My truth is it all is what it is.

There is no I.

No beauty nor good/evil.

No free will.

No death.

All that's real is nature. That's not a being. Just natural forces and natural materials. That's all there is.

There is no I to do anything. Not really.

Life is but a dream.

Life is neither meaningful nor meaningless.

The Italians have it right. It is what it is.

There is this moment of self awareness. That leads to the existential crisis.

Hey! I'm here. What am I? What do I do?

Sure we are bombarded our whole lives with messages about what we are.

Conditioned.

Look deep within though and you'll see that desire to understand.

Really. What am I? What should I do?

Listen longer eventually you'll realise that the I you thought was there actually isn't.

Everything is interconnected.

We long for it to be otherwise. Oh it's all fair. It really is. We even blame the victims. They brought it on themselves.

Anything but shatter this comfort zone that we are safe and life is fair.

You're right though. It just is. It's all just happening.

Love is a part of the illusion. I knew I didn't exist but couldn't fully accept it. I thought but i love.

Well I looked into evolution and understood finally that actually not all life forms do love. They love to varying degrees.

Some don't love at all. Some a little. We love the most of all the animals. Naturally.

There's even a theory that we human beings triumphed because we naturally love. We worked together. Helped our sick. Nursed our children.

Love is powerful naturally!

But love causes us to not think straight. A sunrise is vibrating energies. Differing colours to ourselves.

But put a little love in the equation oh it's beautiful.

No it isn't. It's a pattern it's colours. That's all it is.

Spock would be mystified at why we pay so much attention.

Love is our drug.

I talk about whatever is on my mind. Social struggle, philosophical struggle. Just what I'm thinking about.

I enjoy it and I feel very very gradually it helps me to make sense of the world.

And I love the people here! 🌹

I love seeing other people joining in. Just feeling comfortable. Accepting themselves. Saying how they think and feel.

I watched my consciousness for over a decade and I'm loving watching a collective consciousness.

I don't mind what people talk about. Like when I watched my mind I didn't accept and reject. I just watched. Here it's the same.

I know Carolina struggled at first I would allow abusive people but acceptance is what this thread is about and I'm diligent that I warn at the beginning of my thread now I don't attempt to control. I don't block.

Doesn't mean that I won't comment. Ultimately we can all choose to engage or not with whatever is said.

Welcome tcp. I realised the other day in a thread of self expression there can be no trolling. You're words are as valuable as anyone else's.
