Not really.
What is it, that you do not understand about the word ''story'' ?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:59 pmYou could say, for example, "It could be evolution." Questions remain about it, of course; but it's at least a plausible alternate story.
Any thing that can be 'thought about' is a story. You are ''reality'' you are not in 'reality'
Reality doesn't need a story to exist or be.
You do not have to 'think yourself' into being, you are being, and being just is, reality just is, reality does not have a story. A story is a mental projection reality superimposes upon itself, but is never what reality actually is, because reality is pure natural art, but the nature of that art is artificial...it's an interpretation of the art, it's just an empty representation of reality, like a painting on a blank canvas that can be erased and then be re-painted according to the interpretation that is being artificially emitted. The reality, aka the blank canvas can never be erased, because that's the real reality. You confuse fact with fiction, and you confuse the unreal with real.
Reality is devoid of identified characters, which are artificially created by concepts manifest as sound, heard as words, believed to be real. But only reality is real, and you do not see this because you are so invested in the fictional character within story as being real when it's only a temporal illusory appearance within the real.. You stubbornly refuse to believe the fictional character is just a story which is empty to the core. You are seduced by the mirage, so much that it becomes your reality when it's really nothing more than a mirage within reality. This is too unbelievable for you because you cannot see it as true, and so you will continue to live for your believed delusion.
That's a strawman argument. It's a false dichotomy. The answer doesn't specifically have to be 4 ... the answer to 2+2 could just as easily be 'two twos' and that would be right. In other words 'answers' are meaningless and irrelevant. There are no answers to what is reality.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:59 pmBut again, the presence of two different answers to "What is 2+2," say, "4" and "5," does not suggest any problem exists with the answer "4," far less that there is no real answer.
There are no right answers to find, for the 'questioner' only exists as an idea within the emptiness of space. Ideas are not found in the material world known as brain either. Ideas appear to manifest to the sense of 'me' which is just an appearance within the illusory sense of separation, which cannot be found to exist anywhere in reality whatsoever, except as a belief, with is just another empty conceptual idea.
No one is writing the story, and no one is believing there is a someone writing the story, and no one is believing the unwritten story...see what is being pointed to here?
There is no one believing they are intelligent, and there is no one believing that pain and suffering is bad. And there is no one believing that they can do something to elleviate pain and suffering forever...except in the illusory dream of separation, an appearance within reality. Appearing real, the dream is real, it's an unreal story believed to be real by no one, doesn't mean it's not happening, it's happening to no one.
The truth is, there isn't any truth, that's the real truth.
