Anyone else feel * 1
    #22386095 - 10/15/15 10:28 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Like life's nothing more then a persistent dream? I've continually pondered about it for most of my life and lately I've finally reached a conclusion that the most likely probability is that this is nothing more then some phantasm of a conscious or perceptive force of which, each of us and by extension all lifeforms are nothing more then a transient shard sent out to experience this realities particular set of rules. Of course I have nothing to back any of this up aside from intuition, but its what I tend to believe.

Sometimes it feels like life is the most complex joke ever, with a long drawn out esoteric punch line...

But yes, on brighter days it seems that we are all just an extension of a larger consciousness, sending information from our experiences back to the motherboard. A great cosmic experiment.

Upon awakening from the dream, one knows one has awakened -- how?  By seeing the sunshine, the daylight of reality - by experiencing the real world; touch and feel --

When I woke up many years ago - there was only one brief moment when I wondered, was this real?

Surely -- too good to be real?

And my answer to myself was -- I trust myself, because when I place my hand on the earth, I know it is there.  As I know the earth is there, I also have faith in my vision. . .

As Asante said, have faith in your vision -

As well as almost countless wise people from all around the globe :sun:

Going back as far as Liezi and further. . .

There are so many aspects to reality - allowing consciousness to heal, trusting in it, etc., ( which I partly got from Thay ) and other things, help us to deal with difficulties;

Beautiful and thank you so much :sun: :sun:

:heart:

Love and peace to all :peace: :earth: !

Life is so short it feels like the only thing it can be is a dream, and to die, for everything to evaporate without so much as a single trace seems so contrary to the nature of consciousness. That we're aware of all of this, we remember, and without any of that it simply wouldnt exist in any real sense of the word. Without something to live breath and feel its existence it might as well have never been. Its even apparent in the way it reacts to being sensed, that watching something can actively effect whats going on. How you can elicit measurable physical changes in your body through carefully mediated meditation. Its like matter is dominated by this intelligent force that drives everything, and without it, it wouldnt be anything.

Yes!  Excellently well expressed, dear friend. :sun: :heart: :heart:

A nice quote by Dogen: 'Your body is like a dew-drop on the morning grass, your life is as brief as a flash of lightning.'

Yet there's also an eternal. . . each word touches infinity; when we touch a tree, a computer, or anything, it ripples throughout the whole universe.  This is why so little needs to be done - simply to awaken, to love and light, full, and this travels from one to another, like the candle flame which passes from one candle to the next.  'Heart and soul, life passes from one to another,' a song lyric.  Or the beautiful maha-mantra, OM Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha - Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone Completely Beyond, All Awakened, So Be It!  And then in a few years, the 10 bhumis, or grounds of being, fully realized, and one spends a long while in the infinite pure lands, and comes back, and so forth and so on.  Infinite peace, love and bliss to all beings.
