Matter is anything that is perceived. We call it matter in perception. We know it as only the knowable. Measurable or not is arguable. But perceivable or not is acceptable. So matter is a content of our knowing of it.
The source of matter can be reduced to atoms or an energy field and that in turn can be reduced to the knowing of it, somehow. Even dream is a matter of knowing. So matter is simply a matter of knowing and it simply doesnt matter if matter has any matter that is measurable. All matters are of the same content, and such a content is in the knowing of it. So even hard matter boils down to basic nature of atom called protons and neutrons and electrons and this are just bundles of energy spinning this way and that way and that also is a mental construct to some sort of knowing.
Mind is something that apparently perceives matter just to objectify it. Mind is the space of also of memory as data, or feeling or experiences as concepts. Its essence is to give reality to an illusion. The functioning of mind is to perceive and objectify creation as an objective world to a subjective 'me'. It creates the world of objects and also a 'me'. So matter is an objectification in thought. The world is a bundle of matter or a bundle of thoughts. There are no thoughts separate from the mind and no world separate from perception. World is a perception and mind converts it to reality as in 'matter'.
What is mind in relation to matter? Where does mind fit into matter? Does matter have mind or does mind have matter?.
All ‘matter’ can be boiled down to its elements and fitted into a concept called ‘chemicals’ or Bhor’s atomic chart. This will take care of its molecular structure and further combinations. It will take care of its properties as well. Its energy etc. All scientific theories and all science can be included in this concept that matter is chemical in nature.Even the physical is an appearance of chemical.
Mind perceives matter. So mind is the preceptor of matter. Mind is the context in which matter is the content. All matter make the world or universe. There is no universe other than matter. Now the mind perceives the world / universe. The world is the content of perception. whatever the mind perceives is its contents. The contents of the kitchen, or bedroom is what makes the context. It is like as if – the sofa, TV, carpet, show pieces etc. are contents for a hall and the appearances of these contents is what makes the room into a hall. The same room will be a bedroom by only changing the contents. So the contents make up the context or the context contain the contents. The context has no meaning or existence without the contents and has to necessarily includes the content.
So the world/ universe or energy or matter ( form and formless) which is the content of mind makes mind its context which therefore includes the world. So the world belongs to the mind.
Now, the source of mind is consciousness. The knowing of all perception is an intelligence of consciousness. Unfortunately, contents seem to have its limitations and the mind must be limitless in order to accommodate limitations. Limitations of mind to make contents as objects in nature could be assumed to be memory, knowledge, imagination, conditioning, emotions feelings etc. However these also would have to be content to the knowing, or Mind.
Aliveness is the quality of Mind. To be alive is to be capable to perceive. The perception is the perceiving of it and the perceiving is aliveness as Mind. So aliveness is a perceivable absence that has the capacity to perceive matter. The absence perceives presence, by Being it. Matter thus includes all that is in creation or nature, being some sort of forms and formless knowing. There would be trees and buffalos as forms and thought and emotions and feelings as formless but eventually all forms are born out of the formless aliveness that is present and known as an absence. Very strange. Such aliveness is what we are in our true nature, even though it shapes itself like an individual body, or limited in space and time. Hence bodies are illusory, as knowing is all there is.
Finally, since all perceptions are of the mind, the physical objective universe is a mental construct.
Also - nothing ever happened other than as mind made 'facts'. It is a great Joke.
