the solid classical world is crumbling, the author emphasises. Enigmatic phenomena therefore already appear in the physical world, but they are transcended by the human mind, otherwise it would not be able to penetrate them retrospectively.

The physicist Charles Wood quotes Emanuel Katz (physicist): "We do not know how to simulate the world - not even in principle, even with unlimited computing capacities".(3) In contrast, my interpretation says that we simulate the world with the symbol formations because the structural relationship between the two worlds provides the decisive basis for the symbol formations. There is no doubt that this is not a problem of computational capacities.

This reveals the basis of the two-part creation, as already mentioned in the third chapter (presented in detail in a study.[2]) Just as creation was built from the quantum world, man builds his world of consciousness with the symbolic formations. They enable humans to intervene in creation. The quantum world reveals to us the structure of the Creator, the symbolic designs in all their forms reveal to us the structure of our lives in the material and human field, for which we bear responsibility.

This is why the omnibus mentioned in the third dream is parked in a safe place and can now be used by anyone seeking the way to the "capital" for a further journey.
