Questions

1. I honestly don't know. I'd like to think I exist. But sometimes I feel like nothing more than an idea that someone, something had/is having. There are a-lot of things I don't understand about people and don't relate to. This is why I sometimes have the notion that I'm nothing more than an idea. Although, I do participate in what people consider 'reality'. But does this really prove existence?

2. I would say I spend most of the time aware of the present. Although, I do spend time thinking about the past and wondering about the future. Not my future, so much, but the future of humanity in general.

3. I think I spend as much if not slightly more time detached from reality depending on whether you consider electronic entertainment a detachment from reality or not. I do spend a fair amount of time pondering the unknown aspect of the universe, philosophy and what not. I consider myself a thinker, so I am often not as attached to reality as most people, I think.

4. Constantly, however, I have yet to find any meaning.

5. I would say I am very aware of my own mind. That is, I'm often aware of thoughts in the back of my mind. I often can't get my mind to settle down as thoughts constantly race through it. It's actually quite annoying.

6. I don't know much about emotions. But I think they are triggered by external stimuli. I also believe that the specific emotions surfaced depend on MANY factors(environment, experiences, genetic make-up etc.).

7. I do believe in duality. However, in order for humans to transcend physical limitations, we will need to evolve, mentally. At the same time, it is very important to achieve a good balance between our awareness of both body and mind. I also like to think that humans transcend the physical realm after death and that we achieve complete understanding. Obviously, there is no proof of this, however.

8. I believe complete unity will be achieved in the distant, distant future.


Obviously, these are just my opinions.
