Just a thought...

Reality is simply a matter of bandwidth. Reality is, therefore, variable as to the degree of information processing capability. Given sufficient processing power, you can create a universe.

Let us consider a mind. Any mind will do. A dragonfly mind would be just fine. A human mind, however, is more familiar to us. From the moment we are born, until the day that we die, our brain resides in complete lightless isolation. Enclosed within the cocoon of our cranium, cushioned in cerebral-cortical fluid, not one single photon of light ever reaches it. Yet it creates our entire universe. Everything we have ever seen, every song we have ever heard, every smell we have ever enjoyed, every touch we have ever cherished, occurs in an utter and completely black lightless space. The internal universe in each one of us is unique in the entire world. We may think that if Harold and Maud are looking at a tree they both see the same thing. They do not (If we find this difficult to believe, the movie of the same name presents a convincing case to the contrary). Look at any group of comments on a given work of art. The distinctions in interpretation (including, of course, my own) are most enlightening. This is not due to artistic incompetence. It also is not because the observer is unperceptive. It is because everyone's internal universe is unique.

Yet this three-pound universe (1.5kg), that we could easily hold in the palm of one hand, contains the essence of our being. If we have ever sought the evidence of a miracle this is it. There are about 100 billion neurons in the brain. This equates roughly to the number of transistors in 500 Pentiums. They vary in size from 4 microns (.004 mm) to 100 microns (.1 mm) in diameter. Their length varies from a fraction of an inch to several feet. The activity of the brain is equivalent to that of a1000 kHz processor with 40 Gbits of states. It is also a fractal structure and can be precisely depicted using specific fractal functions.

The Mona Lisa was made in the brain. Beethoven's Seventh symphony was made in the brain. The Sistine Chapel Frescos were made in the brain. The Hubble Telescope was made in the brain. My renderings in this video were made in my brain. They are expressed externally, but they are created in the brain. This all happens in an utterly black place inside the cranium where our hopes, dreams, loves, wisdom, and everything that comprises our entire universe reside. Is there any possibility here for timeless metaphysical transcendence where the whole is greater than the parts? Of course there is. And many who watch this video will see it. And many more will not. The distinction is, of course, due to my own shortcomings. But I plan to keep trying. Just a thought...

As always, Stan, a gorgeous video complemented by provocative commentary. Re your reference to underlying metaphysical roots (if any), I think Blake once noted something about the "doors of perception..." ;-)

[abysimus]

@NagarajVasuki An excellent exemplar, my friend. Blake is one of the few where I am unable to determine whether it is his writing or his magnificent graphic art that is the greater revelation. Taken together they are peerless. Provocative? Me? Heaven forfend! I am so pleased to hear from you. Your comments are always as instructive as they are kind and, as always, I heartily appreciate them. ~Stan~

[bukbanzi]

It seems that most of the positive comments about your Video have already been said.

So. Just A Thought! Beautiful Soul.Beautiful Mind..Thank you for Everything..Your friend. Buk .

[abysimus]

@bukbanzi Hey Buk, great to hear from you. I assure you that having the comments already said is one thing, but having them said by you is another matter entirely. From you, it is like 'Praise from Cesar'. Thank you so much for all of the support and kindness you have given to me.

One masterpiece after another, Stan ! I think I ran out of superlatives several videos back (=; May you keep inspiring Mathematicians, Environmentalists, Scientists, Artists, Musicians, Philosophers, and those who can still be awed; especially those for whom all 7 apply. (=:

[abysimus]

@rijkent55 Greetings, my friend. Having the privilege of knowing you for sometime now I am convinced of one thing; your command of superlatives is inexhaustible. I am always particularly grateful for your kind words because I have such respect for the wondrous spheres in which your mind travels.

[abysimus]

@alignprogress Thank you once again for taking the time to view and comment on my work. I particularly enjoy the positive metaphysical flavor always inherent in your messages. Your words leave me with the much appreciated feeling of a strong connection.

@BlueAquaMarina Good heavens, Katerina! The profusion of your kind consideration has lifted me up and transported me to the clouds. It is so immensely rewarding to see so much appreciation expressed on the work product of my heart. It is even more meaningful coming from one whose soul is capable of so much depth and beauty. Take care, dear lady. A kiss on the wind from me to you ~Stan~
