Yunus Ali Akbas, Most of what people call scientific facts are based upon dogmatic assumptions closing so many doors to possible areas of research. One of the dogmatic assumptions is that the universe is made out of unconscious matter, there's no consciousness in stars, in planets, in plants, in animals so they ought to be any in us either. So they've spent over a century trying to prove that we're not conscious at all.

​@@Shlogger I think what separates consciousness from physical matter is the fact that consciousness cannot be represented in its entirety by purely mathematical or physical descriptions. The primary features or qualities of consciousness (subjectivity, awareness, attention, perception, emotional experience, etc) simly don't meet the definition of a Newtonian object (which has mass, shape, momentum, charge, etc). There's not even a definition of consciousness in any biological, physics, or mathematical text book. We ourselves don't even know how to get subjects out of objects i.e. we know of no process by which conscious entities can be derived from unconscious matter or by computational process. I think it's really an empirical question, though... Something we'll have to figure out by careful experimentation and observation.

All the hallucinations were so real that I remember the feeling of my friend touching my arm, even thought he wasn't really there. And one point I was able to control my dreams and hallucinations but I wouldn't wish going through that on my worst enemy. I feel so bad for people that just know that as life, there is no way for them to get better.

All your _life_ will ever be, but not all _you_ wil ever be. There is no death, only return to a higher state of consciousness. The remarkable studies on near-death experiences and reincarnation give very strong evidence for existence beyond death, and beyond birth too! Now take the rather ‘spooky’ and jarring, mind-bending experiences brought on by certain psychedelics, and by experiences we can all try out like astral projection and remote viewing. These will give you an experiential insight into this ‘beyond lived reality’ kind of understanding of existence that NDEs and knowledge of reincarnation can lead us to. This stuff is very real, and highly confusing - but anyone can check it out. And understanding can help us build a fuller picture of our place in the universe; in reality. Look it up! :)

When we agree on "reality," it's because we are similar creatures with similar experiences. When a rare individual comes with a different view, he may be labelled either a genius or a madman depending on how many people he is able to convince.

No matter what the explanation for everything we experience is, the fact that there is anything at all to experience is a most humbling and fascinating thing.

When ur on your phone your brain doesn't have the visual information but it still tries to fill in what you didn't understand with context and personal speech experience. It does the same thing over the phone except with one less variable to help.

You are factually and logically incorrect. A hallucination is, by definition, the perception of something which is not actually present in reality. In other words, it's a trick of your brain. If we all hallucinated at the same time, it would NOT be the case (again, by definition) that the hallucination was reality. In fact, it would be very likely that we would find evidence later on that we had all hallucinated.
