Based on the text provided, here is a bullet gist:
Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE): Also called the "watched pot effect," this phenomenon, first noted by George Sudarshan and investigated by Henry Stapp, suggests an unstable quantum state can be maintained by constant observation or attention.
Analogy: It's "as if we could literally keep a pot of water at the brink of boiling by looking at it."
Stapp's Hypothesis: Stapp believes this effect could potentially be used to maintain quantum brain states through willed attention.
Neurological Correlates of Meditation (Hypothetical Dashboard Display): Profound meditation is associated with the following brain activity changes:
Left Parietal Region (Body Image): Shows a significant decrease in activity, causing the mental dissolution of the boundary between self and the world.
Right Parietal Function (Space/Time Orientation): Shows a similar drop-off, leading to a feeling of being "nonlocal" or no longer occupying fixed coordinates.
Right Prefrontal Lobe (Worry/Anxiety): Is idling or reduced in activity.
Left Brain (Joy/Alertness/Enthusiasm): Is surging with activity.
Meditation Practice and Goal:
As one becomes adept, these neurological changes are recognized, signaling the time to cease counting or object-oriented concentration.
The focus becomes creating a "fertile place for the seed of perfect coherence" to sprout.
The result is a feeling of blissfully expanding, dissolving, and connecting, sometimes accompanied by tears of joy or "coming home."
Sustaining the Effect: More practice leads to being able to sustain the personal Quantum Zeno Effect for longer.
