as a conscious being, what can you trust as "real" when your own existence is the only evident thing that can be observed as "real"?
anything outside of one's own existence can be nothing more than speculation.
discuss?

you can't trust anything but your self. that's what's real. same for anyone else. when everyone is looking at the truth, there is a shit ton of overcompensation, yes, because do people ever but rarely do this? not unless they are on drugs usually, and the people who do this are few and far between.
what's real FOR YOU is as real as anything else anyone else has ever experienced. that's what cannot be discounted.

What I trust is real is that there is something providing a foundation for my conscience to exist. Not much else. As drugs prove, we are very vulnerable to distortions

What have you ever seen in it's true form? Or vision is made up of light reflecting off surfaces, but does this mean we would be virtually blind from an outsider's perspective?

That is solipsism my friend, yes, indeed, it does seem we can only trust that we are the only person in life. For all we know we may be only imagining other people into existence, they could just be something which gives the impression of being there but which could be a product of our own imagination.
I remember my mother had a period in her life where she thought that everyone around her was who she used to be along time ago, she felt that they were previous forms of herself which have changed themselves into a different appearance in order to try to trick her...Albeit, she did go slightly "mad" and checked into an asylum somewhere around here...She couldn't go anywhere without thinking that people were trying to get inside her head and play tricks on her, as if every single moment of the world was casting some strange spell that was out to get her, she never felt safe doing anything because she assumed that there were other beings that were plotting to overthrow her rule. She felt the presence of other people trying to enter inside her mind and plant subliminal messages in order to try and delude her more, to try to create more disorder in a mind already gone "maddened".
Whenever she saw someone she automatically would assume it was someone that had it out for her, that they were going to try to pull something right when she least expected it, and the doctors told her that noone was out to get her, that she was perfectly fine and that noone would ever try and do something harmful to her.
She believed everything the good doctor told her and never suspected anything after that, every person to her then became a splendid angel which was illuminating the world with a wide array of beautiful symbols which were only to help her, not to "mind fuck" her or anything like that. a few years later she suspected that the doctors were in on it and that now she had noone she could turn to except herself. Now this is fairly evident, we are the only ones whom we can truly "trust" and even then, can you trust yourself? At times I cannot trust that what I'm doing is for my best benefit, I will do something that I know I shouldn't have done but still will do it anyway, and I can't stop myself from doing this thing without sacrificing something essential in myself.

I always wondered what colors other people saw, because the only reference we have is what color we see. Not very deep, but being really color-blind it's always sort of nagged at me.

I don't consider anything to be real, everything is just the fantastic product of my imagination.

well you see, i can't with any confidence claim anything to be true to anyone else, because it would only be relevant to my own reality.
therefore, i have no truth to give. only truth to receive
this kinda depresses me, but like that one poster said, solipsism. there's nothing i can really do about it

I've wondered this applied to EVERYTHING, i mean for all you know we're all cats, we're all just delusional.

When you start thinking that deep ointo things, you start to become a crazy person.. I mean I understand the deepness of what your saying and can appreciate it lol..
But this computer im typing on, is real, we can have a discussion on whether it is or w/e, but im just gonna not be crazy and go with, yes its real.
Ive been search the shroomery for dmt extraction teks and saw yours from 2 years ago, did it turn out good? Just wondering, it looked like it wasnt going to make it but then it did towards the end. Was it a simple lye/naptha extraction? Not trying to de-rail here, I could pm but I hate pms.

the only one - odjbox
followed by this song:
the scarecrow speaks - deep puddle dynamics
i broke through the universe, saw myself as everything, everything as one. i smoked it with my girlfriend, she smoked as much as me. she felt nothing, she said

Akira_akuma, you hit the nail of the head for me on this one. I make whatever I want to be real and it IS real for me. Hopefully I can bring you all into my world maybe itl be real for you too

this. your memories and the things that happen to you, how are they even "real" when they are just random moments in time?

Depends on what you mean by "you." Like, you can be sure a mind/viewpoint/perspective exists, but I don't see how you can be sure that "you" are who you think you are. You could all be someone else in a simulation where your memory is being altered after all. Not necessarily likely, but totally possible.
