life help: Slight Reality Check Required Here! - Help.com

meh. there are many many theories. i dont see why this one cant be valued the same as the others.

ok thanks

If you are all that exists than I am not real, is there ever a truly logical way to negate the existence of other? outside of murder of course. I think therefor I am … could you possible think all your own thoughts and everyone elses?

“I think, therefore I am.”

If it was just your brain/thought making everything real to you, others would not be able to think as well, whick some can.

i can imagine what they are saying, not what they are thinking.

or think about this. Things happen in this world that you have never seen/heard of/know of/ or can possibly imagine, so there is no way they come from you.

i think that science is very complicated, and many scientists would disprove what you are saying, i guess its just beyond me lol!

ok ok i do understand what ur saying, it cant be disproved exactly if u think about it. but are many ways in which it can. and even if it were true there is nothing you can do about it

i dont think you get my point, your restricting my question to an induvidual being controlled. what i am asking is whether EVERYTHING is in your imagination…

I get exactly what you are saying… what if everything, including the people around me and their actions, are figments of my imagination and i am alone.

I’m just saying, i know people think, because they can create things i could never imagine in my wildest dreams.

if your not complaining, then why are you questioning it exactly,
i just think you should make the most of your life, live every day to full and most of all enjoy it, as you dont know when it going to end

hey read my comment it finally made it through customes hehe

plus if it was all you would you ever imagine someone hassling your thoughts or researving your speech. Think about it would you be where you are, who you are if you were doing the mind of all that is you could imagine yourself whoever you wanted to be … if you want to believe that no one has meaning in this world except you then I fear you will find everything meaningless.

ahh… the proof is there why would you block yourself?

besides by your logic it’s just as probable you don’t exist and are therefor in my imagination.

heres the thing you can consciously reason that you exist by the mear fact that you can reason at all.

because I can think differently than you the fact I have free will gives credence to my existence. That my thougts are unforced and subject to change shows it is not a concrete rule of thinking and therefor illistrates the uniqueness of each individual. while we are obviously all connected we are never exactly the same.

yea but all that youve said could just be some jumble that has appeared in my concious thoughts… (thoughts isnt the right word but you know what i mean)

But its not. I know i think, and i know you think differently. It would not be possible for one person to think two different ways(or 6 billion ways) at the same time. I can’t think for you,you cant think for me. That would be like tryng to float and sink at the same time. Two opposites can not be done by one individual in one instant. Therefore, we are both real.

whatever you know what 1,000 other theories could be just as true my advise is to study them all before you decide but hey if you wanna take your chances on this one be my guest. Let me tell you exactly this if all you put thought on is negating the actual thoughts and feelings and actual personage of those around you. you are missing one of lifes greatest blessings and curses … entertaining thoughts not your own.

some will teach you, some will annoy you, some will inspire you, some will hurt you that’s life. It seems to me no offense but you are tunnel visioning your thinking here. latching on to one truth and dramatizing it so as to disfocus the rest. There is something you really want to discuss here and I don’t think it’s as impersonal as an old theory since discussed this same one with my ex husband late one night about 10 years ago.

you can not be of two opposite minds with yourself and stay sane so if you are some crazy mad ‘god’ who created this entire world then I demand you never disagree with me again for I am the mind of god. when science and religion meet and ego is removed you will always find truth.

I have to wonder what it matters? So what if you are all that exists? Would anything as you now know it change? You could have some fun creating your own reality if that was the case. Oh wait, I already do that..it is fun! :)

……….. this is a point of view that has been alluded to by many…. When I think of it I think of it as I am not all that exists, but I am part of one super consciousness that we all stem from, you see. Like all the religions, all the points of view are all right because they are all part of the same even if it is contrary to what a different part of the consciousness…. just my take
