<p><span>Viewed from a neighbouring galaxy I who am nothing but capacity here at centre, manifest over there as a spiral galaxy - the Milky Way. Spinning majestically like a slow Catherine wheel I am composed of perhaps 100 billion stars and am about 13.6 billion years old, give or take 800 million years! I am a fairly large spiral galaxy some 120,000 light years across and 3000 light years thick in my centre. I live in a cluster of about 30 galaxies known as the Local Group, the other large galaxy in this group, the Andromeda Nebula, being about 2 million light years away (from the Earth). Currently I am colliding with a small neighbouring galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, but not for the first time. It will probably pass through me without causing any serious damage. The most distant group of galaxies I've so far discovered is 13.5 billion light years away. I am one among 100 billion or more galaxies (who knows?) rushing outwards from some mysterious primal explosion.</span></p>

<p><b> demonstration</b> by Douglas ...</p>
<p><span class="Ub gna"><br/><strong> A nice graphic explanation by Douglas</strong>. </span>Max Planck, the first of</p>
<p> the great quantum physicists, said - "There is no matter as such.</p>
<p> All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which</p>
<p> brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most</p>
<p> minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind</p>
<p> this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind.</p>
<p><strong> This mind is the <a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/a-matrix" target="_self">matrix</a> of all matter</strong>."</p>
<p></p>
<p><span> So could I deduce that quantum mechanics actually describes brain</span></p>
<p><span> activity, a cognitive illusion</span><span> that interprets nature from observing as</span></p>
<p><span> an experience of seeing with objects labelled as </span><span>"electrons", "protons"</span></p>
<p><span> etc, even more recently as large molecules?? If so then will the final</span></p>
<p><span> explanation of the cosmos come from discoveries of cognitive</span></p>
<p><span> neuro–science and not from</span><span> physics?? Do we indeed carry time and</span></p>
<p><span> space ( space[TIME] ) like the shell on the turtle? So call it </span><span>headless,</span></p>
<p><span> call is what you will, we are just consciousness with a little dangly</span></p>
<p><span> thingy as me as</span><span> sub-consciousness? Just a thought.</span></p>

He grew up in a strict fundamentalist Christian sect, the Exclusive Plymouth Brethren. The ‘Brethren’ believed they were the ‘saved’ ones, that they had the one true path to God and that everyone else was bound for Hell. When Harding was 21 he left. He could not accept their view of the world. What guarantee was there that they were right? What about all the other spiritual groups who also claimed that they alone had the Truth?</p>
<p><strong>Everyone couldn’t be right.</strong></p>
<p>In London in the early 1930s Harding was studying and then practising architecture. In his spare time, however, he devoted his energies to philosophy - to trying to understand the nature of the world, and the nature of himself. Into philosophy at this time were filtering the ideas of Relativity. Influenced by these ideas, <strong>Harding realized that his identity depended on the range of the observer – from several metres he was human, but at closer ranges he was cells, molecules, atoms, particles… and from further away he was absorbed into the rest of society, life, the planet, the star, the galaxy… <em>Like an onion he had many layers.</em></strong><em><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/it-was-his-experience-of-the" target="_self"></a></em></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/it-was-his-experience-of-the" target="_blank">Clearly he needed every one of these layers to exist.</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/it-was-his-experience-of-the" target="_blank">But what was at the centre of all these layers? Who was he really?</a></strong></p>
