Consciousness

We are all part of the same universe, but why do I only see things through my own eyes? In the beginning, there were only stones and plants that have no consciousness. Then came animals that have consciousness, and finally humans who are able to contemplate what consciousness is. Is it so that there is only one consciousness in the universe, but it is divided among beings? In us humans, consciousness is constantly growing apart. Consciousness is constantly reaching a higher and higher level. When people sleep, they give their consciousness for others to use so that they can achieve a greater consciousness. If you stay awake for too long, you will have memory problems and go crazy.

In psychosis, consciousness takes a leap to a higher level, and you can easily go crazy if you don't hold on to mundane things. Humor and memes help us maintain our sanity. In psychosis, you start to believe that you can change things with the power of thought, the order of cause and effect is reversed, and you feel like you are in a time loop from which you can only escape by trying something new that you are afraid of.

Why do people sleep? People strive for lucid dreaming where all dreams come true, but balance is important; it's easy to fear that your worst fears will come true. You have to be happy with this moment because it is the only thing that exists. If you are afraid, then your worst fears will come true. If you are happy, it will spread to others.

The Trip

We are all on The Trip from birth to death, Big Bang to Heat Death of the Universe. Some people want to live fast and die young, some want to live slow and die whenever. Some people choose to be reincarnated as medieval peasants to see what it would feel like. You will be reincarnated as all your doctors and caretakers, your friends and enemies, so you should take good care of them too. The Universe lives for the longest time. You decide who you take along on your Trip.
