If all people have their own truth tunnel, will the collective consciousness(noosshere) of the dogmatized majority out-rule the those who are open to awareness. Our elected officials demonstrate that voters are the dogmatized majority that are imposing their view of truth on the minority.

Whatever our apriori assumptions are we tend to see the world thru that prism of assumptions. We never see the world as-it-is or in Sanskrit, yathabhutam. Photons are useful fictions, so is the notion of a wave or particle but what is really going on goes beyond these fictions. To know the way things really are we have to put aside our assumptions, completely. Yes, this is Zen.

Quantum mechanics doesn't make any sense but it is always right.

@Slavestorms your a bit off_track with your religion story.it seems like the system has successfully affected you...i came to this decision after reading your video describtions
-
Hmm interesting... Everything is aiming to Zen. Coincidence?
-
@Jipzorowns ok ya i hear that, so does it mean our minds must be like intertwined for all of us to see the same reality? A bush man from one side of the planet sees and feels the same as a bush man from the other side of the planet on the most part right?
-
so just like space and time, it is all your own experience, everyone is experiencing their own today, their own tomorrow and so forth :-)
-
And take it even further. You must realize that you experience "this" reality, because your brain is functioning in this way, but if you change how your brain is functioning (by taking psychedelics :D) your whole reality changes, because there is no "solid" reality. Your brain (if the brain is even real) and the outside world are the same thing.
It means that matter is only there because your mind tells you that there is matter, so paradox, how is the mind made out of matter? :)

well... it's pretty obvious. I mean take the taste of food. Your brain tells you that some foods are sweet or taste that way. It does not taste that way, your brain tells you that you it tastes that way. The same goes for all the senses, it is all created by the brain. There is a reason he said; every model we make of the universe does not describe the universe, it describes what our brain is capable of saying at this time.

@Jipzorowns i like that idea, proving it is the hard part.... one day hopefully,
-
hmm yes, but even though, it is still just in your mind. It is there and not there at the same time.
quantum physics is like tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing yet it can be (or is) anything and everything until we experience tomorrow it does not have a single point. so an electron is everywhere until we observe it then it becomes somewhere?? am i getting close??

@jamesodinson That works for me. Have you seen or read any Prof George Lakoff & his counter arguments to the enlightenment? Reason aka Thinking appears to be 98% subconscious in conceptual frames with metaphors & cultural narratives
Bob said the same thing, everything is metaphor, we need to get more cynical about our words
Most of us are blindly playing roles based upon CULTural beLIEfs, hero, villain, strict parents, obedient children, security, it's just a job, I was only following orders..

@jamesodinson The second video in the RAW playlist - Free your mind - watch?v=VEOIfLcjdbg has his comment on metaphor
There are pieces of the puzzle laying around all over the place
Lakoff did a good presentation at U of O I put up a short version of it a few days ago. He was a bit of an Obama sniffer back in 2008 I wonder what he would say about him today
It's funny to see how rhetoric can influence apparently intelligent people
Perhaps it is just hope but I see a better future than THX1138

I think you're crossing two things which aren't at all related in regards to your comments about the "NWO" and everything.
Even if these conspiratorial groups exist in as powerful a way as you perceive them, their members would have to be operating on a much lower level of understanding and consciousness to even be interested in world domination; in which case, they would have no chance of success.
Sorry bud, but no ONE is REALLY in control.

So you have a stochastic coincidence theory of the world?
