Answer: The Sandbox of WE!
There are 3 Realities of Me:
1. Conceptual
2. Perceptual
3. Physical
Only the Physical is Real.

only the physical is real because it can be interpreted and expressed by and through the physical universe?
what i was trying to express is the fact that we live as humans, in a tiny point of a large evolution.. and the modern rate of our evolution is blurring the edges of physical, conceptual, and perceptual...

It's actually the Conceptual and Perceptual Realities that are distorting the Physical Reality.

Your mYnd is the Physical Prism, the All Seeing eYe, and Logic guides the Light coming from IT, irregardless of the Input! Look at the Y and see the Light coming in from both angles (right/wrong) at the top and focused out of the bottom in One beam of Light. Did you notice how confused Neo was in the beginning but focused at the end?
Y?

ok i get how the conceptual and perceptual realities distort physical reality.., but the conceptual and perceptual( consciousness/awareness) is necessary to guide a physical being in this physical reality, the tools of perception it self perceives using methods of distortion.....
what im trying to get to is life on this earth is evolving, life struggled millions of years to create those mechanisms of perception, it was a prized achievement, much like modern mans tools, instruments, and technology is a crowning achievement, the present apex of evolutionary history... so is there any thing worth man becoming? seeking? is it foolish for him to escape his nature through science and progress? to cheat death? to evolve himself into a successor, made in his own image...
to become machine?

could whatever this is ( existence as human) , be "better" then other experiences of life ( later incarnations, life after death) better to the point where we would want to hold onto this reality for ever, create our own realities within this human perception, evolve with it and of it, travel the universe as man/evolved man, colonize space as immortal man. Or is that falling off gods path via temptation?

im not saying I do, But that is what seems to be the goal of the collective species.,
also this earth is a pretty cool place, can you imagine if we were less civilized,. how mysterious and epic every day of your life would be. the days of ancient man.

does that imply,,, when humans wake up they will take a time out and start planning a better future? i.e. end of days, end times...
or does that imply a mayan vibe,. the universe will wake us up..
or a butt ugly toad vibe, those 2 are the same thing?
