Resting some of it on quantum physics mysteries is a common technique of too many new age woo peddlers.

I don't consider it a leakage of some kind of higher force, we are the higher force there is no higher then imagination/conciousness/thought.
I also considered that as in physical evolution this ‘animating force’ is also evolving using the physical world. I came to this thought because of ancient cultures believing in spirits of mountains and rivers and also what I read regarding intelligent slime. This slime/mould substance could spread itself out over a maze and then contract back to the part of the maze where a source of nourishment was placed. It has no nervous system yet shows a rudimentary form of consciousness.
This I don't understand, please elaborate if you would care.
I believe this is compelling scientific evidence that the brain and CNS does not create conciousness that it comes from elsewhere. Other animals, plants, and perhaps even rock have diffrerent levels of evolving consciousness
I find that the "your right your reality your choice" phrase is philosophically bizarre. Reality retains definite and certain qualities regardless of one's perceptions of it. Making stuff up about it doesn't hold water.

I find it hard to believe that when your on a trip, and you see these beings, you see them a certain way because of your imagination. If your imagination is what makes the beings look what they look like to you, then I wonder how a blind or deaf person or someone that is deaf and blind would experience such a trip.
I'm really bothered with all these threads on different forum. There all bases on people that can see, hear and feel.
I know that when I close my eyes I can still manifest images and even sound ( like what i'm hearing right now while i'm typing this i'm speaking it out loud inside my head ) But how would a deaf person or blind person imagine this? has anybody got some interesting thoughts on this or movies perhaps?

Yes I agree, everything has a level of conciousness/imagination. But I don't know about montains and rivers, iv heard of the notion but I can't seem to fit it in into the scheme of things, I woudln't know why this would be the case.

Interesting thought but I still believe it rests on flawed premises, and premises unsupported by any evidence. Resting some of it on quantum physics mysteries is a common technique of too many new age woo peddlers. Also, suggesting that there's a post-death world of "thought" where anything can be created instantly is a surprisingly anthropocentric representation of the universe. Cool idea but still far fetched.
