So true.

alex,

That, of course, can be most tangential to what you or I were orginially speaking about.

I'm as interested in chaos and quantum theory as I am consciousness. I see the intersection of the them as where science meets spirituality. Not religion, but spirituality. If you're still around, I'd love to hear your thoughts? <strong>Laser,</strong> Truthfully, it's all just names. I've just gotten tired of hearing people talk about getting out of their box, only to see them never really grow. Getting 'out of the box' isn't just about thought or belief - it's also about action. And while thoughts lead to action, action often displays our true thoughts. <strong>Dallas,</strong> How do you do that? Armannd,

I like the way you think different staying in the same box. Thanks Dawud Miracle you have explained the term “live out of your box” so beautifully and so differently.

But why replace "beyond our perception" with "outside of the box"? To me, that seems to be a rather silly and confusing idea... giving a new (pet) name to a concept that already has one. Simple is better, less names are better. Even so, the existence of our limiting perceptions exists only relative to everything else, and so limiting perceptions don't exist as such - so the "box" doesn't exist either. There are some people who managed to get out of their "boxes" completely. They can be found in psychiatric hospitals, insane asylums and similar locations... Not all insane people are "out of the box," but there are some who are. Yet they can't fly, walk through walls, or do any "incredible" thing... PS: I'm very tired at this moment, sorry if this doesn't make too much sense. PPS: Matter is nothing but the Wave Motion of Space. A Particle is a pointlike effect at the Wave Center. So from a quantum perspective, matter is all empty space - not just mostly. I agree with you! But why replace “beyond our perception” with “outside of the box”?

Yet the box I'm speaking of has to do with your own, internal, limiting perceptions. Now, I don't know you...we've never met. Yet I would assume that you're bound by the same beliefs as most of us...you can't pass through walls, levitate, nor bend your bones like they're rubber, for instance. Yet, the reason we can't do these things, according to some spiritualist and quantum physicists is merely because we don't believe we can. In other words, we're limited in our perception. But from a quantum perspective, matter is mostly empty space. If this is true, why can't we pass through 'solid' objects? Because of perception, right? And it's the boxes of perception that I'm speaking about. Not just about 'extraordinary' feats like passing through matter, but much bigger and more complex. Our perceptions and beliefs limit us constantly in what we're capable of. That's why I say we can never escape the boxes. I have a feeling we're saying something similar. My approach is just that we can't move beyond our perceptions. And I'd love to hear more of what you think. Armannd,

Because there is no box... The moment one is regarded by the society as "thinking outside of the box" is the moment in which one starts to THINK (without any boxes attached to it). The whole "box" concept is a nothing but completely wrong view of a basic problem. Also, I am almost certain that most people have forgotten (if they knew in the first place) the origins of "the box." Nice article by the way. Wrong and with a rather useless message (from my point of view)), but nicely written. Regards Want to know why no one ever gets out of the box?

I think you nail it. It seems everyone is trying to be different. But different from what? Personally, I'd rather be me...really truly be myself. Unfold my own inner truth and live it. Then it doesn't matter whether I'm different or not. Nor do the boxes matter, because I'm being authentic to myself. That's what I find important - far more important than being unique. I'm only unique if I am truly myself. Adam,
