This is an excellent article above for you to read Mark. It feeds into what you are talking about. I further researched Brian Josephson https://philpapers.org/rec/JOSHOC who took me to Henry Stapp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYPjXz1MVv0. Henry Sta pp is easy to understand so anyone who eschews physics can enjoy listening to him explain things.
The sad thing is that DOD does not house our best brains....noone with the best brain immediately jumps to weapons and defense and destruction and control I'm afraid. Rather they go in the direction you are going. We need to get people like you and them on board with exploring all of this. .Also as many creatives as possible and people from every field of knowledge in the humanities and sciences.
In my recent book - still in process I wrote:
Quantum Mechanics unlike classical physics allowed me to understand this universal field of Spiritus Mundi or collective consciousness in quite simple terms. By filling what is called a causal gap, quantum mechanics shows that for knowledge to advance in all fields the observer must first decide what the question is to be. My belief and experience as a creative artist is that our brains grab those questions out of universal consciousness, allowing it to have a causal effect on our world. QM and my own experiences tell me that the minute we bring those questions into the physical realm and create a collapse of wave function (e.g. for me it would be ideas into novels, short stories and poetry, for a physicist it would be a new mathematical formula), important new knowledge is produced. By regularly exercising the creative right brain and making sure it is communicating well with the logical left brain on a regular basis, I believe one changes the structure of the whole brain permanently, and one also changes the way one processes information going forward in life. I think creative people in all fields therefore decide what questions they will ask out of a huge realm of possibilities. If one took this idea further perhaps nature/universe/cosmos has intended that human beings have been given the biological technology (brain) to interact perfectly with the field of consciousness which surrounds us. Anyway Bohm the physicist and Jung the psychologist would have had much to discuss. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to hear that discussion.
