Your Mind Makes it Real

while I am hardly a specialist in much of anything - and thus completely unqualified to make or reinforce any significantly meaningful statements - one statement I've held comes from a line in the Matrix - "Your Mind makes it Real".

I see this as a fundamental reality of the universe -

... from the quantum universe (my perhaps gross approximation notwithstanding) - to the "reality" of the virtual world - to the "real" world... what seems to matter is human... errr... consciousness. we also don't know what consciousness is... which only adds to the enigma of it all.

in seemingly unrelated news - we still don't know what time is. but this article - suggests we also don't know what space is any more than we know what time is. . why didn't i think of that? we experience time - but have a hard time explaining what it is when asked... yet for some reason we feel we have a pretty good handle on space... except... aren't space-time interrelated? so what makes us think we understand space any better than time?? Does a ruler actually tell us more about reality than a clock??

this article is brilliant to my way of thinking - and is exactly the kind of mind job we are going to need to undergo to finally produce a cohesive and holistic view of this universe (TOE).

this article succeeds in unifying consciousness with space-time by turning your mind inside out: i.e. instead of looking in at consciousness, it looks out from consciousness. in this way - it is also very zen... and begins to explain e.g. this.

not saying this is the way to go - but it is the kind of shift that awaits.

too fricken' cool.
