Speaker A
So, check out my Divorcing Linearity series if you want to see, like, what goes through my mind on a day-to-day basis. I have a playlist on my profile. But, in terms of how I got more existential and then was able to
Speaker A
learn more, noodle more on this information, I'll just post some questions that are things that I thought about, okay?
Speaker A
First of all, the willingness to get existential is probably going to be your best friend. I feel like I've been existential since I was like 5, and I really feel like that's given me quite the edge when it
Speaker A
comes to this. But, here are things that I would just sit and think about. I would take time out of each day to just sit and like think about things.
Speaker A
One would be like, reality is not waiting for me on the other side of my eyeballs, like of my eyelids. So, if I was just like sitting like this, I'm sitting in like my sister's childhood bedroom right now.
Speaker A
What evidence do I have that there is a bedroom exactly how I remember it in front of me?
Speaker A
What evidence do I have? And it doesn't matter when I open my eyes and I can look on the screen and I can see, okay, here's the context clues of I'm in my sister's childhood bedroom. But, how do I know
Speaker A
that that was what was out there when my eyes were closed? Based on what I was told, like how I grew up, what feels intuitive. The only bedroom that I've ever had, whether it's my childhood one across the hall, the one that I work
Speaker A
in, which is my sister's, the one at my apartment when I'm not visiting my family, whatever it is, I've only ever experienced, specifically this bedroom here, appearing within consciousness.
Speaker A
Okay? I've never experienced it objectively appearing outside of consciousness. I have never stepped outside of consciousness and compared this bedroom to the objective bedroom model that exists outside of consciousness.
Speaker A
Because there isn't one. So, what does this mean? I assume this bedroom is the way it is, and it appears that way because that's my identity. That's my assumption.
Speaker A
That's it. And because of how we move through the world, the world, we expect our experience, we expect continuity. You assume that it would be the exact way that you left it. Okay?
Speaker A
And it will appear the exact way that you left it because you assume that to be true. We move through the 3D experience with continuity, like expecting continuity. That's how we make sense of things. That's why it stays the same,
Speaker A
okay? But you have to understand that it stays the same because of the assumption. And it doesn't mean that it's this assumption that you're like, oh, I know my bedroom is going to stay the same. It doesn't have to be a like
Speaker A
conscious creation assumption. We move through life with assumptions, identities, etc. That's why you were source before you knew it. That's why you're consciousness before you knew it, etc. Okay?
Speaker A
If you think that the bedroom would stay the way it was outside of your assumptions, outside of your consciousness, then you are assuming that the room is fundamental.
Speaker A
Okay? You're assuming that reality is an outside thing, objectively fixed. So, why do you assume that?
Speaker A
Where does that fall apart when you start noodling on that?
