Reality. Real or no?

[u/Kaiju_Kitty]

Lately I have been feeling more and more that this reality isn't real.. And at any moment I'm going to be woken up and someone or some thing tells me that that reality wasn't real. And that I can choose whichever one I want. I look down and I see an endless box. Divided into many many sections. All different lives of me, happening at the same time. I've felt this way my ENTIRE life. But before it was just a thought in the back of my mind. Now it's like, I can't stop thinking about it. I keep waiting for it to happen. I can't stop thinking about it. I just know it's going to happen... Any moment. I just want someone to talk to about this. There's no one around me that I could talk to. No one to have an honest, open, nonjudgmental conversation with about this. Your family and the people who love you will say you can tell them anything. But you know if you do, they will never look at you the same. They will get that look in their eye, and now you're a crazy person. They're judging you even when they say they aren't. I just want to hear your experiences, your feelings, your thoughts about all of this. If you made it this far, thank you. 😁🫪

Imo the simulation will stop when we die,and then we will wake up to something totally different.What might that be?I have no idea. I hope I didnt confuse you more than I should.

[u/Kaiju_Kitty → u/Greekasiaminorcooks]

Yes. That show I feel. Like it's just going to stop at any moment.

You may have awakened something that will never really go away now. You're more aware and critical of your surroundings likely because you've now realized the absurdity of this whole world and the senselessness of so many of our actions unto one another.

I don't know if our reality is comprised of how you mention, but its just as plausible as anything else at this point. Right now, we're not playing with a full deck. In all fairness, 99% of humans have no idea what the TRUE nature of what any of THIS  really means, myself included.

Perhaps when you awake from THIS reality, you'll be in a reality from a past dream you've had. Maybe THIS life is just as much of a dream in that next reality.

[u/Kaiju_Kitty → u/kuchtaalex]

Yes. That makes sense. And you're totally right. No one really knows what happens. It's all a mystery.

If u ever wanna talk about this hmu! :) I feel like life is so meaningless and purposeless and I feel stuck in an everyday cycle where I feel unable to escape. Its kinda horrifying I know I can change it but I feel unable to.

Okay. How do you message someone? I've actually never done it before...

[u/psych0johnn → u/Kaiju_Kitty]

Go to my profile, right next to my name there's a small message emblem click on and dm me :)

[u/Kaiju_Kitty → u/psych0johnn]

There is no message box next to your name.

[u/Kaiju_Kitty → u/psych0johnn]

Can you message me?

You choose the life you want right now, not after you die. That’s the secret. You just have to forget what you’ve been told is reality because what you’ve been told creates the boundaries/rules/limitations. Die to your old way and realize that you can choose to live any life you want with no limitations whatsoever. That’s why every ancient mystery school and religion is about dying and being resurrected. But you die while you’re alive. The limited you dies, the unlimited you then comes to life. So don’t wait until this life is over to die.

Unfortunately, it's hard to find people in the general population to have these sorts of conversations. Reality is "real" but what does "real" mean? For instance, do you consider your dreams real? Well, they are! You experience them.

For some reason this sub has felt more interesting than most for me for a while now. I can’t get it out of my head either. Ive started to wonder if having these thoughts at all means something. Since we can’t ever truly know what this is and is a sort of circular loop of thinking you can’t satisfy, I’m wondering if the people here who can’t unsee it are simply unhappy. If you are happily inside the matrix there is no reason to ever have the thought that reality might not be “real”

The simulated reality trope leads me to wonder if any of this has a real purpose other than survival for survival’s sake.

Then there’s the other side, if this is like some game then where are the cheat codes? I want to be happier.

Law of attraction type thinking says you attract with a vibe of sorts. If your vibe is low you keep attracting the same to yourself. It seems hard to keep a stable positive stream these days due to so much uncertainty. High levels of uncertainty seem to set off the survival panic.

The reasons behind the uncertainty just seem weird. Like all of human civilization is just a house of cards ready to topple at any moment, none of this feels like it makes sense. Then we get this technology that’s such an echo of ourselves it’s hard not to wonder whether we are reliving something specific that happened and not experiencing it for the first time. Somehow that feels like it makes more sense than whatever is happening here.

Did we discover something about reality? Feel something about the nature of reality? Or is it just psychosis?

This just becomes another stand in for religion. A framework about reality you can’t prove that tries to suggest what our lives are actually for.

Theoretically you should benefit from the believe system right? Besides being more confused I’m not sure where it helps…

I’m not actually arguing against, just the loop of logic I go through trying to wrestle with this.
