Kalapas and Consciousness: What is Reality?

The aggregates clung to are not what they seem.
According to Buddhist physics, as detailed in the Abhidharma or "Ultimate Doctrine," the fundamental reality of matter or materiality is the kalapa, the particle of perception. It is much smaller than an atom but can be directly perceived by meditative training in serenity and insight.

Such knowledge-and-vision is made possible by the purifying meditative absorptions (jhanas). Our human potential is to be able to discern these things, but we are far from utilizing our innate abilities.

We can purify the mind, heart, seat of consciousness to directly know reality and thereby become enlightened by the truth. The truth would set us free if we knew what we were seeing and seeing it directly. When we just hear about it, we should not expect enlightenment. The world is not merely material but also mental. The fundamental elements of mind or mentality is the citta or mind-moment, which is not a thing but a process, accompanied by concomitants (cetasikas).

The historical Buddha's fundamental teachings on awakening (enlightenment) were all about dispelling ignorance and realizing the ultimate truth here and now -- seeing the Five Aggregates clung to as self or mind-and-body -- to be able to let go and be free. Science will not likely free us, just get us into more trouble, but since science is all we have from the West, let's dive in and hear what it has to say.

Official film: What is Reality?

What if the very fabric of space and time isn't made of one-dimensional strings or energy as we think of it, but is instead simply a code or a language made from a geometric projection?

Quantum Gravity Research (QGR) is a Los Angeles-based team of mathematicians and physicists working on developing a theoretical framework for a first-principles unified quantum gravity theory they call emergence theory.

Still in the early stage of development, emergence theory attempts to unify, through mathematical and scientific rigor, the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and consciousness.

This film is presented in layperson terms and explains basics tenets of emergence theory, quantum mechanics, and digital physics in ways that are meant to be communicative and fun.

However, if you'd like to read any of the scientific and more technical papers, please visit the website.
