The deeper I delve into this exploration, the more it appears that our existence isn&#8217;t constructed from matter, but from something more profound\u2014information.<\/p>\n<p>My journey has involved engaging with thinkers like Thomas Campbell, whose book <em>Big TOE<\/em>, listening to Frederico Faggin, and immersing myself in materials such as the Telepathy Tapes. I&#8217;ve experimented with meditation and out-of-body experiences, listened to near-death experiences from friends and even strangers, and reflected on various \u201cwoo-woo\u201d experiences throughout my life. All of this has only solidified my suspicions.<\/p>\n<p>The notion that information, rather than physical entities, may constitute the true essence of reality is not merely an abstract concept; it becomes increasingly coherent when examined from multiple perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>Today, while listening to Diana Pasulka&#8217;s book, a realization struck me. She discussed language learning, and it dawned on me that when we acquire a new skill\u2014like mastering a language\u2014we&#8217;re absorbing pure information, which has no tangible form or measurable presence in the physical realm. Yet, this information physically reshapes our brains, forming new neural pathways, shifting our perceptions, and ultimately altering how we engage with the world. The words and meanings, initially just abstract thoughts, evolve into powerful instruments that influence our physical surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly is information? Where does it originate, and where does it go when unobserved or unused? We transmit, digitally store, write, and speak information, but it is the information itself that catalyzes change. It acts as the unseen force that turns thoughts into structures and potential into actions.<\/p>\n<p>This idea transcends philosophy; it finds support in science in increasingly undeniable ways. Physicist John Wheeler\u2019s \u201cIt from Bit\u201d posits that physical reality arises from information processing at the fundamental level. Quantum mechanics suggests a similar relationship, where observation influences reality, hinting at a fundamental connection between information and consciousness that remains elusive. Moreover, DNA\u2014the ultimate informational code\u2014demonstrates that life is constructed from informational sequences, guiding the development of entire biological systems.<\/p>\n<p>A lingering question remains: does information require a physical medium, or does it exist independently, shaping reality from a deeper dimension? If information is primary, then what we perceive as \u201cmatter\u201d might merely be an emergent property\u2014an outcome of information interacting with consciousness. Could this perspective shed light on phenomena like quantum entanglement, where information appears to defy space and time? Or on telepathy, where thoughts seem to transition without any known physical mechanism?<\/p>\n<p>As I contemplate these ideas, it increasingly feels as though reality is not built from atoms, but rather from meaning and knowledge itself. Perhaps we&#8217;ve been approaching this the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>So, how does this tie into conversations about non-human intelligence (NHI), extraterrestrial life, and UFOs? If the claims made by whistleblowers hold any truth, we might be looking at beings who have grasped this very concept and can manipulate it. If we are to transcend time and space, it seems plausible that the answers lie in areas we have yet to fully investigate. Maybe what we dismiss as \u201cthe woo\u201d isn\u2019t so absurd after all, but rather, a realm we&#8217;ve been conditioned to overlook. With dedicated study, we may uncover that this is the very territory we should have been exploring.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is why it feels like disclosure is gradually unfolding. Maybe there&#8217;s a recognition that we&#8217;re at an impasse, and that we need to shift our global focus toward understanding these deeper layers of reality.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of where you stand in this debate, it\u2019s undeniably a fascinating time to be contemplating these matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nWhy I Believe Physical Matter Isn\u2019t Fundamental Over the past year, I&#8217;ve come to a significant realization: the physical reality we experience daily and often take for granted isn\u2019t fundamental at all.
