Dreamed up Reality

A fascinating scientific and philosophical discussion of the primacy of consciousness and the ways in which thoughts create our reality. The author proceeds through a series of experiments and reflections to show that our picture of reality is a self-fulfilling loop - in the case of materialism, all we see around us seems to confirm our view but we are unaware of the way we create and fulfil this assumption. Through his experiments, the author seeks to deconstruct the filtering mechanisms of the brain to arrive at the realisation that consciousness is non-local field phenomenon not caused by but rather coupled to the brain. He comes to the conclusion that reality is the unfolding of the thought pattern in the imagination and that thought patterns are the underlying building blocks of everything experienced. Kant would agree. He concludes that everything one knows is a projection of the psyche and that everything is in and of mind. He also links this to fractals and computer simulations - a subtle and profound book which will interest all readers exploring the deeper nature of consciousness.
