The philosopher Karl Popper has constructed a three level model of reality to include mind and its effects (Popper, K. and Eccles, J. The Self and its Brain. Springer: Berlin, 1977).

He proposes that the physical universe, which consists of beds and bodies and other obvious entities, exists in World One. World Two houses the mind in all its possible conscious and unconscious states. And in World Three are the contents of thought, all the product of the mind, including myths, legends and theories, true or false. Many of the objects of World Three can obviously exist in material form as books or paintings in World One, but Popper is also suggesting that they have an independent reality.

Perhaps the best example is language, which can exist in a coded form in a World One materialization, or in electrical form in someone's brain as a World Two phenomenon. But it also exists in abstract, as something in its own right, in World Three. A man is World One, his mind is World Two, but his name can go indefinitely in World Three long after the dissolution of the first two modes. It can even become a movement, a source of further activity and materialization in other men. Affecting reality in this way, it cannot be denied its own reality.

Richard Dawkins has coined the term 'meme' to describe such a World Three object, a unit of cultural transmission (The Selfish Gene, Oxford, 1976).

Words, catch phrases, fashions, scientific theories and ideas for making new and better mousetraps are all memes. And, as Dawkins points out, they are exactly like non-physical genes, abstract DNA. Instead of leaping from baby to baby, they go from brain to brain, replicating by imitation. Once an idea catches on, it even begins to propagate itself almost without the help of Worlds One and Two. Memes are alive.

Nick Humphrey says, "Memes should be regarded as living structures, not just metaphorically but technically. When you plant a fertile meme in my mind you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the meme's propagation in just the way that a virus may parasitize the genetic mechanism of a host cell. And this isn't just a way of talking - the meme for, say 'belief in life after death' is actually realized physically, millions of times over, as a structure in the nervous systems of individual men the world over." (The Selfish Gene, Oxford, 1976)

This is I think what Jung meant by 'confirming the Creator'. God Exists, if only in the form of an idea with high survival value, or the power to propagate itself, in the environment provided by our culture and our needs. Plato may or may not have one of his genes circulating in the gene pool today, but many of his memes still exist, kept alive by replication in a succession of gene machines. Ideas have a reality and an evolutionary momentum of their own.

If you're gonna post in this thread, can you only post actual memes? Not text.
