Excellent. Thank you oh so very much!!! I particularly liked the following paragraph. IMHO, it is the single most important concept to facilitate a discussion on consciousness, the mind, reality and the spirit:

Let me try to make a difficult distinction clear. There are the laws of physics, physical theories of the universe, mathematics, et al. Arguably, all these things are mental constructs, descriptions of the nature and properties of the physical universe. What they are not is the physical universe itself. The description is already a “once remove” from the Reality it observes and articulates. It is not that Reality itself. And for those of us who do "get it," and those who would like to, here is that meditation from your previous post:

Here’s a rather striking comment from Walker that you might like:

"So we at last find that reality is the observer observing. It is the two parts of our great separation coming together. There is a separation. There is a dreadful and vast separation. But there is no space and really no matter to die but that our own minds did not first come together to create it. Our observation – our coming together – created matter. Observation is the stuff of the space that reaches out past the vast clusters of galaxies. Reality is the fruit of love’s embrace."

The passage strikes me as fine grist for an extended meditation....

Me too, betty boop.
