When we are speaking about conscious events, then information generally involves a change of structure among hundreds of thousands, even millions of neural cells and support structures like glial cells and cells making up the circulatory system. Thus there is really no such thing as information that does not depend upon energy. In consciousness, information is not independent of energy as Shannon would have us believe. Most of the activity of conscious models is the production of redundancy in experience. Look around you.
Transpersonal experiences tend to be informative in a very global way.
Such experiences are by definition novel, and tend to be remembered and eventually result in a transformation of consciousness. Mind you, it is possible to experience something novel and not have one's meaning changed. Transpersonal experience is not always sufficient, but it may be necessary for certain changes in meaning and view. As we have seen, information in its original and phenomenologically real sense is at least partially a subjective phenomenon and refers to trophically active transformations in the structure of meaning. Once again, we have reached the end of a Tangent.
