Someone here

figures, flames and dancing silhouettes shades and flashes and a zing warmth, chills and lost in azure cloud falling to a limitless pit a face a mirror a pathway a door a lamp a distance a shadow a fear a climb a cliff a death a memory a gateway.

@acidgoofy thanks for the recommend. Will look it up.

@Tim Ho you 'have' a human being?? I thought that you ARE it?

@Tim Ho I see. Ultimately tho.. You are NOT a human being. A human being is a program. A biological computer that you are temporarily identified with.

@Eternal Unity beautiful

I am the caretaker of the human being. Maybe.

A human being. Apparently.

Mind full of Mars. I woke up this morning, more tired than the night before. With my eyes sealed shut, I made my way to the bathroom door. Rubbing my eyes, I saw stars-- I felt myself spin. I opened my eyes, but my dream state didn’t end. Looking in the mirror, I saw my eyes black as space. I would say they were just as captivating, too. When will I merge back into reality? When will this world fade back into the deepest part of my subconscious? I’ve been running all night in a vivid wonderland, but now I should come back home, back down to Earth. I step into the shower, and through the hot water, feel my spirit return to my body. As the boiling water runs down my sore form, I feel a piece of me come back, and another disappear. I’m not meant to be HERE. I am meant to be there. I long to bypass this worldly routine, to close my eyes, and drift back asleep. Earth is where I reside, but Mars is in my mind. I am an extraterrestrial, among my own kind.

What's the best argument against suicide?

@kinesin she will be sad and mad. That's obvious. Because my body-mind isn't here anymore. But that's the mistaken identity. What if she were conscious enough to recognize that I wasn't my body mind in the first place?

The man I was, no longer “IS” and the man I might be, not yet here, so whom is it that dies at the moment of death? The memories stored in the brain will disappear as the cells die and our self identity is based on those memories of passed events. The past events themselves have already ceased to exist, so it may not be said that the past dies at the moment of our death. Certainly all future potential dies at the moment of death, but how can that which is not yet born, be said to die?

Death of the human self is real. But The human self is imaginary. You die many times in your life every time your personality changes a little bit. You are not born as a self.. You are born as a body. The self is a figment of your imagination. What was never born can never die.

Here's your complaining about complaining

The false you will die. All misidentification with the body and perceptions. You can destroy all forms but you cannot destroy the formless. If nothing remains after death.. That means you were nothing from the get go. Death will reveal who you are. Whataver is left after death is who you really are.

The major question of philosophy is what is existence and reality itself? Where did it come from and why does it exist at all? Many people believe this is a great mystery but I will argue that there is nothing mysterious or grandiose about it - in fact I will argue that existence is both mundane and comically simple. There are many theories of existence including multiverses, higher dimensions, string theory, quantum gravity, gods, conscioussness, quantum fluctuations, mathematical universe theory, simulation theory and on and on. While these are important things to research and ponder I will argue that none of them can be the ultimate truth. Even if these can be proven true they are not the ultimate answer to existence. They logically cannot be as they are just more 'things' which creates the question of where did they come from and so on leading to an infinite regression and more endless searching. This means that logically existence cannot have a reason or purpose for existing because this would lead to the question of why which leads back to infinite regress. Because there is no reason or purpose for anything that means that existence as a whole is completely free and unbounded. There are no meta laws or constraints on existence. There are 'laws' of physics but there are no laws of the laws. The laws of physics themselves have no reason to exist - they came from nowhere. This means that the fundamental truth of existence is pure potentiality itself - which is essentially nothingness. Nothingness is the superposition of infinite potentialities from which all purposeless manifestations of existence arise from for no reason. Our universe, the laws of physics, consciousness, qualia, logic, reason etc and anything else existing is a product of this pure potentiality. Pure potentiality is literaly infinite and has the potential to create anything including absurd things like a universe that was just a bunch of floating chairs but this does not mean it will necessary do so it just has the ability to do so in the same way it created our existence with its specific laws that look normal to us due to the habit of us living here. Pure potentiality is not constrained by any laws or rules and it has no properties because it is the very thing that creates laws, constraints, and properties. Pure potentiality is completely free and unbounded. Purposeless creation for no reason in other words. Itself the very reason for existence.

The point of self inquiry is to know what "the self" is. Or to answer the question "what am I"? Spoiler ;there is no self. Or you could say the entire bubble is you. Nothing is you =everything is You.

Heaven is not a place. It's a state of consciousness and being. Same as hell.

Humans don't exist ? That's what the 10 % of spiritual people would say. That's your perspective and bias. Maybe it's us who are insane.. and the 90% asleep people actually know what's up

Hey man. Sorry to hear about your struggles. Please feel free to contact me if you wanna someone to talk to. If I can help you out with anything

I found that the only way to find peace in life is through detachment and total let go. And total acceptance of my life situations no matter how unpleasant it might be to the ego. But I still am far far away from reaching that ideal. I'm still struggling with attachments.. Frustration when things don't go my way. And overall not very peaceful. How to go about surrendering my ego and my life to selflessness and peace?

It seems strange that the more you let go, the greater the peace and happiness that comes to you. The more you try to achieve anything like peace and happiness, your problems, your chaos, your confusion, it comes with the so called happiness you try to achieve.

@Godhead I know. It can be. Thanks for the caution.

Nutmeg. In high doses can cause hallucinations

You guys struggle to get my point. You still need more reality deconstructing. You deconstructed the past and the future.. But you still have to deconstruct the illusion of the present.

Are you saying reality is not changing? It only seems so because of memory?
