I contemplate my own existance.

On long car rides or when I’m falling asleep or even if I’m bored, I contemplate my own consciousness. I think about why it’s MY consciousness in this body instead of someone else's, or why am I conscious? It is very difficult to even think about, like trying to picture the 12th dimension or something. I was just wondering if anyone else does this ‘cause I have asked many people and they had no idea what I was talking about.

    I do this often. I like to question everything I do. I also wonder about my life purpose, and the life of all humans in general. (sometimes, I even wonder about ailiens, and their possible purpose.

    a sign of you-should-find-better-things-to-think i would say.
    We all did, when we were in highschool, unless u r in highschool...
    The conscious(or soul, or whatever u may want to call it) is just ur brain, ur brain is U,the illusion of soul, and spirit,or some magical conscious are made by ur BRAIN, if u were in another's body, then u would be another person ,cause ur brain is part of the body, if (hypothetically) u switched only brains and would be in a different body then u would think the same as ur former U but u would be in another body...its like hearing ppl saying bout brain transplants ,zero point....am sorry but if ur trying to find the 16743th dimension its not the right place to search,
    So, take a shower, eat somethin and chill the fuck out (:

      I'm not trying to find the 116743rd dimension, I was just saying that what I was thinking about was just hard to contemplate LIKE trying to picture the 12th dimension (which would be hard to think of too).

    I do this all the time as well. I too don't understand how some people can be so concerned about petty things. When a situation comes up, I usually say oh well and move on, while others will try to make it a big deal. I never understood that when there are other things so much bigger out there that I'm always thinking about. Sometimes I feel I am different than others because I'm always in deep thought, it seems.

    This is something I contemplate a lot.

    It is things like this which started religion.

    (some people, if they can't explain things, make it have a supernatural explanation, cop out!)

    Our consciousness is so real! But it is just chemicals and electrical signals, so strange.

    I have dabbled with altered consciousness, which is also very strange (Salvia and LSA) and made me wonder how much everything matters if all your actions do is alter someones electrical signals or something...

    I think about things like that too. The "why my consciousness in this body?" question is an interesting one, isn't it?

    I do it all the time. When I'm not, which is about 20 percent of the time, it's in the middle of my head. Normal, but I've always wondered how other people are more concerned about bullshit.

    A sign of intelligence, I would say.
