Hi Mark,
Dreams are a fantasy world
Dreaming is experiencing a dream, no difference with experiencing a thought or experiencing seeing a cow.
When dreaming you dont have a head or body (not as in the waking state), but still you are experiencing.
So a body is not needed for experiencing.
that would mean every decision comes from nowhere.
Right!
Count to 3. Then lift one arm.
Which one did you lift? Who "decided" that?
If that's true then all decisions are already made
Why? Like thoughts come and go, decisions come and go. Its a mystery.
I dont see the logic in your conclusion: "then all decisions are already made".
I don't understand the apple falling question. Please explain.
You said meditating always changes your state to a more pleasant experience.
Is that a law? Is it really always?
Forget the apple: what I meant is that the conclusion that "meditating produces pleasant experiences" is an assumption that doesnt need to be true.
My self seems so real.
What self? Did you finally find one?
My imagined watermelon seems very real too.
And I definately believe in Santa!
Warm regards, Petrus
