Film, television, and video games pack in as much fast-paced, loud, intense action in a minute as real life does in a week. The nervous system, conditioned to such intense stimuli, becomes uncomfortable in the presence of the slow, the quiet, and the natural. As Lao-tau said, “Colors blind the eyes, sounds deafen the ears, flavors spoil the palate.”

A Revolution in Human Consciousness

Are we being coerced into altered modes of consciousness? Is is possible that the non-linear connections over space and time between our species will be one of the aspects that will become more dominant in the years ahead?

This essay is about a shocking contradiction in our common sense about the nature of reality, a contradiction that you are probably totally unaware of. Becoming aware of this contradiction has the potential to change your life.

In this essay, I want to summarize some of the common ways in which materialists beg the question: that is, the ways in which they argue for the validity of materialism by assuming materialism in the argument.

Materialism is the doctrine that only matter is real. Hence minds are in
brains, and mental activity is nothing but brain activity. This

theory.
