1: Is the Universe & all
matter manifested by observing it?
2: Is mind determining
transitions between wave & particle?
3: Are we participating in creating, whatever we observe?
The Blessed Buddha said so
already 2500 years ago...
Recently it was
experimentally shown by Quantum-Physics.
Yet even today it is not
really understood by the many!

Therefore: It is not matter
that creates mind (or brain).
It is mind that creates
matter that creates mind!
Mind & matter are thus
entangled & cannot be considered
neither as separate nor as independent of each other...
Objective observation
independent of mind is impossible!
Dig it friends! It's dizzy.
It's not trivial!
It is really radically
revolutionizing...
This world is mighty hall of
Mirrors!
Buddha once explained: Not
participating by not observing:
In the seen is merely the
process of seeing & what is seen.
In the heard is merely hearing & what is heard.
In the sensed is merely sensing & what is sensed.
In the thought is merely thinking & what is thought.
So knowing, you will not be connected with that.
So disconnected you will not be absorbed within that.
So neither with that nor within that you are not by that!
When there is no you inferred or conjectured by that,
then you are neither here, there, both, nor in between…
On realizing the importance of this the Blessed Buddha
furthermore exclaimed:
Where neither solidity, fluidity, heat nor diffusion find footing,
there no sun, moon nor star ever shines. There is neither any light
yet nor is there any darkness. When the Noble, through stilling of
all construction, through quieting of all mental formation, directly
experiences this, then is he freed from both form & formlessness,
then is he released from both pleasure & pain & gone all beyond…
