Ok, I have big plans in store for this domain over the next few weeks. There is so much interesting information out there that needs to be shared, talked about, encouraged and expressed.
Have been tweeting a lot of thoughts lately, so if you are interested go and check out http://www.twitter.com/inforeality
It is so hard not to speak about things like consciousness and the nature of reality without sounding massively new age. That is not my intention. At all.
So when I say that we are on the edge of an age where Quantum Physics , Consciousness Studies, Genetics, Information Theory and what would have once been termed The Paranormal, Shamanism, as well as Buddhist thought, Occult theory and the insights gained via psychedelics will all converge, and we begin to see the similarities between these areas. I can see them, and so can a lot of other people. It’s just quite hard to put it into words. Well at least words that are not just empty rehashes of the same old theories.
I mean words that can be used, expanded on. Tested and poked and prodded. Shaken until more truth drops from them.
From the history of man people have speculated on the nature of reality and conciousness, they just have not had the language or conceptual framework to make any sense out of it. For instance, say that reality behaved in much the same way as computer software. It is only in this present age that we would begin to be able to grasp this in any percievable way. Before that it would be very vauge analogies and wild metaphors which would serve as explanations.
