hello!

i am new to mind-brain. i actually found this site while looking for romantic poetry to give to my girlfriend.

i'm 20 and live in Delaware and my e-mail is thejimman@aol.com if anyone would like to more personally discuss any theories i happen to post.

one theory of mine is relative existance.

have you ever wondered if there is really existance beyond what you percieve through your senses? is the wind blowing only because you percieve it to be blowing? i think that perhaps there is nothing but what i am, what i think. sounds concieted maybe, but i only realize the existance of other beings because my eyes and ears tell me that they are there. what if they aren't really there? what if i live in a 'world' of my own, completely different from what others know? or maybe there are no others? or perhaps we are of a single conciousness? i wrote a two page paper on this but am unable to remember most of it... plus it's 2 am. basicly, we only define reality by what we perceive, so what if we are the only "perceivers"? does anything besides ourselves nessisarily even exist?

anyone care to expound on this?

Ah, matrix syndrome 8)

As a guess i would say that you welched on the honesty of this statement. I think that what you meant to say is:

I only define reality by what I perceive, so what if I am the only "perceiver"? does anything besides me nessisarily even exist?

I cannot help you, nor can anyone else. I think this is maybe a stage that we all go through because ultimately we are all alone inside our heads/hearts/solar plexus.

I haven't cracked it yet, and still think i am the only one truely alive and the rest of you are robots put here to aid me, everything is relative, and outside of my sphere of vision at any time nothing exists.

Heres a nice analogy; I am wondering around in the dark with my flashlight, all that i see is the small area that the flashlight illuminates, is that all there is? Others are doing the same as me, and occasionally our areas of illumination converge and we have visibility of eachother. When we part it's like the others don't exist, and maybe they don't; in my own private universe.

It's thinking like this that brought you here, where we go from there, is a choice i leave to you  8)

well said.

very good, my man!

I say that there is only one 'being' (namely, the Universe), and that all the various 'entities' that seem to 'inhabit' this 'being' are really mainfestations of structure that support various coherent and intelligent 'perspectives'.  'Being' experiences these 'entity-perspectives' in a time-division multiplexed fashion.  Thus, 'being' is experiencing a 'flicking in and out' of all the various perspectives in a cyclic fashion.  This is like watching a jillin movies at once, where you look at one frame of each movie (separately, of course) per master cycle.  And the cycle is quite fast, thus jillions of beings can feel constantly 'up to date' almost as if continuously in touch!.  Thus, 'being' acts out the roles of all it's 'entities' separately, like a big coreography.  'Being' is playing with itself, because that's the best gig in town.  (actually, it's the only gig in town short of jibber-jabber)  

and you ARE 'being'!

woooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~
