  We address the relation between two apparently distinct problems: The quest
for a deeper understanding of the nature of consciousness and the search for
time and space as emergent structures in the quantum mechanical world. We also
advance a toy-model proposal of emergence of time from a timeless unus mundus
quantum-like space by using Aharonov's two state formalism of quantum
mechanics. We further speculate on these issues within a quantum cognitive
perspective with particular interest in two recent papers on this emerging
field of science. One (Aerts et al) entails (as we argue) a panpsychist
top-down approach to the problem of consciousness. The second paper (Blutner et
al) proposes a quantum cognitive model for Jung's psychological type structure.
We discuss these concepts and their relation with our main thesis, that time is
a measure of individuality. One of our central motivations is to provide
arguments that allows the mainstream physicist to take seriously a panpsychist
worldview, a position that has been openly forwarded by many modern
philosophers.
