blindspott777: heres food for thought
blindspott777: you say that life feels like a dream
blindspott777: You can look at that different ways,
blindspott777: I feel as if u intend for it to fit a literal meaning of an alterante reality type dream similar to that in the matrix.
blindspott777: but arent we all simply living a drean
blindspott777: we are all striving forwards to this dream which we have all created in our minds, all the hopes and aspiratiuons that we hope to achieve. are all just figments of our imaginations which we have fabricated. and we are always living within a dream
flippy10: True, and isn't that dream subject to the perception of our mind?
flippy10: Thats pretty much what I've been trying to say for the longest time. But I still can't put my finger on it.
flippy10: But basically, our world is really a dream. Because our minds perceive the world we live in to be a certain way.
blindspott777: true
flippy10: I mean think about it, vision is interpreted by your eyes upside-down and backwards.
flippy10: Your brain compensates for that.
flippy10: And perceives it to be a certain way.
flippy10: What if nothing is really as it looks like to you?
blindspott777: the brain simply processes sensory information and builds our entire thought process of of it
blindspott777: in essence, all we are is a continuous retrieval and storage of sensory information and how to best minipulate those senses to feel good
blindspott777: its what all human society is based off of. achieving our basic sensory needs
flippy10: Well, more specifically what our brain requires for sustinence.
flippy10: I mean basically, food, water, sex, purpose.
blindspott777: lol
blindspott777: true
blindspott777: in a nutshell
flippy10: But everything humans have created is based upon the basic goals of conquest for our minds.
flippy10: Everything can be traced back to that.
blindspott777: very true.
flippy10: lol.. It's funny I'm just noticing this now.
flippy10: If you can think about your actions in a day, and really look at what the motives behind them were...
flippy10: Like.. everything is influenced by some sort of goal of either the consious or the subconsious.
flippy10: You might not even realize it.
blindspott777: true
flippy10: But decisions you make, have some sort of intent behind them.
blindspott777: and as you said, food, water, sex, purpose
flippy10: Yep.
flippy10: Those are the basic ones.
blindspott777: WHat really interests me
blindspott777: that is hard to explain 2 u kuz uv never done shrooms b4
blindspott777: but
blindspott777: is the "hallucinations" i saw
blindspott777: Because they werent hallucinations
blindspott777: its like
blindspott777: u see the same world, but in a different way
blindspott777: its as if the eyes just perceive everything differently and everything just gets processed differently, but who's to say whats right and what's wrong? because in the end of the day, all it really is, is light reflecting off of solid matter
flippy10: Yep. You're right about that..
blindspott777: lol
flippy10: lol. Irony!
blindspott777: true that
blindspott777: haha
flippy10: It's funny, in our feble attempts to explain our world. We've come across 'scientific' explainations
flippy10: And by that, it's really just a perception of how something functions
flippy10: But it's a perception thats shared by, if not all.
flippy10: And is at the very least, as close running to the truth as possible to attain.
blindspott777: science is great because it focuses upon how everything within the world functions, It's one downfall however, is that it fails to explain WHY everything does.
flippy10: Well, it's unable to do so without straying from the truth and into philsophy.
flippy10: Which is why science and philosophy are parallel in that sense
blindspott777: true
blindspott777: I believe that the way existance works is as foillows
blindspott777: If you look at an ant, You see it scuttling towards it's ant hill carrying a crumb to feed it's queen so that she may provide for the next generations, There is a hierarchy, a system of neccesary roles which need to be fulfilled and each and every little ant is playing their part in maintaining the system in some type of a way. We see life, we see purpose and movement towards the preservation and continuation of life and so we labe lt as a living organism with a certain degree of intelligence. However, we wouyld never expect the ant to fully comprehend why it has the purpose it does, or how the entire web of life works but merely fulfill its purpose in life and die.
blindspott777: however
blindspott777: humans have a tendency to believe that we have some type of supernatural purpose which strays beyond the confines of simple biological existance. However, we are all a part of some larger system which is so much greater than us and that much like the ant in his hill, we will never be able to understand
flippy10: I think thats the winner man.
flippy10: We are graced with a higher understanding than the ant.
flippy10: However, we will never truly comprehend the web that we are tangled up in.
blindspott777: exactly
blindspott777: and so the best we can hope for is to simply live out ur purpose and attempt to savor every second of life which we are blessed with.
blindspott777: or atleast thats my conclusion
blindspott777: others can choose to see things in their own way
flippy10: I can easily agree with that. At the very least, I will enjoy my time and do as much as I possibly can.
blindspott777: yup yup yup
blindspott777: and as you know with me, leave behind a legacy in the people whom you are able to influence. Family and friends, or anyone who a part of who you are is able to become embedded within.
blindspott777: for then the person who you are, regardless of physical form, will forever live on through your beliefs and loves
flippy10: And will live within the chain of people that you've affected with your influence
blindspott777: yup.
There was alot more to the conversation, but my point (and my guest's) was displayed fluently in this part.
