| User | Evil Jesture | | Topic | Reality? | | Message | Here is a thought for you to think about.
Reality it may be strange for all of us to think on it. What is your true perspective on which the reality in which we live in. Are we just part of some dream in which the sleeper wakes we all come to no longer an existence. Or are we asleep and see another reality among us. And when we sleep we are actualy awake. Or does it come in a religios prefernce. I want to see what wacky ideas you can come up with. I wont even list half of mine until I see some of yours. And think and question what if we are apart of an existence that does not even exist but controlled by something or someone else |

| User | dismentled | 2006-10-13 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Dreams? Idk about that. The more one dreams, the more shatterd dreams seem to pile up. One of the reasons I hate sleep. If I can’t dream, how can I be disapointed when it falls to pieces? Reality sux, sure; no argument there. But what’s worse taking the world for whatever it is, or conning yourself into believing it’s something it’ll never be? As long as Humans are alive ther will be war! There waill be famine, misery, and corruption! Man is slave to one’s own imperishable "dominance" I think Collio put it "power is the money, money is the power, minute after minute, hour after hour". We will always posses an insationible greed for things inept; in the full circle of exhistance. "a little knowledge is dangerous; so is alot"-Einstein. The more we "know" the further we divulge into undetermined inadequacies. We will always be a pawn to the player, even if the one holding the chess piece is you! |

| User | Blue Monk | 2006-10-09 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | What most people call reality consists only of what they can discern through their brain by using their five senses. This is of course, limited to being awake to detect such reality. It’s not too difficult to imagine a dream could also be detecting a reality, using senses which are only paid attention to by the brain while the others are at rest.
We do know that the brain is easily fooled at times, even by what may seem to be coming from the five physical senses. Hallucinations can be of a nature that affects any of the senses while you are awake, while dreams can be so vivid as to not tell them from reality until the "pinch me" comes. So where is the line of "reality" drawn?
Psychics, mental patients and the like (you sort them out) appear at least to themselves to be capable of detecting things beyond what is physically discernable to the general populace. Whether this is a time distorted vision (telling the future, etc.) or a perception of such other things on the edge of our own abilities, it would indicate that it is the mind in question at work that is doing something different, convincing itself of an extended reality.
So, the real question is how much of it is real? To a known mental patient, there is for him or her no way of telling. It has been said that one in three persons have some kind of mental "problem". Could there be more, who knows? Consider that one of every three persons making that assessment are apt to be in that boat as well.
Sweet dreams! |
| User | dismentled | 2006-10-04 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Well here’s a couple thoughts; It’s believed that If you die in a dream you die in "real life" so on that note if this was a dream, wouldn’t we in actaullity die anyways? And what about all the "insane" people, what if there the only ones that know what’s "true" and because it’s different than the majority they are hence considered "insane" Reality, it seems is nothing more than a collaborated perception of the ruling nummbers based on the "majority rules" philosiphy. Where even if you are right, if there’s more that believe you’re wrong, than they’ll continue going on as if you really are/were wrong. |
| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-10-03 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | How about this...
What if when we die, we’re only waking up from a dream, and all of the people we knew and loved, never even existed.
*tox* |

| User | alteredlife | 2006-09-21 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | But if you were to ask me I would say that nothing is fact because it can’t be proven beyond our five senses... and that any theory which can’t be disproved is just another facet which we’ve only scratched the surface of. Big Bang, Creationism... both can’t be disproven, but both are essentially theories which can’t be proven either. Hence, a revolving door policy where no-one really knows a damn thing... but we can guess.
Not much of an answer huh? Sorry :( |
| User | alteredlife | 2006-09-21 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Isn’t this like one of ’The Questions’? To answer you would be like trying to list all the various religious dogmas and quantum physics theories out there... which would take you a million years to read through, if not longer (say... infinity?). So, um, this was kinda pointless of me saying this, but hey... |
