What are the bigger questions you ask yourself?

XxAc1DtR1PxXFeels

I have very few people who I know that are able to talk about this type of stuff. Why that is I don't know.....

The only person I was ever able to talk to about my deepest insecurities was unfortunately the person I first fell in love with.
All I'm going to say is do not make the same mistake.
Having somebody to talk to with no filter allows your insecurities to surface. Having another person be aware of these insecurities suddenly makes them very, very real.
Your inner doubts are nothing more than inner doubts, and by trying to dig them up they consume you.
So, please, be careful when talking about your inner self because when you write about the problems you think you have they become real.

OregonDeadWhat are you supposed to do when you get to the top of the mountain? IMO the smart thing is bring skis up with you and just bomb it on the way back down. Always a bummer to get to the top of the heap and then be like oh shit I have to walk back down but sometimes that is inevitable. Gotta keep going back up once you get down. Gotta get up to get down.

No doubt.

You might be a few steps from the summit, but a storm hit so you gotta go back down and wait for a sunny day.

Your entire conscious, your inner voice, your thoughts are all just electrical signals going off in your brain. Take a moment to think about that.

MinggBeen thinking about death a lot lately and what oblivion would be like. The more I think about it, the more I want to believe in a bigger picture but I don’t see it.

I found a perfect way to describe death in a not so scary way. It happens everyday in fact!
Falling asleep! That moment when you slip into unconsciousness, but not into the dreaming state yet. You cant be aware of it and you dont know how long it lasts. Thats the closest ive been to that answer.

I fucked up my wrist in a MTB accident 10 weeks ago so I've had some serious time to myself recently.

Here's some of mine....


If the universe IS real.. why does it exist. Why does space exist. Why does time exist. Like there's no physical law to explain why it has to exist, at all.

In answer to people's question.. .what is the meaning of life? I think the universe created and designed life in a way so that it can try to understand it's own existence

Sometimes I truly believe the universe revolves around me. Like I see things happening around me to other people (sometimes good, sometimes bad) and I just can't comprehend why that'd happen, it makes me think it's only happening to try and kickstart me into doing something in retaliation.

I'm starting to think that everything is just a simulation, in my own brain... like people could be sitting here reading this post thinking wtf is this guy on about and reply to this thread to prove their own consciousness and reality, but whatever people say or do to me cannot physically prove that anything is actually real. Like there's nothing I can do to prove to myself that anything or anyone in the entire universe is actually real, as there is only me inside my brain...I can just be imagining it, or dreaming it. it's so hard to explain in writing.

I guess that these are the sort of thoughts that a psychopath starts off with? Think I'm gonna end up in a strait jacket soon enough

Essentially oblivion

Personally, the idea of being unaware and left behind in time is terrifying

Yep, no matter how I slice it, death is utterly terrifying

RparrYep, no matter how I slice it, death is utterly terrifying

Yep but you better learn how to accept it, you don't want your last moments on your death bed to be filled with sheer terror. I like the "eternal peace" aspect to it.

What if there was no universe? What if absolutely nothing existed...

weastcoastWhat if there was no universe? What if absolutely nothing existed...

that's the concept of death to me.

Mathematically 0 doesn't exist right?
Nowhere in this universe can there be just "nothing" There is particles everywhere,

And with that does that mean you can't not "exist"?

(I think I already said this in this thread, but I am tired and can't be bothered looking)

On a related note, I have been in a very bad patch mentally atm. I have been driving myself insane thinking too much.... about unanswerable questions....
Why do we exist? What is the point of existence? Existence vs non existence etc.

So about 15h ago I took a rather large dose of Lucy (600mikes) The purpose was, I guess to try and find these reasons, these answers to my questions. I was tripping crazy hard, but my mind was still conscious, I could see through it all. I began to desire and wanted to live and exist even harder, by taking more. I wanted to feel alive.
So I went home, and had some stimulants. I was skating around running through the streets at 100mph like a damned lunatic for 4 hours. All just to feel something..... I don't know.... I was trying to find the answers.

But throughout all of that, I still feel like the doses weren't enough to fully make myself feel alive. Because the whole time I knew I was on drugs, and just seeing an illusion, a distortion of my mind....

However I came to the conclusion this morning (and i am still trying to take some other lessons) That I will never find the answer to any of my questions and thus it is pointless, because it is a rabbit hole that goes no where. Because at the end of the day we are here and this is reality. I guess one of our only purposes is just to exist, and experience life. Try everything.
Life is way too short to be locked to a job you hate. To be a slave to money just to buy meaningless shit only to impress your co workers.
Fuck that.
If you wanna be a bum, surfing and skiing in a van then do it...... who gives a fuck. Just experience and live.

I am going to trip again this weekend however I am not going to be looking for answer. I am going to experience, listen to music and hang out with my bro. Enjoy the sights.

Don't go searching for the truth with drugs, just enjoy them.

Exactly!
I guess inevitably it turns into a dark and self destructive journey. The more you desire something, the less chance you have of getting it.

XxAc1DtR1PxXExactly!

You can find out that maybe its time to break up with your girlfriend or that maybe you should go down a different path in life then the one you are currently taking. Just thinking about religion is good on acid, but you can't be searching for God. You aren't going to find him and if you do, its just the drugs talking! Anyway if you want to leave your body, smoke DMT instead. Its acid on steroids. You can make it yourself as well, there is instructions online.

How do you get to Chad's gap from the bottom of alta?

I find that thought rather soothing. In a sense, you cant fuck up anything because you will be forgotten. Civilization will fall and everything you accomplish will be lost. Unless you are a history shattering person, you get to do your thing then disappear like the birds.
It shouldnt be a fearful thought. If whatever happened before life cant bother you, why should events after life should bother you? You werent there during famines and wont be there to experience the next crisis.
The last thought about death is the state of mind you have when you are on your death bed. Remember your worst sickness you had? it will kinda be that way but much worse that partaking in activities will no longer be in your mind. You wont miss being outside because the mind will be so disrupted.

Ive been to the depths of hell when I went through depression. After trying to kill myself, I feel like Im a ghost wandering the earth... a prologue in other words. Every day is just a continuation to a story where you cant remember the beginning and will never know the ending. Being deep in hell and coming back gave me a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, but it came at serious price. I found a mantra while down there that resonates well with me; "Nothing matters, no one cares, everyone dies"

Just watch the movie unfold itself and dont preoccupy with the ending.

Will there be nothing or something after death. Personally I think nothing and i'm really gonna miss life

Am I really doing things that actually make me happy or just what I think I'm "supposed" to be doing for society's idea of success?

neonedgeAm I really doing things that actually make me happy or just what I think I'm "supposed" to be doing for society's idea of success?

follow your gut instinct

only you can answer that question

I always think about if any other life exists out there , I think that it most likely does considering the unfathomable size of the universe. To me missing out on knowing about other possible life forms and of the hopefully interstellar future of humans is the only thing that makes me think about death. Otherwise I don't think much of it at all. I feel like I didn't worry about the 13.8 billion years before I was born so I imagine it will be much the same.
