Zone1 The physical world is made manifest by mind

[ding]

Apart from its linkage to consciousness, the physical world is entirely abstract and without ‘actuality.' Therefore, the physical world is made manifest by mind. So why can't mind be the source or matrix of the physical world?

The physical world is made manifest by mind​

There is a very old eastern saying exemplified in Dr. Richard Albert's book 'Be Here Now.' It went:

NO MIND
NEVER MATTER
NO MATTER
NEVER MIND.

The fact of the matter is that our only connection to the physical universe is our minds. Take away the mind (unconsciousness, etc.) and there is no physical universe.
Further, consciousness creates the physical universe. The universe is different for each of us. To every living thing on the planet, the world is a different place with each of us at its center.

In 1928 Arthur Eddington wrote, “the stuff of the world is mind‑stuff ... The mind‑stuff is not spread in space and time..... Recognizing that the physical world is entirely abstract and without ‘actuality’ apart from its linkage to consciousness, we restore consciousness to the fundamental position . . .”
