I learned this the hard way, my stupid ego can get pretty large, but you can take my word that I've experienced this as the Truth.

I agree with you, Microcosm. Awareness is all that is. It is the pulse-beat of existence.

I also agree with this in a way. If all is illusion, then illusion is real. However, in the proper context illusion is simply an inaccurate perception of something we observe which I feel is often the case with matters of metaphysical inquiry.

I also agree with Dharma, that "realities" or "experiences" are like radio stations which can be tuned into. You simply have to use your consciousness like a tuning fork and come into vibrational sympathy with the experience you desire to manifest.

From my perspective, everything is composed of thought, which I personally define as the shape of consciousness at any given relative frame (or time). The realm of pure consciousness is intangible in nature and less objectified/constricted/dense than the tangible or specific world which we find ourselves a party to. The tangible world is a cross section through the intangible realm, almost like a crystallization of energy. "Frozen energy". The quantifiable world is contained within the UN-quantifiable world.

The relative world is contained within the absolute.

All art objects (actually all objects in general), like sculptures, paintings, and even architectural structures, are cross sections through the intangible continuum of thought. Everything is a thought form. Some would define the intangible world as the "spiritual world" and the tangible realm as the "physical world". They are two sides of the same coin.

The tangible world is the result of intangible consciousness constricting its self to specific form. This results in a temporary state of diminished free will, which results from awareness being lost in the constriction. Its energy becomes "less", or you could say its vibrations became slower and more dense.

Waves are the natural state of the intangible. Rather than being limited to specific "form" it exists as a probability cloud. You can't say its in any particular place, only where it is "likely" to be found. It gains particle form when it constricts itself and loses some free will. But, at its core, it will always be consciousness, no matter how constricted it becomes. So it will always have the potential to increase its consciousness. The more "awake" it becomes the more of its "wave nature" will be exhibited.

You see, even matter is having awareness lessons...
