@Thanatos13 Its always good to get the opposite opinion every now and then, for someone to come along and state the more conventional point of view. But everyone knows this angle already. Its kind of like those people who knock on my door and ask if I've heard of our Lord Jesus Christ. Well of course I've heard of Jesus everyone has unless you're living under a rock. I appreciate your input, I really do because sometimes these types of spiritual forums become a circle jerk, but I can't see how you're being much different to a Jehovah's witnesses.

It's a very persistent dream that's for sure. One that we can't seem to wake from, or even alter to our liking to make less of a nightmare and more dreamy. I suppose it's our constant frustration of reality that pushes us to want to awake. It feels like being a baby in the womb but the mother is having difficulty giving birth. Even though your eager to get out it's not really up to you.

Leo (and others) have claimed that something can be so simple that it can't be explained. It can be so obvious that it can't be seen. Maybe I'm just like the fish that can't possibly understand what water is.

It seems that I have learned two main foundational things from Leos videos. 1. The external physical universe dosent actually exist and is basically subjective. 2. I am so unaware that I can't even grasp how unaware I am. My question is how do we tie these 2 points together? The feeling I'm getting is that these 2 things are somehow one in the same. Edit: And I guess a third thing I realise is that there is no such thing as free will
