There is no “Self”

You don’t exist. The “thing” or “being” that you think you are, isn’t real.

“You” only exist in an infinitesimal period of time on a cosmic scale.

Your life flickers and dies and then you’re gone for Eternity.

You aren’t even real. What you call consciousness is a facade. It’s a construction of your brain which evolved over billions of years to make you think you are a person.

Dude, I just made a thread on that. I made it first, it is my concept. There is no self dude. I found that out first, therefore I am the best.


Jokes aside. An important destinction to make is between real and true. Truth is forever and objective. Real can be subjective. It is real to only me, but truth is truth for everyone.

The identity you have attached to yourself is a falsehood your mind creates to allow you to function as a biological organism.

The weird thing about infinity is that space and time has no meaning there. Here or there doesn´t make sense in empty infinity. Try to actually grasp infinity. In that context, space loses meaning.

We aren’t even people, or anything. We are nothing but evolved shrews. Our awareness of being alive is a cruel joke. It’s random. No god exists and there is no meaning to anything. Our lives are a brief flicker of nothing

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.

At the end of the day, each individual dies but the species must endure and prosper. This is the rational human aim
Nahh not really. All meaning is created and artificial. All meaning is cope to avoid making eye contact with the enless empty infinite void.

I recommend staying away from spirituality and meditation srs. Wish I never went there.
To each their own. One way is not any better than the other way. Just different. Truth is not better than the false. No ego is not any better than ego.

We don’t exist. We are a cruel joke thrust upon the world unwillingly and cease to exist almost immediately on a cosmic scale. You and I think we are alive and having a conversation but it’s only an illusion.

Edit: How could anyone presume that they could bring another supposedly conscious biological human into this world?

If you take that path to the end, you end up being nothing being nobody loving nobody owning nothing. You will lose ability to function in normie life with normie people.

Thankfully I pulled back before it got bad and turned back to normie life. But I wish I had never went down the path of spirituality at all because it is not good for mental stability and normal functioning.
Sorry to break it to you but you’re not a normal functioning person, lol.

Yes. It is proabably only for those who cannot not do it. Don´t sweat it. Enjoy your life

Had this experience when i took mushrooms, the very "feeling" of losing the self is terrifying i've struggled with it for ages.. but when you learn to accept it and succumb to the demons.... fuark bro there's no coming back, life aint chit but fuark keep striving for personal understanding because in the end all you have is yourself.

lmao at people thinking they are enlightened from "defeating" their ego. the ego is who you are, breaking it down goes against nature itself, just look at how distraught OP is. it leads to zero progress and makes you weaker for it. there is one thing to be aware of it, as anyone who was ever a know-it-all teen is, but the goal is to make the ego tougher and more resilient not to weaken it or treat is as some unwanted part of the mind that is holding you back from some mystical "truth", there is none. Buddhism is the mindset of the weak who can not handle the reality of the world they were born into, so they attempt escape into nothingness, wishing for non-existence, mental suicide.
