Yes, it is.

It's a theory that checks the arrogance of those who would otherwise think they have a mortgage on Truth and a probable indication of a psychiatric disorder for those who will not be checked by it.

This is the only and I mean 'only' example where there is a connection between Human consciousness and the Universe as a Consciousness.
It would be interesting to see the remarks about this and btw - where have you gone Mothra?
Maybe this is where/why the concept of the Universe consciousness truly manifested itself?
Watch this. The Brain/Universe connection

It's quite a mouthful for a theory. Your own?

It was nothing new, of course. Only new to Goff and modern undergraduates like mother frightened.

I don't think either of us would argue that it's even remotely new, fruitbat. Although i am unworthy of speaking for him, i think it's safe bet.

There's absolutely no way though that i would have expected you to work that out. Or understand it now it's been pointed out to you.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

And you are not speaking from an innate instinct of the human psyche.

You are completely outside and above the "personal psychic sensibilities to tribal/clan lore to cults to schisms to sects, the religious instinct is continually arising and evolving", whatever the hell that load of bs is groping, in vain, to convey.
