GENIUS FORUMS

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS;/? 666

It'll be time to say goodbye if you post stuff like this.

What's your philosophy Dan, general take on awareness, dreams, illusion?

I think I killed your forum by the way.

You'd need to say what those terms mean to you for us to discuss it properly. I don't know what a dream is, really (other than the conventional sleep based ones). Illusions don't exist. i.e. things are neither real nor illusory. To suggest either thing - in the context of ultimate reality - is to be caught up in a false duality.

Conventional thinking Dan. I think it takes practice to make up a few words drawn on paper. I'm talking about truism. The light switches and everyone in the audience is laughing at you only they are laughing with you.

This is the absolute!z

Are you capable of saying anything that makes sense? So far it appears not.

Dan, I will try to clarify.

Illusion meaning that our experiences of the world, body,movement, are made up of transient feelings and sensations, that objects have as much "existence" as objects in a dream, (things existing only in what is seen of the mind), in other words, "matter" being made up of the same "stuff"(experience) as the walls in your dream.

"neither real nor illusory"

Yes they are definitely as real as they have ever been, illusion is only referring to the objective world being like a vision or projection, existing only in what is seen.

The question is on your take on awareness or the answer to "What am I?", would you say what is aware of Dan is independent of Dan? That awareness is just part of the illusion and appearances, or, that upon death what is aware of you ceases to be and no longer experiences?

My take is that the world is a lot like a dream and that my individual awareness is only an appearance, that what is aware of me is the same that is aware of you.
