Quantum Revelation notes

It is the alchemists’ version of imagination—what they called true imagination (a creative activity originating out of and expressing the wholeness of the self), as distinct from mere fantasy (a repetitive and self-soothing activity of the ego, the fundamental purpose of which is to avoid a relationship with life)—that Einstein was referring to when he famously said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.”
In essence, the ideas of space and time are creations of the mind that serve as the screen upon which we project the contents of the depths of our mind, both conscious and unconscious. Being constructs of consciousness as well as the receptacles for its projections, space and time serve as consciousness’s own way of providing a context for its contents so that they can be revealed, brought to light, reflected upon, and contemplated by a consciousness that is forever getting to know itself in new ways.
What seems to be an independent universe is in actuality a play of appearances, a persistent and persuasive false imagination, an unexamined and clearly mistaken metaphysical assumption. The image of an objective world appears to and within the mind, arising from the mind itself. But an actually existing objective world independent of an observing consciousness does not—and quantum physics irrefutably proves cannot—exist in reality.
