Not close enough. They are technical terms for two diametrically opposed theories of the AllThatIs. The Meatball theory claims that 'what is' consists of an external 4 or more dimensional space/time continuum of matter, energy space and time, and that consciousness arose from combinations of MEST in the complexities of the brain. A 'machine' is defined as any system of parts interacting with each other via cause and affect across this space time continuum. These parts are made of matter and energy, and they have causal inflences over each other. In this model, consciousness and conscious units (the being) result from parts in relation, a manifestation of the brain machine, and once the brain is busted apart, the relations between the parts are destroyed and thus the machine is no longer functional, and thus the consciousness is also no longer functional. In the meatball model of existence OT powers are highly unlikely. and since the conscious unit IS the brain in operation, things like exteriorization and life after death are meaningless and delusory. The dreamball theory holds the opposite view, namely that the AllThatIs consists of a zero dimensional super system of conscious units that are connected together inwardly via 'Source', and whose native state is sleep. Periodically they as groups wake up into conscious dreams of matter energy space and time, of their own choosing and approval. In this model MEST is a hologram of conscious color forms in the underlying fundamental structure of the conscious units themselves. Although a conscious unit (CU) can come to believe it IS a body, and that the body is actual beyond its own perception of the body, and that the meatball theory of existence is the correct one, this is in fact a self chosen delusion called 'apparencies are reality' at 26.0 on the Filbert tone scale. Thus we have actuality = what is, reality = what we think is. In the dreamball model, the external world is considered to be a dream co shared by all the dreamers engaging in that particular holodeck. Since the world is merely a projection in their own consciousness, and since each CU has its own projection, albeit in sync with others, and since each CU is actually projecting its own version of the hologram, not only for itself but for everyone sharing, OT powers become immediately available as the dream universe is being created via direct OT powers in the first place. If you can make the mountain and put it there, surely you can cast it sideways etc. It's a long ways from the CU as Creator to the CU as Creature however.
