What we say and how we say it exacts a profound influence over how we experience the world – including our perceptions of “objective” reality. Is there such a thing?

the observer effect 
We are accustomed to thinking that our senses represent reality. However, if space and time are but tools used by our animal minds to decode the world around us, then it would seem that reality, whatever it is, is out of our grasp. In Advaita Vedanta, there is a term, “neti neti,” which means “not this not this.” By negating all the things of the world, all that is left is the Self. Not all that scientific, but there is more than one path leading to the truth.
Indeed Consciousness comes first, and then our reality comes as we realize it to be.
We human beings as an observer create our reality.
We are individually and personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Our universe is a “mental” consciousness of our own making, because if we were not here, neither would be our reality of the world and everything in it, and because we would not be here to rationalize it as a universe in our mind because there would be no ‘mind’ to rationalize it.
Whoa, hold on Hoss, run that by me one more time, and pretend I’m only 8 years old………..(lol)
Consciousness creates reality is the point, no consciousness, no reality.
