DeepSight:
That life is an illusion is something that I have since made peace with. Sometimes though, I wonder if the other participants (or other conscious programs if you like) within this illusion called life (if they are conscious at all) recognize that life is indeed an illusion. I have only met two other persons who are like me absolutely convicted about this illussionary nature of our existence, and without attempting to appeal to authority let me say that they are both eminently distinguished persons who excel not just in their fields of human endeavor alone. In short, I mean to say that they are not bananas. And neither, am I.
Now let me come more closely to my subject: It has to do with the human body - human anatomy.
I say, that the human body is so implausible an object, so contradictory in its existence, indeed such a queer admixture of meat and mind, that it wholly discloses itself to be an illusion, an unreal thing: a mirage - something that is in fact not there at all: a hoax of a machine set only to appear as a being.
In this thread I will set about showing and proving this: and I will do so by reviewing the human body with respect to:
~ 1. The implausibility of the human head
~ 2. The mortality of human meat
Other Heads of discussion will be added as we go along. For now, let us start with the human head: and how it discloses very clearly that it is a biochemical rag-doll which is in fact illusionary - nothing but a virtual reality Visor which must be removed at death.
To do this, we are going to examine carefully a bare human skull as against a living human persons head.
In quantum theory, when considering wave/particle duality, we would expect that an elementary or quantic object will either act like a wave or as a particle during the timeframe in which it is observed. However John Wheeler's Delayed Thought Experiment has shown that we do not know for sure until after the object has been observed and measured. i.e. at the quantum level, reality does not exist if you are not looking at it.
In other words, if you say that the object travelled a particular path as a wave or as a particle, then you are saying that the future of the object has controlled its past.
I however don't agree that life is an illusion, and I think such phenomena observed at the quantum scale are a reflection of our current lack of understanding of adequate science.
If yours might be an interesting argument, let's hear it. Meanwhile, here are some questions for you:
- What makes the human body (let alone head) implausible, yet allows other flora & fauna to be plausible?
- If the human body is an illusion of being, what is the true nature of being?
