Hey Chris, read some of his other books as well as interviews. He thinks that
Mind and Matter are completely separate and interact at the level of structures
called microtubules via quantum tunneling, similar to the way that Descartes
thought that mind and matter interacted through the pineal gland. Penrose
believes in immortal souls on the Christian model.
