if people really knew that consciousness and not matter is the link that connects us with each other and the world, then their views about war and peace, environmental pollution, social justice, religious values, and all other human endeavors would change radically.

The Self-Aware Universe
Few of us ever stop to ask one of the most basic questions about the Universe: Where is it? The answer can help us understand the structure of nature and rid the mind of useless things.
To do so requires us to deviate from conventional thinking. We’re taught since childhood that the universe can be divided into two entities — ourselves and what’s outside of us. This seems logical and apparent. What is “me” is commonly defined by what I can control. I can move my fingers but I cannot wiggle your toes. The dividing line between self and nonself is generally taken to be the skin.
Fact: “appearance is relative to the range of the observer”
Question: What do you look like at Zero distance?
