What if everything that we perceive as our reality is merely a hologram created by our own brain-bio-computer and we, as a conscious, aren't even
really here?
That would be cool
I think thats a pretty safe assertion, personally.
Our senses cover a relatively small percentage of what is really happening around us, yet still weave a "world" that seems complete and total. What we
perceive as the entirety of the world, and how we interact with it, is a patchwork quilt made of small scraps and pieces. We just "fill in the
blanks," which is an interesting process all on its own.
The concepts of "infinity" and "nothing" are really nothing more than the fuzzy edges of our senses.
Ive long felt that most of the phenomena in this topic are directly repated to EM principles. It is indeed a vague statement that covers a lot of
ground, but thats kinda the point.
Small segments of this spectrum are constructed individually by our senses to see everything from color to heat to ringing noises and even unease.
Even in the spectrums we are familiar with, we have explored some interesting interactions like phases. When specific portions of the spectrum
interact, they can cancel each other out. Thats just one behavior too.
Dreaming has been brought up, and Im pretty convinced that
something is happening there. Far beyond just neurological activity unpacking
events.
Lucid dreaming, in particular, offers much more than I see typically mentioned. When confronted with the reality that one is dreaming, many (most?)
will do simple things like fly around. Certainly something everyone should experience, imo, but there is significantly more potential there.
We can do everything from manipulating time to create entire realms, worlds, and universes. Even imbue them with what appears to be some sort of
autonomy as well as "save" them so that they can be revisited in another dreamwalk on another night.
I do believe that the totality of our being is more than the physical body we know though.
I think our body acts as a conduit to feed, essentially. Like a single leaf on a tree, feeding nutrients to a much larger system.
Such a thing could be completely individual, or maybe some type of grouping. So, things like "soul mates," "destiny," and those relationships where
people just click would be the result of being leaves on the same tree. Alternatively, in the more individual scenario, its akin to being in the same
grove.
The actual "coordinates" and perception of this larger structure probably appears quite differently than the analogy however. Meaning, two individuals
could be part of the same "tree" or "grove" and be on opposite sides of the globe.
If something like this is the case, it would seem reasonable that the specific memories and experiences are not particularly relevant. Given that we
have little awareness of anything other than our senses, it seems that it is something else that continues past death (if anything at all).
Perhaps this separation, or the perception of it, is what is being referenced in Stories like The Fall of Man in the Bible.
We decided to become mired in the duality, if you will. We poked our toe into the water and decided that tiny appendage is the totality of our
being.
With how Stories work, and how Culture propagates, it would stand to reason that such a shift would then be embedded further and further over
generations.
