  1. I tried the prompt "consciousness" in stable diffusion AI. I like how it struggles to spell the word
  2. I just woke up and now i'm awake. It's ~5 AM which is maybe a bit too early in the morning, but i've got more time to relax and drink a few cups of coffee before going to work.
  3. I like to read and hear from people who are less lucky than me. It helps me appreciate where i am and realize how much i whine for nothing.
  4. You said it! It's how i feel when i read questions like "if god is x then why does he/she y?" it just doesn't even make sense to ask the question in the first place.
  5. I think the fact that we can talk about it answers the witnessing part. If i didn't know that this experience is known, i wouldn't be able to speak about the fact that this is known. I feel like my brain just melts if i try to prove to you that the awareness is moving my body. Maybe i'm just stupid. I get this sense of a total mystery from the fact that this is known. That there are these things that call themselves "humans" moving around and "drinking" what they call "water" and "sitting" on what they call "chairs" and "watching" something they call "youtube". It's like a crazy dream. Who would've thought of something like this? Sorry for the nonsense and maybe some bad English. It isn't my main language. I just like to share these thoughts to see if someone else has been pondering similar nonsense.
  6. Do you mean like, there's the you who is thinking and acting and the subject is forced to watch you act and think what you think? That sounds normal. I mean, i can't do anything without it being noticed by the awareness or whatever it is that is knowing all that i'm doing. I've tested this with a kind of childishly naive mindset and told the awareness to fuck off, but i don't think it understands English nor cares about my words. It seems like it isn't moved by anything
  7. I've never taken his material or advice seriously, it's just that i find it entertaining to watch someone try to figure this out and see the reactions of people and all the madness that comes from it. I do see that this experience that is happening here is the only experience there is for me. In that sense, i'm #foreveralone in this. I can only see other people and animals from the outside. But at the same time i believe other people and animals are experiencing. Even an ant or a flea might be experiencing, why not?
  8. Namaste, people. I don't know if this guy's material has been posted on this forum before, but this guy is the guru of this apparent illusory dreamworld-dwelling non-existent self body-mind-organism, whose real self is consciousness or whatever.
  9. Oh, i don't think either my stupidity or selfishness is an issue which affects my ability to laugh at a guy's Youtube-videos.
  10. Well, it seems obvious that you shouldn't try to teach solipsism to "other people" if you are serious about it. It's like a funny/sad joke you can't tell anyone.
  11. Nowadays i think that words like "i" or "me" are just words or sounds that these organisms use to point to themselves. It can become very complicated and confusing when i start to question it by asking "what is me?" "what is i?" Well, it's this one sitting on this chair. This one calls itself "me". It's like we've defined what "i" or "me" means, and then we start to question what is "me", while failing to see we've already defined what it means. It's only the first person singular pronoun, like U.G. Krishnamurti said in some interview.
  12. Nonsense. You are both awake unless you're typing in your sleep.
  13. I like to think that when i die, the world dies with me. I won't know if anyone mourns me or not, and i won't care. It will be there for others. Only i won't know that, because i'll be dead. I also think that any kind of existence beats non existence. I've made no deals with anyone, existence is free of charge. It seems like non-existence has no upside, at least in existence, there's something going on. Even if it's shit. I've noticed something as simple as not remembering to eat and drink can cause all sorts of emotional turmoil.
  14. I think i get what you mean. "Who is aware of this sentence being on this screen?" No reply "Who is aware of my thinking?" No reply "Who am i showing my visual field to?" No reply "Who am i?" No reply Why is there evil? No reply It's almost like spiritism.
  15. I've noticed that i don't get any answer no matter what i ask. I think it would be really startling if the silence suddenly replied to my question ?
  16. Here it was like the one who is free is freely seeking for freedom until it isn't.
  17. "You are already awakened. There is no one to awaken." It's like one of those "Live, Laugh, Love"-posters people hang on their walls. So inspiring.
  18. I can't really say that i'm afraid of death, because i won't be there. But the dying process yes. I just hope it isn't a garbage compactor or a fall from a great height that kills me ?
  19. I've looked at lots of those stereograms, as a result i can make my eyes diverge/converge pretty easily. I just noticed i get several different results from the stereogram you posted depending on how much the eyes diverge/converge. If i diverge my eyes: One snowman or one skinny snowman with two snowmen standing at the back. If i converge my eyes i get a snowman shaped hole, if i converge them even more, i get several holes shaped like skinny snowmen. A cool trick i found out by playing with stereograms, is that you can actually use eye divergence to cheat at "spot the differences" -type of games like this: By converging your eyes enough to make the two pictures overlap with eachother so much that they create a single image, you can instantly see the differences "blinking". I recommend either zooming out your browser or viewing your screen from further away if you try this, makes it much easier. I also sometimes like to do this with things like two bathroom wall tiles. Any two almost identical objects placed next to eachother horizontally will create a single image when viewed like this. Sorry, i got carried away and slightly offtopic
  20. I know you didn't ask me, but i didn't even think of there being an "ego" or a "self" before i first heard or read about what Eckhart Tolle seemed to have experienced. And then i made the "self" a thing, something i can get rid of, or see through. Attempting to find the absence of something which isn't there. I also tried to find "nothing", because that sounded like a thing i can find too. Something for me, something i can share with people and people can see it emanating from my aura or whatever after i've found it. Hahahahaha
  21. When i was ~16 years old, this chubby girl told me i was too skinny, it hurt my feelings at the time but i said nothing because i had been told it's wrong to comment on peoples' appearance and i didn't want to make anyone cry. If it someone started to describe my appearance to me now, i would kindly return the favor by giving them a description of their appearance as well. I think i used to care too much.
  22. "Depersonalized bodything looking at itself in the mirror" sounds similar to what i saw. ? Maybe the mind apparently covers up the reality of an empty human monkey looking at itself in the mirror with "I'm Bob and i'm looking at myself"? I don't know if identification is here or it isn't. I can't really pinpoint anything and say "this is identification".
