I actually came across this video a few days before it was posted. The video and sound were well done.

The attempts to correlate physics and Eastern thought are not new. There have been several books that have attempted to bridge science and these philosophies. There have been interesting critiques and debates on the pros and cons of making these kinds of comparisons.

However, we can utilize this kind of perspective to note that there is another aspect of duality involved. The conceptual and the non-conceptual are a concept. Who knows?

The neon finger pointing at the lunar object seems to be about not being about that. The grasshoppers of perception quantum leap through the wavicles of form -as-emptiness signifying that, no matter what, and no matter what's the matter, this is it?

Everybody be well!
