ive always wondered along the lines of (and to again quote the matrix...lol) "do not try to bend the spoon, that's impossible, instead realize the truth, there is no spoon...… or the Zen saying, 'before you study Zen, a bowl is a bowl, while you study Zen a bowl is no longer a bowl, after you study Zen a bowl is once again a bowl"....the matrix quote could fit the real world just the same as the virtual world in the since that if everything is composed of just atoms, then there is no spoon, just atoms, everything is connected, every thing is the same. so the trick is to influence the world on an atomic level.... if one atom can influence another a foot away, then it should be easy, right....lol.... ive got to quit thinking.
