The Monroe Institute has invited me to speak at its biannual scientific meeting, October 25-November 1st, 2025. I am jetting from the American College of Rheumatology medical conference to an institute dedicated to investigating human consciousness!
My talk is titled: ‘Consciousness in Action: A Physician’s Journey from Autoimmune Disease to Healing with Information Medicine®’
As I considered the connections between medicine and consciousness, it’s clear that medicine has been devoted to the idea of objective science since its inception, as outlined by René Descartes in 1637. Every drug trial uses the Cartesian coordinates, x and y axes, and we turn to this to decipher the truth about disease and health.
How do you transform 400 years of objective science to arrive closer to what consciousness is? After all, 2-dimensional medical graphs do not reveal much about who YOU are. Numbers, charts, and lab values have become proof of reality. Most decisions in your doctor’s office are made based on these “objective” numbers. The moment we encounter something that can’t be plotted or quantified, we spiral into doubt—into skepticism. The thinking human, Homo sapiens, quickly becomes the doubter, Homo dubitat.
In the spotlight is another unanswered problem. What is consciousness? It is one of our greatest mysteries how your physical body has these abilities to appreciate, think, and act beyond purely brain cells firing. If this is mysterious, consider that all teeny-tiny subatomic particles that make up your body and the vast cosmos are interconnected!
No matter how I look at the problem of 'what is consciousness?', since it requires my consciousness to investigate consciousness, it is impossible to do an objective study of consciousness concepts. You might argue that your consciousness can interpret the data of another. But the energies of consciousness interact on a universal level, and this argument becomes invalid. Study of consciousness is subjective. It cannot be objective.
Tillerian physics quarantines the objective-subjective debate. Consciousness does things by creating new “stuff.” The stuff is your thoughts. Thoughts are your intention. By your intention, your consciousness makes new information. Bingo!
Information in medicine is disease categories. Information is the 2-D drug graphs. Your fear-thought of disease is information. The drug your doctor prescribes is information. Information is all around you, and it is the product of human creativity, whether we like the results or dislike them.
At the Monroe Institute, I will present intention as a creative force of consciousness for generating new, healing information using language. Words are one way to actualize your intention out into the world. The new healing information is used to heal another human body. Using clinical examples from my practice, we can map out the effects of inputting new information and its impact using the exact Cartesian coordinates that medicine utilizes. And the cool part? The healer's consciousness does not need to touch or even communicate directly with the patient.
If you think the above is impossible, put aside your Homo dubitat for a moment. What is an external bedside doctor-patient ritual becomes an internal rite with a clear intent to help another. Your consciousness expands. You become God’s instrument to do good in this world.
Intention is your God-given gift! It is a powerful tool that opens and increases your bandwidth into untold possibilities. You can heal your body with your intention. Descartes would agree.
Dubitatio initium sapientiae est.
Translation: “Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.”
God bless you all.
