Someone here

Yeah need stop giving meaning to thoughts.

No one.

Pure potential exactly. Break down the atoms that make up the universe and you get waves of energy.. Break down the energy you get possibility field.. Pure potential. But does it have any identity other then bring an unknown source? What is it? where Is it how is it why is it when is it? Lol I'm considering taking a break from this path. My mind is flying apart lol

It's unresolvable unfortunately. There is indeed nothing but my subjective experience. A knowledge about something outside of it is impossible by defintion. Who is there other than me in a dream? How is this reality different? This shit's tough lol. All that's certain is an awareness of a subjective experience that contains seemingly "other things". Beyond that I don't know jack shit.

@Endangered-EGO I know nothing. @SamueLSD there is no "physical" reality.as in There is no solidity. It's constantly changing. It gives it this illusory quality try to point to the present moment

We "believe" that. That's right. We like to define existence as a thing that has substantiality independent of the mind. Yet this definition is completely dependent on a mind that has no way to prove anything exists in its absence. To make the claim that something exists outside of consciousness.. You must be conscious which is a contradiction. In other words you will never know!

@Lyubov lol bruh asking someone if they are conscious doesn't mean they are conscious if they affirm. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN A DREAM. Your exercise doesn't qualify as evidence against solipsism.

Happy new year beautiful people lol.. So what is ANYTHING. period? ? To relate to this question you must fathom that the present moment is Completely mysterious and unknown to you. I mean sure you know what a tree is and what a sun is or what colors are (or you think so) .. But the very being of existence itself is a total mind blow. You need to become conscious of that or otherwise I can't help you. ? Take any perception.. Could be a sound.. Or a visual.. A feeling or anything.. Now focus your attention on the feeling of it.. And now wonder what is this? ? First of all notice that it's not what you think it is. Because thoughts are a different perception. ? Do this with everything. Such that you strip the whole universe from all your thoughts about it. Universe - thoughts =?? So now you have the whole universe.. All the visuals and the objects etc exactly the same as always.. But without any narrative whatsoever describing it. Now tell me what is that? Lol ? remember you can't use thoughts because thoughts are not "it". I will say it's just is what it is. And it's completely unexplainable. Just pure irreducible magic. Will use analogy of a dream.. If you were dreaming we could ask what is this dream? What is the substance of the dream? How it came about? There is a direct answer and indirect answer. The indirect answer is it's a hallucination happening in your brain in the waking world. But see we just explained one appearance by another appearance. So we didn't really explain anything. Because the point is what is appearance itself? ? Same thing about this present moment.. If you explain it by atoms and brains.. Or by Gods up in the clouds or simulation theory etc.... You still basically didn't explain anything. Because you've just replaced this unexplainable appearance with another unexplainable appearance. The direct answer to what appearance is or what reality is..... Is it's exactly just how it is and it's a total mystery. Pure magic. And you will never explain it away. Not because of lack in your explanatory tools. But because that's just how it is. But most people have a hard time digesting this.

@Lyubov appreciate your pov on the subject although you clearly are ignorant and have no clue or interest to inquire deeply. It's presented how the same thing happens in your dreams and that does not mean your dream mom is real.

@James123 I agree with you. I said illusion of knowing comes from language. And you don't know much about the world then you did as baby before learning stuff. We basically give labels to things or explain them in terms of other things. But when addressing directly.. What is sound?what is vision? What are objects? What is matter? What is Consciousness? What is time? What is space? What is existence? What is nonexistence? What is everything? What is nothing? Etc basically it's impossible to answer what is ANYTHING. It's just as is.

There is no difference between a dream and waking world as experienced.. But how do you know they are generated in the same way?

But why can't both happen Instantly? At the same timepiece

How cute! You can do the same thing in a dream.. Has nothing to do with "trust".. You can trust a dream character to the fullest. That doesn't change the fact that it's just a dream character

Ah Fuck!

@BipolarGrowth hey. I like your train of thought . But I don't agree with you here. That's a baseless jump. You don't know that. Why should the so called waking world be generated exactly as the dream state? What if they are different? And how do you know? Also before responding to me.. Why are you responding to me..? According to you.. There is nothing outside of your consciousness! You are getting sucked into extreme idealism. What you are describing is true in describing the superficiality of experience. But one must be humble and not assume that what appears is all there is. After all.. Your dreams could be in fact generated by "the brain".. Who really knows? And how do you know your perspective is valid beyond a doubt?

@Sempiternity have you done that?

That's one perspective. My question was how do you know it's true? Do you think people in your dreams are conscious? How do you know you are dreaming "everyone's dream" and not that "everyone" are your dream? Ya dig the difference?

Well do you think of it this way or are you operating under the materialist paradigm? You live as if "the world" is objective and exists independently from your senses? Now is that verifiable? Don't you also assume that in your dreams?

Philosophy and metaphysics. You might be surprised to know that all other fields such as physical science.. Math.. Psychology..language.. Social sciences.. History.. Medicine etc are all just branches of philosophy.

@James123 and learning process happened? So everything that in thoughts doesn't exist? What about thoughts? Do they exist? Exists and not exists are thoughts? So what is THIS? What is ANYTHING for you?

Bro.. If you mean the human avatar. It was born 25 years ago obviously. If you mean nothingness. That was never born. The identification is with human atm ? So universe is just thoughts? What about feeling? Hearing seeing touching? These are not thoughts. Actually thoughts are like a 1% slice of the whole experience. How can you boil it all to thoughts?

@Adamq8 only direct experience man. only when you die (if you die) you will know. Anything else is beliefs mixed with speculation mixed with incomplete evidence.

Bro. I can't understand your perspective. Are you denying that stuff is going on right now? That you are seeing colors and perceiving stuff?.. Please don't get pedantic and say "where is you"? Lol ?... Just down to earth talk please.. Are you denying existence?

But also Its form and fullness.. Two sides of coin? ?

@Mvrs According to scientists.. Our universe was created when two superstrings collided. Our universe is one of an infinite number.. basically a bubble in a soup of pure energy. Our universe is the result of another universe being sucked up into a massive black hole.. and shit out the other end.. all in an endless cycle. So this present moment is both the uncaused beginning and the never ending end. And everything in between.
