Someone here

I don't. Or... do I?

Yep. There is... no explanation. Never was. Never will be. as Russell said 'the universe is just a brute fact folks and that's all'.

It's relative. You create your own purpose and values

Direct experience. Nothing else.

@ted73104 thank you. Very good perspective .

Is peace different from happiness? How do you find your 'peace of mind'? Asking because I'm not experiencing peace in my life.. Rather I'm living on the fire of worry and anxiety.. How is peace connected to detachment? Is it true that the more detached you are.. The more peaceful you are

What lol That's literally what happened. You should've discussed those things that I said Leo should reconsider instead of discussing what 'evidence' means. I think the word 'evidence' is very common and it's meaning is well known. Look it up in the dictionary lol.

@Gesundheit it started with my assessment that Leo should take back or reconsider some of his psychedelic insights because it simply lacks evidence. You then got all weird about it lol..

No no no... There is a difference between the content of experience and the context of the experience. The content is absolute Truth.. What you experience right now is Truth undeniably.. How you interpret the experience is context... This might be not what you thought it was... But that doesn't change the content...

There is different kinds of evidence depending on the nature of the thing that we are trying to prove. Evidence just means proof. There is empirical evidence (seeing the sun is an evidence of its existence). There is deductions or logical evidence. And there is mathematical evidence which some say it's the most credible one. But for me empirical evidence is the strongest. Because you can't deny or refute something you have direct experience of. Now what evidence did Leo provide for 'reality is imaginary'??? (meaning it's a subjective hallucination not an objective world).

Oh boy that's one of the worst questions ? Why I am me and not you... Why am I experiencing life through this particular human body? Why am I not Leo or Donald trump or that dog or this cat? You probably gonna say 'but you are these people simultaneously'.. But I'm only experiencing one point of view at a time.... Which is this human being. Is there any possible explanation?

Who knows

@0ne when you say 'God'.. What do you mean by that? Can you walk on water?

As you grow up reality becomes more nihilistic. Not sure why

I don't understand the question!

You just gave me an idea lol

Don't know if the right section... Someone suggested to me to read the power of now by Eckhart tolle... I downloaded it but feel lazy to read it All... If anyone have screenshots or highlighted the best chapters and paragraphs... Please post here. Especially regarding -being present. -eliminating suffering.

How do you know any of that? Sounds like a story to me.

But if we remove the 'I'.. Then it's a totally different question.. Asking about why being even exists which is a difference... I'm asking why are you a human being right now and not a shark for example? Could you elaborate?

@Mason Riggle because simply it's not your experience. Maybe you are God from ultimate perspective. I have no problem with that. But within this moment.. This current human being that you are is too weak and vulnerable. It needs God outside of itself. And that's why major religions teaches that God is separate from you and bigger than you and you need him (it) etc..

@Gesundheit he wasn't been able to provide any evidence so far. And a psychedelic Trip isn't an evidence.

The parts about Solipsism and reality being imaginary (his idealist philosophy).. I think it's ultimately false.

In a short sentence. Because there is a lot of confusion and varying opinions on this forum. Some think it's THIS and you are already awake. Some think it's the falling away of separate self. Some think it is an insight into the true nature of reality. What is awakening? For you....... And why there is different opinions? And how do you know if you are awake?

Why? How? Is it a coincidence? How it can't be otherwise? You could've been a cat.. But you are not.. You are human.. And not African human.. But European human... All coincidence?

@AdamR95 Why are you you in the first place? You get what I'm saying? Why you ain't a dog or bird?
