Why is it so hard to believe "reality" doesn't exist within your own mind? Do "trees" have to "really be there"? I mean, tree is merelt a conception, a collection of ideas projectied onto whatever variation of color and shade you are percieving taken apart and interpreted by neurons in your brain. Your "reality" is merely electrical impulses reiggered by chemicals from either outside or within your body. We are all a collection of atoms, matter, which is merely condensed energy into little vibrations. So really, everything is energy, and we are but machine that interpret and "willfully" interact with it. It moves through us all, it binds us, seperates us, imprisions us, controls us, and enlightens us. It is baffeling how people speak of reality and truth with so much confidence and ignorance. How people spout truth claims, much like i am now, but without doubt or knowledge of their own follies. The words "God", "Reality", "cool", "love", and "truth" are all used casually without the tremendous mystery behind the mere sematics they are familiar with. Can you prove you exist? Of course, you think right? "I think therefor i am!" Hogwash. If it is true that your mind is a byproduct of your brain, then these oh-so-sacred thoughts are nothing but chemical reactions that can be triggered, manipulated, or ceased without regardless of what is thought. To see distinctions or differences is both human nature and human illusion. This is an age old truth. All that stands between you and are causes and the time necessary to enact these causes. This here is a cause and thus a connection. You being here with me and reading this blog are one in the same. Don't let space and time blind you. How are we any more together or apart based on space and time? We have merely moved our groupings of matter closer together through the other, penetrable matter, but are we really closer? Are we ever really apart? This sounds like spiritual rambling mumbo jumbo, but i'm not speaking of one connected soul through god. I am speaking of the actual, physical connection between you, i, the stars, the earth, thus computer, my dog. It is all a system, a binding. This does not necissarrily mean there is purpose to it. Not unless you want there to be. It just is. You can call this connection God, physics, biology, chemestry, spirituality, whatever word gets you off. The point is we're all aiming for the same thing, we all are the same thing. So where does this leave us? Nothing has changed ( ok everything has, and is constantly changing, but you get the point). It means what you want it to. Blow me off, be marveled, question me, do whatever. It doesn't change a thing.
