Mind Creates Reality

The mind that created the universe, theoretically, is your own. Everything you observe as existence is created by your conscious thoughts. You alone interpret reality for yourself, nobody or anything else does it for you. Your mind is the center of reality as far as you know it. Remember, if time is an illusion, then the energy that created your mind from star stuff preexisted your appearance but has always existed in one form or another.

Totally subjective, lacking any objectivity as to what the collective is witnessing in the world around us.

I disagree.
 
I disagree.

You are still the center of your own universe, we all are. Where else is reality perceived to exist?

Only self-awareness is a fixed, nonmoving, timeless element that both exists independent of matter, just like gravitational waves, but gives particles their existence thru observation.

But I respect your opinion to disagree.
 
The universe as conscious is a bit of a stretch. However, I will give you this ..If our sense of sight was more honed and we could see all the different light particles and see on a molecular level ..the entire environment would appear to be alive.

The rods and cones of the retina evolved enough of the visible light spectrum for us to function within our environment. Any more extraneous info would be counterproductive and useless, like seeing ultraviolet. Now if we could switch on to a more effective night vision that would've been useful.

In a sense they do, its a figure speech ..black holes are active and dynamic.

What they do is not called respiration.

I didn't use the word respiration, you did

no, it is in constant change, from our perspective

No, the universe ages with or without us, the individual isn't central to anything, only its subjective, inflated sense of itself. When you
die the universe still moves forward. I can't believe we're having this discussion.

Try to follow along... first off I never said man is central to anything. Can't you reply to just what I write if you must reply at all? Frankly, you should be reading, learning and only asking for clarifications from what I post that is challenging to follow for you.

Next, time is a construct of humans to explain change that we perceive.

-------------------------

Indeed, I can't believe I lowered myself to replying to you.

It sure seems like the kind of knucklehead term someone who posts as you do would use.

Whoever posted it, it was a bad choice of words which I corrected earlier in teh thread.

True, my point is this, if we could actually see whats in front of us, the world would appear much different. Our vision provides us just enough sight to succeed as humans, just as an eagle does ..they can spot a tennis ball from a mile away.

Everything else? Do black holes respirate?

who would be administering respiration to a black hole?

(I think you used the wrong word or misspoke)

I didn't use the word respirate, zyzygy did. If you had looked at my original post you would have seen that.
Instead, you jumped on the band wagon.

for the second time, you did not read my post properly, I did not say you used it

can we at least agree it was a stupid thing to say?

People think there is "nothing" between them and I just because they don't see it.

imbeciles

This is what you posted with incorrect grammar.

Look before you leap, this would appear to be a major issue with you. One can never be fruitful at the cost of being rich in contradictions.

What can't you understand? How can such a simple thing be over your head?

Are you drunk or high, your making absolutely no sense ..please restate what your saying so its understandable.

There is air between you and I. The space is not empty. There are all kinds of rays, waves also which we don't see. Then I am sure there is tons more yet to be detected.

Can you follow?

I was agreeing with you. There is much people don't see that exists. Undoubtedly more exists than we are aware of. Our senses are so extraordinarily limited.

Makes understanding teh universe virtually impossible for us.

People still thing in terms of a "beginning." As if nothing existed at one time. Dolts.
 
Totally subjective, lacking any objectivity as to what the collective is witnessing in the world around us.

There's a difference between objective brain activity and subjective mind reality. The first one is robotic in nature and merely processes the data and structure of our shared nature. The second involves our sense of self-awareness, personality, beliefs, and opinions, it interprets what the meaning of things are. If reality were merely objective to every person, we might as well be rocks.

If humans were nocturnal, I'm sure we'd have owl vision but potentially as a trade-off for daytime acuity.

If humans could view all the electromagnetic waves and particle interactions, then our sensory info would be overloaded. Nothing would indistinguishable from the blurry mess of interacting energy. Our senses evolved the way they did for us to adapt and survive our environment in the simplest and most efficient manner.

If we need to see a tennis ball a mile away, we can use a set of high-powered binoculars.
