While science can describe and even make predictions based on the laws of physics, physicists admit we still don’t understand what gravity actually is or how light is actually produced or why its speed is constant. Neuroscience still hasn’t got a clue about what a thought is even though everyone seems to have an infinite supply. And what about love? Is it just a hormonal function of biology, a strategy for egos, or something much, much more? http://thoughtmedicine.com/2010/07/w...vie-inception/
The author tells us the movie Inception popularizes three basic concepts:
  1. Your subconscious is more powerful than your conscious mind.
  2. Thoughts are seeds.
  3. Reality is relative and multi-dimensional.
The author also introduced me to the concept of a meme. To borrow from the article's ending, I ask you:
What are your thoughts about consciousness, memes and reality? How does this awareness transform the way you experience your life? Please comment.

We can also learn that when in doubt about whether one is truly still dreaming or not... Throwing one's self off of a building might not prove to be the healthiest way to find out.

No matter how confident you are that you are still dreaming.
Thanks for this!
