Yeah I completely agree with you guys. I wasn't trying to say enlightenment can be reached only through mind altering drugs or anything like that, and I also wasn't saying that people are apathetic, I was just explaining my own observations and trying to understand why so few people show their interest in consciousness or the universe. I agree that no one should live life stuck pondering the meaning of their own existence without ever enjoying reality for what it is. I'm just stuck in this endless cycle of over thinking everything and I don't know how to quiet my mind. I agree with you Anime7, thinking about these things gets you nowhere and even once you have reached a realization, nothing has really changed. So i guess there's my answer, there just really is no point to thinking about these things, because they get you nowhere and your still stuck in the same place you were before. It's such a claustrophobic feeling!
I feel like like life isn't real. It's all just inside my head.
