The Irony of wanting to understand a world you don't believe exists...

Buddhism doesnt teach that nothing exists though. It is meant in terms of delusion, in that what you are thinking about, for example a person, probably isnt true and is therefore a delusion. Any person you see approaching you is just an idea.

Reality is not thought, or imagined. Reality has been there before you could learn to think.

Indeed. Well put, also.

Excellent line of thought.

The map is not the territory.

Reality - is there (or is it?) and we interact with it.

Our thoughts shape a wake (like bow shock) with it...and we interact with the cosmos. Which everyone else is also interacting with. At some point it is connected. Instantly.



In more ways than most perceive.

Hence (ergo) lol - there is a world of thoughts that some are connected to as much as the physical world is there for others.

In actuality - it is like that all ways - just some aren't tuned in as much.

If you take that in duality mind - you might be offended.

If you don't, you might comprehend.

Understand the sandbox/hypervisor and find an exploit.

If you don't work on understanding the sandbox/hypervisor (the world you don't believe in, but are clearly bound by) How on earth do you get operator status on the system?

If you break sleep and wake up, show them, they will follow.

Build it and they will come...

How much do they get and how much do you loose from this experience? If you knew yourself, how happy would you be about this unagreed arrangement wholly reliant on your participation?

This wisdom alone describes the scope of failure of any virtual reality, scientific or not.

Bodhi Sita could you make clearer for myself the title of this thread please?

The Irony of wanting to understand a world you don't believe exists...

It is enigmatic and I am wanting to understand what you are stating. Particularly the " wanting to understand a world you don't believe exists " part. Thank you.

The literal interpretation of a term has potential because of what its very definition implies.

But sometimes it doesn't because well that's just a term within the field of terminology. Not to be taken in actuality. But sometimes literally.

What determines the assign value of a particular term and its potential? Whatever suits you in that moment, whichever it is that is most convenient.

Another popular choice is, is it after or part 4 PM? - 333/666/999

Do you find there is something you don't understand...that perplexes you...no model makes sense.

Yet you are unwilling to ponder the unknown?

The uncharted territory.

Or perhaps something you don't have direct experience with, yet others do.

Do you think they are lying because you can't replicate it?

Some people discount Sensitives because they themselves do not experience sense like they do.

I do see why this could be interpreted many ways.

Because it is happening all around us.

Your title is baffling.

I guess it is referring to those who are so involved and addicted to computer games that they then claim the real world is also just a game and not real. There are many such threads and videos claiming that there is no true reality.

I don't know either, everything exists the bit you have to wrap your head round is it's all inside you not outside, for example my soul is projecting an image of myself, the horse I am riding and that horse has a brain and eyes which project the universe, is the universe really there? Of course it is or I wouldn't be that's why Jesus said if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you could say to that mountain move and it shall be.

I am conscious therefore wtf

If we hang Madonna, everything will make sense.
