How do you know this? How is it possible that nothing imagines something? If reality is absolute nothing it should be nothing forever and we can't be here even as an imagination. 0+0+0+0+0+0 to infinity is still zero! If you have nothing at all you can't have something. If I want you to make me a meal I have to give you some raw material "food" to make thr meal. But if I give you "nothing" you won't be able to turn that nothing into food! What does it mean "seems there but not really there".. It's either there or it's not.. It might be a mirage or a dream like but that doesn't change the fact that something of any kind is just there. Hope that makes sense. -

Well I didn't try psychedelic but from hearing other people's stories it gives them mystical experiences and they start hallucinating stuff and then the chemical goes off and they are back to the normal perception of life. I don't know why should we think a hallucinating drug can give us explanation of the nature of reality. -

So far my contemplating led me to the following : 1- the "real world" in the waking state is no different from the dream's world in terms of the apparent phenomenon. It's just that the latter is more consistent and more logical. 2- the substance of reality is completely unknown. Could be matter or imagination but that doesn't say anything about what it actually is!, 3 - also whether it be this or that I still don't know why anything exists at all whether it's matter energy awareness God etc -

Show me.. How am I doing this? It's not in my direct experience. -

"Real " is reality this thing that's here around me. My question is what is the very substance of Reilly and why does it exist? -

Well I don't exist as just awareness. I'm in this body it's obvious. The awareness definitely seem to have a limitation. I'm in this body not your body. What is "real"? I don't know that's my question here.. All I can say is that this stuff here that we call the world "people cars animals etc" that is what I would call "real" but I know that it might an illusion.. That's a possibility.. But still that's the only thing to be sure of.. This stuff is just there in front of me. Yes it's fluxes but it's "there " nevertheless. I wouldn't call it unreal just because it changes constantly.. If i to doubt the existence of what's in front of me and the only thing that exist then the whole discussion would end.. We have to start from a ground.. And my ground is the existence of myself (my mind and body) and the world around me. Notice I didn't jump to conclusions about the nature of the world or the nature of awareness.. I just stated honestly my raw direct experience which I cannot doubt. -

Yes I agree. I would say the following are absolute facts : I exist and this world exists and I am aware of it. Which means these things are right now in direct experience they can't be doubted. The nature of experience or anything else is open to discussion. -

Would appreciate it if you guide me through this inquiry!. -

Well I think that's just a belief it's not based on my direct experience. All I see is the body and mind and the material world and nothing else. I'm open to the possibility of me being some hidden creative power that is imagining this little me and the world just like the real me and the false me inside of a Dream. But I don't have any concrete evidence for that. And the world does seem material and governd by certain laws which I cannot change through my imagination. Which makes me question what's the benefit of believing in something goes against direct experience? That might prevent me from getting good results in life.
