Tony Brussat rated a book really liked it. Ethics by Baruch Spinoza. Philosophers Speak for Themselves: Biophilia by Edward O. The qualia in our mind can change our brain, which will change our body, which will, finally, change the outer landscape. There are two, basic things that we notice in every landscape: We notice landmarks and they lead us down pathways. Just as a certain buildings remind us of where to turn on a street, or certain songs reminds us of who we think we are, so in every aspect of our lives we notice landmarks and follow pathways.
That is about as simple as it gets. The problem is that often we have trouble noticing anything else. We cling to what we know. As long as our landmarks and pathways work for us, well, fine. When what works stops working you want to be ready to look around. That is when we need to look for new qualia, and when we need to practice our conscious ritualing. Qualia is what connects our senses to the landscapes around us. Qualia appears to us as color, sound, smell, taste, and texture.
But, while our senses tell us that a rose is red and has thorns, our thoughts tell us that a rose is beautiful, painful, and a symbol for love and suffering. Therefore, thoughts are qualia, too, for we sense them we have both outward and inward facing senses. Qualia connects our inner landscape with our outer landscape.
Tony Brussat (Author of Matter, Qualia, Mind and Cosmos)
Qualia, in short, consists of all that our senses tell us about the landscapes in which we live, as well as the thoughts we have about them. There are, essentially, only two things in the world: All matter forms itself around qualia, the way the freezing water molecules of a snowflake form themselves around a hexagon.

The hexagon helps the snowflake endure; qualia helps all matter endure. Atoms and molecules, plants and animals including humans , and even landscapes, ecosystems, cultures, and civilizations, endure because of the qualia around which they form themselves. The qualia we notice directs us to the material world, and to the things we need to survive, like food, shelter, and sex.
We are still, basically, animals, despite our amazing, human brains. Animals merely react to the qualia which appears to their senses, to the qualia in their landscapes which they have evolved to notice.
See a Problem?
Animals are hardwired to the landscape. The qualia we hold in our inner landscapes, in our minds, does not have to send us off chasing matter in the outer landscape. The qualia we choose to hold in our minds is our most valuable possession. When we refocus upon qualia, instead of matter, something changes in our brains, and in our bodies, and it pours forth from us, changing the outer landscape.
Is it not better to operate from the point of view that the material world forms itself around us, rather than succumb to the belief that we form ourselves around the material world? Unlike material possessions, qualia can be shared without diminishment. Indeed, sharing enhances qualia. We evolve with qualia, and qualia evolves with us, changing the landscape.
When we choose the qualia to which we shall pay attention, our inner landscape becomes like the hexagon in a snowflake, and what matter we do need will come to us.

My own Qualiadelic Journey became conscious when I was studying for a Master's in rhetoric and I started reading the anthropologist Victor Turner on ritual. My epiphany was the conscious use of ritual for personal and community transformation. That was in A few years later qualia came to me.
