We see things with our eyes, right? Wrong. We see things with our brains. Our eyes are just sensory mechanisms designed to capture what seems to be a small spectrum of light waves and then share that information with our brains as electrical impulses. Our brain is then just interpreting these electrical impulses as something we are seeing. So, if what we think we are seeing with our eyes is really just electrical impulses in our brains, then how do we know that what we are seeing is really there? Answer: We don't. All we can really know is that we think we are seeing something.
You may be thinking, "I know that what I am seeing is really there because I can touch it." Are you really touching it? No. The nerve cells in your hand seem to be touching it and, like your eyes, are sharing the information with your brain.
This opens up the possibility that what we are experiencing and what is really there, may be two different things. Well, not only is this possible, that is actually the way it really is.
We know from scientific research that all matter is made of atoms. And, that all atoms are made of subatomic "particles". What are subatomic "particles" made of? Answer: Pure energy. So, everything is made of energy.
"Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real." - Niels Bohr (Nobel prize in physics 1922)
Okay, so everything is made of pure energy, and what we seem to be experiencing is an amazing assortment of microbes and galaxies. What is actually causing us to see all this pure energy as an incredibly diverse universe? Answer: We are also made of pure energy. So, we are actually energy beings experiencing other energy.
The implications of this are astounding.
