NTEGRAL WORLD MAILING LIST http://www.integralworld.net Newsletter Nr. 918 Amsterdam, January 9th, 2021 THE EMPTINESS WITHIN - JOE CORBETT Everything around you that you can see and touch, all the solid “stuff” that we call physical matter, including all the stars and galaxies we see through the Hubble telescope, is an illusion. The material world is an illusion not in the sense that it isn't real, but in the sense that it's not what we think it is. The material world is solid not because matter is solid but because the electromagnetic forces of repulsion between the electrons of atoms prevent your hand from going through the table, but your hand and the table itself are mostly empty space, even more empty than the vast emptiness between the stars and galaxies.

Gauss stated: “Now that I have the solution, I just need to find the logical process that leads to it.” In the present investigation, we find ourselves in a situation similar to that of Gauss. Throughout these pages, we have shown that, far from being a mere product of chance and meaningless, evolution follows a very precise rhythm of unfolding and folding between an original pole, basically of energy, and a final pole, basically of consciousness. How is this possible? What mechanism causes things to happen this way? So far, we have mainly limited ourselves to recounting some facts and to revealing the surprising pattern that links them. In this addendum, we will try to provide the key to explaining this mysterious behaviour of the evolutionary universe. As we will soon see, the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics will provide us with the final clue. Read more: http://www.integralworld.net/faixat9.html
