Someone here

@tsuki sorry I don't understand your answer. Could you please put it in a different way?

Bump.. So how do I distinguish illusion from reality? Like for example how do I distinguish between dreams and reality? How do I know that I'm not dreaming right now?

Wherever you go, there you are! Thinking about where you were or where you are going all takes place in your head. The concept of time is very useful for making plans, but an unfortunate and untimely laws of physics would put those plans into a different perspective. Folks travel in time not frequently nowadays.

What if pain is as good as pleasure? What if discomfort is as good as comfort? What if failure is as good as success? What if death is as good as birth? What if the rain is as good as the sun? What if the running antelope and the chasing lion are equally good? What if hell is just more heaven in disguise? What if everything is good, and there is no such thing as bad? No evil; Just love? No time; Just eternal perfection? No ugly; Just beauty? No judgement; Just being? What if?

was the present moment when you read this, it was the present moment when you typed it and it is still the present moment. If you think about it, you will realize that there was never a time in your life when it wasn’t the present moment. When I walk down a road, the path ahead of me is not the future, it is also in the present moment and the path behind me is not the past, it is also still in the present. Looking at where I was or where I’m going may be thought of as past or future, but the reality is, we may never escape this present moment.

I would not discard time, it is a very useful concept! I just don’t believe it is possible to travel through a concept

I was thinking that people are always thinking there’s a supreme being greater than us that either birthed or governs our existence. That we live in a universe of multiverses and shit like that. But what if that supreme being or God is actually much more simple than us? What if that supreme being is the most simple thing in existence. Which would mean that it gave rise to everything that exists in a way. That if you break down anything in existence small enough to the most simple form possible you would find “God” or the supreme being. Except it’s much more simple and ironically much less spectacular than us. Having essentially 0 intelligence, awareness, consciousness, etc than us. And that it grew outwards. And evolved into us. From what it is to a string to a quark to a proton to an atom to a molecule all the way up to a universe teeming various different celestial bodies and life. So instead of calling it a supreme being it’s more so of an “original being”

How are you feeling now?

For thousands of years people have been wondering whether there is a beginning and end of time, whether space has any limits, and can matter be divided into smaller and smaller particles indefinitely. But another question is whether causality itself has any limits. If you look at a certain thing or phenomena, for the most part, it is so because of something – it has an underlying cause. And that something is so because of something else – another cause – and so on… Is it possible to arrive at something which is the last cause and there is nothing beyond it? It’s like considering the universe to be finite, but if it is so, what is it enclosed into? And if there are many other universes contained in some superior multiverse, what is it enclosed into and so on… Can something be just by itself and have nothing that caused it, itself being its own cause? And if causality is infinite could we ever comprehend it because it would take a mind with an infinite conceptual ability, whereas our minds are, apparently, limited in their conceptual ability – can conceptual and logical causality be infinite? Is God the ultimate cause of an infinite causality? – this statement seems to be paradoxical. If there are rules and laws of things, where did they come from, do they have superior laws and so on?

It's too good to be true isn't it?

Sure. I don't disagree with that.

They do and they don't at the same time. Since there is no difference between difference and not different. Kinda like a snake eating it's own tail.

Something and nothing are identical.

@lxlichael well said.

Nice one.

My concept on reality is that time itself technically does not exist, as our brain is the one that conceptualises what the past is through experience and memory. Each snapshot of time ceases to exist as a new one occurs. But remember, the reality we live is an objective reality that is created by our brains. There is no absolute reality in this reality we perceive, hence why change is a thing. But when you think about it in the infinite standpoint then no. Essentially, change is possible in the reality we have created. But that must mean, our reality is made up of infinite other realities...

Direct experience=Truth.

think that y'all will find this thread to be more or less interesting. I tend to talk to myself all day long more or less in a narrative way conversing with myself I guess. I'm never really sure what the hell is responding back to me. I've been told I am psychic and I am sure of that to a small extent. Most people will roll their eyes and say sure... But though I cannot prove it I am certain there is something listening to me and occasionally responding. Call me schitzophrenic of whatever, I'm indifferent to that. It's gotten to an odd point where it's become an ordeal. I am an anxious person by my own faults. Pretty much based on the topics I choose to look it. Regular **** loses my attention and more complex and frightening topics give me a sense of dread but I tend to go towards them. I think it's because of the absurd and scary nature of many topics. War, god, life, human characteristics and the reasons for this world. Most of them are meaningless. They have no bearing on my life but I tend to be drawn towards that **** out of fascination and pure obsession. I can not really turn my brain off. It's a computer that keep processing **** all day long. I will start off on one things and out of guilt, strange correlation and other things in between I will get into a whole other subject or thing from one thing. I use the internet as a place to put my ideas into words and meanings for other people because they can't just live in my head. Though I am not sure many people think like I do I believe you are all here because you are interested in life and morality. **** like that. You all have your own opinions that want to be voiced and heard. Responded too and critiqued to get a better understand of what it is you want to find. If not, I don't know why you would be here. Anyway, this thread is for voicing your thought process to better help me with mine in a regard and so I can understand yours. I shared my end of it so you can get a glimpse into how I work and possible let someone else know they are not alone in this thinking. I know I'm not the only one though I have never spoken to someone with the same problems I have.

Is life worth living? Let me pose that not as my personal quest, but as search for the meaning of life. When I was young, I was taught to believe that we as the master race have the responsibility to make this earth of ours (and perhaps the universe, by extension) a better place. What would those beasts living under the law of the jungle be, without us around. We have the right to grow, prosper, and multiple, because we are the best, in justice and in intelligence. True? No, as we are told more and more. The earth would be better off without us around, or at least with fewer of us around. Not that the earth cannot do without us, but that we are imposing ourselves against its wish for the better. But why should we impose ourselves, if not because we enjoy doing so. Really? What is it that we enjoy less and less if we grow older? Is there a stage at our age when the balance is tipped, when the weakness, pain, disease, and isolation would surpass the endless leisure of summer and youth? If so, I would propose the aged should be allowed to end their life whenever they deem fit. Put this as their last contribution to what has been granted as their place in the sun: to allow the earth some breathing space with fewer people around. The argument may even be extended to beyond the aged. Some would say: I have never requested to be alive. My birth is against my will, if you do not mind. At this juncture, I can clearly declare that my life is not worth living. Can you leave me alone please? Hey, should we leave him alone? I pose this topic for your philosophical response. Please don't dwell on how much you enjoy sex, fine dining, and so on, as to leave breathing space for more focused discussion on the meaning of life.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we have the power to change our eyes to see as much beauty as we want.

There is no creation separate from the creator.

Well.... It appears that the error is made to exclude the observer from the consideration. A "First Cause" cannot logically exist because it implies a begin and a begin cannot precede an observer because a begin requires an observer. Simple logic shows that the observer cannot have a cause or begin. A begin implies the start of a pattern and a pattern is bound by observation. Recent scientific studies confirm that the observer precedes reality.

How do you know?
