I realized that the void inside can’t be filled; not because it’s too vast, but because it’s an illusion.

But if there is such an infinitesimally small amount of “solid” matter in the universe, then why does everything look and feel so undeniably solid to us?

quantum physicists have discovered (much to their shock) that everything is connected as one thing that is merely appearing to be many things.

The ocean is a helpful metaphor here, as we can see seemingly separate waves, and even identify one wave as being different and apart from another wave. And yet, can we truly say they are separate?
Gerry Stephens
Made me think about autonomy. Are we really autonomous? This brings up the nature vs nurture argument and I'll add thidea that we are so finely chemically balanced that perhaps we would all make the same choices if given the same influences from our own chemistry and exterior inputs.

That means the data may have been worked to achieve a desired result. Which is what critics say. The only group claiming replication are those groups that bear the Maharishi name after the Maharishi Effect.

Experiments lackex a blind. Replication shows very weak significance. AI shows almost no effect. Criticism of th experiment is in all the subjective interpritations and all the ways in which human hand can distort the sample.

How else can we explain how an electron would change its behavior, one time acting as a seemingly solid particle and another time acting as a wave of energy depending on whether it is being observed? If an independent and separate Creator created the universe and filled it with living and inanimate things, then the nonliving things would not respond to the mere thoughts of the livings things.

I don't take Einstein's theory of relative time to mean this. I take it to mean that time is relative because of the diference in perceived events due to one's proximity ; kind of like parlayx .

instead of the slow, random evolution espoused by Charles Darwin, where adaptation and mutation occurs over very long periods of time, what has actually happened is instantaneous quantum leaps in evolution over only one or two generations. And even more interestingly, they have been happening at about 26,000-year intervals.

Begin to think of all your strong attachments in life. Think about your attachment to your family, children, spouse, partner, money, material possessions, and anything else that comes to mind. Now, taking each one in turn, fully welcome and embrace that attachment. This is very counterintuitive because our instinct is to push it away, or try to get rid of it, in order to let go of attachment to it. But the exact opposite is true. What you resist persists, and it’s in gentle, nonjudgmental welcoming that true release occurs.
