If psychedelics have made me realize one thing * 2
    #18748882 - 08/23/13 08:28 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Its that reality is a illusion being created by my brain, and we are truly all one. When i go to bed tonight reality will cease to exist for me until i wake up. When i die, reality will cease to exist for me. Even the "universe" that we seem to be in is just a illusion our brains have created. If a man cannot see and is born that way, there is no such thing as sight in his reality. His reality is purely sounds and feelings.

I could ramble on forever, but its pretty weird to think that everything we perceive is just being created by our brains (or is what our brains show us that we perceive as reality).

Hell how do i even know i see the same colors and hear the same sounds as you?

I can see your point, but I think a more likely option is that the brain is limited to what its input is.
Most of our bodies can see, people that are blind do not have that input.
Reality is purely perception, as perception is what are brain shows us from these inputs. 
There should be a basis in reality of what our brain perceives, because I think that is far more likely than our brains making everything up for the hell of it.
I think we can all see the same colors, as we can read our brain waves, and have certain mental responses when we see certain colors. Such as - the colors red and yellow, make us hungry. While blue calms us down.
It would be very weird if everyone's brain saw different colors, but had the same responses to the perceived color.
DNA isn't that random, and most humans have the same brain setup.

I do believe that we can change our reality by changing our perception. There is much of the visual spectrum that we cannot see, and there's probably a bunch more shit out there effecting our bodies, minds, and lives that we have no way of sensing. By doing certain things, we can alter those energies and therefore alter our reality.
I mean, me thinking positive thoughts - is just my brain making electrical pops, and connections. That's using matter, that's using energy, that's using electricity. Where does all that shit go? Back into my body, to make it feel healthy, rejuvenated, and happy.
That's why the placebo effect works. :shrug:
Reality can be changed if you want to simply do to that effect.

I think.
I dunno.
I'm rambling. haha
Thanks for making me think a bit.

Though we are all truly one.
We're just the universe experiencing it'self. We're not conscious, the universe is. Which is what we are.

How do you even know that people around you are conscious like you are? For all you know, they could act normal but internally be as empty as computers.

This gets back to the hard problem of consciousness:

I just had an hour long conversation with Cleverbot.

Some of the questions/answers it gives blows my mind.

We're all just kind of put here, not knowing what's going on.

Picking up the bits and pieces of info that we can.

Nothing is forever.

Something is for nothing.

Can there be something without nothing?

Don't mind me.

I'm just rambling.

Yeah, thats also a though ive had in the past. What if i (or you, or whoever) was the only consciousness being and everyone else was created by the conscious ones mind. There would be no way to tell.

Also, how do we know brainwaves even exist, and arent also part of the illusion?

That's crazy!

Thanks for posting :thumbup:

These A.I.s are only aware of what they're exposed to.

But their ability to adapt and learn is chilling to say the least.

Will it come to a point where man creates man?

Or will man merge his consciousness with machine?

(stoned though: a Human creates soulless, mindless human that acts just like a conscious human.
So human starts to create these mindless robot humans thinking they are just like real humans. The robot humans start creating more robot humans. Some humans decide that this is a better way to repopulate. They eventually merge into society and eventually you cant tell whose a real human and who is a soulless robot.
That would be freaky huh?)

Very freaky.

There's a whole episode on that of "Joe Rogan Questions Everything"

Freaky shit, got me all stirred up last night.
If you got 40 minutes, I highly recommend to watch it.
Has a crazy BINA48 interview in it.

OP, you are very right.

Consciousness is all we are. That a scary thing. And such a damn beautiful thing.

You should listen to Alan Watts.
