By George I think you've got it! We all serve as antennae for the collective. The Borg are back. The Draconians have been defeated. And Jeanniebean's "Law of Attraction" only works on 102.9 FM Stereo.

No. You can't go home until this had been fully resolved, scientifically verified experimentally by at least 12 independent atheist scientists, and the entire world has come to a 100% consensus and we've all been converted and have accepted virtual particles are our lords and saviors. Then you can go home. Wherever that is? Are you a Draconian, a Borg, a Fantasy Fairy, or just an indigenous pain in the butt.

Reality is what is real, regardless of if we ever know what that is.

Reality is what is real, regardless of if we ever know what that is. That is a pretty silly statement considering we are the sentient beings that observe things and as individuals we decide what is real.

But, I'm totally ignorant to any of that info. The idea that we "serve" (use caution with the word "serve" on the Religious Forums) as conductors of energy AND information streaming to and from collective, Universal energy/information makes complete sense to me. Somehow (and I don't profess to have a clue as to how), time has had an integral role in incremental increase of information being exchanged along these living (and perhaps unliving) pathways.

Even if we where not here to know it, something would be here, and it would be real.

Reality is when you leave the house with a umbrella and it doesn't rain as people shake their head wondering why you walk around with a umbrella Reality is when you leave the house without the umbrella and it begins to rain and everyone has their umbrella with them shaking their head why you don't have yours Weather Channel in Miami They say 80% chance to rain so you go out with a umbrella and it doesn't rain Then they say 20% chance to rain and you don't go out with a umbrella and you get drenched so now I go everyday with the umbrella and it never rains??? Do I have somekind of powers or something

so now I go everyday with the umbrella and it never rains??? So you're the one who's causing all the doughts and forcing food prices to soar! Put that umbrella away! A little water won't hurt you. I want some Florida oranges and grapefruits CHEAP. Water is reality for citrus fruits.

Even if we where not here to know it, something would be here, and it would be real. That is a very un-philosophical way of looking at it but I understand the level of that thinking, and on that level I agree. (Get rid of the human race,(observers) and the earth would still be here. But by 'observer', I mean anything that can sense vibrations or is within a certain similar frequency range to interact with. I base my point of view on the premise that everything has a degree of consciousness, and vibrates, and that everything that 'exists' can sense vibrations (even at the unconscious mineral level) The way one thing 'decides' another thing is 'real' is that it senses and responds to it. If it did not sense and respond to it then it would not be real to the observer or thing doing the sensing. To put it in a more fundamental way, we are bound together in a range of frequency with the things we sense and those are the things we call 'real.'

This collaborative opinioning of intangible consensuses does my flippin' head in... Reality is the golden globe of Love inside everyone of us... the rest is fictitious dreaming.

Sounds like a better word than observer, would be interaction. Or interacting material.

The cells in my body are 'aware' when the blood brings water and nutrients enough to absorb them for nourishment, but this awareness is very unconscious and automatic. A hammer hitting a rock will smash it in two, because the rock interacts with the hammer via vibration and density etc. If they were not exchanging energy, the hammer would pass right through the rock as if it were a ghost.

the platypus is a scary reality you seem to have an affintiy for the platypus??? if one really think about it, the mind has seen say "trillions of things", and heard trillions of things, so such things have more "tell" in them than might meet the eye??? if you were to look up the platypus, i wonder if you might find some very intertesting things, that would have some pretty significant meaning to you??? since the "conscious mind" see literally "infinite data", what stand out or is rememebred has even HUGE MEANING??? it is not missed, that even text declare it CONTROL THE MEMORY OF HUMAN MAN??? just ideas girl... peace

the platypus is a scary reality Why??? it's so cool... this tiny little doe eyed sweet timid thing.... that paddles around our creeks and billabongs doing it's own thing... The platypus is a beautiful and almost magical creature.... just because it appears different to others makes it more special, not less, and certainly not something to be villified... they are smaller than a rabbit.... nothing scary there at all...
