How do you suppose existence came into 'being' NE?
I'll be posting that overview in a few days. I'm getting tired of not having links to drop into debates, and that one is pretty fundamental to the stuff I get involved in here too. It involves non-physical qualifiers and the fact that even an absence of anything requires qualification as being what it is.

So we create what is by thinking this way? But what of before Planck and the Planck length. Anything smaller is supposed to make no physical sense but we just don't know?

Sounds very interesting
I worry sometimes, with the new understandings...I guess some would label me as an atheists, but to me there is a source, that always was, is and will be...this is god to me...it doesnt have to be conscious or aware or what ever, it is just the whole of what is always being, the source. Do you think there is something, of a source? What is it that I feel so deeply that I call the Holy Spirit that guides my more deeper being...what is that magically synchronicity that occurs seemingly to show a matter of fact a purpose in a moment of time that would of seemed to be unexplainable by any of our understandings. I feel a source in everything, and it at the same time, is everything...it seems to be able to hold all the wisdom/information within the very design of existence....as my signature says, if there is a word of god somewhere....it would be in life itself, in the nature, in the design.
As I seem to demote 'god' to being simply a source that is always just what is, constantly being...never there would be nothing....this idea clearly changes my earlier definitions of what god would be, and the word, its so tainted that I would rather not even use the word as far as that goes. Just some personal rambles that Im expressing here lately and pondering....Im not sure that what I consider to be god, should be called god at all anymore.
But there is a source....or force...well its both, the source is the force...lol, my evening rambles.
Its a strange fear that I noticed when reading your avatar.....that it really does not matter in the end. As much as this could be so and I might even know it to be so I think Ill remain the dreamer in that it does matter in the end
You always make me think! Love it!

This isn't a philosophical exercise. This is the way reality is, and why you perceive it the way you perceive it. I'm posting this so that I can refer to it whenever I get into a debate concerning reality and the issue of perception versus objective reality.
The Unitary Basis
In 1900, Max Planck discovered that physical action could not take on any indiscriminate value. Instead, the action must be some multiple of a very small quantity (later to be named the "quantum of action" and now called Planck's constant). excerpt - en.wikipedia.org... While this observation proved to be true, the idea was pretty hard to conceptualize since the "quantum of action" was necessarily smaller than what exists as a result of its organized structure. And yet, the notion of Planck's constant is reflected in the fact that everyday objects and systems are also made of a large number of things. In fact, when one examines anything that exists, it reveals itself to be composed of a large number of lesser things regardless of what it is. And each of those lesser things is revealed to also be composed of smaller things. We know this already, but no one has ever been able to identify the smallest and most primordial unit of material existence.
Consistency is what establishes the dependability displayed in Planck's "quantum of action", and we can see that it also provides the dependability in atoms, molecules, cells, and literally every other expression of material existence. Consistency is ubiquitous, and let's face it, the only free-wheeling, inconsistent thing in existence is the human perception of what does and doesn't exist as real. The rest - including the brain that allows the human being to perceive at all - is relentlessly consistent, and regardless of how far down you pick something apart, you'll find structure, structure and more structure. This suggests that at the very bottom, you'll find the identical, indivisible unit - just like Planck did when he took action all the way down. After all, it was the identical, indivisible unit itself that caused Planck's Constant to be constant. It's inescapable. Consistency of unit size and quality is how structural consistency is accomplished, and it was proven with Planck's "quantum of action" theory. The material world, therefore, is clearly based on the identical, indivisible unit as well.
But, What Is Material Existence?
Here is where the truth about reality starts shifting from traditional notions, and yet, it retains quite a bit of what we just went over. In fact, it retains a lot more of what we just went over than you might expect, and that's where the novelty concerning material existence starts revealing itself.
You see, Max Planck established more than he'll likely ever be credited with, and more than he actually understood with his theory. In establishing the consistency of action, he also established the sub-structure of material existence, even though he'd have rejected such a claim if presented with it. But then Max never took the impact of human perception, the actual generation process that creates human perception, and applied how that impact and that process affect the fact that humanity is the sole definer of material existence - at least when it comes to how humans define material existence (which seems terribly obvious when you put it that way). In essence, what human beings perceive is a direct result of how they perceive, and how they perceive is directly related to how they perceive themselves to be. All perception is compared to what the human being knows or assumes to be true. We know this, but here's how it affects our definition of material existence.
We know that we're material in nature. We're as solid and physically dependable as everything around us. And while that's true, we also know that we are a composition of cells that are a composition of molecules that are a composition of atoms that are 99.9% open space between particles that are also composed of lesser particles. And the particle smashers know that these particles are composed of many lesser particles and quarks and stuff they haven't even named yet. And it's this fact of how we are structured that brings us back to Max Planck and his theory concerning the consistency of structure involving the "quantum of action".
But, now we're dealing with particles...right?

I think we are talking about the same thing. Take a look at this Paper. It is a private publication I send out to persons who think they have in mind what you are concluding.
Be prepared for a surprise. The God-Particle (basic building block) is not a particle. It has no mass and is not subject to gravity. It is essential in the formation of matter from the particle on up.

They were talking about from Roswell, that the aliens guided the craft with their minds. Perhaps wearing a a helmet with fiber optics that read the powerful mind of these ETs.

I know all this to be true, NorEaster. However, I just wish there was a way I could apply it and shatter all my limiting ideologies. There is a huge difference in knowing something intellectually and experiencing something and being able to live it. I am only ever able to know these things from afar.

You mentioned Childlike Innocence and I thought of my favorite author and teacher of metaphysics William Samuel. Here is a link to a short audio about 'Childlikeness" -- I think you will like this guy, he's quite brilliant!

long as your talking about self sacrifice. Im with ya ...IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT SACRIFICEING OTHERS .bE IT THERE lifes .or beleif systems or there life saveings Im agin ya. The only kind of sacrifice that means a damm is self sacrifice ,An Self promotion is less than useless it should be expunged from the capabilites that man have learnt to use ,Self recomendation is no recomention as me dear ild mum wouls say.

I've decided that I'll occasionally post technical threads concerning all of this, since it's better that this information at least gets out than that I sell a ton of books. The proof does exist, and while I can only thumbnail concepts here, at least it'll be here as a reference for anyone who wants to do further research into what I've uncovered. Maybe it'll help.
Internalizing the information is not easy. I still struggle with it myself. What is important is to map it all out for yourself in whatever manner works best for you.

The Time is Now... Speaking in terms of "childlike," reality is more of a flip-book we illustrate our experiences with. This isn't my first encounter with NorEaster, so I doubt he'll mind: System of Truth
It does help to have an outline and/ or visualization. For me, it was sitting in a room full of unfamiliar faces, a couple of hundred in fact, listening to their stories. The overlay to consciousness... Something resembling a child's toy. Imagine that!
