Everything and nothing

| Mind and matter | 4 Comments

Hey, just in case you were not already aware of it, we are all in on this thing together. What thing are you talking about? This thing and that thing and all the other things around you and me and the rest of the world. Everyone in the rest of the world? Yes, everyone and everything. But that is impossible, I do not believe it, how can you explain it? Simple, once you can figure it all out and have faith in what you know has always been true. Nonsense. Yes, nonsense is a good word for it I would say. Ridiculous. Another description that overlaps well with what I mean. Impossible. Sorry, but you already used that word. You must be kidding. I am and I am not. Stop it, I hate it when you start talking like this. Sorry, but I cannot help it now. You're crazy! Could be, but I think I am crazy also, but because I think that I am crazy that means that I am NOT crazy, so there. I give up, I'm getting out of here. Alright, that's fine with me. See you next time. Yeah sure. Bye.

Yes... but the reality of it all is that you don't really exist. In fact, you are all a figment of my own imagination. The only reason that I continue to see posts on what I dream up to be a website is the fact that I need to have one part of myself converse with the other part of myself. However, I have come to the understanding that this cannot happen directly and thus I have had to devise these other beings to carry the messages around.

“But I am reading this now, so I am really here.”

No. Of course not. I need you to be there so that I can randomly approach this part of the brain that I have labeled as you!

Make sense? Yes I know I make sense. And I do too!

Makes sense, perfect sense to me. But what does it all have to do with this blog entry? Weird.

It has to do with this because the reality is that we are NOT all in on this together because we are NOT all here! --So that means that I am the only one in on it. Argument derived from one of the books in the Hitchhiker Guide collection by Douglas Adams, but I would have to re-read all of the books to remember where it is!--

Alright, I get it now. I have also read all the books in his fine collection, and there is some distant recollection of those very same thoughts.
