What the hell is reality? Do you, me or this Seasons chrysanthemum tea in front of me really exist outside of the mind? The possibility of objects and even thoughts might just be an illusion is truly annoying, as close as trying to quantify infinity. It’s sickening.
Have you ever seen a figure from the corner of your eye but when you turned to look there was nobody there? If it is possible to be sometimes deceived by the human mind, therefore isn’t it possible to always be deceived?
Ho do we figure out the purpose of life when we cant even be sure if life exist?
As science would explain matter; we know that an object exist because our 5 senses tells us its there. We see, touch, smell, hear or taste it, and therefore it is real.
But when you look at an object, the light bounces off the objects and hits the retina, some wham bham chemical changes happen, alakazheem alakazhaam and wallah……we see!!!! And the same process somewhat repeats when we use all our other senses too.
So technically…… its not that we are experiencing the object itself, by right….we are experiencing the chemical change that happens within us. NONE of us has EVER experienced ANYTHING directly.
Suppose we were to mimic those exact chemical reactions and channel it into our brains….wouldn’t it look/see/fee/smell/taste like a matter from outside your brain? Would we then know how to differentiate between mind and matter?
So then…how do we know or proof that anything scientific is “true” if we never get a chance to experience/ perceive ANYTHING on this world directly???
I’m starring at my chrysanthemum tea at the moment. If nobody was looking at it, would it still be yellow? Is color just a common reaction by the human mind? Does the world only have color when someone is looking at it?
Ages ago, people believed that the world was flat until one find day, one smart fella went “hey guess what?? It’s a sphere!!!”. People thought he was crazy, it was only after a long time was his theory proven and people started accepting the new found “truth”. Once, the reality was that the world was flat, nobody questioned it, nobody doubted it….. but then, the reality changed. Maybe 2000 years from now, people will be laughing at our stupidity for believing that “this world/life” is the reality. Our perception of the world doesn’t necessarily depend on the object itself, it depends on the mind. If what we experience in life merely just a blob of chemicals, are we then living in reality? Is reality referring to stuff that our minds conjure??
When we say the word “chrysanthemum tea”….. we generalize the word to all tea that are similar. But truth being, no two tea have anything in common except for its name. When we talk to someone and refer to something, we assume that it’s the understanding of the same “something”….when in fact….its not!!!
So how do we trust what we have been thought? Are we sure that it is the same “teachings” of the founder and not an altered state of it by the learner?? As we turn to people who we assume to be more stronger/ wiser etc… we should rely wonder… how the hell do they know???? How does anyone ever be sure about anything???
Doesn’t everything just seem maya? Is it less of a life value being stuck in a state of maya???
