and sure we have complex experience of it
but ultimately
it is just experience
Nothing more
so we aren't seperate
me and you are the same thing
The same experience
Different brains with different data
but ultimately its an illusion we are seperate
Now thats just an experience
But a thought provoking one if nothing more
try to imagine experience without thought
Didn't Alan Watts say something like we are the universe experiencing itself?
Yeah he did
Would you consider it to be true?
I believe it to be.
Well I also used to practice a lot of meditation
As do I. With music mainly.
So yes that in my experience seemed to reflect a possible truth
but who knows
You have to see for yourself I guess
Hmm I can understand that experience. And relate to it in a sense.
Yes its a surprisingly familiar one when you have it
I like to acquire as much knowledge as I can. Which is why I enjoy deep philosophical discussions such as this.
Yeah hey,
yeah well it certainly helped me overcome my own nihilism
If I was a nihilist I'd still play the game and stand by my morals for sure.
Just in case I was wrong.
Real nihilism is pretty painful
For who? The self or others?
Or both?
I find true nihilism pretty sad.
to really contemplate meaninglessness
is quite painful
the condition of the heroin user
I wouldn't find it painful to be honest.
Well the human condition is painful
In what sense?
We suffer emotions, delusions, sickness, age, death
