In Motion

An example of an eddy?

An eddy keeps an idea brewing until its message becomes simple enough to spread out into the world. An eddy doesn’t have clarity or orientation, it is a cluster of muddled directions and thoughts which find each other instinctively without even knowing why. memories aren’t real, and a conversation ceases to exist the moment its last sound stopped reverberating.

Eddies are pools of potential, a few yield greatness, most don’t. Ideas and trends get tested inside them, the coherent ones get fueled and reinforced by their random inputs and the inconsistent ones get destroyed.

You want an example where reality challenges its own laws?

What is matter made of?

There are many things we know without a doubt that we can’t quantify and demonstrate, and yet we all accept them as true and have a common frame of reference for them so every person understands them the same way. Things like love, enjoyment, and insight require no explanation, even though they have no substance; they populate the space between us; they animate our lives in ways that our senses can’t detect and our reason can’t explain.

Does that make them not real?

I would go even further to say that there may be material things out there that our limited senses can not measure, and which hide from our perception. Those too would not be real in this context.

If we accept that the mental constructs of our minds are also real, then why would a thought be more valid than a dream? Why would knowing something be real and believing something not real?

If you think it, it is real. It is a thought inside your head. A thought is real. Whether it will, or can manifest in the world of matter is just a matter of time, probability and degree. And if it does, keep in mind we don’t really know what matter was made of in the first place.
