An endosymbiotic actinidic archaea and viroid mediated model of conscious and quantal perception is presented. Actinidic archaea and viroids has been related to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, autism and primary seizure disorder. Actinidic archaea have a mevalonate pathway and cholesterol catabolism. The role of endosymbiotic actinidic archaea and viroids in conscious and quantal perception as well as in regulation of brain function is discussed. The human endosymbiotic actinidic archaea catabolizes cholesterol and uses it for its energy metabolism. The ring oxidation of cholesterol generates pyruvate which enters the GABA shunt pathway resulting in the formation of succinyl CoA and glycine used for porphyrin synthesis. The side chain oxidation of cholesterol results in steroid synthesis and the generation of the steroidal glycoside digoxin which serves as an endogenous regulator of the sodium potassium pump inhibiting it. The archaea are magnetotactic and contain the dipolar porphyrins and magnetite. Digoxin by inhibiting the sodium potassium ATPase generates a pumped phonon system involving dipolar porphyrins and magnetite. This generates a Frohlich model of Bose-Einstein condensate at normal temperature resulting in quantal perception. The quantal perception can result in perceiving low level of EMF from the environment. This can generate unconscious and conscious perception and its dysfunction in schizophrenia and autism.
