Conciousness does matter.
The following is taken from the physicist Dr. Amit Goswami:
"Materialist science is not the whole picture. What do we mean by materialist science? Materialist science takes it as its basic axiom that everything is matter. We have literally managed to train a whole generation of students on the idea that everything is material, but this Newtonian world view that has shaped our understanding for centuries is now giving way to the revelations of quantum physics which goes beyond materialism; to show that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all being"
"You can call it God if you want, but you don’t have to. Quantum consciousness will do. Nonlocality (We are all interconnected - even without signals, and experimental evidence is proving our inherent unity.), tangled hierarchy (In our brain, we become one with the neuronal images of an external object because of a tangled-hierarchy, a circularity. The observer is the observed.), and discontinuity (The discovery of something new of value in thought is a quantum leap of Aha! insight.): these signatures of quantum consciousness have been independently verified by leading researchers worldwide. This experimental data and its conclusions inform us that it is the mistaken materialist view that is at the center of most of our worlds problems today. To address these problems, we now have a science of spirituality that is fully verifiable and objective."
From Wikipedia:
"Monistic Idealism states that conciousness, not matter, is the ground of all being. Idealism asserts that consciousness is teh fundamental entity of the universe. Conciousness creates matter, it is the fundamental wellspring from which reality is create."
I stumbled upon this when watching the documentary the "Quantum Activist". I became incredibly intrigued and I am interested in hearing what the TED community has to say about this revolutionary concept in quantum physics.

Consciousness research is happening in an understated manner in the US already with testing being done to ascertain the effectiveness of meditation in dealing with stress related illness. Granted its monetarily motivated since the US economy spends billions each year providing health care for stressed out patients, but at least its a start.
The yogis in the east are capable of things we can not believe possible through intuitionally directed practice, but still they have not the intellection and material 'know-how' that exists in the west. For progress in these fields 'the twain' shall have to meet, establish dialoge, and become more open to each others modality of perception so that we can make mutual use of our respective natural heritage and move toward a balanced future.

.i too will be interested " in hearing what the TED community has to say about this revolutionary concept "
which really isn't "new" outside of Western consciousness systems. Yes lets see how this flies at TED.
In the book world this subject is often called "Cosmic Consciousness" rather then "Quantum Consciousness" ...but whats in a name anyway
from Gopi Krishna "on Cosmic Consciousness"
What my own experience has disclosed this that man is not evolving into a living computer with all sorts of facts and figures in his head. But is slowly developing within himself a new pattern of consciousness, with a new channel of perception that, transcending intellect, will bring him into contact with intelligent forces of Creation, expanding his mental horizons to a inconceivable extend, completely beyond the ablest thinkers of our time.
The Human race is evolving toward a model that is completely different then anything than any forecasts that can be made in our present conditioned state. We find it difficult to envisage a model of consciousness endowed with supersensory faculties, with power to penetrate into regions of Life and mind completely inaccessible to normal man at this present time. That such channels of perception are possible we can readily infer from the fact that variously gifted men and women throughout history have displayed some aspects of these faculties.
The intellect will remain intact, enhanced, augmented, and even more penetrating then at present. But what is more powerfully important in this evolutionary transformation of man is that every individual consciousness will be a pool of undiminished happiness and bliss, aware of its own infinite and immortal nature, as one drop of an all-pervading infinite ocean of life.
Inside the gross tabernacle of human flesh there is slowly developing a radiant body of ethereal living light for the man and woman of the future.

Also, what do you mean by "...and it does energy...and it does mattter...as infinitum."?

re: "The real fun is in finding our frequency, tuning into it and achieving harmony "
Suhrawardi, the Great Prussian sage and his Sufi colleges used the phrases
"when spirit becomes matter and matter becomes Spirit"

how about a quote from that very capable "frequency finder" Robert Blake as a monday morning smile :-)
"Strange and hard this tale I tell, but true,
Objects gross and unseen Soul, are One"
