Consciousness was firmly embedded in the fabric of space and time, a material part of its vibrational energy. Consciousness, or mind, was not split off from matter, hovering outside it.... Instead, consciousness was within matter, of matter. It was matter looking at itself and being astonished. It was the point seeing the wave, or the wave seeing the point. Consciousness was quantum electrodynamism. Time turned back upon itself. Time splintering. Time strutting loose among the energy levels, only slightly stilled, slightly caught, in that glance called consciousness, the observer, the energy that made it into this and not-this, live cat and dead cat.

A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)
