The indifferent process of natural selection has been dubbed "the blind watchmaker"
by Richard Dawkins. Arguments against natural selection are presented that relate to both
ontology (reason-based) and epistemology (evidence-based), and the belief that the blind
watchmaker drives evolution is revealed to be only a stipulation, at best. The belief is found
coming from a metaphysical preference towards naturalism. A new account of evolution is
presented that does not hold naturalism as a preference, and permits teleological (or guided)
evolution and vitalism. This new account departs from the hidden agenda of naturalism, and fully
discloses its preference towards self-evidence in its pursuit of truth.

This study demonstrates the capability of external signal recording into memory and the reproduction
of memory trace of this pattern in EEG by direct AC electrical stimulation of rat cerebral cortex.
Additionally, we examine shifts of the DC potential level related to these phenomena. We show
that in the course of memory trace reproduction, consecutive phases of engram activation and relaxation
are registered and accompanied by corresponding negative and positive DC shifts. The observed
electrophysiological changes may reflect consecutive activation and inhibition phases of
neural ensembles participating in engram formation.

This paper demonstrates that by using Noetics, the mind can quantitatively track the
earth's annual elliptical orbit around the sun, due to the change in the earth-sun
gravitational attraction. These measurements have a remarkable correlation
coefficient of 0.9999 to the inverse of the Newtonian gravitational force raised to the
power of 6.

I predict a new translational-rotational coupling in rotating frames that may have been
missed hitherto. This eq. 1.12 below should give rise to new physics of clamped charges
in rotating capacitors for example. Since accelerating frames are also locally equivalent
to Newton's gravity force there may be some new quantum mechanical effects here as
well.

It is our comprehension that Conciousness is both transcendent and immanent as simialarly
understood in Hinuism. The transcendetal aspect of Conciousness produced and
influences reality through self-referential spin as the interactive output of Conciousness. In
turn, relaiuty produces and influences immanent aspect of Conciousness as the interactive
inout to Conciousness through self-referential spin. The spin-mediated copnsciousness
theory as originally proposed has mainly dealt with the immenant aspect of Conciousness
which is driven by the self-referential spin processes. This paper focuses and "e;regurgitates"
on the transcendental aspect of Conciousness which drives the self0referential spin
processes.

This paper summarizes experimental support to spin-mdeiated conciousness theory from
variuos sources including the results of our own. Ind oing so we also provide explanations bases
on this theory to experimental phenomena such as out-of-body experience and sensed presence.
quantum-like cognitive functions and optical illusions. Whether one agrees or not with the
spin-mediated consciousness theory is for one alone to judge. In any event, the importance of the
experimental results mentioned in this paper is obvious: quantum effects play important roles in
brain/cognitive functions despite of the denials and suspicions of the naysayer and skeptics.

The issues surrounding quantum brain/mind/conciousness research are both confusing and
complex. If one can manage to grasp these issues, one may find that the past of this field has
been fruitful and its future is indeed very promising. The current landscape and past
achievements in this filed have already been discussed by our colleagues as pointed herein.
This editorial mainly attempts to classify/clarify some of the major issues and discuss what
are lying ahead. Whatever difficulties may still remain, recent experimental results by
several groups including those of the aauthors' own make it very clear that quantum effects
play important roles in brain functions despite of the denials and suspicions of the naysayer
and skeptics
