As Vallee suggested as well as many others, I suspect there is "a physics of information" yet to be understood. Dualism tends to underline a strict interpretation of physicality, whereas what do we see the medium of broadcast signals as ...we cannot see them anymore than thoughts yet they have a physicality while not being amenable to our senses "visualizing" them by detection.Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927396480055054170.post-57592433027130072712015-04-23T12:47:18.604-04:002015-04-23T12:47:18.604-04:00Bruce, I totally agree with you about attention as...Bruce, I totally agree with you about attention as energy. I got interested in this a couple years ago when my Tai Chi instructor offhandedly remarked that "where your attention goes, your energy flows." I subsequently started hearing this same phrase everywhere in New Age writing, and finally traced that phrasing to a popular writer of pseudo Hawaiian shamanism (a book called The Urban Shaman), although it seems to be an ancient idea that corresponds to various conceptions of an "energy body," Ka, etc. What interested me, though, is the possibility that maybe these postulated subtle energies are just cultural ways of symbolizing or understanding the "force" of attention itself--that is, focused consciousness as a creative, shaping factor in the universe.<br /><br />Good post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05021302427590913516noreply@blogger.com
