The Other
We imagine reality.
Reality, too, imagines us.
Biology fabricates our subjective existence.
Or does it? What if it’s
the other way around? We get a big hint about that in the double slit
experiment (with delayed choice):
The implication is this:
However we approach reality, we meet radiant Mystery. By ‘radiant,’ I mean
self-illuminating. Reality shines a light on itself, its autonomy. Reality, at
the most fundamental quantum level, is the Other.
Look at the double-slit
experiment. The observer decides particle or interference pattern – yet has no
influence where the actual material event occurs: if we choose to observe which
of two slits the particle passes through, we have no influence over which of
the two slits the particle enters. The detector informs us after the fact. Similarly,
if we decide to observe the interference pattern, then we have no influence
over where we will observe any given particle in the plane of observation. Both
results remain wholly random.
Reality, at the most
fundamental quantum level, is the Other.
So … who are we?

Are we . . .
...the mirror-people escaped from their self-portraits?
...individual droplets comprising a much larger wave?
...creatures of a greater wave which is destroyed when we examine it?
...waves of a myriad creatures so long as we do not interfere with it?
We are what breaks down into a higher order
The lower order who peers over its own event horizon
Becoming a higher order that looks back from whence it came
We are broken down from an ionic compound and reconstructed by electrostatic forces...
We are the electrically insulated beings of a highly conductive phenomenon...
We are the escaped electrons of a greater wave that made it through the slit...
Sparks to sparks . . .
Salt to salt . . .
