Biocentrism

 If you haven't read up on biocentrism, I recommend at least reading the Wikipedia article for an interesting theory about the nature of reality.  

Robert Lanza, the scientist who proposed this theory in 2007, has a book of the same title, which I've just started reading.  He also recently penned an article on The Huffington Post which gives a brief overview of the theory.

Another book that is somewhat related is "Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness", which I read not too long ago and highly recommend.

A nondualistic poem

 I was sorting through my old data today and happened to come across one of my favorite poems.  Being a nondualist, it really resonates with me.

Illusion

God and I in space alone
And nobody else in view.
'And where are the people, O Lord,' I said,
'The earth below and the sky O'erhead,
And the dead whom once I knew?'

'That was a dream,' God smiled and said,
'A dream that seemed to be true.
There were no people living or dead,
There was no earth, and no sky O'erhead:
There was only myself--in you.'

'Why do I feel no fear,' I asked,
'Meeting you here this way,
For I have sinned I know full well,
And is there heaven, and is there hell,
And is this the judgement day?'

'Nay those were but dreams,' the great God said,
'Dreams, that have ceased to be.
There are no such things as fear or sin,
There is no you--you never have been--
There is nothing at all but me.'

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox
