Blog #10: The Universe In Our Mind

Image
For years many years since I was a kid, I pondered the question "What is the universe?" And no I am not a Ph D. scientist nor some notarized expert but an average human being. I don't have credibility besides my own experiences.  The answer to that question is as simple as it is complicated. The universe is "Us." We are the universe. Life is the universe It is a fact that the materials that compose the power, nuclear stars in the night sky all reside with our selves and other basic life forms. We are stars but they are also us. We are the grandchildren of exploded star from billions of years ago. We, the seeds of our nuclear counterparts. Their power resides in us as it once resided in them.  The relationship between quantum mechanics and consciousness is a topic of much debate and speculation in the fields of physics, philosophy, and neuroscience.
