Has anyone ever thought...

at one point in your life, everything was in your imagination??

I did for a while but i ruled it out and now im agnostic

 

yes and I still kind of do

 

" Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is." -Wilde

 

it is one way of looking at things,
two answers to it though,
one is what is this self that is doing this imagining?
the other is that there are real things out there you can stumble and knock over and other people can come along and stumble over them because you did

 

Not mine, no.

 

The world doesn't come from your thought.

Your perception of it does.

And if the world was the tought of some super-entity, it wouldn't matter. Thoughts exists, they exist only as thoughts, but they exist.

 

And they're all just passing through.

 

Just like the rest.

 

I pondered that I could have just been part of someone's imagination (creativeness) in for a while. That would include the possibilities of me, everyone else and perhaps everything being AI, a dream, a thought, a program etc...etc...That was after a time that I did a fair amount of psychedelics though...appreciate the thoughts and haven't ruled it out as a possibility, but don't think it's very likely.

Can definetely see where you're coming from though, so far as it being viewed as a possibility, however not necessarily accepting it as a fact.

 

i belive the material world to be gods projection. so all matter will eventually perish since its belived to not have god in it, hence revelations.

 

No, solipsism is a serious pathological condition.
Some idiot, somewhere decided it was a religion aswell.
It isn't.

 

You guys need to read Descartes

 

Well you have to ask your self what is imagining?

 

sure something like that. But injuries, sex, and psychedelics all reinforce that it's not my imagination.

 

Upon further consideration of your post, if you were really agnostic you wouldn't even believe in your own imagination, because you wouldn't even believe that you really exist. That's means if your unsure that you really exist, then your whole reality could just be a figment of your imagination....which doesn't even exist in the first place. have fun!

 

what is world? what is take over?

there is a game between awareness, including that of each and every individual one of us, and the universe, that influence each other in ways human intelligence does not appear entirely equal to the task of grasping.

every time i stub my toe, i realize there is more to everything then just myself.
every time i consider deeper questions, i realize nothing is obliged even to resemble whatever my personal understanding of it may happen to be.

was what i stubbed my toe on attacking me? unlikely. invariably it was my foot that was moving at the time. was i inadvertently and unknowingly attacking it? possibly, but uncertain. it does give me reason to be mindful and consider where i put my toes.

one thing, the only thing we can discuss over the net, and usually in person, at least directly and with any ease of doing so, is/are 'words'.

some things, mostly having to do with ourselves and each other, appear observably, to be somewhat affected by them. others, that great big universe out there, well there's something out there, and it seems to be in a lot more places, and therefor bigger, then i am, are not as readily observable to be affected by them at all.

and yet and yet, even the latter does not appear always and invariably consistently to be the case.
