Lightning bolts as "binding consciousness" of humans on Earth: Ionosphere as Jung's Collective Unconscious

For example, Persinger (2012) demonstrated that
the frequency and current magnitudes of lightning strikes when scaled appropriately
contain the same intrinsic electrical current density as those of action potentials and the
frequency of lightning strikes, which is about 44 +/- 5 strikes per second or ‘40 Hz’
(Christian et al., 2003), approaches the ‘binding’ feature of consciousness (Llinás and
Ribary, 1993).

This is the Ph.D. thesis of a protege of Persinger -  and he uses music composition as a model for science analysis - very fascinating.

be most evident between the maximum widths of two hemi-ellipsoids which would occur
approximately at the level of the temporal lobes.
The dynamic asymmetry of the human brain has been attributed to the
approximately 10% greater white-to-grey matter ratios and blood flow in the right
hemisphere which is slightly larger and heavier than the left. The structural component
for most interactions between the two hemispheres, primarily the corpus callosum and
anterior commissure, is composed of numbers of axons that are less than 1% of the
numbers of neurons within the cerebral cortices of either hemisphere. Hence there
should be specific latencies for quantities of information to be transmitted between the
two loci.
Effectively the human cerebrum is two boundaries or loci within which processes
associated with more than 90% of the neurons in each locus remain and do not interact
directly with the homologous area in the other hemisphere. The differences in
morphological structure between the two cerebral hemispheres have been
underestimated.
more neurons became coherent the subject’s experiences shifted along a continuum
from “normal ideation” to vestibular and powerful thoughts, to “vivid perceptual
experiences” and ultimately to convulsions.
E. R. John [40] had shown
experimentally several decades ago that learning through different modalities was
transferable in a single trial if the frequency patterns of the pulses from different
modalities were identical. Interactions of input from different modalities information could
be synthesized into experiences.
An equilibrium model would predict that during this period there should be an
increase in current density within the right parahippocampal region as the Schumann
amplitudes decrease. That would suggest the direction of this metaphoric “Poynting
vector” would be towards the intracerebral locus. The direction of the equilibrium would
be from the ubiquitous Schumann sources into the right hemisphere.
being that has ever existed could potentially be stored within the earth’s geomagnetic
field. Accordingly, the transient interactions that occur along the earth-ionosphere-brain
axis approximately once every minute may be indicative of levels of consciousness that,
by definition, can only be perceived on their respective time scale and would potentially
be evidenced by the repeated but independent re-visiting of concepts and ideas that
permeated throughout the course of history, such as the interdisciplinarity that was once
central to the major creative achievements of the Renaissance period as well as during
the times of Ancient Greece. If this is true, Jung’s ‘collective unconscious may have
more relevance than suspected.
