Only certain aspects of the mind are the result of physiological processes.

Consciousness is causal, and physical reality is its manifestation.

All consciousnesses, regardless of their physical manifestations, are part of a network of life that they both inform and influence and are informed and influenced by; there is a passage back and forth between the individual and the collective.

Some aspects of consciousness are not limited by the space-time continuum.

I have written extensively elsewhere about the quality of the evidence for this interdependent/interconnected model.25 There are at least six double-blind randomized and stabilized protocols being carried out in laboratories around the world, by dozens of researchers, with results whose odds of occurring by chance are one in a billion or better. These careful studies, as revealed by meticulously structured protocols, all confirm this about consciousness: it is both local, sited in the physiology of the body, and nonlocal, existing independent of the body; and this aspect is not limited by space or time.

Is this work to be trusted? I have also discussed the quality and nature of the critical review of this research literature elsewhere in several papers.26 Here, I will just say, these studies have been exhaustively critiqued, and the results still stand.

All of this research plus the study of the biographies, autobiographies, diaries, and papers of the men and women who have had these nonlocal experiences, particularly those that produced technological breakthroughs, suggest that there is a pattern to the process. One of the things that distinguishes the creative masters from people who are just smart may be that those known for their creativity work out their own way of invoking this pattern. The techniques they use may vary, but there are six major components to the pattern that seem to be common to all.
