Just feels like there's something about reality, some kind of secret that if I can just understand, then it will unlock something in me that explains everything about reality, like a higher state of consciousness, I think. Or something like that. I'm not sure what it is, enlightenment, gnosis, or what. You guys know what I mean? I want illumination and understandingI think maybe dreams might have something to do with it, maybe Jesus or religion, idk It's like a mysterious elusive concept that's always just outside my peripheral What book do I read for this? Do you guys know what I mean?

>>24728577That never goes away and you never figure it out unless you become psychotic.A lot of people become psychotic as they get closer to death, and confuse it with finding the great Truth.
>>24728586That sounds like an interesting book, thanks

>>24728577here are some tips for you, anon.the senses cannot exhaust reality. our models of reality cannot exhaust reality. the map is not the territory, the signifier can never fully encapsulate the signified. all we know are particulars, but they all conform to something universal, because they all have existence, which is universal. things fade and disintegrate, but also generate and unify, all through time, but not all at the same time. what's the only thing that doesn't change? existence, which is persistence. even before time had an arrow due to entropy after rapid expansion of the universe, existence still was and is. well, hope that helps. good luck!
>>24728577I've recently come to the realization that perhaps giving up on trying to understand the world is the key to happiness, that is, not trying to absorb and turn any concept into a logical flowchart and simply going along with itwe're prisoners in this world, and I'm increasingly accepting that and breaking off the illusion there's hope, because there isn't basically im going insane
>>24728577It's called Sein as opposed to Dasein. Read Heidegger.
