What you're seeing is the inner workings of the holographic universe we inhabit. Your brain interprets the signal as static.

/Obviously I'm not serious....

    But you're right.

    Only the hologram is produced by the nervous system. Not God's super computer or whatever.

    I mean, I guess that's true in a peculirar sort of way in which nothing really exists outside of our perception of it.

    What I mean by that is that whatever we see, hear, taste, etc... is merely neurons firing in our brain, processing a signal that it receives. So if we're looking at a tree for example; that tree is just light/energy waves vibrating on a specific frequency. It's only when it hits our optic nerve and travels to our brain that it's translating into something that we call a "tree".

    So when the eyes are closed, the random interference pattern could indeed be interpreted as you say. Goog catch. Kind of makes you wonder.

    Yeah there's a term for it in Hinduism, Maya.

    I've also spent a lot of time and study with Buddhism. Explored a lot of mind altering drugs.

    Perception is a map of the territory influenced by karma (evolution and personal experience) In constant feedback with the territory, of course.

    But the map edits itself out. Because when a tiger appears on the map we need to run, not debate rather or not there's really a tiger.
