Help me figure out reality

Ok. So here goes nothing. Hopefully that sentence doesn’t turn out being literal.

The big question is how does something come from nothing, but let’s take a huge step back here. What even is something? What even is nothing? These are just words. Something and nothing only seem to exist within context. You know when to take every color of paint in the arts n’ crafts store, and mix them all together you get black. I imagine if you hear all the sounds play at one time it sounds like silence.

We as human beings living on this particular planet only have a certain kind of perspective that requires concepts of something and nothing. Things do inhabit the empty spaces in life though. Might I suggest that nothing simply isn’t possible in the grand scheme of things. So something also doesn’t exist, not without the concept of nothing. So how does something come out of nothing? That is ultimately a nonsense question. Something and nothing are the same.

The vast empty space, before the universe began. I don’t know where else to take this.

Also! When people consume mind altering substances, they want to turn around and say they finally understand it all, that they talked to aliens and such. I can easily tell that’s just chemical reactions in the brain. They various belief systems they how adopted through that whole process is just the product of being in a certain mental state. However what stumps me is, isn’t that also true no matter what. Aren’t we all just experiencing reality through chemicals and electrical signals? So let’s say you’re physically onboard the mothership hanging out with aliens. Ultimately how is that different from the mind altering experience back on earth? Either way you’re just dealing with what goes on inside your head.

I think it all goes back to the ultimate fact that true objectivity is impossible to reach since we’re ultimately only able to experience the world through our bodies. Yes I believe we have more than 5 senses. These bodies are the sum total of millions of years of natural selection. Consider the tiger. We see the tiger as being a bright orange, hardly a color that can blend in to its environment in order for it to stalk prey. However the animals it hunts cannot perceive the color orange. To them the tiger is green.

We’re still animals on this planet and we can only go as far as our bodies, and mind, can allow. So how can we possibly hope to find the ultimate truth, and ultimate answer? May I suggest that there was never really an ultimate question to begin with. The only reason why I ask the bigs questions in life is because im bored, and I’m lonely. So I have nobody to hang out with and share my life with outside the internet. I know im not the only one that feels this. You still crave aliens? Do cows in a factory farm know about gazelles and buffaloes and cats and dogs and so on and so forth? That’s why we’re lonely! That’s why this sort of thinking is making the rounds right now. The powers that be have won.

As we deconstruct reality, we have to realize that we only deconstruct it because the lives we once lived have already been deconstructed. Now we live in our minds and pain is the fuel that drives this quest. I know I do this because maybe there’s something there we’ve missed. Something in the realm of an ancient technology long forgotten. I fear to even to bring up the concept of magic or magick because of all the charlatans out there. This magick is something we can actually experiment with though. See what works, see what doesn’t. Maybe imagination isn’t what we’ve been lead to believe.

I wonder if it’s actually possible to change reality through art. Art is what I know and what im good at. Even the word art has been tainted, but I still think it necessary to use that word for the sake of ease. People often overlook the power of images. They really do influence our imagination, even at a base level. I’d like to see what we can accomplish through the arts. Why? Cause I’m bored, im lonely, and I think I actually believe there’s still a bit of fun to be had in the process.
