quantum phenomena exist only in potentia until the decision is made by conscious choice as to how they are to be perceived, even if this choice is made retroactively. events do not happen, they are just there, and we come across them. all time is present now. it is we alone who have defined cause. there is a domain beyond space-time. the world is an illusion. maya. there are transcendent realms consciousness travels after death.
