haha, well good luck with that. Reality IS your head, your mind. To think that existence is independent of your mind is completely natural and necessary for the survival of our species, but it is just in your imagination.

For example if you close your eyes you know that your computer is still in front of you even though you can't see it. You know this because throughout the course of your life when you closed your eyes and then opened them again, things remained relatively the same so your imagination lead you to believe that things still exist when you can't sense them. We can't logically come to this conclusion because everything we know about reality is based on what we can actually sense, so there is no logical proof for continued or independent existence. Our imaginations simply automatically make us believe this so we can assign a certain identity to objects and ourselves, so we can make sense of the world.

Its crazy to think about and hard to swallow, i know. I don't know how good a job I do at explaining it, but if I am unclear just let me know so i can try to explain it better.

The most fascinating part to me is how we are able to do complex tasks 100.0000% correctly in times of sudden danger with absolutely no time to prepare. I started longboarding just over a year ago. I'm pretty good at it, but I can't do anything crazy. When I'm about to fall, however I can do the craziest shit ever. It's like I wouldn't have thought in my wildest dreams that I could do the things that I do. Ex. I'm going down Rating: 5
