“The physical universe that you see is all in your mind. When you turn your mind off, or become unconscious, the physical universe, for you, disappears. Then, when you awaken your consciousness, the universe reappears magically. Quite simple really - no thoughts on your part, no physical world. As Walt Whitman succinctly stated: "The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual - namely to You." Without your mind to process it, the universe simply disappears into nothingness.” WorldMindWholeTurnsUniverseIndividualProcessSimpleConsciousnessTheoryDisappearUnconsciousNothingnessWalt Author:Wayne Dyer
“Knowledge is not a series of self-consistent theories that converges toward an ideal view; it is rather an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible (and perhaps even incommensurable) alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth that is part of the collection forcing the others into greater articulation and all of them contributing, via this process of competition, to the development of our consciousness.” SelfProcessViewsConsciousnessGreaterTheoryDevelopmentOceanIdealsCompetitionSeriesMythTalesAlternativesFairyCollectionsConsistentFairy TaleContributingArticulation Book:Against method: outline of an anarchistic theory of knowledge Source: Against method: outline of an anarchistic theory of knowledge
“The idea that excites me the most concerns the two greatest puzzles in science: the origin of the universe, and the origin of consciousness. The origin of the universe is what I do for a living, working on string theory. But I am also fascinated by consciousness.” TwoIdeasUniverseConsciousnessTheoryConcernStringsFascinatedPuzzlesString Theory Author:Michio Kaku

“Just as an age was ready to receive the Copernican theory of the universe, so is our own age ready for the ideas of reincarnation and karma to be brought into the general consciousness of humanity.

“What's popularly known as the evolution of consciousness, in other words that the expansion of cognitive repertoire that occurs in human beings, which has always been a great puzzle to evolutionary theory, I believe, occurred in the presence of a kind of catalyst for the human imagination.” BelieveHumansKindI BelieveImaginationHuman BeingsConsciousnessKnownTheoryEvolutionExpansionPuzzlesCatalystCognitiveHuman Imagination Author:Terence McKenna
“I've been wanting to tell people my theory about what goes on after time. It's beyond our consciousness.

“But although in theory physicists realize that their conclusions are ... not certainly true, this ... does not really sink into their consciousness. Nearly all the time ... they ... act as if Science were indisputably True, and what's more, as if only science were true.... Any information obtained otherwise than by the scientific method, although it may be true, the scientists will call "unscientific," using this word as a smear word, by bringing in the connotation from its original [Greek] meaning, to imply that the information is false, or at any rate slightly phony.” IfsMayDoeScienceRealizingConsciousnessInformationTheoryScientistOriginalsMethodRateConclusionBeing TrueGreekPhysicistPhonyScientific MethodConnotation Author:Anthony Standen
