Bernardo is pretty brilliant, and I’ve never heard anyone describe this tidbit from PS so clearly before: Yes, there ARE self-reinforcing, self-propagating, self-refreshed (as in a computer system memory state) autonomous systems in Mind that produce the effect that we call ‘matter’. It is just ONE of a near-infinite set of properties and property set interactions within POTENTIALITY (BC might call this ‘mind at large’). It’s nothing all that special. But Bernardo’s distinction that ‘nuts and bolts craft, or ‘moons’ or anything else ‘made of matter’ are not just a temporary ’emanation’ of mind is spot on.
In short, the ‘dream of physicality’ is just one particular type of dream.
It has a ‘system clock’ to keep it active independent of ‘the clouds of little minds’ that produce transient effects.
That’s the only real difference between ‘mind and matter’.
