So where do the esoteric experiences you have described from meditation come from if not from the Absolute? From my head. My head creates my experience of the world outside and meditation changes how the different parts of the brain communicates so that my subjective world alters too. I think. It's either that or some mystical thing that is beyond our understanding. So I stick with materialism until proved otherwise because we know our brains are running the show and we've no reason to suspect there is need of any other forces to create consciousness. While it remains poorly understood there will always be wiggle room for people to sneak in ideas that make it seem more than it is. In addition I am watching Hammond talk about seeing Marshy - this guy was hallucinating and that's about it. I felt a bit sorry for him after a while. But he lives in an exciting world, I never get to speak with God.... How was the Mockingjay movie?

Yup, I'm as much a philosophical realist as you can be in a post-Newtonian, quantum world.

The absolute is all that is and everything else is just an illusion. This is where I go wrong. I'm utterly convinced it's the other way round!
