Do you exist?

So if you don't exist... are you growing that non-existence?

And if you do exist... is that growing?

By the time you figure out whether or not the train exists it'll have left the station. So why not get on the train and figure it out while you're on it.

Something that's blue is everything but blue... everything but blue is absorbed and blue is reflected back... so is it blue or not blue... tree's crashing in the forest makes the sound of our soul's chuckling.

Good idea - why don't you start a new thread for the Part II?

Hello Dar,

The dream question brings up the probablity that what really is , and what is real , are somewhat relative . I include the real possibility that some dreams
are windows to a level of our existence that transcends sleep/awake, even alive/dead

There is the deep blackness of timeless sleep that takes place when we are in a deep dreamless sleep. In this state , identity, existence seems irrelevent.

In scientific circles this is called the delta range of brain activity.A delta wave is a high amplitude brain wave with a frequency of oscillation between 0–4 hertz.

0 hertz is clearly nil brain activity aside from the automatic functions like breathing and heart beats along with cell regeneration. Anyway Nil Brain activity is what many physicians would call vegetitive or brain dead.

What is interesting to me , is that all of us (aside from chronic insomniacs possibly) go into this brain dead state , most commonly once every day.

Perhaps it is in that state we get a glimpse or idea of what it is to not exist.
