Realitiy of Existence

What is reality is it all an illusion.


  • It's all the same

    I too have wondered whether or not we the beings of Earth exist. There is no way for us to know that we solidly and physically exist on this planet. I am not saying that God does not exist, but think, is it not entirely impossible that he does not? He could also be an illusion and therefor unable to have created us. Life and the world as we know it and everything in it could be one huge dream...but does it matter if we're all a dream or not. We could all be living in a dream, but as long as it feels like life to us, then we do in a sense still exist.

  • Surely an Illusion

    If you are to believe that the bible is correct, then we are in fact an illusion, It clearly states that in the begining there was void, therefore nothing exdisted outside of God , who was an eternal consciousness extending for ever in all directions, there was nothing, no matter in which to create from, we then exist only in the mind of God, nurons so to speak flowing in the consciousness of himself, If he stops thinking on us , then we are not.

  • The illusion of Existence

    I have had some profound thoughts but can they be considered philosophy? I do not know. What I do know is that they have often scared the hell out of me. For at some points I have perceived the truth of my existence and it is quite frightening to say the least. Some nights I wake up and realize that everything, my existence and everyone around me is an illusion. I wonder at the reason for any of it. All of this is just what is conceived in the mind.

    It makes me wonder are there people we label as insane really insane or have they realized the truth and are unable to carry on with the illusion anymore.

    Our souls are trapped on this plane and project on object reality and in order to interact with them and the other souls trapped here we project the illusion of our bodies that sense this reality even though it is not ours. After this trial we must endure has ended our souls will be released to our true plane of existence where we can be free to understand what we had forgotten.

  • Existing Or Not?
    I don't see how we could not exist. Even if we do not physically exist, we exist in some form or another. For example, if we exist only in someone's dream, then we exist in that person's mind. If we are only the products of our own imaginations (though I' not sure that would work), we exist as figments of imagination. We might not be solid, physical beings, but we do exist.

  • Its Your Choice
    Can You fly?
    You probably said "no".
    I met a man in an asylum who "flew"
    He would run around the room with his arms spread out saying "hey look I can fly."
    I could see that he could not fly, but he didnt see that...
    He was so convinced in his mind that he could fly that to him, he was flying. Reality is only what people tell us that it is. If you were raised calling what we consider to be "yellow", "blue", than to you, it would be simply "blue". You can do whatever you can beleive 100% in.
    Half the battle in accomplishing anything is the mental aspect... You have to force yourself to beleive without a doubt that you can fly, and than you can fly...
    The point is that if you beleive without a doubt that this is all fake, than it is... Your mind will re-create reality...
