QUOTE(dreamer101 @ May 9 2010, 09:22 AM) Beastboy, There are NO REALITY. There are ALL ILLUSIONS. Your eyes see something and YOUR BRAIN interpret it to be something. Everything that you SEE is an interpretation by YOU BRAIN. You have NO IDEA what that thing is anyhow. You just have AN ILLUSION or APPROXIMATION of what it IS. Dreamer next time a speeding car is heading towards you,remember don't evade and let it run over you,since it's an illusion anyhow... |

QUOTE(Deadlocks @ May 9 2010, 01:30 PM) But you see. The moment you think " remember don't evade and let it run over you", it's already making you submitting to the illusion, because you actually did believe there's a car coming for you. What dreamer101 meant was: "Nothing it's really what it seems to be". this does not solve the problem either,the car is apparently heading towards you,if you believe it's an illusion then by all means you would not attempt to avoid it... and let me ask you something,dare to apply this 'philosophy' in situations like this?

QUOTE(Deadlocks @ May 9 2010, 01:56 PM) The idea is to understand the philosophy, not to dare yourself to test it with situations. Because when you "attempt" to test it, that attempt already has a precognition that you actually believed that the illusion is real, hence it will be real, and hence the car heading towards you is about run you over. interesting notion,so everything is illusion,including yourself?

QUOTE(Deadlocks @ May 9 2010, 02:22 PM) You can't really see yourself until you look into a mirror, or let someone else sees you right? What you perceive may be an illusion, but how you perceive it, and what you do, whether in actions or inaction, that is actually real. QUOTE(teongpeng @ May 9 2010, 03:24 PM) no. everything is REAL. only perceptions are illusions. i understand what you're trying to say,it's just that at first i thought what dreamer101 said was 'EVERYTHING is illusion' so i went on to suggest the consequence if we were to instinctively assume everything happens around us is unreal,i hope this clarifies my stance...
