It has become a fad for the new age humanists to dump the subject of "consciousness" on quantum mechanics or at least try to explain it away using quantum physics.
There is no denying the existence of "spirit" or even "consciousness." However, the unpredictable behavior of the electron in the sub-atomic level, verified by Heisenberg and double slit experiment, cannot necessarily be ascribed to "consciousness" or to the minds of the researchers. I'm convinced that the unpredictability in the sub-atomic behavior of the electron is due to light-induced consciousness rather than the minds of the researchers.
In the double slit experiment, in the absence of light; that is when the the researchers are not looking or paying attention, the electron behavior is predictable. However, in the presence of light; that is when the researchers are looking and paying attention, the electron behavior becomes unpredictable. Why?
Well in the absence of light, electron has no information, no consciousness, and certainly no free will - note, without light there's no observation. In the presence of light, however, electron has light-induced consciousness, information and free will. I contend that as consciousness-induced free will makes the behavior of matter unpredictable on the material level, the light-induced free will makes the behavior of electron unpredictable in the sub-atomic level.
All in all, free will is a burden on matter; it's the source of randomness and unpredictability in our universe.
