There is a supreme consciousness that dreams while awake, created who knows where and which even it cannot explain. It simply exists and does not know why or for what purpose, only that it likes to dream. It is constantly learning and therefore makes many mistakes, torn between good and evil, and seems to like at least a small part of each side.
Contemplate one of your dreams and you will see that within the same dream there are characters who seem to have a life of their own, even you yourself act in ways you cannot control, unless you are trained to have lucid dreams, even then while you are in the dream everything seems real, until you wake up and see that it was all like a movie made of pure mental energy.
That's how life is, it's a mirage, we don't really know who we are or the real reason we are here. We are the dream of that great supreme mind, we are the characters in an immeasurable dream.
Some may call me crazy or lunatic, but for me, all this makes more sense than any scientific theory, which always has missing pieces.
This is one of my ideas that explains existence on earth and existence in general. It is the simplest, although it also has many missing pieces, but I believe that existence is so immense and mysterious that no human being can really know what it is all about.
Another idea that explains existence on Earth for me is that life originated much earlier than historians and scientific theories try to explain, thousands of years earlier, on other planets and in other galaxies.
Here on Earth, we are the experiment of a much older race that possesses super-advanced technology. They created us, they have manipulated us in many ways, and they observe us. Some of them want good for their creation, others do not. There is a struggle, a division, like the dual nature of life itself.
Life is a fascinating mystery, sometimes disturbing, and although I have no idea, much less certainty, of what I am in the most literal and accurate sense of the word, I am on the side of the good guys, those who like to see beings live in peace and harmony.
If someone asks me what I am, I can say, "I am a human being. I am a man. I am made of energy. I am made of matter. I am a father, I am a doctor❞. I can use symbols to identify what I am, to justify what I am, to try to understand myself. But, in reality, symbols mean nothing. The truth is that I don't know what I am. The only thing I know is that I am.
