Editor's note:
Dr. Frederico Faggin is one of the heavyweight scientist-inventors of the 20th century. In 1971 he developed the first silicon chip, the microprocessor at the heart of all electronic devices today. He also produced the new touch-sceen technology.
Currently, he is writing, lecturing, and advocating what he feels to be an even more fundamental revolution in science - that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all reality.

Consciousness resides in the fields not the states.
This means that the electron, or physical matter, is not conscious, but the underlying field is.
Our physical body (or brain) is not conscious, with consciousness localized in quantum fields. Therefore, when the body dies, consciousness is not affected.

Editor's last word:
Also see youtube interviews of Dr. Faggin, for example, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Q_W6H_nZk
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5REKKkKZpY
wherein Dr. Faggin makes comments, such as, "The structure of matter is isomorphic [“equal form”] to the cognitive structure of consciousness, which can reflect itself [in matter]"; our "bodies reflect the accumulated learning of consciousness; matter is the ink with which consciousness writes its own self-knowing."
