Everything we perceive to be is actually part of our sub consciousness. We dream everything.

...if they truly happen, and I don't mean moving 20 cents from pocket to pocket. I mean a fundamental change in the way one views the world. I've been homeless a couple of times and I can honestly say that the first time was a real eye-opener for this 'fortunate son' of the upper-middle class.

"Walk a mile in my shoes" - indeed, or without shoes.

all an illusion.

there was a Nova show that sort of supported this... don't want to get into it much cuz it's really wild - but it reminded me of The Matrix, where we are just basically hologram copies with duplicates in a 2D world... hmm. There are two of us, one real, one not so real.

And blinds you from the truth.

I took both the Blue and the Red pills. There's nothing in either of them.

Where nothing is real and nothing to get hung about?

Lunchtime doubly so.

They are very useful for these times, unless, of course, you happen to have a Total Perspective Vortex on your hands.

but I wonder who could get one to walk...

sP

So I am out of it. Plus I've had too many jinnin tonicksez -- the version in my reality, such as it is with too many jinnin tonicksez.

I've gotta go. I'm a roadie for Disaster Area.

It is all we have.

I presume that this isn't another plunge into solipsism. Nor a dive into a Matrix nightmare.

Pray tell. What's on your mind so that we can all engage? (Hopefully we will be able to keep the furniture throwing to a minimum. That would be my goal.)

Tanks, Winch!

What we sense, think, feel - all subjective.

Everything is technically an illusion - even the concept that we are the same being we were 5 years ago. In truth, the atoms that make up our body would have changed completely over that time period.

Asking a person what the world is really like is like asking a blind person what sight is like.

There's probably so much that we don't perceive, much like a goldfish in a bowl knows nothing about the world around it. We will never know the truth - just continue to live in the bubble of our consciousness.
