This new, mathematical theory of consciousness is called Integrated Information theory or IIT.
It says that a system’s consciousness arises from the way information moves between subsystems.
You can see neurons as islands of subsystems.
According to this theory, consciousness appears when the information flow between these subsystems is complex enough to make the islands interdependent.
Changing the flow of information on one island affects all the others.
How well a system integrates information is given a value called phi.
The higher the phi the more consciousness a system will display.
An example of a situation in which this theory works well is when contrasting the cerebrum and cerebellum. Cerebral damage affects our consciousness more because it has a lot of connections – so its phi value is high.

The Cerebellum isn’t so well connected, so damage doesn’t have as much effect on the conscious experience.
Problems
The theory has its drawbacks too.
A major one is that the value of phi actually can increase in our sleep.
It also still doesn’t explain our inner experiences, how does this theory explain our experience of the smell of coffee for example.
Some inanimate systems have more consciousness than humans.
Usually, the concept of inanimate objects or even the whole universe having the property of consciousness is just dismissed but, in this article, they discuss that particles may have some sort of consciousness that is fundamental and human and animal consciousness emerges from this.
The Conscious Atom
The article goes onto consider whether even electrons are conscious and how this may explain the measurement problem in physics – how the wave function collapses with our measurement or observation.
So the idea that everything might be conscious and there is something fundamental about consciousness is being discussed in mainstream science.
This idea forms the basis of The Black Hole Principle – it is the reason why we can’t see light beyond light speed – because it is beyond our normal perception. Consciousness is written into the fabric of reality.
It’s good to see mainstream scientists also discuss these issues.
Sometimes other dimensions can appear quite dramatically into this one. This time, I am going to discuss the time I woke up to see an alien in my bedroom.
The Perfect Life?
Back in early 2002, my life was very different to how it is now. I lived in a smart area of the UK just outside of London, I was working as a doctor, my husband was a doctor; he had just acquired a sports car and we had our own townhouse by the canal.
From the outside, we looked like the perfect, successful young couple. But the cracks had long been appearing. Ironically it was the initial success of the marriage I had entered into in 1995 that had given me the safe place to grow and I ended up changing dramatically. My spiritual growth had accelerated to the point that my husband no longer understood me and I was also deeply unhappy in a medical job that reflected the reductionist, fear-based paradigm.
Little did I know that this dissatisfaction at my life was part of a greater perspective orchestrated by other levels of consciousness that, even now, I still don’t fully understand. But I guess this is why, in around February 2002, I awoke to find an alien in my bedroom.
The Night Visitor
I was sleeping in bed with my husband and around 2-3am I awoke to find I was sleeping on my right side which was unusual and had the distinct sensation that someone was rummaging around in my back! I had the strange sensation of there being fingers actually inside my back which was hot but I wouldn’t say I was burning.
And in front of me was a strange sight. I can only seem to describe it as a blue blob that had a swirling within it. It looked to me almost like a water cooler bottle on its side. And it was edging, amoeba-like, out of the door. One of my immediate thoughts was that I didn’t understand why it had to use the door as it was in a different dimension and surely the door did not exist in that one.
The other was, I must admit, a bit of fear. At the time, I had just starting channelling and the beings coming through me said that their collective name was Angelis. So inwardly I pleaded, “help me, Angelis”. But then a thought which felt intrusive as if from outside myself said, “how do you know this isn’t Angelis?” I realised that I didn’t know.
I tried to wake up my husband to see it, but I could not rouse him. I knew it was not meant to be – that he was not meant to see it. So I relaxed a bit watching the thing move away.
The dimensional overlay
And the rest of the room was in a sort of eerie light. I could see overlays of other dimensions onto this one. I realised the futility of what we think is property ownership. We don’t really own anything in 3-D – there are many dimensions above this one that makes all that seem so irrelevant.
For the rest of the night, my consciousness seemed to dance around the planet. I went anywhere a thought would take me. I flew over the countryside of England looking at green fields and in the state that I was in, I saw different aliens just wandering around.
There are many different types that exist in the different octaves of dimensions all around us. But we don’t normally perceive them.
I wondered if they really did land on The White House lawn, so suddenly my consciousness saw the deals done behind our back between aliens and USA government agencies.
At one point, I went to visit my friend in her flat in London and her emotional body appeared like a matrix of intersection points – some seemingly thicker than other points. I intuitively knew what the emotions were that were stuck there and helped to release them.
Journeys in consciousness
For much of the rest of the night, I had more explorations in consciousness – most of which I cannot remember. At one point I was in the jungles of Central America and being shown that many more pyramids are covered by vegetation and just waiting to be discovered.
This last revelation may be already known to you but at the time a) this wasn’t often discussed if at all and b) it wasn’t something that I knew about from my education so far. A week or so later I saw confirmation of this in an article in New Scientist. In fact, at the time of writing a news story is breaking that even more extensive Mayan ruins have been found in Guatemala.
We are all from Krypton
I also got a feeling that I understood how to move my consciousness in order to do certain feats, even some we normally associate with the comic character Superman! Have you ever seen the sections of the Superman films when other visitors from the planet Krypton discover their powers here on Earth? They can fly and they can stop a bullet. Well, these are all things we can do too!
Our bodies are made up of information and consciousness – we know this from physics. At the macro level we think we are solid but deep into the atom we are ’empty space’. What I realised in the altered state was that we can actually move this consciousness any way we want. Most of us are not at the perspective to be able to do this but some people have developed themselves enough to be able to manipulate reality, although it takes a lot of practice.
That day I realised it is possible to manipulate consciousness so that we can fly. Or even will the atoms in your own hand to come together so strongly you can stop a ‘speeding bullet’.
Implanted for Blast Off
As for the hands in my back. I somehow knew I had been implanted with a geometry of consciousness that was a triangle or pyramid. I had travelled to ancient pyramids throughout the night. Later that day, I looked up a passage in the book by Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn that discusses how we may start to be implanted with shapes including the triangle and it felt so true to me.
As you may or may not know, my life changed dramatically after that. You could say that I stepped out of the box that I had been living in so far. I wonder, but cannot know for certain, if I was somehow being prepared for the changes about to happen in my life.
If so, it is an amazing reminder of just how orchestrated our lives are at some level. I did not call in a being or even consciously wish for the changes. But somewhere in the universe, it was decided that there would be an ‘alien’ in my bedroom.
You may have noticed people discussing the concept of UFO Disclosure. This is the idea that governments, especially that of the USA, are going to admit they have already been in contact with UFOs and extra-terrestrial intelligence. Sometimes it includes the possibility that the public at large is going to be exposed to alien contact in the not too distant future. But as we shall see, I feel that this is taking people away from accessing the dimension within. It is what I call, The Disclosure Dimension.
Over the period of 20 years, I have watched various phases of intensity of anticipation that the US government is going to admit that it has had UFO contact. Some may even be hoping that all details about a Roswell UFO crash, Area 51 and other potential evidence of alien visitations to this planet will be finally revealed.
I am not denying that this could indeed happen and that humankind may, in the near future, start to get used to contact with aliens, but in my mind, the whole Disclosure scene is a big distraction.
Some of the main proponents may even be government agents, creating this distraction so that people who are waking up spiritually pay more attention to the idea that governments are in charge of human and alien contact than their own empowerment.
Alien worlds within
The truth is that each and every one of us has the potential to have alien contact at all times, most of us just do not know it. And I see the whole Disclosure movement as one that is misleading people as to the nature of aliens.
The Disclosure movement perpetuates the notion that aliens exist in the same way that we exist: as flesh and blood, three-dimensional beings. So people who are waiting for Disclosure are on the lookout for something physical – a craft or a body. They are expecting something they can pick up and touch.
But what this does is keep people from exploring their inner space, where they would find they have a hotline to ‘alien’ realms anyway. Whether or not it intends to do so, the Disclosure movement distracts people who would otherwise be spiritually awake and keeps them looking at the government instead, waiting for a physical UFO to appear complete with little aliens.
In short, the Disclosure movement distracts you from your true heritage and abilities – your multidimensionality.
The Alien Dimensions
I say ‘physical’ and flesh and blood vs dimensional beings but in reality, nothing is physical and solid. We know that from over a century of scientific investigation. We also know that there are strong reasons for the idea that we are living In a universe of many dimensions of reality.
As I have written about extensively elsewhere, the universe is one of many dimensions of consciousness. We are in just one of them. This is probably why so much of the universe is hidden to us in so-called dark energy and dark matter. We are aware of so little around us.
There are myriads of dimensions of consciousness and they are brimming with all sorts of beings from what we would call ghosts to fairies to angels and aliens. Aliens are not extraterrestrial but interdimensional. The UFOs, alien encounters and abductions that are reported are due to the ability of beings to cross dimensions. In fact, all paranormal and supernatural activity is down to other dimensions leaking into this one.
In the case of what we call aliens and UFOs, they seem to have developed the ability to come into our world at will. One of the tell-tale signs of this, I think, is the peachy orange glow that many people report seeing around UFOs. I think this is an artefact of the step-down process to take something from another dimension and bring it into this one.

Alien contact is happening now
Aliens exist and they exist all around us in different frequencies. If we were to tune into these frequencies we would see them too. People throughout the ages have been doing this. Some have been taken out of our dimension and into theirs against their will. This is called alien abduction.
Sometimes people are able to see alien beings and receive messages from them. This is called mysticism clairvoyance and channelling. Multidimensional people have long known that we are not alone.
There are growing numbers of mystics now as the human race is evolving. I have encountered many people who have experienced beings in their bedrooms at night. The stories are fairly similar. I myself have seen UFOs several times and interacted with the consciousness of them too. I have myself seen a being in a different dimension at night and went on a journey of consciousness that confirmed all that I am saying here. I will link to that article later.
The Disclosure within
Inner access to Dimensions Image: Pixabay
What is stopping most people from experiencing the same is the personal development required to become more interdimensional. Most people won’t even go there because these things are deliberately ridiculed and hidden in our society.
A big part of this is also because rulers throughout the ages have gained their power source from beings in different dimensions and they don’t want the general public to find this out, hence the ridicule of anybody who suggests it.
So when it comes to Disclosure, understand that you could be being distracted from true contact. That contact is within you and you don’t need to wait around for a government agency to reveal this to you.
Let’s take back our power collectively anddevelopour own minds and consciousness into accessing other dimensions. This is when we will have the true disclosure within. To explore the connections between Higher Dimensions in science and ‘alien’ consciousness, check out Simply Divine: an Easy Guide to the Science of Spirituality.
There is a growing awareness of a discrepancy in the world – there are a few people who have the power and they keep the rest of us under control. Some people are becoming aware of other levels to the control such as alien or reptilian beings. Whatever your take on this, this concept can create fear. So this time we are going to be doing a Meditation on Integrating your Inner Lizzie.
The Point of no Return
In the year 2001, right after the 9/11 incident, I was visiting some friends. They had the TV on which was showing a memorial ceremony for the people who died in the event. My friend asked me if I could see ‘them’. He was referring to the interdimensional beings that were around the senior politicians of that time. Until that point, I had heard the concept that interdimensional beings were controlling our world leaders, but thought it was far-fetched.
But as I watched this memorial, my vision somehow shifted and suddenly I saw them. They were standing behind certain public figures and were psychically attached to them. They were tall and almost integrated into the humans that they followed.
I was stunned. Suddenly David Icke did not look like the nutter that everybody thought he was. I now literally could see what he was talking about. And so began a period of my life where I began to consume a lot of material about the controllers of the world. I avidly read the book by David Icke called ‘The Biggest Secret’ and learnt about The Money Masters and other aspects of what is known as conspiracy theories.
Intergalactic Tank Girl

I began to feel that we were in a battle and we would need to literally fight interdimensional beings who secretly controlled our world and created perpetual wars. Like some Intergalactic Tank Girl, I felt I needed to ready myself as a warrior. Underneath all of this was a very real emotion – FEAR. Reading about the hidden controllers of the planet was making me fearful. You see this new paradigm I had fallen into was all about separation: them and us.
Integrating the Light Strand
One day that all changed. I was pondering to myself about the fact that we share our DNA with reptilian beings and whoosh something happened. I understood the unity. It was as if a light strand had plugged into place in my being. I realised that no matter what, we are all part of each other and every being is a part of the unconditional love that pervades the entire universe.
From that moment on I was no longer fearful and let go of the idea that I needed to be a Tank Girl warrior. I know there are very real issues going on in the world but starting with separation and perpetuating that stance isn’t going to help.We are all from the same source ultimately and it was with this consciousness that we need to move forward. It isn’t enough to have unity consciousness about things that you like and having it all go out the window for something that you don’t like.
The Human Game
Some years later I had a vision and I saw that just as humanity, as a collective, were descending from source and higher dimensions, a bit split off and it is this split that became our nemesis. We did this to ourselves because we are THAT powerful. We needed to create for ourselves the grit by which we will grow. The human race are not victims, they are more powerful than we can imagine. We are here playing a game to learn.
But we created that game out of love for ourselves to grow. It is hard to see that from a 3D perspective when all we see is suffering and death and I don’t mean to say that the pain should not be expressed at that.
But there is a big picture. Ultimately we will all go on to a different plane and we take our learnings from this incarnation.
So we have created a nemesis for ourselves from the fullness of our being as a human race.
Integrating your ‘Inner Lizzie’
But what can we do to alleviate the fear? Well, I have a process that I call Integrating the Inner Lizzie. I actually was requested to speak on this by one of my readers and we recently did an online meeting when a meditation spontaneously arose to heal the Inner Lizzie. It was quite powerful and I have noticed the different feeling I have afterwards.

What do you make of this week’s blog? Do you think this is all nonsense or do you think coming out of fear at the politics of the world is a good idea? Let me know in the comments below.
As I am writing this it is nearing Christmas 2017 and a lot of people are selling courses and promises of facilitating a fantastic year in 2018. But how realistic is it to have a great year one after another? Here’s why I think the concept of your best year ever is nonsense.
My best year ever?
Back in 2013, I had what would be in most people’s terms, my best year ever. This one year included travelling to California and speaking at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in front of, amongst others, Astronaut, Edgar Mitchell.
Speaking at IONS was one of my dreams and to top it all off, I was inundated with great feedback. I came back and went straight to the Glastonbury Symposium where I spoke at the special evening event and to my surprise, the room was packed despite it being a hot July conference with no air conditioning.
That very same month author, David Icke contacted me personally to ask me to create the show which would become Hidden Science. So I became a TV presenter and producer that year. We also got the trailer out for Punk Science Movie, pushing that whole project forward.
I then went off to Malta to speak at the Body Talk Conference as a keynote speaker and had a magical time with wonderful people chatting away on beautiful hot October evenings.
To top off this amazing year, I turned 40 in November and had an incredible birthday party ever with some of my closest friends.
A different path
It really was the most incredible year and in anybody’s books would qualify as a ‘best year ever’. But would I want to stay in that moment? No! I don’t want to headline at Glastonbury every year, sorry but I don’t.
Since 2013 my life has taken a different path which has involved some very hard work creating and launching online courses, learning how to create my own website as well as online marketing and editing hundreds of videos to use as course modules. It is a very different type of work. A lot goes into it upfront and there is no immediate audience reaction. It is insular and lonely at times.
So the years from 2014-17, probably don’t look like my best years from an outside perspective. They have certainly been some very tough moments including moving house and our cat, Lulu passing away.
But life is an evolution. We don’t stay static but build and grow. Yes, it has been isolating hard work to create and launch my courses but at the same time, it has been laying the foundations for a different type of experience in the future and a new way of conveying my message. In some ways, I have had to start from scratch again but it is also building on everything I have done before.

The cycles of life
This is how the cycles of life are; you have highlights and your time in the limelight (whatever that means for you) and then you have other times germinating and creating something new. They are equally important. Although some years may not look or feel like the best years, they are all part of the process of what makes you who you are. Quieter years of introspection and preparation can also be part of your big why.
The ancients knew about these cycles of life and for a while now, I have loosely kept track of my yearly cycles in a system called 9-Star Ki. By looking up your date of birth in the system, you can find your nine-year cycles. According to this system, you go from germinating a seed to being in the limelight over the course of nine years with different stages in between. You have guessed it, 2013 was a year nine in my cycle!
What happens after you reach the end of any cycle? Dissolution then occurs and you start all over again with something new. It may look like your life is not progressing in those quieter years but it can take time to build something new.
The Real Meaning of ‘best year ever’
So when people discuss the concept of you ‘best year ever’ which they are wont to do each 365 days, what do they really mean? A year where there is no dissolution or death? Or simply a year where you make more money than last year?
The years of introspection are also incredibly important and you cannot judge those times as inferior. They may not be as comfortable to live through but they are important aspects of your life.
In my opinion, the concept of a ‘best year ever’ is actually about being the most comfortable in all sorts of ways and I don’t just mean financially. But life is about a variety of experiences and sometimes you need to go beyond comfort in order to grow.
Your Higher Self and Black Holes
In my work, I have applied The Black Hole Principle to our personal lives and demonstrated how it is not our ego self that manifests our lives, but the aspect of us that is beyond space and timesometimes called the Higher Self.
Even the years you find difficult and testing are all part of the pattern of your life. These are the experiences that make you and help you to reach deeper into who you really are.
So it’s not that every year becomes your best year ever but that the concept goes out of the window as you stop judging your experiences as bad or good but accept your life as it is – the product of your infinite creation.
Amazon just sent me an email highlighting their Vegan-friendly gifts. It included t-shirts and shopping bags with the slogan ‘Eat fruit, not friends’. This immediately made me feel conflicted as it implies that there are certain objects in life that are conscious such as animals and other things that are inanimate and unconscious such as plants.
But when you are a multidimensional person, tuned into many levels of consciousness, you realise that nothing is an inanimate object so the concept that some things are living and conscious and other objects are not, just doesn’t work. It also raises the issue of what to eat when you are dimensionally aware.
Consciousness in all things
Ever since I had a kundalini awakening when I was 18 years old, I have been tuned in to many levels of reality and I realised that everything is actually part of the one mind. It was a moment that profoundly changed my life.
So now I am able to sense the consciousness in all things – both so-called inanimate and animate. And I am not just talking about hearing the spirit of trees, I have even been known to have chats with pieces of furniture! This level of functioning is a bit too much for everyday life so I tend to tune it out.
The Confessions of Basil
A few years ago I had an experience which really made me rethink what it is to be vegan or vegetarian. In the days when I was still eating meat, I was cooking a meal that involved fresh basil. I had shopped for this meal in Tesco supermarket on one of my late night shopping trips after the gym, so none of the packet basil was left. I picked up one of the living herb pots and brought it home.
Later, whilst cooking with the basil and tearing off some of the leaves I heard, with my clairaudient ability, somebody saying ‘ouch’ in an indignant fashion. Perturbed, I carried on but I realised that the Basil plant was speaking to me and telling me its annoyance at having its leaves torn off!
Although I cooked the meal, I continued to ‘hear’ the Basil plant as it complained about being treated in this way. Through telepathic communication, it told me of factory farming of herbs and how difficult it was for them.
I must say I was a bit concerned I would no longer be able to eat anything. I mean if both animals and plants are so alive to me, then what exactly can I eat?
Lessons from Baz and Paz
I told James who thankfully understood and Baz, as he became known, became a member of the family taking pride of place in my office in our then home in Buxton. He started to grow so large that we re-potted him several times.
Me and Baz
We took him for ‘walks’ whilst he was still small enough for us to carry him and he would sit outside in Nature facing the trees in the woods. One day he said, “shall I show you how we talk?” And then he sang a song of consciousness in vibration and colour. He was singing to the trees. He told me that this is how plants communicate.
I also heard Italian Parsley (or Paz as she became known) talk to Baz about their purpose in life. Paz said to Baz, “this is our lot. We are grown to be eaten and then we are born again. Nourishing humans is our purpose.”
But Baz wasn’t having any of it. No humans were worthy of eating his leaves. Now I understand why Basil has a reputation of being King of herbs although, in Native India, Basil is seen as sacred and the Queen of herbs.The British Empire changed it into a masculine herb!
Tuning into your body’s needs
Although I am vegan now, apart from the odd bit of fish, I am not doing this just out of concern for animal cruelty. Truth is, I have long had a difficult relationship with meat and dairy even as a small child and it has been a relief that, as a woman, I have now entered a different phase in life and my body no longer feels like it needs meat.
Spare a thought for the plants and remember Baz
So going back to the Amazon T-shirt slogan, ‘Eat Fruit, not friends’ – to me, there is nothing that isn’t our ‘ friend’. Plants are our friends too. So if you are vegan because you believe that this is the cruelty-free way, spare a thought for the plants who are factory farmed, who feel pain and sacrifice themselves to be part of our cycle of life.
Sadly Basil, a native of much hotter climes did not make it through the cold winter of the Peak District despite a valiant attempt to make it through. As he left me he told me to look for him in all Basil plants as his spirit would go back to be at one with them all.
Baz got even bigger than this!
