Do we live inside of a Brain?

A brain is the source of all your experiences, if that's what you mean.

Wake up.
dream again. the universe is consciousness. Made in it's image. Dreaming is creation. Thoughts conspire actions. We are the being. We are the dream. Go back to sleep. Wake up. Dream again. We're all connected, follow the mycellial, dark-matter, nueral-network. Cuz I dream it this way. Infinite potential.

Very, very interesting.
That image above is certainly suggestive of a mirroring; as above, so below principle. I found this interesting: We are the Eyes and Ears of GaiaI remember during meditation one time I had a strong impression that in this altered state we not only experience the mind of God, but God also experiences the physical creation through us - that matches what the article suggests! Anyone else ever experience this kind of impression? Perhaps the altered state of meditation provides a conscious awareness of this connection, while what we consider to be the "normal" "awake" state is relatively unconscious. This reminds me that herb promotes a meditative state, and that the meaning of the Hebrew word for incense is "to join". An the article says that Psychics, Mediums, Clairvoyants and Mystics do what they do by tapping into Earth's neural networks. This sounds like a kind of "joining" to me; participating in a larger reality. If Gaia has/is a mind that is interconnected to us in this way, then it seems reasonable that Gaia too is part of the larger mind that the article calls the Universe. Wow. Cool article!

 We all have our own lessons to learn in this life, some of which include bad shit ie: suffering and pain. Though, no matter what we go through something's looking out for us.
