***** Yea, I love science because it gives me a new Ipad, and of course we can't forget penicillin. The search for truth requires rigorous self-examination, amonst other things. Science never gave me the truth, only a perspective of it, but whether or not science is the perspective we ought to take up, that is not itself a scientific question. But you're free to believe in whatever you think fits into your worldview, if you believe that the world is nothing more than a material realm, then science is your best friend.

***** There has actually been a series of lectures done by Stanford recently called hacking consciousness where they base the entirety of their lectures on that very point; that the underlying "stuff" in physics is consciousness. By no means does this imply a final verdict, but it just shows that smart people with credentials and all sorts of intellectuals are jumping aboard this notion. Even Dr. Pam Peeke from harvard made an appearance and spoke a bit on the subject.

***** So you learned something about meditation. The whole lecture series is called hacking consciousness and all of the lectures are interrelated. I'll have to find the one about consciouess just give me a minute I should have it saved on in my history. I don't know what you expect to find anyway, you seem like the type of person whos mind is not easily swayed, which can be a blessing and a curse. And on that note, this does not imply a final verdict, like I mentioned earlier. What I took from this lecture is that more people are taking seriously this notion that consciousness underlies all of reality. I've always had an intuition about it, as many people do, but of course becomes easily ridiculed when downloaded into tasteless language. I'll post back when I find it...

***** Not embarassed, it's just not a view that can be easily expressed, therefore it must be experienced. Telling you about it, the fact that it's highly subjective and not science fact-based, leaves it open to scrutiny via the language of mere words, and it's so much more than that. I'll say this much.. I love science because it's given us so many technological advances, but I think that's where it hits a roadblock. We live in a universe of unknowns.

***** It might be that one, I don't remember. The guy who mainly speaks about consciousness has a foreign accent.

***** What we know about reality is in a perpetual state of revision, that's how its always been. Just have a watch at those two lectures.

TheThinkingApeMan Yes, I get what you're saying about physical systems doing whatever it is that they do regardless of human thought, but two things; One, I don't believe that human thought constitutes consciousness, rather it's an aspect of it. I believe his definition of consciousness is something much deeper and more esential, beyond the boundaries of the human mind. Two, reality is strange my friend. I mean we've been here a bleep in the scale of time, and look at what we've discovered with quantum entanglement, for example, which violates all laws of classical mechanics, and we've just scratched the surface. Complex things aren't always what they appear to be

***** :-) You're a hard-facts, hard-core science kind of fella, you really don't want to know what I believe, it pushes the boundaries of your scientific scrutiny.

***** I'm a little bit of everything.

***** Brother, fine by me if you want to notch everything into a scientific paradigm for yourself, that's just not my thing. The "all things in science are not accepted until proven via experiment" is meaningless to me, because I don't live via those principles in life. So, you go live in your world of scientific reductionism and I'll live mine in my happy fantasy of pink fluffy make-believe. I mean does it really matter? We've sent a man to the moon but we can't solve world hunger or put a stop to endless wars. Poeple often ask, "what's wrong with the world these days?" I say, "Nothing's wrong with the world these days, it's the same its always been"
