|

More of a huge global conversation that's going on about these very things...
I'm always attracting stuff like this in my 'net wanderings...
____________________________________________________
REALITY ISN'T REAL:
Patricia F. Hare offers a great web-article about how change occurs
(link below).
Back in 1980 Marilyn Ferguson introduced us to the concept of a
"Paradigm Shift," which takes place when things are viewed in a
particular way, then new information comes along and the way things
are viewed changes in response to the new information. Ferguson
said, "The problem is that you can't embrace the new paradigm unless
you let go of the old."
I have written in this column, on more than one occasion, that
everything appearing solid in our world breaks down to subatomic
particles -- to energy. And energy is non-physical in nature.
Cutting-edge physicists now claim that our reality is best described
as a "thought form." This fact doesn't surprise the mystics who have
always claimed we live in a world of illusion. So today, the
scientists and mystics are in agreement.
Simply stated, we are energy interacting with energy.
The following two paragraphs are from Hare's article:
Lynne McTaggart, author of "The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force
of the Universe" (2002), is one of the many writers explaining to us
the quiet scientific revolution taking place and the implications of
its findings. These implications are heretical to some; to others
they offer a life-enhancing vision. McTaggart tells us that quantum
physicists have been finding that at the subatomic level our world is
a "participatory relationship" between an observer and the observed.
Subatomic particles exist in probability until they are perturbed
(i.e., observed and measured) forcing them into a set state, "an act
akin to solidifying Jell-O." And guess what perturbs subatomic
particles (here's where we get to the starling part): the observer --
human consciousness.
Please understand that most physicists would never suggest that human
consciousness is responsible for bringing the observed world into
being. This idea seems bizarre (and its details are not yet clear).
However, a growing number of physicists are stating that the findings
of quantum physics -- whether they like it or not -- are just that:
Reality boils down to the consciousness that is observing it. This
idea is so radical because it flies in the face of everything that we
have been taught about the nature of reality. Reality is solid;
reality can be measured; reality has weight; reality is, well, real.
We don't "think-up" reality! It exists, we discover it, we explore
it, we define it, we exist in it--it does not exist in us! But there
it is. A century of scientific research taking us to this paradigm-
shifting conclusion: Nothing in the universe exists as an
actual 'thing' independent of our perception of it. If that is true,
then we are blessed and burdened with the responsibility for what we
see. And if we don't like what we see, the means of changing it are
not "out there" in "reality," but within us, within ourselves, within
our consciousness.
With this in mind, the idea of "creating your own reality" seems a
little " real."

Hmmm. So, am I dreaming you?
Or are you dreaming me?
For that matter, am I dreaming about the glass of beer before me or is it dreaming of me wanting to drink it?  _________________ "Penalties against the possession of a drug

The answer to all of the above is, of course, yes.

Actually, it was the damned lemon that whispered in my ear and convinced me to go out and buy the beer so that I would squeeze the lemon into the beer. Its a conspiracy I tells ya. Those damned lemons are behind this myth we call reality. In fact, they are dreaming this whole thing right now!
And we think we have free choice! _________________ "Penalties against the possession of a drug
