Why does nobody appreciate existence
#20661096 - 10/05/14 11:54 AM (9 years, 5 months ago) |

by the way, when I say appreciate I don't mean being thankful for. i dont mean that at all.
i just mean that the concept of existence is so magical that it completely defies logic. it is the coolest illusion of all because it's impossible and yet it exists and it's right in front of you.
it has no beginning, no end, and it's infinite. there was never a time when existence didn't exist. what a mind fuck.
where I grew up and the people I interacted with, nobody seemed to be fascinated by existence.
to me its like the most interesting concept ever and it just makes me giggle and laugh inside when i realize how truly impossible and divine existence is.
"only when the mind is completely silent can it come upon the eternal"
for some reason, a lot of people insist that God created existence. i find that unnecessary because then you have to ask the question of who created God? existence just exists, it doesn't require a creator. it just is and has always been.
existence is a beautiful enigma; a complete mystery that always leaves me baffled each time I think about it.

Saying that nobody appreciates it is a huge exaggeration, by far. We have evolved in a way that our main focus is primarily on the macroscopic level we live in, however when we get the time to sit and think about it (the universe) everyone is a bit mind fucked by the concept of existence in one way or another.

It's far from impossible, because it's apparent. It's even far from being unlikely, because existence is a 100% reality.
Quote:
The anthropic principle states that this is a necessity, because if life were impossible, no living entity would be there to observe it, and thus would not be known.

Yeah I mean, I don't want to say it's insignificant, but I mean, it's a numbers game. How long has the Universe been around? I guess we don't know for sure, but hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of years, at some point, it's not too big a coincidence, our time here is not even a spec on the timeline, and I'm sure we'll be gone long before it becomes one.
However, I appreciate the sentiment.

A lot of people aren't interested in things they can't explain. Myself I was always the type to ask instead of listen, and that's why I feel like I can relate to the OP. Aside from the shroomery, even when tripping with others I don't expect any sort if interest aside from an open ear when I try to get philosophical.

I appreciate existence, and think that it's fantastic in scope. However, when I am having a tough time in my life, it's hard not to complain about my life / my existence / existence itself. Therefore, my appreciation of existence is limited to when I am not having a tough time in my life.
I, myself, am religious (Christian), however -- at the same time -- I also acknowledge science as being a part of existence (at the very least: science being nothing more than a way to explain the universe / all realities / all of existence in a way -- and/or ways -- that religion falls short of explaining, as with the Bible).
As opposed to what you said in the first post, however, I -- myself -- believe that the universe / all realities / all of existence did start at some point in the past (with God having created it).
Just so you (and others) don't take me the wrong way, I think I should state here that I don't have any interest in "selling religious views" or "selling scientific views" to anybody, and -- rather -- I state my beliefs / views / knowledge only for the sake of acknowledging my beliefs / views / knowledge for the sake of discussion -- not for any other reason. So, don't worry -- I have no intention to change your beliefs and/or views, nor anybody else's.

it's beeen around FOREVER. that's the crazy part.
if the Universe wasn't physically here at one point, then what was? Well, NOTHINGNESS was.
everything comes from that nothingness. it spawns the universe. you come from it, i come from it, the trees come from it, etc
and that nothingness/eternal void/etc was always here.

Right, so couldn't one argue that life exists out of necessity, not so much a miracle? If the Universe came to be from nothingness, then perhaps life came from the same, out of necessity.
Life is a miracle in the sense that the way things worked out, even by chance, is still amazing, but at the same time, is it a miracle? All we know is life, because it's all we've experienced, maybe it's the only way things could have been, maybe it wasn't some random miracle, maybe it just had to be this way.
Nobody really knows. I think it's awesome how it all happened, but I don't believe in some universal consciousness or anything like that. As of now, I believe it was just the result of a whole lot of fucking time, and eventually, it just happened.
How do we know there weren't a trillion big bangs before the one we believe? Maybe it isn't a miracle, maybe this shit has happened billions of times before and one time it finally just so happened to click. The same way evolution works, it's possible the universe works in the same way.
Interesting shit man.

i'm not saying life is inherently fun/boring/good/bad
life can be horrible, life can be awesome, life can be scary, etc
im just saying that how existence exists is baffling
we're such logic oriented creatures but yet the whole concept of existence completely defies logic in every way possible. something coming out of nothing defies logic. something having no beginning defies logic.
dont think about it, just try and feel how strange existence is and maybe you'll really get what i'm saying.
---- Also, peace of mind, you said there isn't a universal consciousness. so if the entire universe is just a deterministic process, then how does human intelligence arise out of that? if it is deterministic, then all your thoughts, ideas, etc are just products of a deterministic reaction. you're not really thinking up your own thoughts hehe. trippy stuff to think about
none of this stuff really matters btw in the traditional sense. this is not going to help you succeed in the western world and make you rich, if thats what youre after, but it's fun to think about once in a while.
hell it trips me out just thinking about it!

Not at all, I was actually agreeing with it. We're essentially all wrong if we claim to "know" anything.

are those who claim to know something "wrong" or just misunderstood? Maybe we've simply projected false implications onto "knowledge".
I think of knowledge as a present state of awareness or conscious experience. If you've had conscious experience of something divine, then there's no reason to deny it, even if it seems far fetched. If you haven't, there's no reason to say that there is something divine, but i think it would definitely be worth investigating to one's own satisfaction.

With science we can deny a lot of things, we still can't prove whether or not these things are true or not. Still, fine, no reason to deny it, so that means just accept it as truth? I believe in questioning everything, even science. The thing with science though, is that science is the understanding that our observations can and will change, nothing is set in stone.

No, i don't mean everyone should accept what i'm saying, not at all. Like, seriously think about these things, but that includes thinking of them as possibilities.
What i meant by "there's no reason to deny it" is for those who have had a conscious experience with what is referred to as "the divine"....once you've seen certain things, it's a constant reminder that there's more to this reality than physicality, whatever it is....something like experiencing higher consciousness, the big self, cosmic consciousness.
like, we're all a part of the cosmos... consciousness is a part of us, therefore consciousness is a part of the cosmos. As we have evolved naturally and inherently in the moment, it follows, logically, that consciousness is just as natural and inherent to the moment as our physical bodies.

Existence does not make any rational sense. there may be a sense of logic in nature, how its foundation is constructed, and how it functions but the very concept of existence itself is irrational and, thus, maybe even supernatural. this paradox may be impossible for us to ever really understand, let alone make even the slightest sense of.
to explain existence, either:
1) existence has existed forever- for all eternity. there was never a time when it didn't exist. it has no beginning. a total paradox.
2) there used to be absolutely nothing, complete void, and then existence (something) came out of that nothingness. once again, paradoxical.
3) existence, life, etc is all an illusion- in reality there is absolutely nothing.
every option is a paradox in and of itself that completely opposes and contradicts our ideas of logic.

OP I like your view on things
I too think that life is a gift, I just wish there wasn't so much suffering. When you look at all of the things that humans have to overcome it can truly be overwhelming. Hunger, disease, thirst, famine, war, violence.
Life is truly beautiful, and if I ever get blessed with children I will pass on the valuable lessons and wisdom that I have earned over time.
Wish I could remember the truths you spoke from a day-to-day basis, OP. Good karma sent your way

I appreciate existence but it's still a challenge most of the time.

Existence is amazing but sometimes u just get way to caught up in existing to realize how beautiful existence is. That's where shrooms come in

I agree with OP. I can't stop thinking about existence, all I do is think about it. I look at the absurdities in life and laugh. The weird quirks, the weird things that happen to us. I'm a sort of romanticist so I try to magify the universe but then you see that the universe is a bloody miracle in itself anyway. I've always asked too many questions for my own good, which is not a good thing when all of family is Muslim.
I mean what started the Big Bang? What was before it? Why did it just do it? Why? Why is the Big Bang? Why is the shape of a circle the way it is? Why are numbers? Why the fibonnacci sequence? Why? Why? I have more questions than answers, I would elaborate but I'm not in a state to type clearly or efficiently.
I do think that existence is beautiful in all it's weirdness, I'm on road that leads to somewhere and nowhere. Such is the life of the questioner.
