Possibly, Dorothy.

Okay, Amos, I shall expand the definition of "physical" as you wish, to include energy waveforms as well as matter. (though matter may itself be an energy waveform that is at quite a low oscillating vibrational state)

Now what about consciousness? It is the nature of consciousness that really concerns me here. What would you say about that? Does consciousness mysteriously arise out of physical phenomena somehow (as materialists and reductionists would seem to see it)...and if so, how? Or is it the other way around and physicality arises out of consciousness? What do you think?
