Did you know that the brain uses the same mathematical equation to decipher its sensory information about the world around us, as is used to create a hologram?
Gives you something to think about hmm?
In THIS interview with metaphysic philosopher, Michael Talbot explains the theory that our world & surroundings are mainly a projection of our mind. The best part is that, I think, he makes quite a substantial arguement, such as the FACT above, considering the subject at hand.
I believe this theory at least to a certain extent. While I find its entirety a little un-nerving the same equation use, and the fact that different peoples' 'realities' can change according to their perception, even when referring to the same event.
EX: Urban Myth I find quite believable. A university professer started off the semester by having having someone run into the class room and steal her purse. She then asked the students what colour hat the perp. was wearing. She gave three colour options, but only a low percentage, I believe something like 30% gave the correct answer. They had not been wearing a hat at all.
This leads to a massive amount of other questions, what difference would it make to life, or to our perception of life if this were true? How would it relate to our spirituality?

Very interesting. See, this is the EXACT thing you wanna get into a heated debate with Matt on. Haha, and don't forget to add spirituality when talking to him.
But it does raise lots of questions about our perception of the world, and what "reality" is. Scientifically, all of our senses are based on electrical impulses. I remember in the brief moment I actually attended a Philosophy lecture, for 90 minutes the group was stuck on the argument of what is true, and what is real. I think Morpheus from "The Matrix" said it best.
"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."
