Continuing what went on

:-) Well...I agree that the theory doesnt have a solid background or proof. But I could try to explain some of the questions that Vivek has asked....death...woz thinking about that...if this make-believe dream is true, death would mean waking up to the real 'reality'. perhaps the reason why we seem to have the notion of a seeing a 'bright light' in near death situations..the morning of the real world perhaps? Maybe that is the reason why many of us are not comfortable with the concept of death, our sub-conscious somehow forces us to resent it, as the primary reason for us being in this fantasy is to escape what death bring us to.

About the extraordinary memory...umm...am not sure i get that. Why would you think it is extraordinaily high memory capacity? How would you know the capacity of the real you, when you dont really know the real you. (confusing?). The collective unconsious theory? - We have accumulated the knowledge of many things and experiences from lives lived before, hidden in our sub-conscious, waiting to be discovered. I belive in it too. There have been many times that I have simply just 'known' things wihthout being explained or having the experience to understand them. The answer to everything lies within you, you just have to be ready and open enough to understand this and discover yourself. Do I believe in re-incarnations?....a different story, if we could define the concept of incarnation. I could go on forever, leaping from one concept to the other....

An expected reflection

I am sure that this has been a question that all of us have raised in ourselves, tried to figure out, and have either attained the enlightenment or have shrugged it off as non-essential. Why are we here...what is this thing that we call life?. I have had many theories on this, each neatly conflicting the other, and have not arrived at any proper conclusion, except that we are not what we seem to be.

Much of this conclusion is thanks to the Matrix series, which, like many other books and movies has been an inspiration for my theory of 'I believe'.

One of my theories is that we live in a make-believe world. In some dimension we lead such horrible lives that we dream up this life to escape from reality. The extent of details that we have in this dream directly proportional to the horrors we want to escape. Well, it might not necessarily be horrors....they might also be like the afternoon history classes in school. So how do we meet people? They are either inventions of our own, or we might have interconnected psyches with many other people. Our brain waves interact to produce a composite dream that each shares, yet maintains one's own as the perspective on 'life'. I am working on explaining the multiverse principle in this theory...will get to it someday when I am open to the 'cosmic waves' as Haran used to say.

Inspiration for this? I read an article on the newspaper years ago when a girl went into a slumber and wouldnt wake up after seeing her family perish in the Gujarat earthquake.

Welcome?

Chalo....start kar di humne...following a friend, burning my fingers in blog world. What would you expect from this? I dont know...I will write as I go.
