You know, I guess I'm struggling. I'm speaking to you 'truth seekers' out there. I've been one of you for a long time and am still one, it's just that it's getting harder for me. What if this is all it is? Maybe I'm just trapped in the box. Maybe a crazy psychedelic drug to free my mind again. Maybe it's all in my head anyhow.

I want there to be more, I believe there's more. I just find myself here in reality day to day more then not and believe what I see. I understand there's more but it's been a while since it's revealed itself to me

What is a reality but a shared conclusion based on the thoughts of yesterday? Create the reality of your own inspiration. Be a conscious creator.

We all find ourselves in boxes of our own making. The work isn't out there. The work is freeing yourself from the limiting beliefs, the self doubt, the undeserving at play in our own minds.

And know... The only difference between the life of your dreams and where you are now is the direction you are facing most of the time.

We've all been facing more upheaval the past few years ...a shaking up of the status quo. I have friends who believe that this is all there is who are living perfectly content lives feeling no distress whatsoever.

Why is that? Because they are living in line with who they created themselves to be. If you are feeling discontent or disillusioned it is because you know there is more and the larger part of you has already become it. Where there is distance between who you are living and the you your have become vibrationally, you don't feel good.

What have you become that you are not allowing yourself to be? Be it and your life will be magical again.

I appreciate your response ArtGurl. I agree we create the reality we live in.

Sometimes I wonder though if my reality is the same as yours. Maybe I created this one. As arrogant as that may sound, you never know.

There is an objective reality that is whether you believe in it or not. The irrrationalists try to twist the natural world into their own social construct so they will use phrases like, "well, that's your opinion" when you are in fact stating an objective fact. Of course they are those people who create for themselves a little illusion of the world in their head. They will have a complex ideology and a dogmatic belief in it to make it appear real. They will scream and shout and be angry with anyone who threatens their view and they will resort to tactics like censorship and slander to silence those who speak an objective truth. Often large groups of such people will come together in a communal delusion.

Okay, so there's an objective reality we all are a part of, you say. My reality differs from yours though. I've never met you, I've never seen you, I don't know for sure you even exist. This is my reality, remember? I did read your post so you must be here for a reason.

Does life revolve around me or am I actually human. Am I only, only one of you?

It's only your own doubt holding you back. Even when think some stuff is other people's fault, we are the only one who can choose what we do? :thumbsup:

My question is more of, do you actually exist if this is my reality I've created in my mind? Do I exist in your imagination? It may be your world I'm a part of.

Like, I've heard the possibility of alternate universes. What if we each create our own?

Don't know much Art Gurl but your picture is pretty stunning. There, that is my philosophy thus far.

Your reality is not the same as mine and you did create yours. :wink:

If you wish. But yours will probably do a much better job in your own Youniverse.

That's what I'm struggling with and my point of this topic. Who's reality is real?

They all are. But the only one that matters is yours. We share space in each other's movie but it is but a thread in the fabric.

This collective reality is just an agreement and it is old news.


Stay in the question. Answers always limit possibility.

the universe exists. we are but a small part of it. we are
part of its reality. now, life, life requires participation. if
we get hung up on 'is this all there is', then i say you aren't
living it. you are just allowing it to happen to you. this may,
and i say that gently, be all there is, but damn, it is enormous.
if you are truly living and you are always find a peace within yourself,
it wouldn't really matter even if it was.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

Wow. You threw me a good one there. shocked laugh. This is a difficult one to answer. I think we all have our own world. We can still be part of other people's, too. Our mind allows us to create that world.


Just noticed that it's mostly us art fans answering this thread. All the art fans in one thread drinker
