Standing in the mirror this morning I had a thought.
Experience is something and reality is nothing. The brain is a type of reflecting machine that turns nothing into something.
For example, a mirror is nothing before brilliance illuminates it's reflection. The mind is nothing until a brain manifests the environment to create an experience. The mind is almost an identical metaphor of a mirror, only just the ultimate metaphysical mirror.
The bathroom mirror has material that reflects photons and exists as a symmetrical copy of light, which we then perceive in our mind as reflection. The mirrors reflection is absorbed through the eyes and recreated within your brain. Just like how a mirror holds an intrinsic copy of light, your mind is a unique copy of the universe.
Inflection!
Yes, I'm saying we're all the same nothing, but can become something with a brain and environment communicating. We are the brain as much as the whole environment, but it's clearly part of our game to pretend to be free existing agents separate from the environment. Damn clever trickery.
Everyone is a youniverse.
What are your thoughts on mind and environment, nothing and something?
