Fascia, Consciousness, and the Dance of Microtubules

What is consciousness and where is it processed? We know that neuronal microtubules—those hollow tubes inside neurons—are central to intracellular transport, polarity, and possibly quantum coherence. Dr. Hameroff's Orch OR theory suggests they may host quantum processes that give rise to conscious moments.But here’s the twist: fibroblasts, the cells embedded in fascia and the extracellular matrix, also contain microtubules. These aren’t quantum processors in the Orch OR sense, but they’re deeply involved in mechanotransduction—how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, biochemical signaling that regulates microtubule polymerization, depolymerization, and interaction with motor proteins. And, while the ECM doesn't have microtubules, under a microscope, the collagen fibrils looks like microtubules - a mirror of one another to express connection and potentially quantum entanglement. Could fascia and ECM act as a resonant field, modulating the quantum spark of neuronal microtubules? Could consciousness be not just a brain-bound phenomenon, but a full-body experience—a symphony of coherence between structure and vibration?That’s the inquiry I’m bringing to you today by asking four pioneering educators about their idea of life, consciousness, and quantum processes still being discovered today. Joining in on this round table discussion is Dr. Stuart Hameroff, Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau, Dr. Carol M. Davis, and John Sharkey to talk about this topic and see if there's a link that we haven't considered about consciousness as a whole-body process. Enjoy!
