What is 'reality'? From ones point of view it is individual. An almost selfish perspective. A single consciousness if you will. How can we explain a universal reality coming from one single mind? We can imagine it from another perspective; yet it is still coming from one. We can agree, but can't combine. Think. Think hard and stretch your imagination. Frankly, it's damn near impossible. We (individually that is) are but one single entity in a vast (infinite?) 'universe'. I believe that our mind can only know so much but our consciousness can understand so much more. But it will never be enough. To fully know 'everything' is such an emense task it requires so much more than we can aquire in our present state of being. In my opinion all that this dimension is capable of revealing is the map to the ultimate treasure.However, the key to the chest lies beyond us...

You have made some interesting points there,Telsa,but what makes you think
that the mind is single!!!!

When I say 'mind', I'm referring to the goop behind our eyes we use for memory and motor skills. Because to most, that is their conscienceness. So single mind is individual brain (in that case). Most people don't know that theirs a whole different 'peice' (if you will) of mind outside of the cranial container resting on our necks. Conscienceness.

Just an opinion (roughly).

Telsa.where are you mate? You are sorely needed here on the forum,I miss your great
posts,and very interesting thread starters,come on now,bring your consciousness to bear
on this here thread you started!

Consciousness is the key to all understanding of reality,a collective consciousness is the
most powerful thing in the universe,lets all tune in to reveal our heritage!

As humanity gradually realizes its kinship to the whole of life and not just its partial
family race,then the collected consciousness will be fired into action,and a great realization will dawn upon mankind.

regards michael.
