"According to biocentrism, we cannot fathom anything outside the spatiotemporal logic comprising the mind’s algorithms. If you ask how that came to be, whether it had a birth, or all such imponderables, you’re back to the Being of Parmenides and the mystics. If it can be apprehended directly in 'enlightened' states, so be it. But in the science and logic business, if we want to know what to make of such unexplorable meadows, there’s no reason it must be either titillating or depressing. The ancient Greeks weren’t bothered at all; they generally found futility amusing. If something lay clearly beyond their ken, they’d laugh and pour another glass of wine.
The first illusion-busting step involves tossing out today’s dead universe paradigm, which is as antiquated as all those turtles that once supposedly supported the flat Earth beneath our feet. Even then we may still be teased by things ungraspable via the matrix of logical symbolism, the medium of language.
The second illusion-busting step is to toss out the “I” feeling. Even if we grasp that this “me,” ourselves, is what creates the framework of time and space, that’s probably not enough to impart the full, exuberant experience of unity. Indeed, as our powerful technological instruments extend both our perceptions and our illusions (as when we use our telescopes), we’re filled with awe at the universe’s vastness but also invariably feel even smaller and less consequential. Thus, modern science knowledge rarely helps us get closer to what’s really going on when it comes to the Whole Picture.
It’s a vast realm, that of visual phantoms and optical illusions. Ours is a funny old universe, with real things that cannot be seen, like love and neutrinos and dark matter. Yet, conversely, it also has dramatic-looking entities that lack any physical existence at all. We’ve awakened in a hall of mirrors.
Enchanting indeed are their countless reflections. Still, by penetrating the veil of appearances, biocentrism opens an entire new world of possibilities."
