I just had a thought and wondered /x/s thoughts on it. What if we are all each other? What if we are just living in different bodies and having different experiences? So if you talk to someone else, they are literally you on the other end, living a different or parallel life?
That's actually exactly how it works. We're basically a giant hivemind. You're not the first to reach this realization. The point we're stuck at is: with this knowledge, what do we do now?
thats deep
What if life is an illusion?

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather.”
we're all different souls, dont let them trick you
That's the idea behind the story The Egg

There is a paradox of separation and unity.
Don't fool yourself.
>dude like "what if.."
>>17617511
I don't have the hive mind brainwashing, I have always felt different from other people.
>>17617491
ding ding ding
you may like "The Book", it talks about what you're mentioning
ok so, the way i figure it, this idea is a psychological trick to get you to think you are other people, so the trickster gets you to align with his ideas, and why not right? because you"are him" and he "is you"

>>17617491
we're all just different windows for the universe to observe itself through.. when one closes, it just looks through another one
So I had this thought on how there can be a "soul"
On how we live forever
How we are all connected
And how we are all God.
Wanna hear it?
I would type it out now, but I fear it'll be a waste, with no one being in the thread.
>>17617547
Then we are all fools.
There is only one person. "He" is spread out like a continuous wave across all the receptor nodes aka individual humans which no nothing except the inside of their own self they cannot see the outside.
>>17618820
Yes but we all still have free will
>>17617491
You're just realizing this? You are the universe experiencing itself.
>>17617597
Souls within the same absolute thought.
>>17617635
On the other hand, I hope that we are not. Because I do not wish to be this cuck.
>>17619623
free will doesn't exist
>>17617491
>What if we are all each other?
I think you're on to something here, Anon.
What if, the more people who realize this, the more integrated our entire being becomes? And then each of us is that integrated being?

First step to enlightenment. Good job. Kind of Brings the whole golden rule, "do unto others" thing into perspective, don't it?
>>17620083
while the golden rule is important, it does nit mean we are all the same being,
why jump to a conclusion so suddenly? belief systems are how you view the world
just becquse everything is connected doesnt mean we are all the same being
>>17617635
And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul
And if the not body were not the soul, what is the soul?
the truth is difficult to find isnt it?

im, goona use an extreme example but its not alwqys as extreme as this
so if some chops off your dearly bevloveds head, will you still be nice to them? no
niceness is applied according to the situation, but kindness is important to hold in your heart

What is Kashmir Shaivism? They believe this and claim god manifests as everything. Its his game, he does it for sport. The point is to realize you are the Parama Siva the highest reality which is of the nature of infinite bliss, consciousness.
IMO we are its dreams.
>>17617511
Yep its too trippy. Its why schizophrenics think people are reading their mind; they don't realize it IS their mind. Ive experimented with this. Look at my puppy I had for a week and think my last dog was cuter while looking right at her, she looks down then back up and has a little trouble making eye contact. She never looked away before that. Perfect example. Crown chakra open. At work outside. Theres a wasp and I say we should kill it with crown chakra open and it immediately stings me dead center in crown chakra. Fucking dead center! Wasps don't know english explain that shit! I'm the only one that ever got stung and it happens then with absolute pinpoint accuracy.
>>17619623
We have an illusion of free will. Everything that we think is the result of physical processes within our brain that we have no control over.
>>17620083
First realization I had in Buddhism 4 days in was that we all have the same consciousness.

If I'm a nigger do I have to pretend be nice to pecker-woods anymore?
i find it amusing how they're trying to use racism to draw awarness away from the topic of discussion
back on track then.
OP I've thought this a long ass time, Its the first step to enlightenment in my eyes. Free will is most defiantly a thing but people are highly predicable. Falling into a pattern is the same as losing ones free will.
With a unified driving thought imagine what could we achieve.

I hate when my hippie friends say shit like this. It literally has no application, they just say it to feel smart and be like "wooooah everyone look what level I'm on" then go back to whatever mundane shit they were doing. It's mental masturbation for people who think they're better than everyone else
Bill Hicks is all right tho
Something I find amazing is how all my visions resemble mythology I hadn't even heard of.
For example, this time last year I was having visions of a hermaphrodite with red hair and red eyes, who in fact was Gaia - the woman who gave birth to all life on Earth. Her real children had spiders within them, which passed from parent to child. In the atmosphere and within the orbit of the Moon dwells Gaia and her Daughters, equipped with superhumanly powerful bodies composed of aerographene, fluorine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. I had cadres of hermaphrodites coming down from Heaven to have sex with me.
According to the Vishnu Purana, Ardhanari was born of Brahma's anger, and split to form the Rudras. That is, Ardhanari split his hermaphroditic form into two forms of opposite sex - a man and a woman.
This relates to the fact that the original being was everything, and by dividing this whole, difference is created. Men and women want each other because they know they have to merge to be able to create universes. Homosexuality is caused by transcending the duality that creates the need to join with another person.
The Manusmriti says that if a man impregnates a woman, the embyro is his natural form of rebirth. Thus, when Manu, son of Surya, produced us, he actually attained rebirth in our bodies. Surya himself was the body Brahma made for his rebirth - you and I are Brahma.
We made the universe, and we'll make more for all eternity.

Wow, you ARE an Amateur as your name suggests. As you have it written you'd be jacking off strangers since that's what you 'do unto yourself.'
I think you were aiming for this version: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule
of course its important to remember that those others are not you, so if they crack your wifes skull open on the pavement, what what you do if you saw yourself do that? its kind of like the metaphor about walking in another mans shoes for a day

>tourists from reddit real hazy on how 4chan works
You, me everyone and everything are the universe/existence experiencing itself through itself as all the different forms of existence. We are not merely "Huaman beings". We are the universe expressing itself as that form that we label as human, just like the universe is the forms that we label as the Sun, Moon and Earth. It's all that. It's all One. The intellectual understanding is not enough, we need to really feel it on a global scale for it to take effect.
Right now we got it all wrong. We see ourselves as something else to the rest, and that is what creates our individual identity and the desires that benefit only ourselves. If we could somehow change our inner selves to intergrate everyone and everything around us as ourselves, then the outer would naturally follow.

Yes. We are all the same lifeform.
Just like when you are dreaming all those different things you experience and believe to be something other than yourself.
So to is the Universe/God dreaming and getting lost in itself, only to wake up and remember itself.

Well done, I have known this for awhile think of the mutliverse theory not as parallel universes, but more as a sphere that interlaps every which way into each others lives.. we are all connected to a "grid" if you will, we all share thoughts, feeling, and everything else which is why prayer "works" we are all beings of thought that come together to be a full one.

Something else about the nature of drama is that there must be a villain, unless of course you are acting some kind of a non-play that does not have any story. Fundamentally, all stories start out with the status quo. Everybody is just sort of going along, and then someone comes in to upset everything.
The interest of the play lies in the question, How are we going to solve that problem? It is the same when you play cards. If you are playing solitaire, you start by shuffling the deck, introducing chaos. The game is to play order against chaos. In the drama there must be a villain, a dark side, so that the hero can play against him, and it. If you go to the theater for a good cry, then you let the villain win and you call it a tragedy. If you go for a thrill, you let the hero win. If you go for laughs, you call it a comedy.
There can be various arrangements between the hero and the villain, but
When the curtain goes down at the end of the drama, the hero and the villain always step out hand in hand and the audience applauds both. They do not boo the villain at the end of the play. They applaud him for acting the part of the villain so well, and they applaud the hero for acting the part of the hero so well, because they know that the hero and the villain are only roles, masks. Behind the stage is the green room. After the play is over, and before it begins, the masks are there. The Hindus feel that behind the scene, under the surface of reality, you are all actors, marvelously skilled at parts and in getting lost in the mazes of your own minds and the entanglements of your own affairs, as if this were the most urgent thing going on. But behind the scenes, in the green room, in the very back of your mind and the very depth of your soul-you always have a sneaking suspicion that you might not be the you that you think
All good games, games worth playing, that arouse our interest, are constructed like this: If you have the good and evil equally balanced, the game is boring, nothing happens, it's a stalemate. The irresistible force meets the immovable object.
On the other hand, if it is mostly good and there is hardly any evil, maybe just a teenie little fly in the ointment, it also gets boring. For example, suppose you knew the future, and could control it perfectly. What would you do? You would say, "Let's shuffle the deck and have another deal." When great chess players sit down to a match and it suddenly becomes apparent to both of them that white is going to mate in sixteen moves and
nothing can be done about it, they abandon the game and begin another. They do not want to continue if they
already know the outcome. There would not be any "hide," any element of surprise, if they knew.
Good and evil equally balanced is not a good game, and a game with positive or good forces clearly triumphant is not an interesting game. What we want is a game where it always seems that the good side is about to lose, or is in really serious danger of losing, but then always manages to sneak out a victory. In serial stories, at the end of every installment the hero is always in some absolutely impossible position--he's going to be run over by a train, and he's tied with his girlfriend to the rails. You know the author is going to get him out of his difficulty, but he mustn't do it too obviously, because that would be boring, and you wouldn't keep reading the installments.
So what is necessary is a system in which the good side is always winning but is never the winner, where the evil side is always losing but is never the loser.
That is a very practical arrangement for a game that will keep everybody interested. Watch this principle at work in practical politics. Every in-group of nice people finds that it needs an out-group of nasty people so that its members will know who they are. If you are part of the in-group, you must recognize that the out-group is your necessary enemy, whom you need. Therefore you mustn't obliterate it, because if you do you are in a very dangerous state of affairs. So you have to love your enemies, and regard them as highly necessary adversaries to be respected. We need our enemies and they need us. The thing is to cool
it and maintain what I call a contained conflict. When conflicts get out of hand, all sides blow up. " Alan Watts
