Quote by C.S. Lewis

“...there had been too much light ever since they left the island of Ramandu -- the sun too large (though not too hot), the sea too bright, the air too shining. Now the light grew no less -- if anything increased -- but they could bear it. They could look straight up at the sun without blinking. They could see more light than they had ever seen before...And the next morning, when the sun rose, now five or six times its old size, they stared hard into it and could see the very feathers of the birds that came flying into it.”

“They pulled apart when Keefe shouted, "YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS!" They ran to the main room and found Keefe standing under the skylight, holding up Mr. Snuggles like it was a baby lion about to be made king. The sparkly red dragon twinkled almost as much as Keefe's eyes as he said, "I went in to check on our boy and found him cuddling with THIS!" "Isn't that the same dragon Fitz brought to your house that one time?" Dex asked Sophie. "WHAT?" Keefe shouted. "YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!" "Mr. Snuggles wasn't my secret to share," Sophie said. "IT'S NAME IS MR. SNUGGLES?! That is... I can't even..." Keefe ran back to Fitz's room shouting, "ARE YOU MISSING YOUR SNUGGLE BUDDY?!" "Fitz is going to die of embarrassment, you know that, right?" Biana asked.”

“The Lorentz transformations unambiguously show that Cartesian dualism is compatible with mainstream science, except this is not true dualism at all. The true reality is the absolute reality of frequency, of light, of mind, of c. The derived reality, the conditional, contingent reality is the relative reality of spacetime, of matter, of v. Therefore, idealism is true, and idealism can fully explain materialism. The reverse cannot be accomplished. Relative materialism cannot explain absolute idealism.”

“The Lorentz transformations, when properly understood, are revealing a mathematical relation between mind and matter. Descartes argued that mind is unextended and matter extended, yet can interact with each other. The Lorentz transformations show how this actually works. Light is unextended, and matter is extended, yet matter is wholly defined relative to light, and cannot exist without light. Because light is absolute, it is eternal and necessary. Because matter is relative, it is temporal and contingent. It’s all in the math. The Lorentz transformations mathematically prove that idealism is true and materialism false. Idealism is absolute, and materialism relative (dependent, derived, created, caused)”
