Thread: are we all actually dead already?

need a rethink unless anybody has an explanation

Dying To Know [docu-drama], 2014

Ram Dass/Timothy Leary

...spatial presence.

that sounds good

thanks jeff

My 4 year old daughter insists nothing's real and it's all just a dream.
Just who's dream she hasn't said, I presume she means hers.

“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”
Zhūangzi (c. 369 BC - c. 286 BC).

I had some pretty dark days as a teen, and wished I was dead a few times, tried a couple as well, poorly, with the old paracetamols - never did take enough - or at least I don't think I did, but maybe I;m dead and don't know it.

Anyone who's had a lucid dream will know about that.

Also the single largest known cause of hurricanes and a general menace to mankind.

The sooner these creatures are eradicated the better for everyone living between the tropical latitudes.

To be able to dream one would need a functioning brain. If one was physically dead, one would not have functioning brain, yes?

If you are dead, does it really matter if you know it or not?

You just get on with life, or death, until you die. Or live.

You will dream the death of your present dreambody.

My arse is dead this morning, after a couple of raging hot curries and what seemed like gallons of Pinot last night....

Oh the humanity!
