I think it’s nice to take a little break from all the world chaos and upheaval, and consider the nature of REALITY itself. Nothing stressful about that, is there?
Just ran across this tidbit post from Neil deGrasse Tyson (American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator) that shares the philosophies I’ve been slowly absorbing over the last decade: We create our reality as we go. And experiencing that mind-created reality is similar to our being a proxy avatar in a computer-generated game where we determine our own purposes, create our own goals and compete in contests to match our respective environments as we pit our knowledge and resourcefulness against unknown adversaries in ever-increasing challenges to grow our conscious awareness.
So what’s the prize for winning the ‘reality’ game? You no longer need to play it.
ENJOY! ***
“WARNING: …
Reality: A Mind-Bending Illusion You Never Knew Existed
Imagine if the world around you—the vibrant colors, the solid ground beneath your feet, the very reality you take for granted—was nothing more than a elaborate construction of your mind. What if the red of a rose, the blue of the sky, or the feeling of a warm touch were not objective facts, but dynamic creations emerging from consciousness itself?…
Cutting-edge research suggests that consciousness might not be a byproduct of our brain, but a fundamental force that literally constructs reality. Quantum physicists like Dean Radin and theorists such as Donald Hoffman are uncovering evidence that challenges our most basic assumptions: What if observation itself creates the world we experience?
High-strangeness phenomena—from near-death experiences to unexplained consciousness events—hint at a reality far more fluid and mysterious than our current scientific paradigms can explain. These aren’t mere anomalies, but potential windows into a deeper understanding of existence. …
We stand at a fascinating crossroads. Are we ready to expand our perception, to consider that reality might be a dynamic, consciousness-driven process rather than a fixed, objective landscape?
The invitation is clear: Question everything. The most profound discoveries await those willing to look beyond the familiar.

Oh yes, and if you want a real hoot, read Jane Robert’s SETH series for background info into the ‘nature of reality.’ She goes into great depth on the subject. The image quote above came from that book set. It’s been around awhile.
