A radical reconceptualisation of the nature of the Universe, what it means to have a mind, and the nature of the relationship between a perceiving entity and the world that it inhabits.

Excerpts:

'The Universe as a whole is not a living entity, and it is not pervaded with consciousness or psyche/mind. Yet, the Universe is not a mechanism that is constituted out of 'matter'. The entire Universe is pervaded with, and is fundamentally constituted by, feeling. You are a speck of thought/awareness, and the Universe is your feeling body.'

'What it is to be a feeling is to feel, and a feeling doesn't feel itself, it feels that which is not itself, and thereby becomes itself.'

'There is a general rule: every feeling in the Universal Feeling Body is increasingly affected by, and determined by, that which it is increasingly associated with.'

'A speck of thought/awareness is a 'qualityless window' through which the feelings of the Universal Feeling Body appear, and through which the moulded Universe of boundaries and distinct objects is both created and viewed.'

'What usually gives rise to the conception that a speck of thought/awareness has an animal body is that this body stays a constant travelling companion through a changing kaleidoscope of background scenes.'

'Whether a particular segment of the Universe appears to be moving, and how it appears to be moving, or whether it appears to be not moving, is dependent on the structured nature of a particular visual sensing. There is no other way of making sense of the apparent non-movement of that which is moving.'

'When one beholds the Universal Feeling Body as a whole one will be aware that certain bits of it stand out, protrude, as if they were torches illuminating a vast sea of darkness.'

'A body within the body. A human head, torso, arms, and legs, moving through the Universal Feeling Body in a similar way to the way that blood moves/flows through a human body. A continuous movement. A continuous flow. Yet, a process that has no boundaries.'

'The bringing into being of the first speck of thought/awareness is followed by the movement towards increasingly complex specks of thought/awareness. This is really the movement towards increasingly complex thought. For, awareness cannot get more complex - it simply either exists or it does not exist. It is not a phenomenon that can vary in complexity! So, to talk of specks of thought/awareness getting more complex, is to say that awareness is participating in increasingly complex thought.'

'When two feelings feel each other in the Universal Feeling Body, then in terms of human labels/concepts this interaction might be described as a 'melodious/spicy/aching/musty' feeling.'

'When one fully appreciates that what one visually perceives is created by one, then what one visually perceives becomes almost magical to one. One realises that what one visually perceives is fundamentally part of one. Without one, what one visually perceives would not exist. One is bringing this magical beauty into existence.'

'Do you find it strange that that which feels brings into existence an entity that does not feel? Do you find it strange that that which does not feel - a speck of thought/awareness - can make decisions which lead to changes in its Universal Feeling Body?'

'Without a speck of thought/awareness, there is no physicist. Without a speck of thought/awareness, without free will, there is no observed Universe of parts to be investigated by the physicist. The science of physics necessarily entails the existence of free will. That is to say, a speck of thought/awareness provides the possibility for physics to emerge in the observed Universe of parts that is created by a speck of thought/awaren
