“Many structures in the brain are capable of forms of development that would make science and religion both look stupid. Since your species no longer engages in the activities that develop these assets, they remain ignorant of them, and call the stories that resulted from their common activation amongst your ancestors ‘superstitions’.

They are nothing like this idea.

What your neurologists call ‘mirror neurons’ have nothing to do with mirrors, except in their most primitive developmental state. Beyond that, these, and other assets in the brain and nervous system, comprise a launch pad for transentience. What is transentience? It is more than science, and makes metaphysics look like cognitive drool emanating from a dying idiot’s dream. It is a form of mind-sharing that is non-local in timespace. This means that you can -assemble minds-. Not just individual minds, but whole symmetries of them.

The intelligence of plants, animals and ecosystems is its basis. The mind of an intelligent hominid is its launchpad. It’s body? More than all of time and space. Believe me when I tell you — you want some of that.”
