ravergirl 7 #28 Posted October 20, 2008 Sometimes when i am under stress (like now) or sick (like now) or going through a change like moving (like now,) I doubt that I exist. It is hard to explain what physically happens. Almost like you have distanced myself from myself so reality isn't so real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is hard to explain what physically happens. Almost like you have distanced myself from myself so reality isn't so real. one thing is clear from above that the idea of existence is essentially a thought process in the conscious mind quite understandably when the mind is occupied , one is least aware of things like ' reality ' ' existence ' .. in other words - IT IS ALL IN THE HEAD and when the mind is naturally at rest is there a need to superimpose ideas of ' whether i exist ' .. and questions of the like , to which apparently there is no end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
