Reality

Now of course this is a complex scenario depending on how you perceive it and each of us will have our own perceptions of how we define reality. I will share mine.

This quote from the film The Matrix sums it up quite well.

“What is real?…How do you define real? If you are talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste, what you can see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain”

Our perception of the external world is based on chemical neurotransmitters. Our brain receives information from our visual field in an upside down format yet we see in as a rotated view. Our brain can and does change the information. Yet we believe life to be “out there” when more accurately it is actually “in there”, it is in our brain based on chemical communication.

If we look at reality from a very basic quantum perspective, subatomic aspects can either be a wave or a particle and it has now been proven that particle (or matter) only appears to be “solid” when a consciousness acts as an observer upon it. It can be either wave or particle simultaneously or defined as aspects of probability. So where does that leave the chair you are sitting on, in fact are you even sitting on it at all. The Physicist Michio Kaku will state that you are not sitting on the chair, you are hovering above it based on repulsive reactions between negative and positive particles held within you and the chair. These subatomic components can present as a wave or a particle. So is the chair real or not? Of course you perceive yourself to be on it and that is how many of us define our reality. Is the chair only there because you as a conscious observer have a role in creating its form?

A quote by Max Planck “All matter originates and exists only by the virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter”

“Physicist Alain Aspect at the University of Paris and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram. Bohm is not the only researcher who has found evidence that the universe is a hologram. Working independently in the field of brain research, Standford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram has also become persuaded of the holographic nature of reality. But the most mind-boggling aspect of Pribram's holographic model of the brain is what happens when it is put together with Bohm's theory. For if the concreteness of the world is but a secondary reality and what is "there" is actually a holographic blur of frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and only selects some of the frequencies out of this blur and mathematically transforms them into sensory perceptions, what becomes of objective reality? Put quite simply, it ceases to exist. As the religions of the East have long upheld, the material world is Maya, an illusion, and although we may think we are physical beings moving through a physical world, this too is an illusion.

We are really "receivers" floating through a kaleidoscopic sea of frequency, and what we extract from this sea and transmogrify into physical reality is but one channel from many extracted out of the superhologram.” The Universe as a Hologram by Michael Talbot.

Its food for thought if we allow ourselves to have flexible belief systems and address what we have been led to believe is true. If indeed, we exist as part of a hologram we can create as we are consciousness acting as an observer, we can and do have a role in creating our life.

It is your own mind that creates the illusion.

You have to let it all go, fear, doubt and free your mind from your own belief systems.
