So that’s why we now have 187 human sexes!

Long ago, I accepted that in my opinion, there is no one reality. The majority of people in any given area have an accepted view on what ‘real’ means. That view changes depending on the location, state of mind, and state of circumstance. Of course, this is not something one normally brings up at the local 711 Store or Super Cuts Barbershop.

5d beings in 3d reality necessarily have limited access to higher orders. We chose this of voulantary action, it grants a form of physical expression we desire.

We know there is more out there, and we are tryig to understand why we can’t get there from here.

We know this as the fall of man.

We may be isolated here.

Theory is fine. Observation agreeing with it is even better.

If the world’s not real then neither is this article. So I didn’t spend any time reading it

One of the reasons why humans are handicapped in our understanding of reality is because of our reliance on the “scientific method”. It is a system based on observation. The problem with this method is that our understanding of reality is corrupted by the limits imposed by observation. Indeed, as well well know, it is the perception of the observer that changes our reality.

This is a well understood rule. If you the reader, don’t “get it”, then you need to study quantum mechanics 101.

...

But quantum mechanics is the result of observation and the scientific method.

“To prove that Newtonian Physics does not represent the reality that we inhabit . . . . “


That may be an unnecessary undertaking. Newtonian Physics is one tool of many at our disposal, so its “representation” of reality is limited, but it is not false.

It is good to see an increase in knowledge that expands our understanding of reality. The creation is complex enough that we will never fully comprehend most of it.

In the end it will be shown that all things visible and invisible are subject to a certain One whose incarnation, birth, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension took place at just the right time and in just the right place.

According to this, for a woman being stoned to death by Mahometan males, the fact that she’s being stoned for no good reason is not the problem but her perception of it is the problem.

What he is saying is the physical universe is an illusion. It is nothing more than the projection of the collective Ego. It doesn’t exist at all. We perceive everything and know nothing.

Newtonian physics has unbreakable rules, particularly on earth; you can’t jump off a cliff without a wing suit and expect to fly.

If that were true, then I could bypass traffic jams by denying the illusion and driving right through the stopped cars and trucks. If I rear-end anyone, it’s solely a problem with my perception.

I really thought Laz wrote this and he was feeling better.

I read the whole thing. I did actually take a course in physics and studied higher mathematics in college so I was not entirely at sea. Even so, the conclusion is a bit mind-blowing.

The argument here is quite radical. Are there any physicists out there who can comment? Is this some kind of sophistry?
