I've had countless anomalous/paranormal experiences in my life. Some even highly "spiritual", but I've come to doubt that those experiences were based in an external reality. The human mind, especially the temporal lobe, is a wondrous thing ...

somewhere in there.....
The Subconscious Mind The subconscious mind takes up the remaining 88% of our brain's capacity, and could be compared to a massive computer system that stores all of the information regarding our location, situation, feelings etc. It controls our Autonomic Nervous System such as our heart beat, breathing, organs and glands - in other words all of the things we do not have to think about. The subconscious mind has no reasoning power, and cannot reject anything that it is told. The subconscious mind has a perfect memory. In fact if you were to merely glance at the face of a passer by in a crowd, your subconscious mind would be able to recall every detail regarding that person such as his clothes, facial lines or wrinkles, everything that you saw. You may have to do some searching to find this information, but be assured that it would be there, even years later. Many Police Forces now use hypnotism to bring these memories to the forefront of a witness's mind. As mentioned earlier, the conscious mind constantly refers to it's counterpart for information. When a person is writing a word on a piece of paper, the subconscious mind will attempt to locate the correct spelling and then pass that information to the conscious mind so that it can instruct the muscles in the hand to act accordingly. If a child constantly misspells a certain word, it is likely that, as the child grows older, the incorrect spelling will always be used. This is because the subconscious mind has recorded the incorrectly spelt word and has no way of knowing that it has been misinformed. In effect, the subconscious mind is like a computer program that runs our body for us. It never sleeps and will continue to runs it's program, such as digesting food, maintaining the body, healing cuts and bruises etc. Whilst in a trance state, the subconscious mind will accept any suggestion it receives without question. It must be remembered however that is a suggestion is not conducive with the moral code of the subconscious, or if it is perceived as a threat, then there is a likelihood that the conscious mind will reawaken to analyse the situation accordingly.

"All matter exerts A gravitational effect on another, correct? "
if the subconscious mind can be explained as an aspect of the material brain,, why the need to make it appear as anything else? what would the meaning be if it was immaterial? what would that matter and what would it entail?
why all the desiree to be "more"(?) or something other then exactly what we are?
I would look up some videos on gravity,,, because I do not think the gravitational effect on all matter to all other matter is as significant as the massive gravitational effect of massive celestial bodies,.,,
for example if i threw a rock, and marble, and shoe at you ( all material objects) they would not begin to orbit you...

"This is why I think thoughts and actions matter so much because they are expressive in matters that effects another. Does that make sense? "
of course thoughts and actions matter so much,,,, because thats all we are....
we use thought to act, and act to further thought... through this repeating cycle, since the earliest humans,, we have turned wild animalistic nature into everything that exists in the world and everything humans do and can do.,,.,.

also humans using their mind and thought seem to have the most freewill to move and think as they feel in regards to anything else ive ever seen,.., besides other animals,., but compared to other animals we are a world of our own,,edit on 27-8-2012 by ImaFungi because: (no reason given)

ok,, you said a lot,, and i dont know what i think of it all,.,.,,. but all i can say is there is not much need of you to worry about the greater universe and what lies beyond.,.,., it is fun to think about,, but that universe does not need you to think about it, and therefore you dont need to think about it,,, but you can if you want.,,.,.
what im trying to say is the most important thing in the universe, is yourself,, ( to you, that is true).,. without it you can not do any thinking about the universe,, or sit or stand or walk or talk,,.,. your life is what needs the most immediate attention and it is what the universe wants to show you,, it gave you and all things the opportunity to exist as you are, so that you can experience yourself in the universe,,. I hate to see you launch all these theories and confuse yourself and others about just about everything,, when really what does it mean> your still gonna have to wake up, and eat, and sleep, and experience yourself on this earth,,, so to me,,, enjoying that is most important,,, or all thats important,,.,.basically,, dont make yourself crazy desireing these ideas of auras and these fanciful concepts, because,, things are the way they are,, and you thinking about them will not change the way you and things are,.,.,. also you can make up in your mind and believe just about anything, so how do you know the things and ways you are thinking of things are true..,,. sorry for being a buzzkill.,.,

Since the universe is constantly expanding, it is not finite. The number of lightyears that you posted, as the current age of the universe, is not a fixed constant.
