Graham:If ny the pretty idea commenty you mean the notion that matter and space time are derived from the intentionality of something we refer to as spiritual, I would suggest that the fact that you can and do post as you do is pretty strong evidence. Ain't no structure can argue itself out of existence! :>) It seems that the most common event of the spirit -- for example receiving a communication accurately, or understanding something --is highly underestimated as to its qualitative difference from all the serial relays, stimulus response interactions, and so on, which might also be involved.
But I am simply describing one cosmology, an alternative to the "more and more complex arrangements of inanimate objects become mysteriously conscious" school of thought which strikes me as ridiculously disingenuous.
