This galaxy, located in the constellation Pegasus, is 4 billion light years from Earth. UCLA, Department of Physics and Astronomy: T. Glassman & J. Larkin.The release comes when we no longer think of the mind as isolated within the frame of our body, when we recognise it extends into the world; when the distinction between ourselves and the world is overcome, and the experiences we have of the 'out there' do actually occur 'out there', as well as 'in here'.
Then it is less hard to see how our minds, our imaginations, reach out into deepest space to 'create' distant galaxies, as we find some means of conceiving them using the 'extended senses' of space probes and telescopes. Such galactic entities literally 'come into being' as they are discovered, being oblivious prior to that point.
We still need to imagine them, reconstruct them in our own minds from the blurry data our astronomical devices send back. They remain objects that are sensed and conceived like any other, no matter how old or distant. But in being imagined they become our minds. The known universe is the extent of the mind.
