Quote:This is hard to put in words, but I'll do my best. In some ways I feel I am surpass mentally compared to others, yet emotionally and experience less. I have time on my side, yet how much time do I really have?
I think I know what you mean. I believe you are like me in that you question life and you look deeper than other people. I'd suggest you watch The Matrix again, that movie is amazing in how it parallels the real world. I think some people are caught up in this fabricated reality and aren't willing to step outside and look at the truth. You are a free thinker and aren't held down by society's conditioning and belief system, others can't or won't choose this path.
Quote:** I am having difficulty with my reality. Why am I here? How does this world exist? How do I operate in my own little world, while jointly being connected to 7,000,000,000 others who are capable of the exact same circumstances? If everything is made up of energy, what is the difference between my wooden chair and this computer? If my conscious life is a more stable reality vs. my more chaotic dream patterns, how do I fashion my reality to become exactly the way I want it? How do I do what is deemed impossible to second-nature?
I can totally relate to that. I've often pondered about the universe and how we think of our lives as so important, but Earth is so insignificant compared to the vast universe. When you really think about this stuff you realize that there are bigger things going on and some things that we may not even be aware of yet. We have the ability to be conscious and yet people choose to stay within their limited reality instead of branching out and exploring the unknown.
There is the theory that we are merely our brains and we try to justify our existence as much as possible, when in reality we are nothing. However, I've never been one to jump to an absolute conclusion. How could you when there still isn't enough proof? All I know is I am open to any experiences in my life and I never say never to anything. But if it turns out life has no meaning, I'm fine with that too. Life is essentially a gift given to you everyday and enjoying it to the fullest is the best thing we could possibly do.
