As long as we can avoid establishing any clarity with respect to the terms we use (e.g. “the greater reality”) we will be able to expand in every possible direction ad infinitum.

What was it the man said? "What is truth?". smile

If everything is strictly relative to personal idealism, then science will always be relative.

Would a greater reality exist above and beyond relative belief systems?

Or is that just a belief?

Do you think a cat has beliefs that are relative to the human in its association to the world around itself? Thoughts like I'm a cat and the biped that feeds me and collects my poop is a human?

Maybe cats are atheists... cool
