:)) good one, Devil.
First of all I don't think it's necessary of any religious construct for existence of humans.
To put it plain and simple: inteligent life is the result of many evolutionary steps: try and fail, try and fail, etc...after billions of iterations some cell found a good environment. It becomes a complex cell. And then another billion iterations.
What I can say with sufficient belief: I exist. In a human form for the moment. I don't know about other existence. I am a insignificant representation of life in a ordinary posible Universe. All posibilities coexist, of course. And I'm very limited. Not only biologicaly.
Cheers.
One thing that makes me think otherwise, is the attitude of children about life. You would think, if this was some sort of accident, a freak occurrence of nature, that children would be aware and asking questions immediately. What is this place? What am I? Why am I here?
They don't generally ask these things. Not until much later when given enough provoking thought on the subject throughout their lives.
Why do you suppose that is? Is it because they intuitively know this is a preprogrammed matrix? A game, of sort?
The cinical answer: they are not enough developed in the beginning. In the first months, years they are monkeys. Just live like small animals that are not aware of themselves.
Second answer: in the first months they don't close "the third eye", the intuition is like an ordinary sense for them. Like smell. They "smell" the fabric of the reality.
Are these 2 responses contrary to each other ? I like both.
Not even sure that I can say that I exist ... solipsism for the win.
Solipsism is a lonely place. But the viewpoint isn't entirely without merit. One cannot determine for certain others truly exist. Surely, you should be able to determine that you exist, however. What is non experience, but the purely unknown and unknowable?
mind game, mind game ...it's just another game. As our existence can be seen: a funky game.
:))) forgot about solipsism. I always like this psychological approach but it's just a game of my mind, of course.
Our mind can generate reality within reality within reality...infinite loop, layer after layer.
I think meditation can break this game. We could find nothing, the simple and beautiful nothing after we lose more and more layers. :)
I try not to seek after nothing, but rather it finds me.
Sounds nice, like eastern philosophy. Or Donald Trump (joke).
