Mindstream Index

About MINDSTREAM [making sense of nonsense]:       

Pattern Interruption Non-News has no informational value, just potential experiential value.  [Food-for-thought, by definition, comes with indigestion.  If food-for-thought goes down easy, it's not food-for-thought but just brain-candy.]

I write this freely, unafraid of self-contradiction.  And I encourage you to read this blog with the same attitude of interpretive freedom.

Walt Whitman:  Do I contradict myself?  Very well, then I contradict myself.  I am large: I contain multitudes.

Confusion* is enlightenment [of sorts].

confusion =  letting go of the known + stepping into the unknown = openness of mind

A Matter of Opinion

Ontologically, I boxed myself into a corner.
A point of view always remains, right, René?

Life (and Death, for that matter) is a matter of opinion,
i.e. a matter of consciousness,
i.e. (again) an opinion made of matter.

So, before you kick a random stone on the road,
ask yourself:
“Does it consider itself alive?”

The Hunt for Red-Blue October

At a
sub-atomical level
of, course, I am matter.
But at a
sub-atomical level
of, course, I am consciousness.
Is the sub of your meaning diving or resurfacing right now?

Matter = Information = Mind?

Frank Wilczek (Nobel Prize in Physics 2004), in his book (The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces), in his introduction of quarks and gluons ("the littler bits" within protons and neutrons), concludes: "the its are the bits." The "its" here is not a misspelling. What Wilczek asserts is that the fundamental objects of matter are... information.  In other words, matter = information = mind. What do you think?
