I just wandered what you guys thought about this article.

Awareness as the starting point agrees with the model in quantum theory which states that everything in our physical reality does not arise until it is perceived by an outside observer. It has always been a question for me whether our self/egos are only an illusion projected by the mind to better understand our awareness. In other words it just makes it easier for our limited minds to understand how to perceive and ego is not what actually defines us. Not that this quantum model is even close to the accepted model, but this was just interesting.
It seems to me from this starting point that everything is subjective to our perception and awareness including the ego itself.
