Is it normal to be amazed by awareness?
I am a 21 year old guy living in NYC. Sometimes i really wonder what the hell this all is. What is awareness? Try to imagine yourself as non existent, its impossible because all we know is being alive. What is "life"? Why and how is my heart beating right now? Am i making my heart beat? Am i making myself pump all the nessicary fluids it needs to survive or is it doing it by itself? it feels i am forced into all of the daily basic needs and goals in life,being pushed into acting a certain way and told to be 'successfull' that most of my free time is spent wondering what the hell this all is.Who are you people, where the hell am i, what created me what created this earth, the sun and moon...just endless chatter in my mind. Was it aliens? Well then, who created the aliens? Was it god? who created god? Am i god just pretending im not just for kicks? I dont care about football games and TV shows , i dont care about timmy and lisa breaking up on facebook and how whats his face just bought another BMW and twittered it. I like nice things , but i wont go as far as buying a yacht to let it sit in the boat yard rusting just so i can tell people i have a yacht (not that i can even buy a yacht if i wanted too). Im not into that competitiveness with physical things because when i die i know its not coming with me and its just worthless. I talk to tons of people, priests, pastors, good friends, retards,black people, white people, asians,arabs, and have no one that can relate with me in feeling this feeling. I sometimes think they dont even know they exist. Most of the time they just regurgitate passed down information their mothers and fathers told them. Then this leads me to some solipsism and i feel like im being tricked into thinking life is real, and it could just be some type of program/virtual test that im making up in my mind....It sounds off the wall, but so does "Jesus was the only son of god who rose from the dead" and any other theory or religion about what this all is . I dont want you to get the wrong idea, i do love life, i love my family,and im not just a lazy complainer i truly am confused.I am just amazed at what this all is, and nearly 100% of the people i talk to act like existence is a normal everyday thing.It feels like this is my first time being alive and everyone else has done it before me and they just pretend they dont know what im talking about. Either that or theyre all doped up on ridalin and anxiety pills and cant understand what im talking about. Words can hardly express the feeling im talking about.
