anyone bothered by the fact that your life is fake?
    #21708143 - 05/21/15 09:27 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

if only i could forget this narrative my brain keeps telling me is real.

everything that's needed is right here and now. why is so much time and energy invested in this fantasy that only exists in my head

past and future - swirling like a merry-go-round through my mind day-in and day-out
dreams built upon wishful expectations, anxious fears, nostalgic memories and remorseful mistakes

these are all just stories we tell ourselves to give our lives meaning. everything that's real is right here in this moment.

plans are good, goals are good, and learning from the past is good. but why do we invest so much emotion and concentration on these imaginary stories that we make up?

and no, your life is not fake. it is in fact your life's story that is fake.

you as an organism are real. and your interactions with the environment are real. physical and emotional and social dynamics and all that. the meaning you give to things which so influence your emotional dynamics is just built upon language and syntax, which is just a bunch of symbols we made up

if i were to ask you the question "who are you", you'd run through a list similar to your resume, maybe throw in some personal "experiences", or throw out some labels.

that's not who you are. who you are is a living breathing biological entity programmed specifically to survive in its current environment and conditions.

your "life's story" is a series of mechanisms inching your life one bit further towards oblivion.

to find a satisfactory reason for your existence, your organism programs itself to seek recreation and fulfillment. the search for meaning and all that... is simply a byproduct of knowing of your inevitable demise

Envix, brother....:rolleyes:

Maybe you could learn some practical knowledge of something.:cookiemonster:

I've had the feeling of learning too much at once before as-well, and from my perspective you could use some experiential knowledge of whatever it is you want.:elmo:

even if the akashic records is real then my point still remains valid because it would have to be written in some sort of "language" to have any  sort of meaning

meaning beyond language is purely subjective and based on personal experience

Fake?

just because your past experiences are well in the past, doesnt mean your life is fake.

Your actions and descions still affect reality, even on a small scale.

Our lives maybe small in the Grand Scheme of the entire Universe, but it doesnt make it fake.

Starfire's post reminds me of the last time I took LSD and became extremely confused and egomaniacal

I was literally convinced the Shroomery was just a huge conspiracy which revolved around exposing my hidden secrets and ultimately sealing my fate

I think I hear what you're saying... that the stuff we make up is fake. We could all just be satisfied with what's around us, but if we did that we'd still be in the stone age. We need social invention to create the reality or society we want, and of course the rules, machines and the like to keep said reality standing and safe from other "real" things (like hurricanes). It may seem arbitrary, but every piece of the puzzle has a purpose. Even if it's not recognized at the time.

I've kind of come to some grim realizations about running in the rat race myself... its pretty lame... there's pretty much no shortcuts and for regular middle class people it entails probably between 20-30 years of work before you can live on easy street and have everything in life...

like I've been saving for about two years now to get a house deposit, will probably be ready in about another year. and that's just to get a 20% deposit on a place so i can secure lower interest rates with flexibility to shop around, and avoid having to pay lenders insurance and other crap.

then i still have to pay back the other remaining 80% plus interest, which by the same projections will probably take about 10-15 years minimum without any hiccups along the way, which there surely will be. my saving grace is that hopefully the property doubles in value over that time period and i make some $$$ out of it.

but that's all just to own my own house.

then add into the mix having kids, raising a family...

it never stops man

prepare your anus because life is going to fuck you right up one way or another

save your money bros. save your money. you may not realise it now, but sooner or later a day is going to come where you aren't going to have enough money to do the shit you need. and you're going to want to rob a bank or something to make ends meet, and wish you hadn't blown god knows how much on all kinds of frivolous shit that does nothing to benefit you in the long term.

s a v e  y o u r  m o n e y

my life is fake as shit though. i lead some kind of double life: snobby self indulgent arrogant professional by day, word up thug try hard bikie drug addict by night. and i try not to let the two ends meet. i hate pretty much everyone i know and have ruined just about all the relationships in my life. and lately have just been pushed to the limits with stress and anxiety between working and studying. basically resigning myself to the fact that i have to eat shit for most of the week, to come home and rest and regenerate over the weekend to get raped again. and then go eat more shit in the world. for about 15 years minimum.... yay...

I couldn't imagine having to put on a show during the day for work. I would snap. Construction work will save you from evolving that way. Patience is a must to work with people every day.

I have a life plan written down. Several crucial checkpoints. Many minor things along the way.

Of course, up to now, only half has come true and the other half are thing I should have planned for but haven't.

I have my 30s figured out too, I'm 29. Hopefully 25% of it will go according to plan and the other 75% will go better than planned.

Yes, life is an illusion, but a very persistent one. The past does not exist, memories are false and neither does the future exist. The only true and valid point in time is right now, this moment. That does not mean we can't learn from the past and plan for the future, as OP said. It means we should be aware of the illusions and not take life so seriously.

What I'm trying to say is that we need to play life like a game. We act as though it was real and important while not taking it seriously. We do what we need to do to stay alive, have creature comforts and plan for the future, knowing it will be different than we planned.

Its important to be non attached to the physical world and all in it. Everything changes, once we have things just the way we want them, we lose them all. We lose friends and loved ones, we lose our abilities, possessions, eventually our mind and life too. Why cling desperately to these things knowing they will soon be gone? If you define yourself as someone who can run fast, play a good game of whatever, and who is attractive, etc, what happens when none of those things are valid any longer? Do you cease to exist? No, your essence is the same, the outer illusions have changed.

Ah, grasshopper, naturally you don't understand. The past does not exist, if it does, show it to me? The future is not here, you can't show me that either. Our memories are notoriously faulty, we remember things the way we want to remember them. Only the present is real.

Change is constant, we have the ability to plan and to change our present. We use our faulty memories of the past to make plans for a better life in the present. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Our thoughts and actions create the new present reality.

Who are you? What defines you; your status, money, health, knowledge, relationships? All those things will fall away. What is the real you?

Wow really? Do molecules and atoms not exist because I can't show you them? Just because or memories are faulty doesn't mean the past doesn't exist. It just means our interpretation of the events are skewed.

What planet do you live on man?

You're asking for proof of past and future like its an objective experience that everyone goes through the exact same way. Obviously my past is gonna be different than yours, as will my future Bc we're different people

Show us the past? If something exists, it can be shown. Matter in any form, light and other radiation, electricity, and so on can all be shown. But only in the present. We can say our records show that in the past this or that occurred. Perhaps, but the past is over, it no longer exists. The present is all that is real and even that is full of illusions.

If you think the past is still real and does exist even though you can't show it, does the future exist? Where is it? Can you show the future? You can only show the present and what is going on right now.

The present is a human conception of the current second in point in time which can only be measured in relatively accurate terms computed by technology, your understanding of the present, past and future is nothing more than a series of present realities, all of which are as real as any other second that has passed

Saying it doesn't exist and it isn't real is pretty fucking hilarious

"SHOW ME THE FUTURE FUCKER OR ELSE IT DOESN"T EXIST"

OK. Wait 1 second. Bam. The fucking future.

The past? Well, I can't show you the past, I just have to imagine you remember what happened one second ago. :laugh2:

You people believe in something you can't see, feel, touch or measure? It takes a lot of faith to do that. The present changes or seems to so we delude ourselves into thinking the past exists and there is a future which also exists. Neither of which can be seen, measured, etc.

It's funny because I totally agree with the division you're drawing between the organism and the life story, but I came to a different conclusion about which "I" should identify with.

What about the 4th 'time'?  The time where a thing happens and then has to be filtered through your senses in order to become present, past, future?

Maybe there's just now, and past is memory, future is speculation, and now is now..

Under my current philosophical and scientific understanding time seems to exist to me.  Only instead of being linear it seems cyclical.

haven't read through all the responses yet.

but read up a bit on neuroplasticity. the brain is wired and configured according to experiences garnered through the 5 senses. the brain is constantly rewiring itself to learn and adapt to new experiences. this is what the past really is, rather, a reference point from which to analyze and observe and reprogram yourself to learn and adapt

think of how a computer stores memory. long after a file has been transfered, it stays in-place according to its new structure and paradigm. the data is not still being transfered, it's already been transfered from one state to the next, and is at that point awaiting the next transfer

the past stops existing the moment after it is born

if only i could forget this narrative my brain keeps telling me is real.

everything that's needed is right here and now. why is so much time and energy invested in this fantasy that only exists in my head

past and future - swirling like a merry-go-round through my mind day-in and day-out
dreams built upon wishful expectations, anxious fears, nostalgic memories and remorseful mistakes

these are all just stories we tell ourselves to give our lives meaning. everything that's real is right here in this moment.

plans are good, goals are good, and learning from the past is good. but why do we invest so much emotion and concentration on these imaginary stories that we make up?

and no, your life is not fake. it is in fact your life's story that is fake.

it's kinda hard not to identify with the life you're witnessing constantly.

i have a decent job, i have goals and dreams n stuff, i'm not super old yet, i have a lot invested in my future, and a lot of past regrets like doing nothing or not as much as i could have. these are all fantasies and fake, and though they have benefit they seem to drain a lot out of me.

i've taken psychedelics, i've had my "ego dissolved".

that shit aint permanent. not for me anyway.

and even when i get to that point, half the time i'm left with a sense of petrifying despair and pointlessness.

the other half i'm so blissfully engulfed in life that my awareness is focused only on the sensation of living.

that shit aint permanent either.

Thinking about that kinda stuff will make you mad as a hatter.

A question that has always perplexed me is, what if you deleted your memories, would you still be you? or would be just that pure thing under ourselves... It would be naked and disassociated ready to be reprogrammed with language and environment.

Only this is consciousness we're talking about and every one of us is a tiny part of it.  It can totally be observed through the right set of eyes.

OP I see where you're coming from, dwelling on the past is pointless and being anxious about the future is also pointless. It's good to learn from mistakes, have goals, and be aware but being mindful/in the moment is really the way to live imo. It's much more enjoyable that way and if you don't focus on the present it'll flash right before your eyes. :shrug:

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

Life is not fake.... Kind of feel more like it's a subtle vibrational shift that caused of little unsiverse to burst into existence

nah bro, it takes like a day or so.  In rare circumstances, you can fly back to yesterday in a plane.  But watch out if you do, because matches won't burn, and beer won't have carbonation anymore. plus, if you stay in yesterday for too long, the monsters that destroy yesterday to make room for tomorrow will get you

I feel like everything is fake, disconnected from myself and the outside world. Felt like this for around 5 year now, though ive been feeling better recently and havent had any feelings like this. Now you got me thinking about it and im starting to trip. :mad2:

Makes everything more rewarding and challenging that way. You die in real life, you die 5ever.
