This shows that the Universe is Mental indeed. The outer world being a reflection of the inner world.
All is consciousness, the physical being the mirror of the spiritual. We can alter external reality by transforming our internal mentality.
Psychological integration is the key to manifesting more wholeness and completeness in our lives.

Three cheers, mindreality! If everyone would integrate psychologically, or even a critical mass of people did so, the implications are mind-blowing!
I've said for a long time that physicists won't find a Theory of Everything until they factor in consciousness, which is fundamental (in the physics sense), I believe.
My reference above to The End of Time alluded to the book by that name by physicist Julian Barbour (which I don't pretend to understand, BTW).
Quote:
The End of Time
When people explain how our normal experiences give no inkling of relativity and quantum mechanics, the great speed of light and the tiny action quantum are often invoked.
Relativity was discovered so late because all normal speeds are so small compared with light's.
Similarly, quantum mechanics was not discovered earlier because all normal actions are huge compared with Planck's constant. [In the quantum world, action is always quantized in terms of Planck's constant.]
This is true, but in a sense it is also misleading.
For physicists at least, relativity is completely comprehensible.
The mismatch between the relativistic world and its non-relativistic appearance to us is entirely explained by the speed of light.
In contrast, the mere smallness of Planck's constant does not fully explain the classical appearance of the quantum world.
There is a mystery.
It is, I believe, intimately tied up with the nature of time.
--Julian Barbour, The End of Time, p. 186

Who knows, maybe thought is superluminal, or more likely
feeling, which may be more fundamental than thought, is superluminal.

Superluminal communication is the term used to describe the hypothetical process by which one might send information at faster-than-light (FTL) speeds. Scientific investigation has thus far produced no empirical evidence for superluminal communication.

Boy, I'm really in over my head here....
Editing here: I just decided to Google "Is Consciousness Fundamental?" and other people think this too! (I don't get out much....)
Quote:
Is Consciousness as Fundamental as Space, Time and Energy?
What is consciousness and how important is it to intelligence? Can a computer be truly intelligent without also being conscious? If not, then can consciousness be synthesized on a computer or is consciousness something fundamental to the basic structure of the universe, like space, time and energy?
