The Formation of Physical Reality

For those who are interested, a new article entitled “The Formation of Physical Reality” is now on the Bodhimind Institute website, http://www.bodhimindinstitute.org

Hopefully, the article will be inspiring to those are in their own process of learning to understand how reality is manifested, by showing that one can, in fact, see into these processes, and discern by themselves how they work. Because the article is written from the perspective of first hand experience, it has not been necessary to employ abstract Buddhist terminology.

Written from a Western perspective, the material in the article covers ground that may not be addressed in other Buddhist literature and may be entierly new to some. Nevertheless, the material should be understandable to most people, as it is plainly laid out and includes many examples of the processes that are being presented.


From the article:

This is one of the most interesting subjects of our time. Unfortunately, the explanations of both science and religion have largely left this subject with limited understandings. Nevertheless, the basic explanations of the workings of this are fairly easy to understand. The explanation that is presented here is one that is based upon the author’s direct observations while practicing Zen mediation.

In order to set the stage for further understanding the device of an analogy is being used to a limited extent. The concept of a group of writers will be used as an analogy to illustrate how this process works on a fundamental level. In addition, other concepts will be introduced along with the analogy, which are not analogies, but generalizations of processes at work.
