‎"Consciousness is not a product of the brain, but a primary principle of existence and it plays a critical role in the creation of the phenomenal world. The psyche of each of us is essentially commensurate with all of existence and ultimately identical with the cosmic creative principle itself. The material universe is a virtual reality created by absolute consciousness through an infinitely complex orchestration of experiences; as a virtual reality, akin to a kind of cosmic movie or theater, the universe is a cosmic game that we should delight in playing."

Stanislav Grof
