"We're teaching people how to use their head. The point is in order to use your head you have to go out of your mind, out of all the esthetics and all the ways in which you think."

"Evolution is not the survival of the fittest; it is the Increase in Intelligence. Matter is the freezing, i.e., the storing of bits of information. Energy is the movement of quanta of information. We have, accordingly, defined the universe as an enormous, totally-efficient information-processing network. A brain." --Timothy Leary

"The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." -Karl Rove

Great quote! Hey, I just purchases a spinning top just like that one, in your post!
"I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that."
Byron Katie

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Quote:
The disappearance of God has left us facing reality and the ideal prospect of transforming this real world. And we have found ourselves confronted with the undertaking of realizing the world, of making it become technically, integrally real. Now, the world, even freed from all illusion, does not lend itself at all to reality. The more we advance in this undertaking, the more ambiguous it becomes, the more it loses sight of itself. Reality has barely had time to exist and already it is disappearing...
Jean Baudrillard
Is this true; or however you like to say it? Is something like this happening? What is our world?

So then...are collective perceptions as much, the world? :

“If you are willing to look at another person’s behavior toward you as a reflection of the state of their relationship with themselves rather than a statement about your value as a person, then you will, over a period of time cease to react at all.”
