Describe a version of reality. (Creativity encouraged.)
    #5859797 -

I wanted to make a thread where everyone could add any thought or theory they have ever had concerning the nature of reality. It can be personal thought or simply expanding on any well known belief system. Short or long explanations are acceptable as I wouldn't want to limit anyone's expression. Multiple posts/theories are encouraged as well.

So, what is this?

This entire life experience is simply a result of taking a hallucinogenic drug. It is something we enter into as an escape, or possibly use as a learning tool. Some of us do not cope well with the experience brought on by this drug. Some of us choose to leave early (suicide) while others use substances to escape the hallucination for a short period of time. We use drugs to escape the drug known as life. Our true nature is perhaps an alien being, or even a different Earthly existence. Maybe a future Earth, and this is a method of returning to a simpler time.

What we're living is called middle earth crisis, its like a midlife crisis, because all the prehistoric and primative cool shit has warn off and the cool looking futuristic shit isn't quite here, so basically we're rehashing the 80's and 90's again,

but in a way this rehash isn't necessarily an incline due to the exhaustion of resources and a spike in population growth

actually our life expectancy has taken a dip from the last generation,

I expect the middle earth crisis to take on another couple hundred years until the next melt down occurs, which I speculate could be a war, due to terrisom and the population coninuing at its current rate.

Thanks to the theme of my most cathartic trip ever I can answer this question with ease.....

Existence is only viewed as such when compared to non-existence. Things either are, or aren't.... is, or isn't.

Humans all too often get caught up in shades of judgement regarding the actuality, or non-actuality (word?) of an event.

wheat [Re: SneezingPenis]
    #5860816 -

we are travellers exploring paths and
bits of those paths stick to us (both physically and mentally) -

both the travellers and the paths are of one material
that supports interpenetration like a moebius.

the sticky bits and smears shape attitude
that directs a self aware movie of the universe.

then again that might be like describing light beer
by starting with a story about yeast and fields of wheat.

We are the product of circumstance, we might as well be amoebas floating in primordial soup. We are no more spiritual than the dirt in the ground. We are only that which we have attributed to ourselves. Our only defining trait is our superior intelligence, without that we are nothing but another creature of habit.

Everything is as we perceive it and there are no secrets. There is no destiny, only death.

I am actually a god, and I have put myself into this mortal existence because it is the only solution to the pain of immortality. If you really do have absolutely everything then nothing is special anymore. How can you enjoy life when you know that it is going to carry on for an eternity?

To quote Troy: "I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."

first i believe in God but not in heaven or hell because i don't understand why Satan would make suffer the people who make bad things in their life if he doesn't like god.

The Reality ( from my point of view ) is that God gave you the opportunity to make your life either hell or heaven, he gave us a brain and a conciousness to be able to make our own choices but we have to face the concequences here in life.

Why here in life? Because at your birth your TIME start and when you die it ends. When i was tripping one day all my attention went to this three words DO YOUR TIME, the only way you can live forever is in the memories of the people who loved you.

What happens when we die? The beautiful thing in after life is that there's no way we can know what happens next and He make it that way.
Patience is one of the more important thing in life, its not fun when you know what gift you will recieve at christmas.

That's how i feel about it  :smile:

I've been struggleing with the concept of reality, I really don't understand what "I" really am, it really bothers me. As I grow up what and my mind changes, am I still me? or am I something else, and what makes one persons reality any more or less important then another. What is this thing we call life? A test? a Game?

I donno about the rest of you, but I rather be a simple minded being like a fly. Your born, you eat, you shit, you reproduce, you die, there should really be no time to think, its almost a punishment to be able to think about such things.

What you are is what you work for, you know life can't be so easy. You have to work hard to have succes in what you want to do and with that you know yourself better.

am I still me?

Nah, not really. You're constantly changing and evolving, so you can never really be the same from one moment to another. You're impermanent and without self. In other words, 'you' never really existed.

Reality is the aspect of that single thing that can perceive, define and attach attributes to itself. It shines and shades and coalesces and dissipates. It says 'I'm real!' boldly and proudly and does it's little reality-dance. Meanwhile, subtler things skirt about the edges of existence not being non-being or any conceivable phenomenon, not even stooping to know that they have the sweetest deal imaginable. In this way, reality is only half of the equation, but it's the only half that will ever be known or appreciated.

Maybe reality is a mutual delusion shared by those who found the light too bright, the void too cold and the ambiguity too... umm... yeah. Maybe it's particles vibrating and rotating at different speeds, being drawn towards and repulsed by one another. Maybe it's both at once. But more than likely it's something too marvelous to be confined by such paltry words as mine...

Don't worry, I'm wrong.

Reality = A real路ty, of I's ..

The real I ties..
The fake I lies.. (rip apart)


There is one reality, and there are many..
In a dream, one could see reality, as just another dream..
In reality/a reality/any reality, one could see a dream, as just another reality...

"EVEN alone, you may tie.."
-Unknown :p

our galaxy is a proton on the fingernail of a person. And I have milions of galaxies on my fingertip. When my finger hits something I destroy galaxies, but their time is relative so one second of ours is a trilion seconds on their universe.

its always fun to think of things like this

"People living deeply have no fear of death."
"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."
