"We were taught to follow a set of habits and beliefs that totally disregard the mystery of life. These beliefs are contained one inside the other like nested boxes:

 There is material world.

The material world is full of things, events, and people.

I am one of these people, and my status is no higher than that of anyone else.

To find out who I am, I must explore the material world.

This set of beliefs is binding. It allows no room for soul-searching, or even for the soul itself.. Why bring the mystery of life into a system that already knows what is real? But as convincing as the material world looks, to the great embarrassment of modern science, no one has been able to prove that it is real. Ordinary people don' focus on science, so this glaring problem is not well known. Yet any neurologist will assure you that the brain offers no proof that the outside world really exists and many hints that it doesn't.
All the brain does, in fact, is to receive continuous signals about the body's state of chemical balance, temperature, and oxygen consumption, along with a crackling stream of nerve impulses. This mass of raw data starts out as chemical bursts with attached electrical charges. (...)
The cortex doesn't inform us about this never-ending data processing, which is all that is happening inside gray matter. Instead, the cortex tells us about the world - it allows us to perceive sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures - the whole array of creation. The brain has pulled an enormous trick on us, a remarkable sleight of hand, because there is no direct connection between the body's raw data and our subjective sense of an outside world.
For all anyone knows, the entire outside world could be a dream. (...)
This embarrassing problem - that there is no way to prove the existence of an outside world - undermines the entire basis of materialism. Thus we arrive at the second spiritual secret: You are not in the world; the world is in you.
Having said that the whole world is created in me, I immediately realize that you could say the same thing. (...) Everyone is a creator. (...) It is very liberating to realize that as creators we generate every aspect, good or bad, of our experience. In this way, each of us is the center of creation."

W wielkim skrocie, zeby nie przedluzac niepotrzebnie mistykologii i reasumujac - tak naprawde to swiat zewnetrzny nie jest prawdziwy. Nikt nie udowodnil, ze cos takiego istnieje, neurologia wskazuje, ze mozg przetwarza impulsy chemiczne i elektryczne, ale sposob w jaki je odczytuje, nie daje podstaw do niczego.
Wiec jak mawial poeta: zycie jest snem. Albo iluzja.
Tu mi sie przypomina nasze zatwardzenie mozgowe gdy mysle o edukacji. Dobrze pamietam, ze fizyka w drugiej klasie liceum (profil humanistyczny), skonczyla sie na Einsteinie i jego teorii relatywistycznej. A to sie wydarzylo jakies 80 lat wczesniej i jaby nauka stanela w tym miejscu. Czyzby fizyka utknela gdzies po drodze? Nie bylo zadnych innych odkryc pozniej? I na pewno profil matematyczno-fizyczny nie zostal dokarmiony wieksza dawka nowszej fizyki, a jesli tak, to prosze mnie oswiecic. I czy ktos kiedykolwiek wspomnial slowem o fizyce kwantowej? Na ktorej opiera sie cala wspolczesna technologia, tylko nikt nie mowi o konsekwencjach z tego wynikajacych...
Mmmm, drozdzowka tak pieknie pachnie... To mile ze mnie wlasny mozg informuje (oszukuje) w tak apetyczny sposob...
