What a great post, from three years ago. This gets right at the heart of what allows everything to be possible. Peter Russel's video "The Primacy of Consciousness" touches on all these ideas, from Kuhn to the HPC to quantum consciousness and concludes that an alternative meta-paradigm will eventually surface stating consciousness/light is in fact the primary action of reality, which then allows forms to arise and grow and emerge with increasing complexity, until we get to the human brain (and perhaps other observers possibly more advanced in ways we can't imagine, though I think imagining here is the point ; ), able to self-reflect upon the whole thing.

Anyway, in the same sense that Newtonian physics plays a useful role at the macro scale, but breaks down at quantum levels, requiring a new paradigm to explain both, while still allowing us to use Newton's laws in every day life; just so does this idea now allow for explanations of all the bizarre paranormal phenomena described while still letting us live in a solid world.

Tremendous, the idea of ideas (of ideas...)
