Alternate theories should be a place where one can present alternate theories even if they are still on the drawing table. At the very least, discussion can help individuals come to an understanding. Some young thinker could spend months working his or her theory. A little direction could be helpful. The way it is set up is, if the staff does not agree, you are called strange. Instead of helping, one gets a strange slap for the effort.

Sometimes alternate theories may not be valid, but they may have points that can open the mind to other possibilities. This is constructive. When Copernicus posed his theories of the solar system it went from alternate directly to the strange-land. One may never know at first glance.

I will present an alternate theory by first posing it as a question? Is human consciousness restricted to the cerebral matter? Or can consciousness move or center itself in other parts of the brain beyond the cerebral. The example, that comes to mind are certain Yoga masters who can slow the heart to the point where the heart almost stops. The heart, at that level is controlled much closer to the brain stem. Is this action simply the development of conscious wiring from the cerebral to the brain stem, or can consciousness migrate to the brain stem and affect a change more directly?
