Reality Is An Artifact Of Perception

As the title reads: reality is an artifact of perception. The reality that I am speaking of here is the reality perceived through or by the human senses. If one were able to adopt an absolute view, that seemingly solid reality inhabited by humans would be "seen" as a constantly shifting field of interrelated vibratory patterns. This field is holographic in nature. It is conscious. It exists now and only now.

Consciousness did not arise from life. Rather it is the other way around. "Life" is a feature of consciousness along with time, space and matter. It is an effect of human perception. We humans do not live in the universe. The universe lives in us. It is our creation. It is malleable by thought.

The universe is our sandbox. We play with ideas here and reap their consequences. The sandbox is the laboratory of being. We constantly refine our consciousness by shoving eternal concepts around in the sand and inventing new combinations of them. In this way, consciousness evolves toward greater sensitivity and more refined articulation of its essential nature which is loving kindness. Humans are the self-conscious tendrils of all of consciousness. Our job is to allow consciousness to know itself. This is all done for the joy of it and has no purpose beyond experiencing bliss.

Two Quotes By Physicists

I encountered a quote today that triggered my memory of another, similar one. Both statements were made by twentieth century physicists.

Konrad Finagle said: "Space is what keeps everything from happening in the same place."

Richard Feynman said: "Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once."

Einstein referred to these as "spacetime", a single continuum.

I am not going anywhere with this. I'm in pondering and study mode. I just thought that I'd pass it on.

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES

Emotional Freedom Techniques, or "EFT" as it is called, is a meridian based healing technique with very broad application to human fears, phobias, psychological distress and related physical symptoms. Its full potential has not yet been grasped. I suspect that it holds a key to reprogramming the subconscious mind. This is something that I am now probing.

The energy meridians located within the human body were first charted in China about five thousand years ago. Blockages of energy in those channels is held to be the cause of many, if not all, illnesses. Therapeutic interventions like acupuncture or acupressure are methods used to clear these blockages. Although the efficacy of these techniques is well established, the existence of the energy meridians themselves has not yet been validated by Western science.

EFT involves tapping on endpoints of energy meridians that are located near the surface of the skin. It is fast, simple and easy to learn yet its effects can be lasting and profound. I do not intend to attempt to teach it here. Rather, I direct your attention to the source of this technique at www.emofree.com. You may view introductory videos and download a manual detailing EFT free of charge from this site.

I intend to refer to the use of EFT in future posts but will leave the teaching of it to those more qualified than myself. I encourage you to become familiar with EFT.
