A thread about nothing

I want to tell you all something that means a lot to me,
because I feel it's so close to everything that is
happening.

I have the feeling something isn't right about reality, and
my existence. I can't quite place it though.
It's just the more I think about it, the more it doesn't
make sense that I'm here, and that the world is like this.
I think in some ways, everything is some sort of lie. Maybe
by everyone else, but maybe not, maybe they are in this
too.
What I do know is everything they teach us in science class,
and I've read by myself. Big Bang, evolution of species,
evolution of the planets, fucking quantum particles and
atoms, molecules, in a way it all makes sense right?

Yet at night, I always dream of other people turning into a
big monster, a big monster that looks like some kind of
wolf, and that he's following me.
I also dream that this wolf is the key to everything, or at
the very least a portal, to this world that I do not know
exists.
A world maybe I was a part of before, but no longer am.
Maybe I even agreed to enter earth, but won't remember until
after I'm dead and go back to the earlier world, where
everything will make sense again. But at the same time it's
scary because maybe he can pull me down into a dimension
only he knows about, and then the gods can't save me even.

I think all this is in many ways a side effect of my entire
history here, and the way my brain has processed information
since I was little, but in some ways I still feel there are
mysteries that do not make any sense, even without an
answer.
My life is actually pretty good, yet I feel like this, and I
feel it is more fundamental than alienation, anxiety,
paranoia or any other human emotion.

Yes indeed, it is very confusing,

it sounds like you need to talk about death a bit, cx

you will enter the core of your being following what you
call "death" in order to re-establish your identity. you
will move through the spiritual realm and through that
process come to know again who and what you are. you will
return to the core of your being prior to what you call
"birth" to recreate your identity anew, in the next grandest
version of the greatest vision you've ever held about who
you are. that is, you elevate your experience and expression
of self, moving it to the next level. this is what you call
evolution. you live your life in the physical world, that
you will know your self in your own experience. reentry into
physical life - and extremely "dense', heavy existence
compared to what you had just embraced will produce a loss
of the full identity you had established. this is by design.
were you to know the fullness of it you could not experience
it in any of its parts - and that is precisely what you have
come to the physical world to do.

I want to clarify something though.

I don't actually literally mean down into another dimension,
that was my attempt at creating an analogy.
My anxiety, my paranoia, my insecurity, my wariness, those
are all the wolf.
And I feel if I follow it I will go into a hole of isolation
and general bad stuff. But it also has the power to take me
forcefully, many times.
I do feel I'm better off living a bit simpler, a bit more
basic maybe.

Either way, this thread was the cause of a dream I had,
which knocked me a bit over since it was so vivid. I woke up
now and back to normal :P

whatever you do, don't smoke crack.

but i know what you mean, it's all internalized though, like
inside YOUR head because it's what YOU are feeling, just
like everyone else,

when someone's always happy/calm or not mentally unstable,
they CHOOSE to see the world as a happy/calm/fine place,
with mostly happy people, and if someone they come across
isn't like that, well it's really just their problem.

i don't rely on a scale to see where people fit in, like
they're happy or sad or confused or paranoid or whatever, i
look to se if they are being truthful or dishonest about
themselves, and i do this most about myself as well,
constanlty trying to be a better person.

what it really comes down to is, i bet, you're just changing
and your "reality" is going to change naturally, and you
will just be different, but you'll always still be the crazy
wierd normal animal human being that you are anyway,

just look for the big picture in things

thank you dude.
it's becoming apparent to me my brain is doing a lot of
stuff I have no control over, and that this saturates
everything around me in many ways.
the odd thing is the mind doesn't know it many times, thus
you believe it.

when this "work" is done (it is intended to be a totally
joyful experience, as is your experience in the afterlife),
you "die again", once more entering the core of your being
in order to reestablish the fullness of your identity. you
reemerge and move through the spiritual realm to express who
and what you are in fullness through knowing. you return to
the core of your being prior to what you called "birth" to
recreate your identity anew, in the next grandest version of
it. you give your self birth and live your life in the
physical world AGAIN, that you might know yourself in your
own experience. when this "work" is done, you "die again",
once more entering the core of your being in order to
reestablish the fullness of your identity. and then guess
what? youll then move through the spiritual realm and
through that process come to know again in fullness who and
what you are. you return to the core of your being prior to
what you called "birth" to recreate your identity anew, in
its next grandest version. you give your self birth and live
your life in the physical world, that you might know
yourself.


birth and death is just attenuation man, if you are afraid
to live and afraid to die you are not seeing things for how
they really are. and the truth is, in MY opinion, youve put
everything there. its all creations of your own

yes you need to start accepting things in reality, as cheesy
as it sounds, we are all on a private journey of self
discovery, we use language to try to communicate in many
ways, but there are things we can't communicate, that's
normaly why we sometimes feel isolated and confused. as i
got older i started realising that you cant push things too
far in your mind, you'l end up tilting out and getting more
down. try to free your mind a little and appreciate the
simple things in life and be grateful that you were chosen
to exist out of the billions of other ghosts that didn't
make it here.

Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing you even exist.
Everything you know is second hand information, every scrap
of knowledge you reference was put there. How do you know
the sky is blue and the grass is green? You don't. Words are
symbols. You have invested everything in symbols, yet the
word is not the thing.

It doesn't matter if you think about this for one minute or
every minute of every day, you are no nearer knowing how
much of this is real. Thought has destroyed you, everything
about you has become twisted and falsified by your so-called
culture. Perversely, that is the only think you have in
common with every other human being.

hah yeah

didn't albert einstein point out that the physical world is
just illusion or perception, and nothing is really real in
terms of being, here or there?

but this is all why i don't think about
society/sociocultural issues have any reason anymore, it's
just another way to attach yourself to other "problems" that
really arent there, and just a side effect of our actions
and feelings toward each other

i love everyone and myself

but i mean if you imagine we were born in a controlled
environment, with no language, no clothes, just us as naked
human beings, we would live as animals would, and probably
alot closer to alot of "thoughts" we want to have, instead
of the ones we don't want to be having.

my big question is why music (of any generation and genre)
affects/effects us so greatly, and why we can relate to it,
and understand it, but no other animals can, atleast not
musical structures and compostions (i know birds bascially
sing)?

other animals don't even care about music it seems, or they
can't identify it .
so is music then bad for us in our search for evolution, as
it furthers the thought processes?

simply put, the physical world is concrete, while perception
is plastic.

objects exist without emotional attachment. emotional
attachments arise in the subject; these are conditioned to a
large extent by social and cultural norms.

naturally, the biology of a living thing is the means for
communication between object and subject, or for that
matter, subject and subject. it follows that one's
perception is also conditioned by physical experience.

so, reality is merely the state of things being. objects
exist independently of individual subjects. subjects may
also exist independently of objects or other subjects;
however, this does not suggest that a subject void of
experience or presumption has a more accurate perception of
reality.

the argument is made that reality is invalidated by plastic
experience. it's important to note that all of the
relationships between subjects and objects are 'real': they
do exist. once again, the main distinction lies between the
plasticity of thought and the concrete nature of the
physical world.

sounds right, but then there's the movement and life in all
things, whether you think something, an object, is not
moving, it is just because of how far physically you can
percieve things, everything is moving at a molecular level,
and beyond that are an infintely equal amount of
possiblities involving the movement of things. so just
because you think an object is "There," you are right, but
to say that is an object is not a fact, right?

Music only has any meaning because it is given meaning by
thought. As far as the human body is concerned, there is no
musical difference between Beethoven and the grunting of a
pig.

In both cases, the ear is just picking up vibrations, that's
all they are. It is thought that is translating that it
something that you consider to be meaningful.

Animals act on pure instinct, they don't have thought from
which to translate sound and put it into some sort of
cultural perspective. Music, as we like to call it, has it's
rightful place in other animals - entirely meaningless and
purposeless.

You are taught to appreciate music, taught how to refine
what you're listening to just as you are taught to drive a
car or how to behave in social situations, or whatever -
that is what gives it some form, a place in culture.

That's why having an opinion on music or saying this music
is better than that music is entirely redundant. How can one
idea be better than another when idea are not based in any
sort of concrete reality and everything you know is based on
preferential symbolisation?

absolutely, to state that something 'is' is a function of
the subject. those things exist independently of the
subject, perhaps in quite a different way to how they are
being perceived.

in turn, it would be incorrect to describe an individual
perception as being untrue. as you suggest, one may behold
'part' of the truth. on the other hand, one's perception may
be partly distorted, but nonetheless, based upon real
things.

point where you can stop yourself from being agitated with
