Deepak Chopra said that most people think of ourselves as physical beings that somehow learned how to think, when it's almost certainly the opposite. We are thoughts that learned how to manifest into a physical being.

I am completely freaked out right now.

Yes

If there's a reality out there that we're not aware of, I'd like to think it's way, way more complex and interesting than being part of a computer simulation.

Is the basic point of the article that we don't really live in the present, and that our consciousness actually wobbles a little bit behind and a little bit ahead of the present nearly all of the time?

If not, then no thanks. Because that's the way it is.

Or we're all just the inevitable result of a chain reaction ongoing since the big bang, all of our actions are governed by chemical reactions inside our bodies, and thought is an illusion.

I'm not sure there are enough drugs in the world for me to follow this guy down that rabbit hole.

Is this why we have deja vus?

 

[Tri4Cy]

No. No it does not.

But what's the point...there is no earth

 

[BoxsterCy]

Probably. Seemed during the basketball season that a lot of the posters here were about as smart as AA batteries.
