I am half way through Daniel Pinchbeck, 2012: THe Return of Quetzalcoatl. In discussing the work of Amit Goswami's 1993 book "The Self Aware Universe" he says that....

The ego, which Goswami calls the "Classic Self" - develops habitual patterns of thought and behavior in response to conditioning. Over time, this conditioning creates a probabilistic bias in favor of past patterns of response. "Once a task has been learned, then for any situation involving it, the likelihood that the corresponding memory will trigger a conditioned response approaches 100 percent." In the same way that classical Newtonian Physics is now a recognized subset of quantum physics, "behaviorism is recovered as a special case the more general quantum picture." But beyond our habitual patterns of reaction, we always preserve the potential for spontaneous insight and unconditioned action. "When we act in our conditioned modality, the ego, then our thoughts... seem algorithmic, continuous, and predictable, which gives them the appearance of Newtonian vintage. But there is also creative thought, a discontinuous transition in thinking, a shift of meaning from conditioned to something new of value," writes Goswami, proposing that "creative thought" is "the product of a quantum leap in thinking" Similarly, the Physicist F. David Peat suggested that "synchronicities, epiphanies, peak, and mystical experiences" reveal the mind "operating, for a moment, in its true order... reaching past the source of mind and matter into creativity itself."

So what exactly does all this mean? Yes, there is a difference between the reality we create/perceive, and that with is "actuality". The difficulty lies in the fact that we as a singular planetary consciousness or unbeknownst to most, co-creating the world around us.

Unfortunately we are taught from birth that the world around us and in fact us as a person function in a very specific way. What we are taught however is not actuality, but what the PTB want us to believe is true reality. We are "conditioned" to have certain "responses" to certain things in our "reality".

If you look for example at the Martial Arts Masters of the Shaolin, or the Yogi Masters of India, they are well aware that their minds and bodies are capable of much more than we as a species think. The difference between them and us is the fact that they have been raised from birth with the ancient secrets of spirituality and control of life energies, chakaras, chi, what have you.

The challenge for us is to break the years of conditioning and re-teach our mind and consciousness that what we see around us is not actuality, but merely a perception of a global visualization being manifest by the world-view of every human on the planet. Until we as a planet can come to this realization and as a whole decide to create a new world for ourselves, we must continue to do what we can to re-create our personal experiences in a way that bring light to those around us and teach them to do the same. As more and more people open up to this "Actuality" we will see an increasingly more loving and peaceful world until one day we will reach a state of maximum conscious entropy at which point we will just cease to be what we are now, and become something new.
