We are third dimensional beings, string theory reckons there are 10 dimensions. Science suspects time doesn’t exist, a quote: “the most successful theories in physics prove that time does not exist”. It’s hard to imagine other dimensions when all we know is length, width, height, and time. Science now suspects consciousness is the fabric of the universe. Clearly thought exists and must be accounted for.

The scientific theory monism says consciousness is not a product of the brain, it exists independently in its own right. There is nothing green or tasty in the brain, it is conscious perception that makes it so. Monist thinkers suggest that we are altered consciousness of the collective obtaining our individuality that way, multiple personality disorder. They say physical objects are mental projections for communication between conscious agents. Quantum’s double slit experiment proves that particles don’t acquire a state without perception. In the experiment until observed the polarity of a quark remains as a wave, when observed it measures as though a disconnected particle.

Questioning the reality of matter is confronting, we are constantly stimulated by it in this dimension. Certainly we perceive a material world, our perception may not be of the actual but an expression of consciousness. Quantum also points to perception as the source of matter. Monist theory claims everything is consciousness and matter an epiphenomenon of it.
