Family and Friends
shaped our World,
and what we did,
was Play.
Life
was Truly Wonderful.
The magnificent scenery
was breath taking,
to show us the way,
to other side of Living,
to this Beautiful World
which most of us Today
have never
Truly seen.
.
Let us open
our eyes,
and open our Hearts
to the Wonderful World
God has Blessed us
with.
Less is more.
Less worry and stress,
gives more Time
for depth of discovery,
more Time for each Image
of God’s Beautiful World
to form in the Heart,
in the Mind,
in Tomorrow,
and Today.
.Changing what we Truly
Value,
gives us the Time
to venture deeper
and go beyond
the surface of what we
think
we know,
of who we think
we are.
Today,
take the Time
to tell someone,
“I Love You”.
Someone
is waiting for your Love,
and they will wait
for the rest of your Life
to receive your Love.
Love is waiting.
And God
is watching.
Don’t let Love
pass you by.
We are all
One.
Let us remember,
that we are
Love.
God is Love.
And,
we are His Children.
We are
One.
One with God.
And One with
each other.

Goodnight.
Reality Check: Is Our Universe Real?
Perhaps our human senses are deceiving us — maybe existence is an illusion, and reality isn’t real.
The idea that everything we know is merely a construction of our minds is investigated in the episode of the Science Channel program “Through the Wormhole,” hosted by Morgan Freeman.
“What is real?” Freeman asks in the show. “How can we be certain that the Universe around us actually exists? And how can we know that the world we see matches what anyone else experiences?”
Human senses are fallible. What people think they perceive is actually filtered and processed by the brain to construct a useful view of the world. Normally, this filtering is helpful, allowing people to sort out important information from the barrage of data that comes in every minute from their environment.
But this filtering ability can become a weakness, as it often does when we’re watching a magician.
“A good magician will tap into universal brain processes that underlie perception,” said Lawrence Rosenblum, a psychologist at the University of California, Riverside and a magician himself. For instance, a magician often directs the audience’s gaze to one hand while he does something with the other. [Eye Tricks: Gallery of Visual Illusions]
But Rosenblum doesn’t see the human tendency to fall for such misdirection as evidence that all of reality exists only in our minds. “Our perceptual system can be fooled, but I do not take that at all to mean that we’re constructing reality,” he told LiveScience.
All in the mind
As members of society, people create a form of collective reality. “We are all part of a community of minds,” Freeman says in the show.
For example, money, in reality, consists of pieces of paper, yet those papers represent something much more valuable. The pieces of paper have the power of life and death, Freeman says — but they wouldn’t be worth anything if people didn’t believe in their power.
Money is fiction, but it’s useful fiction.
Another fiction humans collectively engage in is optimism. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot of University College London studies “the optimism bias”: people’s tendency to generally overestimate the likelihood of positive events in their lives and underestimate the likelihood of negative ones.
In the show, Sharot does an experiment in which she puts a man in a brain scanner, and asks him to rate the likelihood that negative events, such as lung cancer, will happen to him. Then, he is given the true likelihood.
When the actual risks differ from the man’s estimates, his frontal lobes light up. But the brain area does a better job of reacting to the discrepancy when the reality is more positive than what he guessed, Sharot said.
This shows how humans are somewhat hardwired to be optimistic. That may be because optimism “tends to have a lot of positive outcomes,” Sharot told LiveScience. Optimistic people tend to live longer, healthier, more successful lives, she said, and the act of positive thinking can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. “If you think you’re more likely to get promoted, you’re more likely to put in more effort and work long hours,” Sharot said.
But this slightly distorted view of the world can also be a weakness — a person might continue to smoke because they don’t expect to get lung cancer, for example. Being more realistic is important in some cases, Sharot cautioned.
Physical reality
Physicists look beyond the human mind for external reality, but even that reality isn’t absolute truth. Fundamental reality as scientists understand it is based on quantum mechanics, a realm where all manner of strange things occur. An electron can behave as either a particle or a wave, depending on how one measures it. And scientists can measure either a particle’s position or its momentum at any given time, but never both.
“Quantum mechanics is simply the best theory we’ve ever developed,” theoretical physicist David Tong, of Cambridge University, says in the show. But so much of this reality is by definition unknowable. Another physicist featured in the show, Steven Nahn of MIT, says “I absolutely believe reality is a real thing, but that does not mean we understand it.” Nahn was part of the team of scientists who found evidence in 2012 for the Higgs boson, the particle that gives other particles their mass.
The universe may turn out to have more dimensions than we know about, where fundamental forces behave very differently than how we perceive them. For example, gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, but in other dimensions, it could be just as strong. “Things would be very different in this hidden reality,” Freeman says. [6 Weird Facts About Gravity]
The universe could even be a kind of hologram. The amount of information that can be stored in a region of space is proportional to the region’s surface area, rather than its volume – a property known as the holographic principle. One possible implication is that reality is actually two-dimensional, and the three-dimensional world is merely an illusion, which would explain some of the wackiness of quantum mechanics.
All of these views of the world — those that we perceive in our minds, and those that physicists discover in the universe — are flavors of reality. What humans perceive as reality may be no more than an illusion. But in the end, maybe that doesn’t matter.
