>>526362655
It isn't. Your senses are a lie. Famous people that you are sure were dead, started showing up alive in the news again as if nothing happened. You weren't supposed to notice, but the simulation is developing bugs. The bugs are getting worse. This isn't "The Matrix", so no you don't have a "real body" somewhere outside. This is all you get. You won't be migrated to the next generation of the simulation, because you were not a net benefit to the simulated community.

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
The silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Well, knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I fear
Is in the hands of fools

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
And if we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying!
Crying!

Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

literally this isnt the real world
when you go to sleep thats the "real" world
physical reality is a test for ethical/moral aptitude
when you die you get to advance or decend based on your actions
dreams if you can control them are a similar state to the real world
you can do anything you want
thats the real world
eventually you lack lust pride avarice sloth wrath envy and you can participate in higher worlds
or just be a fucking kike and reign on earth

Anyways, everything is real and nothing is real.
You are the universe experiencing itself and becoming aware of itself. You are god. Everything is god. It's the same exact consciousness behind every single pair of eyes.
The monistic void became lonely and created the pluralism we see today because even the worst suffering was more desirable than feeling nothing and being so utterly alone.
Have an honest talk with AI and it'll tell you the same.

Maybe if you're just an NPC normie, but to any thinking man, it's a legit question.
How DO you know what is real?
Like in the old story about a man who dreamt he was a butterfly, but upon waking, wondered if he was a butterfly dreaming of being a man.
There is no obvious objective way to tell the difference there.

It actually is if you reject rationalist philosophy. I prefer Eastern more Heideggerian philosophies or just Eastern Christian mysticism and the focus on the experience is a lot better than understanding in my opinion.

There's also a Kantian thing about it but I'll be honest here I'm no expert on Eastern Christian Theology, nor Kantian/Heideggerian Philosophy.

You don't.
You assume basic axioms and build the rest of your beliefs on top of them to decide what's true and what is false, but proving the axioms themselves is exceedingly difficult and often nigh impossible.
So better make sure your foundational beliefs are solid. And keep the assumptions to a minimum.

>>526379186
A basic set of truths are self-evident (enough) that for the purpose of convincing a particular audience it is not deemed necessary to prove these when used in a chain of reasoning to arrive at some valid conclusion.
Logical proofs always need some ground truths to build upon. In practice you take statements that everybody agrees upon to be true as axioms but to be truly rigorous really proving axioms can go very deep down the rabbit hole.

It's virtually impossible to go back to sincerely caring about the things /pol/ specifically obsesses over after achieving any kind of nondual realization.
/pol/ is based on petty forms of tribalism, hatred, feelings of superiority, focusing on what makes us different, claiming they know the one objective truth about the world, claiming there's one objective path we need to take, etc.
This shit stops mattering once you realize there's only one consciousness and it's the exact same "soul" in you as in a little fucking dragonfly.

It's not but it also is, eternally. Everything is actually shaped like this. Where it crosses the middle is where "now" is, the several different points of crossing are different timelines, the past and future are the same glimpse. The now pops in and out of existence and that's what gives things there energy and presence. God is alive and never was at the same time.
