All of life’s a stage
It’s an old question in philosophy and religion:
Is our experience of life in this world real?
It sounds a little crazy to ask the question, doesn’t it? It makes you think of people who are mentally unbalanced, who can’t tell the difference between the world they live in and the hallucinations that run around in their heads.
What do people mean when they ask if our experience of life in this world is real?
There are many questions hiding behind the simple world “real”
- Do our senses give us an accurate picture of the world outside of us, uncolored by our personal experience and expectations? Here we’re asking whether we get a clear picture of the “real” world, or whether we’re at least partially living in a world colored by our fears and desires.
- Is this world and our experience of it a superficial or limited experience of a deeper, larger, more profound reality? What if our life on this earth is just a brief moment in a much greater existence. What if there are other dimensions of existence that we live in before and after we come to this world? If true, then our life on earth has a certain reality to it, but it pales when compared with our broader existence.
- Is this world planned, structured, and orchestrated with some purpose in mind? This question is an add-on to the last one. What if our time in this world is somewhat scripted and purposeful. What if we’re here to learn some lesson, or accomplish some spiritual task before moving on to another existence? If so, this world is real to a point. Like a play or a simulation, it may have meaning, but there’s so much going on beyond the stage and beyond the simulator.
- Is this world an illusion? Does this world, like a magician, use some kind of misdirection to get me to focus on the more trivial aspects of existence and ignore more fundamental, more important aspects of existence?
What’s the difference?
Ok. What’s the difference whether this world is real?
What’s the difference to me right now if there are other realities that I’m not aware of.
Even if I was some sort of lab rat being observed, who cares?
I’m here, I’m alive. I’ve got to play the game according to what I can see.
I could imagine a thousand alternate stories for what’s beyond this world.
But they might be pure fantasy. Seems better then, to just focus on what I can see, doesn’t it? Even if we’re like the people in The Matrix, serving as unwitting but happy slaves, wouldn’t we rather not know?
Brave new world
Maybe, or maybe not.
It depends.
It depends on whether we have the ability to see beyond the world that we’re currently living in.
It depends on whether we have the capability to use knowledge of other realities to change ourselves and this world to become something much greater.
If we can rise up, take off the blinders and live differently, then there is a point in knowing whether there’s more to the world than what we’ve been told.
Not yet
Let’s say this all sounds pretty far fetched to you, and way beyond your experience.
What then?
Well, I have one more uncomfortable version of “is life real” to throw at you.
Am I living the life that I’m capable of living with all my talents? Have I fully explored the possibilities within me?
Can any of us really say that we’re living life 100%, and living up to the possibilities hidden away within us?
Can you and I live lives dramatically more powerful than the lives we’re living now?
If we feel and know that we can find and live a greatness that we’ve only seen hints of, then our current lives must be looked at as shadows of the real life that we can live in this world.
The answer to the question, “Is life real?”, might just be:
“Not yet.”
We live in 3rd dimension and very few like Albert Einstein live in 4th dimension. We are lately feeling this emptiness because we are Awakening from the Matrix. The Matrix is nothing more than a prison in your own mind, manipulated for many thousand of years back from a few Illuminati people that control the world and know the truth about how the universe works. They have programmed our brains with nonsense stuff like religions, money, cars, sex, competition, power, violence, technology so that we grow our egos so big and fight all the other big egos that have been created so that we lose our real purpose on this world so we work like robots and slaves for the few who control the world. This is done thru your TV, Radio, Movies, Newspapers, Books, Internet, etc. Don’t let them keep on programming you, Take control and choose over what you see and hear and don’t believe all that mumbo jumbo stuff that they say. The good news is that we are waking up because of the new planetary alignment taking place every 5,125 years and that will be on Dec, 21, 2012 going into the golden era where peace and harmony will rule. Right now we are coming out the darkest and worst eras which is the Dark Era that has been here for the last 5,125 years. Now here is the trick and the Mayans new this, you have to let go of your ego to go into this new era of 5th dimension. If we continue with our ugly egos hurting ourselves and others we will not make it to 2012. Our time is running out. We have Awaken that is the first step. The next is to transform like the butterfly or we will be of no good for the 5th dimension. Remember one thing. We are not what you see,hear,touch,smell, or feel. We are all ENERGY. We are all made of the same substance as the Creator, that makes us all little Gods. We are not individuals. We are all One Infinite Energy. We are all tiny drops from the same ocean. We are almost there, don’t give up. Just remember everyday; Am I a better person than yesterday.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
ruben arizpe, please get in touch. I want to learn more about what you discussed in your post.
My address is my name @hotmail.com
I do believe that there is a God and our real life begins when we wake up from this dream called life, and depending on our soul we or should I say our soul which controls the way we think, act, and love all end up in heaven or hell depending if one has a evil or a more ‘heavenly like soul’. Purgatory is a pretty deep topic that is hard for many religions and groups of people including myself to fully understand, but I am starting to gather that if there really are ghosts here on Earth, then THIS world here is purgatory for the dead and those souls that are here but can not been seen by the naked eye have unfinished business that only that soul(s) can accomplish. Living here in Wyoming helped me realize how badly secret societies (The Illuminati) want to control the aspects of your life. If they had their way, they would put a chip in a brain and control every moment of our life, just like a robot. When I look around, mainly at the people who work day in a day out and believe that everything the government is doing is right and they take every vaccine that someone asks (sometimes tries to force) you to take, then, stop, think, look, analyze, and finally realize that these guys are already succeding on controlling the world, the people, simply without even wasting their money on any mind control chips. All I ask is that everyone needs to control their own life and even if you are the Pope, everyone could still work on their soul by helping others any possible way to strengthening the divine soul we all possess, in which is the one and only thing that really means ANYTHING in this life in this universe.
Dear All
Glad to find the souls on a similar wavelength , slightly differing frequencies but the same motive i.e in search of the truth
I am 100 % sure that this life is not real ,its an illussion of a real life somewhere ( I or we( i’m not sure ) are in a dream , but for a purpose of scoring points , yes we are in a game to score points .
The scoring system is written on us or intuted or programmed the keys to understand are logical approach ( in line with the understandings ,energies n etc etc. given to us by our Programmer , The God )
Almost all of us and few more who will join afterwords have come to a similar understanding experiencing same life but slightly differing cicumstances
The resons on arriving on this stage are logical thinking , open mindedness , honesty , humbleness , etc. etc ….we all know / programmed
We are in a test to be judged on the principles written on us or feed on our abilities to understand
So what I concluded so far is , Carry on with the same spirit even if it is an illution , i am feeling it all and is for some purpose and i am being and will be judged on all what and how am i performing .
In the end I want to share the truth that I came to this understanding through the message well described in Al Quran , Please do let me know as how you individually arrives on almost the same understanding as of mine
Peace be on all of you

In the past when I’ve done salvia, it became pretty clear that this world is not real, I’ve cried out in the realization that my mother did not exist either but as you come out of the experience, it fades and you’re back here, oblivious to “reality”
All of this comes down to love and whether or not we can help others by showing or giving love. This life on earth is to feel love physically with one another. When we are not here anymore on this tangible earth where we can feel and touch, we are sent off to learn something else. We are here to learn how to love and love others with emotional love activated by our physical beings.
Dream Big
I’ve been pondering this topic for a week now….. and I don’t know if life right now is a dream or reality. Sometimes I get frustrated with life and cry out to be woke from this dream. However who knows whether we are living a fantasy or a nightmare. Life when you wake up may be the best thing you have ever experienced, but life might also be a struggle for survival. Therefor you should live out your life to the fullest. Only gods know if your dream world or reality will be happier.
Thanks for letting me express my thoughts,

Hi,
I woke up tonight from a dream i had & the first thought that came to me was, is this the real world? or the place where i just came from?
Sometimes i think about my past & i don’t believe it was really me,
like it’s been program in my head or something.
On top of that, it’s been broke-up in stages with just small details
All this Hi-Tech stuff.. Seems the more we speed toward the future, the more we get to a dream sort of world.. where almost anything we think of is possible..Just like a lot of dreams i have.
Who’s to say that.. this world is just to build our body & make us stay healthy so we can continue to live in our dream world.
Anyway, Looks like both of these worlds might be headed for each other some time soon… Peace
I have been pondering these questions for a few weeks now. I think it’s horrible. I went from believing that this is the only real life and that when we do die we just turn into soil. You could say I had a very scentific perception on things. I liked it.. Things made sense, and every thing had a logical answer.
Then I started wondering.. And his wondering has caused me to feel great anxiety and fear. I used to love life, I was excited about life, I was truly happy about my future, now I question reality.. I hate this.. And I hate all these theories.. And I hate that right now i’m wondring if I’m real or not.
A seventeen year old is meant to be care free, but all I do is worry. How you can enjoy things in this so called ‘dream/unreal’ life if it is indeed not real? Doesn’t seem to be much point..
Nicole,
I don’t have any easy answers for you, but I believe the world is more than it seems.
To me, questioning the reality we see isn’t a doorway into despair – life doesn’t become meaningless.
There is meaning here, even if reality is different than we know.
Explore this world, enjoy everything you see and touch, but consider that there are worlds beyond worlds, that we may find a way to explore and enjoy.
life is so much a mystry we can’t comprehend as mere mortal. life is more or less a dream. who wld av agree he/she is dreaming if told during dream. where is our real self during sleep. this life is funny and probably not real.
Everything around us is energy including us, time is infinate, we were born once we have all the time in the world to be born again, time has no meaning in death so prepare to be reborn in a blink of an eye.
I don’t know how atheists can believe in just death and thats it, if you really think about what i put above it is logical, rational and makes sence.
“Both thorn and thistles it should bring forth, for us. For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are, and to the dust we shall return.”
Greetings.
Intersting thoughts everywhere, even if i hadn’t the time to read them all with the awareness they should earn.
Human perception, animal perception, plant perception, all kind of perceptions are unique, even so in single indviduals of the kind.
Your blue looks not like my blue. Time moves different for everyone. We are slaves of our senses, an universal world seems not to exist.
In dreams it is the same, our senses and memories generate the world, just like in the “reality”.
Is our life real or a dream?
In a dream my body, my thinking, other persons feel very different and kind of artificial to me, but i can’t say the reson isn’t that i am more used to reality.
Just a few thoughts… like the Dreamtime seems to me like a good idea, and a way to explain many strange things in our perceptions, and perhabs our dreams.
last days I was telling this philosophy to my friends, and suddenly somehow this blog appeared from nowhere. I thought that I am the only one with this kind of thinking. I told them that maybe they are my creations, and everything around me, this blog, this comments, the whole world and universe, it’s all my creation. It’s like a dream, you are talking with others, making some conversations but they are you, your unconsciousness and when you realize that you are in a dream.. it becomes lucid dream and you know that you can easily do what you want and everything is possible. Maybe I am here to realize something to discover something and wake up, or whatever it can be.. I can do whatever I want with this world, but .. it is nessesery to have faith and believe that you can do it. When I was a little have dreams, I couldn’t control my dreams cause I don’t know that I CAN.
I woke up from a dream tonight and on the t.v they where talking about space and what it ment. I just graduated highschool and im going to college but the last 2 weeks ive been wondering about my future life and if i will have a family and kids or if something changes my course. but every time i have a dream its what i want it to be but lately i feel like something is showing me a diffrent path so i asked my self is life real or not so i typed it in and i got brought to this page and it helped alot but what i dont understand is whats beyond life ? my parents are both christian not hardcore but they do believe there is a god but im on the border of science and religion and i think people will have better understandings of life when they figure out whats beyond it.
Who really knows what this life is about?
Myself personally belive that we are all part of a huge biomass, space would be like the insides of a huge creatures intestines, pitch black and perhaps stars are like specific cells that generate heat to digest food?
Our identity seems to comes from what others tell us about ourselves (ex. your funny, your handsome, your mean, etc). So without others identifying us, would we exist on this earth? If I walk into the woods and never interact with another person, do I still exist? It would seem that if society believed that I was gone that I would no longer be a part of this exercise we call reality? Maybe death is just a tool that we created for ourselves to allow our spirits to progress to the next dimension. Death is just a definitive point in time that everyone cognitively agrees that another person is gone from this reality.
Hi guys, I recently discovered the meaning of life “personal belief” and would like to share that with people.
I was born and raised in a Muslim family so I always believed I was Muslim until i grew older, being gay and Muslim didn’t work out my way and when i started questioning the rules of Allah I began to drift away.
I stopped believing the religion and became an atheist, that made more sense to me, somehow the idea of this beautiful heaven was just not convincing in this reality for me.
Few events happened in my life that made me question atheism, I started thinking things that happen in your life gives this place a meaning so there must be something more then just these.
One day I spoke to this girl about a drug called “DMT” which i’ve never heard of until that day, she told me all about how she believes it takes you away from reality and you go to another dimention and etc so it sounded interesting, also the fact that this drug was in every humans brain (also plants and animals) so it makes it natural, its the same feeling you get when you are first born and when you are about to die and smaller effects when you are sleeping every night.
Anyways it sounded intense so I chickened out, i kept reading about it and it just sounded awesome, I told my friend about it and we decided to try it.
As soon as I took the drug it took me few seconds to drop on the floor and forget everything about earth, I mean everything from a family member to my personal belongings to the mere existence of earth. I was in a place that cannot be described as physical, I had mixed feelings, the feeling lasted few minutes until i started shifting between the worlds. As I was appearing in the real world i started regaining my memory with earth, i knew this feeling, it was me being born in the hospital, the shock of me entering another world, only this time I was 23 years old, the feeling was the same but my brain was shocked about the thought of me being in this world for 23 years, having my own car, family members and everything I have achieved during my lifetime. As the effects of DMT was fading away, I felt like the physical world was the dream and I was going back to it, which was temporary and it felt like it wouldn’t take too long before I am done with it.
The world I was in DMT was familiar, felt like I was there yesterday, I experienced the feeling of me being born and I realized this world is fake. Everything in life makes sense.
The religions that most people believe in is not a lie, its just an instruction booklet for us in a way that we can understand, which is to imagine everything in a physical form. Heaven is pretty, hell is hot and evil, god is huge and angels r attractive. This is all the basic explanation for the humans but we took it too far and started having war over which one is right, they are all right in the big picture you just got to ignore the exaggerated details like eating pork is sin and showing your hair to public is a shame. Enjoy your life and be a kind person.
I think that we have a life after this physical dream were in, and that reality does not involve anything that you can see because its not physical, its a soul or energy or what ever you wanna call it and your purpose in life is I reckon probably to discover the answer and enjoy your life. I feel like more and more puzzle pieces are forming together the more I think about life, DMT opened up my brain and now I feel like I cheated the answer and founded by appearing in my reality which is obviously the top secret if all us humans forget it at a very young age.
Enjoy your life guys, but just don’t get too deep and know that its temporary, we are all one and we are in this place together no matter where we are from or what we look like.
I constanly think about how evrything was created or what ever. im not really good with highly intelegent words so im just gona talk like a normaly do. i apologize lol. but anyways i actualy have thought of other ways that i have never even heard of or experienced into why we exsist or how. I just think there is an infinite amount of ways because people keep thinking of diffrent ways and they tell other people and then it goes into that whole telephone game if you know what im saying. people make mistakes so if someone tells them how they thinnk of life and it sounds amusing to them there gona tell someone else but it might not be the exsact words so things get misinturperted. Our minds are very complex things. woulndt you think before you invent somthing you need to think of it first? If this is true then dosnt that mean our minds create evrything. somehow we start out as very basic things. for exsample the car i guess. who ever invented that started with basic things and thought of a way to use those things to create such an advance thing. Ive read some studies on how our mind can possibly run evrything. for exsample our brains cannot tell if somthing is real or fake, so if you see a pepsi can and you looking at it you know its there because you see it right. so if u imagine the same pepsi can ur brain still is sending singnals or w.e as if you were really looking at it. Idk if im making sense its kinda hard to explain while typing this. but i relaly hope some of you comment on this and tell me what you think.
i question my reality because in my dreams i don’t
no, life is not real, we r being simulated in a physical virtual life.
Lovin it.
I’m getting freaked out with all this too. I keep thinking through it over and over again. Could everything just be a figment of my or someone elses imagination? I also recently thought about when we sleep we might leave our bodies to somewhere unreal and return to our souls when we wake up. It’s all very alarming but it’s nice to see I’m not alone… Or am I?
Mike I think you’r on the right track. I think we do leave our bodies when we sleep, we go back to our real world, but when ever we wake up we forget, because our physical brain did not attend to the place we went to, so it doesn’t store up the information we retrieved during that time, therefore we don’t remember doing it. DMT is the only time we can rememeber, because its the time where we are right in between both the worlds, so the brain rememberes it because of the instant swap overs between the information, but even so, it does not take too long before you feel like all this was just your imagination, that is what you call the limitation of our brains, because they are not capable of accepting such information that does not link with the physical world, this means it is not a useful information to store, so our mind starts doubting the mere existance.
heeey Okay I think I am literally going crazy or already have….. I keeo thinking that everything is fake and I just woke up from a transe but my old habits are still keeping up with me. I wish I never thought liek this because it is tearing me apart. really tearing me apart. I keep thinking that I am just amking up everything around me and nothing is real that some how everything is a hallucination. I keep thinking that I am in acomma and will wake-up from this horrible thought. I find myself having troubles concentrating on my life. I feel like Im stuck in this form of life and who I am and when I look back it seems riducles that I have been crying over if my life is real or not cause it must be real…. I couldnt have just made up everything…. I cant just make up my brother, mom, dad and my animals or the house I live in or the trips I have been on or the schools I have attended the friends I have made cant all just be a simulation of my imagination. I feel sick to my stomach and wish that I would just go back to being in the state of transe that I once was in so then I would feel more comfortable in my life and how my life was and will be. I feel like this is all fake there is no laptop in my hand no cat in the corner of my living room licking him self on a chair. No tv that Im watching cause its all fake, Who knows maybe I am just crazy right now … I dont know maybe these senses that I feel are just things that I have made up in my head. I hope not but I think I need to check myself in a mental hospital sometimes.
i think we are all from different dimesnions….ur not real in my dimension and im not real in ur dimension…..its possible
I came across a book almost 3 years ago called, “Busting Loose from the Money Game” by Robert Scheinfeld. It is really how to bust loose from the human game. I have been using the model in this book since I read it. I believe life is a dream. That seems hard to believe logically, but by experiencing it…well, that changes everything doesnt it? For anyone who posted on this site who wants to wake up…I highly recommend this book. It is not so easy waking up, but it is so worth it, and ALL your questions will be answered by you on your journey…as each journey is so individual. This dream becomes so enjoyable and amazing …..
im young and i think that life is a dream because how did life start its like a dream your just in the middle of it and so ;how can we define life it self without knowing what or how it started and i thought about it and its just a dream not our dream but someones and when we die we wake up and we find out the sorce so life can no linger be real to me
I’ve gone through an intellectual chain from systematic belief of everything being like a clock, empty machines, to a spiritually concentrated one (Gnosis) and ended in just plain thought and understanding(Zen). Life is real only in the sense that we can experience it and everything exists only because of thought, if a table was placed in front of you, but you would have no awareness of it being there, it would be just the same as if it wasn’t there. If we weren’t aware of the world, it wouldn’t exist to us, that’s why thought is the only real thing as I see it. And seeing how injuries, especially brain damage, can change the way a person acts, I come to think of this reality as a doorway of manifestation of Consciousness, and the way it interacts with the world is defined through our inner code DNA. It like a collection of do’s and don’t ‘s,
I see it like saying “If I’m invited to a movie: I will accept >if I like the gander of the movie>if I like the person who’s inviting me … and so on :) So basically we all are one mind, just expressed through different views of interacting with reality.
And about the right and wrong stuff, it just isn’t real, we ourselves in history defined what is right and what is wrong. When you consider that, you understand that there is only action, and the right and wrong definition arose from the result being pleasant or unpleasant. But here comes the point, that not all people react the same and what is said to be wrong let’s say a common action in the world like rape would be perfectly right if the rapist would have picked a victim that finds that action to be pleasant. For another example: if we were raised to think, that killing and dieing is perfectly normal and funny, we would see it that way, because we were conditioned to see it that way. So the must come a point in life when you truly begin to see that there is now right and wrong, living badly or fully, it just is and what it is, only depends from what you want it to be. Are you disappointed from because you got cheated by your loved one or that your pet died, in less the one second you can become happy about it if you only want to, just understand that it is an action, a theater play, and pick the moment when you want to stand up and applaud the actors for making you experience the whole play as real experience and remind yourself that it was only a play, no matter what it made you feel sorrow, happiness, love and be thankful for the experience because without the situation you’d never understand what it feels like.
So my view of life is, accept it as a game, death -> game over, pick another one or play it again if you liked it, birth -> game on, live it as you want to live it, if you want to achieve something be it a head of a company or a level 80 character in WoW, if you feel good doing it, then do it, if there were no challenges in life it would be boring, it’s all about striving to achieve what you want, I for example like to relax a lot, stay in my thoughts. I have no reason to think that what I am doing could be replaced by a jump from a cliff that would give adrenalin and excitement, because lying on my bed and flying in my fantasies or just listening to music is enough for me to feel happy and to understand that I am doing it because I want to.
Hope u didn’t get bored ;)
Do what you want to do, because that’s what makes u want to go on :) Life is a stage and it’s magnificent.
I believe life must be a dream because like someone else has said it’s like a dream,you start off your dream somewhere along a journey/story in the middle and you’ve no idea how you got there which is very similar to why nobody can rightly explain how our universe started,it just seems to have appeared and cannot as yet be explained.You can have some amazing dreams and at the point of death you wake up which i believe is the same as our reality now,
we end our lives and expect to die but then wake up in a different level of consciousness within yet another dream,never ending,continuous infinity of forever.I love this subject and there’s so much stuff from people to read about,whichever you believe is real just make sure you enjoy yourself!!
I have been struggling with this concept for the past week or so. I keep wondering whether or not I am actually living in emptiness by myself, simply filled with my projections of buildings and people. What about my family? Are they real? I work hard in school because one day I want to be the best at whatever career I choose. Is all this in vain? Are my friends and family just made up images from my subconscious? I am so confused. I have also been struggling with whether or not Christianity is true, and now this is throwing everything Ive ever thought. Please help.
I founded this subject of ‘are we real’ in 2006 and it really severley depressed me because it just can’t be proven. Life became pointless. It kept me awake through the night and disrupted my whole existence. It depressed me for about 2 years, the birth of my children disengaged my brain from this thought.
Now 6 years on this thought never goes away once you find it, and hell it really is a comfort now! The SHIT of this life ie bills, ill health, death really doesn’t matter because when you realise it, life IS NOT real, it really is an illusion, so now I am enjoying life now because I know it is a fuck up of an illusion! So I can now drink and smoke without any worries!!
Cheers!!!!
I am so glad so many people share some of the things that go through my head daily…..it haunts me really. I thought I was just a tooo deep of a thinker and have suggested my idea’s to friends in drunken debates and they act as if I’m crazyand at times I feel that way. I have thought that my was like a movie and everything is just too constructed from what’s on T.V to the cars going down the road, to the people we meet. this might sound outraeous but the next time you are riding down the road look at the cars around you….They seem like their in their own world while your looking. I know this is my most “far-fetched” idea but I just feel like I have to get these off my chest. I also think that maybe GOD is an “alien” of an intelligent planet and we are just it’s or their creation…like how we use test animals because they are weaker than us, maybe to them we are the “test animals”…even in the bible says that angels appeared from the sky, and had bright lights around them…it could have been “aliens”(really intelligent life-beings) ascending from the sky in their spaceships….I believe they have already accomplished technology and we are slowly getting to their intelligent level but are WAY behind. Scientists found an old cave drawing with what appears to be light bulb…. I believe “aliens” have already invented everything they graduated from robot to us. If they had already invented the light bulb that many years ago that means they are that many years ahead of us in technology. They say the Eygtians could not have possibly inventd or constructed the pyramids considering even today with our technology we could not recreate them…crazy huh…Also another thought that pops in mind is that we are living in Purgatory and we keep living our lives over and over until we get it right….ever had deju vu? i think tha’s why we have that feeling, but like I said these are just my thoughts….anybody ever tthought any of this or am I just crazy???
I have been a “closet intellect” during my entire so called existence. Over that past three years, I have dedicated all, I repeat all, of my time to deep thought (finding real truth). So far through reading all of these comments, I would consider that Ruben Arizpe and Turan explain it best. I have experienced an awakening I believe is really dark and depressing yet brilliant! Everyone (so called normal) is delusional (insane). There is no God. We are all gods of our own being and creation. Our information is transferred through our minds eye (real visual) and energy from our body. Everything else is non existent (crap). Our species that do not know this (vast majority) will never understand why arguments happen (example). It’s because they have already gathered the info from the brain (brainwaves) yet are verbally saying something different. That is why they say, if you are not connected to what you are saying, how will the other? You are on both variables. Titles are what rule us (jobs, names, possessions, HUMAN BEING” Def: any interest or thought based on the ideals of man” being the biggest…. “I’m only human…” It’s a huge barrier. Once you realize your own powers, you will tap into everything that is possible. My biggest question is “Why are we not thinking of defeating gravity?” Our power that creates everything we believed in is possible of doing anything (scary once you are capable of noticing this. It’s like you slow down the brain to see all of what is pixalating. In my opinion, 2012 will be the next evolution. The biggest one yet! When others converse “the world will come to an end” simply means “as we know it. That is the world (my world) I am looking forward to. The world of the awakened and true beings.
A person I would like to call a friend of mine goes by the name of Robin Sharma author of “The monk who sold his Ferrari” (great book) helped me understand what I was actually going through during my dark time and guided me to read “A new earth” by Eckhart Tolle one who has a extreme significant with my thoughts (another great book). My current state is preparation for extending my thoughts at a deeper level and applying them to the universe and what is to come. You must understand that you and me “we” (oneness) are living in a space as we speak. What do you want to do with it???? Forgive me if I am sporadic through my writings, but I could go much deeper than this, deeper than language allows you to. It’s just hard for me to articulate my thoughts onto paper. I invite your thoughts to my writings. Ruben Arizpe, Turan I would really like to connect with you.
The Universe is a body. Planets are atoms and molecules. The sun resembles a nucleus with planets resembling protons and electrons. My Physics is very naive, but you get the idea. What then, are we? The answer? Bacteria. Just look at buildings and the pollution we create. I got this idea form Joe Rogan, the comedian and Fear Factor host, so I cannot call this my own idea completely, all I can say is that I agree with it. Basically, reality is an illusion in the sense that it feel more important to us than it really is universally. Ants for example; I’m sure they think they are smart, they create societies and housing as well. To us, they are dumb, but in their reality they feel important and probably see us as unintelligent evil beings destined to destroy the Earth. Maybe they can’t think at all, but you get my point. So basically, we are insects, or bacteria, whichever makes you feel more special…Our job? Well, it seems our job is to multiply and destroy the Earth and ourselves. We are cancer, we destroy our host and then destroy our only means of survival. Soon, perhaps we will move on to another cell, or planet, only to destroy that planet (cell), and jsut do the same thing over again until we are wiped out. It is for this reason I have decided not to reproduce. A) I don’t want a kid born into such a hostile and screwed up world and B) I don’t have much faith in the human race, or myself, for that matter. I feel the human race is innately evil, we just are delusional to our evil doings and feel like we are fine. This is like serial killers, they feel they are normal and feel no remorse for their victims. Same with us, we slaughter animals, kill forests, etc. We feel no remorse. It’s about survival. So basically, if you want to know what happens to use when we die, the same thing that happens when bacteria or a cell dies. Where does it go? We can find the answers to bigger aspects of the universe by looking at the things that go on within ourselves. Space is space, whether here on this desk or millions of light years away. The principles are all the same and apply in all of space and the universe. I am a universe, you are a universe, and so on. We are all living in some universe, the cells in our bodies are like universes, etc. Just multiple universes. We go wherever our cells go, they too, are energy, Perhaps they are somewhat conscious as well and see their reality as beautiful, while we just see them as shapes moving under a microscope. That is the truth about nature and reality. It just isn’t so magnificent in the grand scheme of things. We are just like insects or cells. If there is no afterlife for bacteria or cancer, why would you assume there would be one for us?
life isn’t real , everything is just a memory , are brain is everything FACT : we feel see , & hear with are brains we process everything up there ! how do we know we are really here and just not nothing imaging everything ( are eyes ears hands everything sends messages to are brains ) a few months ago is when I really started to believe that we are not ” living ” but imaging . and what I hoping is that when we die we finally wake up . I am SOOO lost , I wish I was still blind to this situation !!!
finally u people are waking up ths life as you call it is fake and the only people that can ake you up is yourself maybe once we die we finally are realeased from this simulation
Unfortunately ‘life is real’ and those who rule us do a very poor job of it. The reason we ask this question is very simple. 1) We can’t stand the hatred of other humans, the greed of other humans and the lack lustre ability of those ‘in charge’. 2) Religion is simply a cushion for existence. It came before science and was so powerful at controlling the masses, using fear, it has remained a force today. If we all believed in religion this question would not need to be raised. In future generations we will be seen as we see neanderthals today – evolution is taking us somewhere. Maybe the question should be “will we, as a species, be around long enough to know what the peak of our existence has in store for mankind?”. There is so much to be said…
@Phil P-S: The apex of man is achievable through transhumanism and the harmony of the biological with the technological. The classification of such a progeny species is ambiguous.
What would really blow my mind is if we were to find out that by design, we’re already form of organic technology, as in something more akin to nanotechnology. If this were the case, it would mean that we’ve been physiologically and intellectually incapacitated by design. We could thereby extrapolate that it was never the intention of our creator(s) for us to be anything beyond what we are now.
I believe that the truth of the nature of our existence, whatever it may be, is already known but suppressed from the masses by the ruling elite.
all the people that share the same thoughts, i never told anyone i felt this way because obviously i didnt think anyone was real. now obviously im just wondering if any of you are real, and it goes on and on. the only truth i can offer is that my soul is real, i know because im feeling these emotions. basically i think therefore i am. haha. but it helps to see other people are lost, endlessly searching for the truth like me.. not all shallow just gliding through “life” never thinking. i dont think ill ever find the answers. but it helps me to read this, im still figuring out how. talk to me if you struggle the same as i do, the loneliness i feel may be a fabricated emotion but deep down i feel the hidden desire for someone to convince me this life is real. thanks for posting this.
I totally agree with what all of you said. I’ve been asking myself this question for a while. We all have constructed, built and innovated so much on a very unstable basis. What I mean is that what we see is what our life is. When you close your eyes you have a total different vision of life. So what we see is what we believe but if what we see was not real. If we really “open” our eyes and find ourselves in something much different. Life is a mirror of our fears and desires as one of you said. But what are our fears and desires when there is nothing. Our life is constructed by our fears and desires but before life is constructed what are our true fears and true desires. Deja Vu is this thing where you have the impression to already have lived something. Well how can we explain this case? It’s maybe because we already saw it for we know that will happen only because we are the cause. And destiny, what is destiny. Isn’t it you who is supposed to make your own destiny? Who says that what we think are dreams isn’t real life? What is the good and the bad? For each individual there is a good and a bad. But these differ. And then what is death? Why if our heart stops we arn’t living anymore? WHy is it so fast? Is death an illusion if life is just a dream?
I had all these thoughts and seriously you guys need to realize you need help or your going to end up insane. The thoughts your thinking are delusions. If you guys have a voice in your head that you believe to be you asking all these questions then you’re the ones who are needed to ” wake up “. You all heard about this concept of waking right? well let me put it straight, it doesn’t mean to wake up to any other reality, it means to wake up to the present moment. The only moment we have, to wake up to all of our senses and experience this ride called life. To realize that it is always now and be mindful. You’ve wondered to far into your imagination, maybe you’ve spent to much time alone in fear or researching the wrong things and your mind has been corrupt. As far as we know, we don’t know if god exists or not, and that is the absolute reality. The thoughts in your mind are not you, they are part of you, but you are so much more. I’m not talking about spirit or anything of the sort, I’m talking about how we are genius’s, we have the ability to communicate and love, now that is what’s real and shared between us all. that is reality. But we’re to busy living in other moments to really appreciate the gift we’ve been given. If your thinking about death right now or waiting for death to move onto a better life, you’re already dead.
Buddism and Jon Kabaz’s teaching are a great way help stop your insanity and enjoy your life

82 dec – this conversation should be locked, your post as the last 1.
This self-indulgent pseudo-philosophizing needs to stop. You exist in this reality/plane/dimension for a purpose. Consider the time you spend musing on this ubiquitous “Am I real/who am I?” precept. Now consider what you might achieve if but 50% of this time was allocated towards finding genuine solutions for elevating all of the species on this planet.
All countries are being driven into third world status and several means of depopulation are being used on the international populaces of the world. Our civil freedoms are close to being eradicated. One in four of us going to die from cancer. One in four children will have neurological impairments like autism and ADHD. What’s worse is that all of these problems are deliberated by governments and oligarchs.
About 30,000 children die every day from preventable starvation and preventable disease but the best most of you can seem to do is wallow in self-pity about the uncertainty of your own existence.
We don’t have the right to muse about our existential purpose or lack thereof until we can get things right on the most basic of levels.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?!?
YOUR PURPOSE IS STARING YOU IN THE FACE!
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A child dies of malnutrition every minute you selfishly waste on what will always be perpetual endless introspection.
I’ll close in saying that the most pathetic “spiritualists” and “philosophers” of all are those who still see fit to murder and then eat the dead bodies of our fellow species. Not only is their time spent on philosophizing selfish, it’s discrepant. I’m not saying that all vegetarians/vegans are master spiritualists but I am saying that all adept spiritualists are vegetarian/vegan. I always enjoy watching “the circle of life” argument fall apart when our species are displaced on the food chain. So much for the golden rule, eh?
Hi, again (last post 89). Our brains are evolving every second, we (as a human race) become more clearer about whats going on. It’s absolutely fine to be confused – this just means you know there is more to the life you currently lead, this of course can add a dark place or a brighter place. Control is the key – every single person has a level of control – from blocking out emotions to wanting to rule the world. Society has a tolerence on control, hence control freaks, but nevertheless we all have a certain amount of control. Using control will help you decide on whether to believe if life is real or just a dream – you control your decision. All you have to do is remember that you control your decision, you and you alone, no matter what has been said or imagined. If you ever feel you are losing your mind thinking about this too much then write it down, save it for another day, read it again and see if you still feel the same – if you do then write some more and explore it – don’t let it control you, you control it!!!
we’re just consciousness, that’s it.
I woke up this morning and i felt diconnected from the world. Like I was in a movie or something…. I sometime long for answers that no one can answer… I know something isn’t right I just don’t know what! Maybe the God way is the easy way to go but even then I fell lost.
Yours? mine? Ours? In those questions lies the answer.
Neo are you still there? It’s been three years. To everyone else on here hello.
