What if everyone sees colors differently?

What if everyone just calls it the same thing because they've been trained to?

What if when I see orange and another person sees orange it's not even the same thing?

What if this means different levels of consciousness exist? What if cosmic consciousness actually is legit?

Damn, what if we are all going to evolve into this higher consciousness? What will the world be like?

And what if higher consciousness is death? And when we are dead we are born into a higher state of consciousness?

A lot of people spend their lives wondering why they are here, who they are, and what if when we die all of that is answered as we level up into a higher more powerful state of mind? And what if the same state of mind we emerge into when we die is the one we explore while we sleep?

What if our dreams are more of a reality than what we perceive as reality?

My thought is how there's no shame in death, ever. You could die with a shit hanging out of your arse and it wouldn't matter to you at all because you'd be dead.

Even if you aren't holding something, its weight still exists. Try picking something up, sensing its weight, putting it down, picking it up, sensing its weight, putting it down, and so on, again and again, until you're truly aware of how it really is just a bunch of bonded particles being pulled in the direction we class as 'downwards' by the invisible gravitational force of earth.

Y'know how you have to 'fight' a magnet when you start to move a metal object away from it? Well... The earth is like that magnet and everything is the metal object.

Go on, hold something until you realise you aren't just holding it, but you're actually counteracting the 'magnetic' pull of the earth. It's a weird feeling. Stretch your arm out in front of you. What's pulling your arm down? Hmm? Why is it so hard to keep your hand up in that position? Hmmm? Even your own body is being pulled towards earth, and there's nothing you can do about it!

Haha, and there has to be some kind of hilarity in the fact that there's a single apple, which hasn't moved for days, sitting on this otherwise bare table in front of me.

CHEERS NEWTON.

(How many of you just held your arm out and picked up some random objects to test what I was talking about..?)

You do realize you are talking to INTPs, Right? I think I speak for most of us when I say we read your post not with the gaining of knowledge, but pointing out everything you said that was the least bit inaccurate. :)

What was inaccurate? What was I trying to teach? I was just describing my sudden awareness of gravity. Come on, it's not like we all spend every second consciously aware of how we're actually wading away in a continuous battle against the pull of the earth.

I bet you held your arm out anyway.

That's one bet I win today.

Describing the earth as a magnet and everything else as metal is inaccurate. In reality, if you want to use a magnet to illustrate, the earth is like one pole of a magnet and everything else is the opposite. The Earth is just the stronger of the magnets. Everything is pulling on the Earth. and we aren't just being pulled downward. We are also being pulled upwards by the sun and moon. Even the stars that are lightyears away

But I will give it to you that I do take for granted most of the time that the Earth is pulling me down.

Very good but wholly pedantic. As I said, my point was just about my sudden, insanity-inducing awareness of the strange invisible force keeping my feet on the ground. The words I used were simply illustrative, in a way that hopefully anyone would be able to understand.

And anyway (my turn to be a pedant), I didn't say the earth is a magnet, I just said it pulls like a magnet, which means I was describing the pull of gravity with a simile. And it's true - the feel of an object being pulled towards earth is the same as the feel of something metal being pulled towards a magnet. So in that respect the gravitational pull of the earth certainly is 'like a magnet'. Hence, also, my later, and apostrophised, use of 'magnetism' in continuation of my description.

Therefore, within the boundaries and understandings of the English language, I do believe there was nothing inaccurate at all with what I said!

Woohoo!
