Where does the mind end… and the physical world begin?
A question that has followed us for centuries.
Science answered part of it. A deeper uncertainty remains.
Can the mind influence physical reality?
An attempt without dogma — and without fantasy. https://t.co/vKnfIJHLfS

For NDEs, the debate is still very much open.
We can explain part of the experience neurologically but the exact timing of consciousness during cardiac arrest remains one of the hardest questions.
If anyone is interested, I wrote a longer piece on it here https://t.co/UIkxBrwMLD
Near-Death Experiences: hallucinations, brain chemistry… or something we still don’t fully understand?
For my first article, I explore what science can explain — and what remains open. https://t.co/xL6lc2lTvy
Matter, space and time once seemed like separate categories.
Physics taught us to rethink that.
What if consciousness doesn’t emerge from reality, but has been part of it from the start?
@Xyphrion Reality gave rise to matter.
Matter gave rise to mind.
Mind gave rise to individual consciousness.
And through us, reality experiences itself.
What an amazing possibility
If the universe has a purpose, perhaps it isn’t a destination imposed from outside.
Maybe it is the unfolding itself — reality becoming matter, matter becoming life, life becoming consciousness, and consciousness becoming able to experience and understand reality itself.
Maybe… we are all one?

Interesting case, but I’d love to see more medical details about what actually happened during those eight minutes.
Was the heart truly stopped the entire time? What about brain activity? And most importantly: did the reported experience actually occur during that period, or during loss/recovery of consciousness?
@realmunotida My friend, think beyond the binary. None of this denies God’s existence. I’m simply fascinated by the fact that matter became life, life became mind, and mind became able to ask what reality is
The strangest thing in the universe may not be matter, stars or black holes — but the fact that anything is aware of them.
Matter became life. Life became mind. Mind became able to ask what reality is.
One of the most remarkable lessons of relativity is how much our everyday intuition can fail us.
Space and time are not independent. Gravity is not simply a force pulling objects together. Mass and energy reshape spacetime itself, and motion follows that geometry.
The deeper physics goes, the more often apparently separate phenomena turn out to be connected
@realbillyuzi Exactly
Matter became organized enough to look back at the universe and somehow ask what reality itself is.
That transition may be stranger than anything else we know
Fascinating idea. Perhaps the most interesting part is that the laws of physics may not have been fully fixed from the beginning, but emerged and stabilized as the universe evolved.
In that sense, the universe may be less like a machine following a prewritten rulebook and more like a process whose rules developed along with it.
And perhaps what we call reality is still part of that unfolding process , not simply its final product.
A fascinating possibilit
Quantum physics has already shown us that reality is far stranger than our everyday intuition suggests.
Whether consciousness belongs somewhere in that deeper picture remains an open question.
We’re nowhere near proving it but we shouldn’t close the door too quickly either.
@NextScience Perhaps some things that appear separate to us are simply local expressions of a deeper structure — one that, at a more fundamental level, can only be described as a whole.
