Reality is a function of state of mind
By Jon Rappoport
Reality is not an illusion. Reality is quite real when state of mind is factored in. If someone lived inside a dream all the time, the space and things and events of the dream would be quite real. However, if he exited the dream, reality would change radically.

As state of mind varies, reality appears differently.
Reality is not an illusion. Reality is quite real when state of mind is factored in.
If someone lived inside a dream all the time, the space and things and events of the dream would be quite real. However, if he exited the dream, reality would change radically.
Of course, there is the physical reality we all share. It is not enough to say each one of us perceives that reality in a slightly different way. For example, I said this in 2015:
About 12 years ago, I extensively interviewed Dean Radin, the author of a scientific classic, The Conscious Universe.
The interview confirmed and expanded on Radin's published findings. Here is the most accurate statement I can make about those findings:
Studying the entire history of paranormal lab experiments; selecting from that published literature all well-formed and properly conducted studies; Radin discovered that the overall statistical evidence was clear: paranormal ability was demonstrated beyond the factor of chance or the rules of probability.
Many of these studies tested psychokinesis, the ability to influence matter with mind alone. In such studies, this ability exceeded chance or statistical probability as well.
Radin didn't stop there. Having done the exhaustive research, and having published his findings, he reviewed the major criticisms leveled at him by other scientists, and he responded to their detailed analysis with convincing analysis of his own.
In a half-sane world, Radin's book, The Conscious Universe, would have caused a widespread revolution.
That it didn't merely testifies to the hidebound preconceptions of scientific establishments and media outlets.
But the book did cause a stir with the public, and it most certainly registered with researchers who could keep an open attitude long enough to study Radin's detailed work.
Here is one type of study that has been performed many times. Volunteers are placed before a case in which there are numerous holes and pegs. From the top, small balls are dropped downward. The volunteer is asked to try to mentally influence the paths of the balls, so more of them end up in holes to the left of center or right of center.
The case is built so that, normally, half the balls would come to rest in holes to the left of center, and half to the right.
Analyzing the entire range of such published studies, Radin concluded that random chance, probability, statistical expectation had been exceeded.
Overall, the efforts of the volunteers to influence matter with their minds had succeeded.
To put it broadly, the limits of reality are not what most people think they are. They extend beyond common consensus on what is possible.
The limits on us are not what most people think they are.
In his groundbreaking and shattering work, Radin met the challenge that many researchers sling at paranormal events: "If the events exist at all, they're not repeatable, so they mean nothing."
Radin's method, the meta-analysis of many, many well-performed studies, showed that repeatability was, in fact, present.
What "Matrix-propagandists" never acknowledge -- because it would topple and destroy the very foundation of their enterprise -- is the capacity to direct non-material thought and, thereby, affect material events. Under no circumstances will these "ordinary-reality" defenders ever admit that this capacity exists.
Jon Rappoport has worked as a free-lance investigative reporter for over 30 years. He has written articles on politics, health, media, culture and art for LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, Village Voice, Nexus, CBS Healthwatch, and other newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe.
In 1982, the LA Weekly submitted his name for a Pulitzer prize, for his interview with the president of El Salvador University, where the military had taken over the campus.
Jon has hosted, produced, and written radio programs and segments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas (KPFK, KLAV). He has appeared as a guest on over 200 radio and television programs, including ABC's Nightline, Tony Brown's Journal (PBS), and Hard Copy.
In 1994, Jon ran for a seat in the US Congress from the 29th district in Los Angeles. After six months of campaigning, on a very small budget, he garnered 20 percent of the vote running against an incumbent who had occupied his seat for 20 years.
In 1996, Jon started The Great Boycott, against eight corporate chemical giants: Monsanto, Dow, Du Pont, Bayer, Hoechst, Rhone-Poulenc, Imperial Chemical Industries, and Ciba-Geigy. The Boycott continues to operate today.
Jon has lectured extensively all over the US on the question: Who runs the world and what can we do about it?
For the last ten years, Jon has operated largely away from the mainstream because, as he puts it, "My research was not friendly to the conventional media."
Over the last 30 years, Jon's independent research has encompassed such areas as: deep politics, conspiracies, alternative health, the potential of the human imagination, mind control, the medical cartel, symbology, and solutions to the takeover of the planet by hidden elites.
A painter, Jon's work has been shown in galleries in Los Angeles and New York. His poetry has been published by The Massachusetts Review.
He is a graduate of Amherst College (BA, Philosophy), and lives with his wife, Dr. Laura Thompson, in San Diego.
