Our Invisible Bodies

Between the Moon and earth

Prologue

This distinction between past, present, and future is only an

illusion

albert einstein, Physicist

Conventional neuroscience assumes that there is a real objective world ‘out

there’ and that the brain constructs a world that is representative of this

world. But how do we prove that? do we use our three- dimensional instru-

ments to probe and our three-dimensional consciousness to verify?

What exactly is out there?

Contrary to the conventional neuroscientific three-dimensional model,

cutting-edge physics tells us that the world ‘out there’ is multi-dimensional

and not solid but a cacophony of waveforms. The three-dimensional world

constructed by the brain is a reduction and a limited interpretation of what

is really out there. In eastern religious philosophy and certain Western phi-

losophies, there is a bold assertion that what is out there is a paradoxical

‘full-void’ — i.e. a nothingness which contains everything. apparently, this

void has been ‘experienced’ by mystics and advanced meditators — as re-

corded quite extensively in religious scriptures and the metaphysical litera-

ture. In this void, space and time are meaningless. The Surangama Sutra of

the Buddhists emphatically point out that location in space is illusionary.

Saint augustine believed in an ever-present eternity which was not acces-

sible to humans. Both space and time may be illusions.

Ultimately, all moments are really one. Therefore now is

eternity.

david Bohm, Physicist
