Consciousness and the telescope

- What do we see through the telescope?

- A very distant past. What's more, we see a very distorted past. Change the angle of observation and you see things differently. It's influenced by the fact that we see what the light transmits to us. And light, as you know, has a finite speed of propagation. And even more, we have to take into account a huge number of distortions, among which are the angle of inclination, speed of motion, trajectory of motion, distance to the star, convolution and deployment of space, curvature of space, variability of the speed of light transmission, and so on.

And also take into account the change in position of stars that are farther away from those stars that are closer to us: they have already moved to the large from a distance. Therefore, you are seeing something that is not and never was in reality. In essence, you're seeing your own distorted reality.

And you also have to consider thought. The universe, as you call it, cannot be seen, but can be thought. Everything, then, is bounded by limitation or limit or freedom of perception. You are trying to increase your limit of perception by technical means, and that is a road to nowhere. You're going to wonder if what we're seeing is true. At this level of development, there's no answer to that question. Put a million glasses on your eyes, you will see nothing but a more distorted reality.

Raise the perceptual limits of your being and the universe will open up to you in all its splendor. You see what you are able to think about, what you are able to realize. Everything else is dark matter to you. Only one thing follows from this: only consciousness can reach the stars.

- Then, is there any point in observing the universe through a telescope?

- I can't see. Do you? Again, through a telescope we see a very distorted reflection of reality. Reality cannot be discovered with a telescope or a microscope. You can't fly far on a beam of light. There are faster ways of information transfer in the Universe. Everything depends on the levels of perception of reality, i.e. on the development of the observer as a being.
