Q1. What is Reality? What is Truth?

[Questioner]

First of all grats on a beautiful article. The pictures and illustrations made it quite a view You must have put a lot of effort into it and the results looks great.

Thank you, Ali! I love this mixed-media format and will use it for more inquiries this year.

I have some ideas I want to add to the mix

Please do! That's what I hoped for. Everything you mentioned so far is just the kind of material I hoped for in this thread.

you mention that wave forms interact when they are close to each other. I agree, but there's also in my understanding non local non temporal interactions.

That's an excellent point. I will need to ponder how to include that material in my synopsis.

As for thoughts, I believe they are also waveforms and we can tune into them. As with any waveform, they can interact in ways that make larger, more complex waveforms. (A Fourier series or harmonic analysis picture would go well here.) These complex waveforms can, in turn, serve as signal modulating other waveforms. We can "tune in" to these patterns because our nervous systems are complex wave transceivers. I'm not sure just how, but I suspect the convolutions of the brain make it especially suited to gather and focus waves around the pineal gland.

In this sense, thoughts really are things. Napoleon Hill and the Law of Attraction people are right about our tuning into various frequencies of ideas, based on our focus, persistence and passion. Napoleon Hill's "Master Mind Alliance" and Ra's "support group" are two examples of people joining their focus in order to more effectively tune in to a particular range of thought forms. I believe this is also true of the archetypes. As we study them, we join, to some degree, in the thought process of our Logos.

Also you say that reality might be much larger than the universe.

That contradiction comes about because of Bucky Fuller's idiosyncratic definition of Universe as everything that people have comprehended. It is possible that there is more to ultimate reality than any person has comprehended.

I realize now that it would be less confusing to say that Reality might be much larger than any person's perceptions of Truth, even if all those Truths are correct.

Also, an interesting question that I think would be impossible to answer other than from the heart... Is the total universe larger, or smaller than that which is contained in the total consciousness of all that is?

The Law of One material, and the visions of Peregrinus and Carrie, all describe an Existence that became Aware. Once it become Aware, it expanded into a small number of fundamental principles and then, as the Tao says, "the ten thousand things." Does it means anything for our Awareness to speculate on the nature of Existence before there was Awareness? If so, we'd be unable to be Aware of what that might mean, by definition, wouldn't we?
