My niece who's in her late 20's says there are 26 different sexes, her and her boyfriend identify as Binary. I have no idea what that means so I looked it up in Wikipedia, I still don't understand but please don't bother explaining.
Also she says there is no him or her, he or she etc as everyone is a they, she gets annoyed if you don't refer to people as they. So if I was to say Lotofwind, he is funny that'd be a big no no, I should say Lotofwind, they is funny, I think that's funny.

Oops I realise I made a mistake above, I should have said, they and they theyfriend identify as Binary, or is it they and theyfriend

I think they (I mean the collective younger generation, not the individual person) are just trying to mess with the older generations heads.

The way I see it, if an individual wants to be referred to as they, it suggests they may have multiple personalities rather than their sexual preference.

Or is it just that age old question. Who am I (they)? Why am I (they) here? What is my (they) purpose in life? Are we (they) living in a Matrix? Is there a God? Is god a he or she? What if god has no preference?

You see what they've done!

I'm so confused!

Imagine being an English teacher right now!

Where does your physiological identity come from? Your brain.

But the brain tells lies! You can't trust it, just look at the experiments with fake hands.
You're not necessarily what the brain tells you you are.

That's why you can watch your thoughts. Then you ask what is watching them.

Lucid dreams?
Had any ?
if you are smart you could even take control of this action movie of yours...(even bent some PC rules ,once nobody is watching (till obviously time when somebody could punish you for illegal thought) )

In answer to the question posed in the thread heading I say yes.

It is a question that only requires a yes or no answer so I fail to see the point of the discussion crapola that has gone on in this thread.

Lucid dreams , I used to be able to do it a couple times a week , there are techniques, I was getting good at it . So much fun . Rarely now , but I still try . When you experience , when you know when your dreaming , it changes the way you think bout reality in many ways .
The thing about dreaming is that it is 100% real when dreaming .We could be dreaming now , ( my wife tells me all the time ) . Maybe when we die we finally wake up ?
I can be entertaining , late , around a camp fire . At least it makes others feel less strange . I'll take that for the team

It is really fun , indeed , once you learned to exploit lucid dreams. But sometimes even lucid could become such entangled , like a matrix itself that I keep asking myself if that is real or fiction, Because in real world you pay real price for what in the dream comes free.
You could navigate suddenly your dream in direction required, once you realized that in only fiction.
I still wish to realize that our whole world is also computer simulation, one day.
Because every computer simulation can be hacked, exploited, but in real life is not mercy and no shortcuts.
For example our famous iron hero Elon could be one of those hackers, because amount of lucky circumstances around him exceed typical randomness, stochastically impossible just happen to him.

Nice crapola,

The problem with going so deep is it becomes useless . We are stuck in the so called awake state and if you worry about it , it can make you sad or mad. I accept this , so I just have some fun with it . It is more than just knowing that your dreaming and controlling where you go with it , all the senses like , feel , smell ,temp , colours are stronger than when awake . Kinda more real than real . Sadly it doesnt last longer than a few minutes .

Astral travel is similar but different. That's a bit more scary . I think they are connected .

And if your wondering , totally straight

Adding yet more to the crapola list .

I love experiments. Any concept or theory is completely useless unless you could provide experiment to confirm or deny it.

To test my concept of "lucid life" we could extend concept and assume that is not different to " lucid dream".
The point/ goal is to find the glitch in the system.
In order hack it, we need to find correlation and rules that govern this external programming.
Observation could lead to the spotting the weakness - if there is any.
Pattern.
Spotting the pattern that go outside " superstitious thinking" .
But finding real relationships between events uncorrelated.
Unfortunately everybody has only very limited time for the search and execute. Then life time experience can not be repeated or transferred.
Beginners lucid life observers could start experiment with simple question:
If everything happening to them could be explained in rational and logical manner ?

I'm not into conspiracy theories nor do I own a tin hat , I just enjoy playing with my sleep sequence . I have no real idea what happens when I do this but I'm sure it's just in my head . Things do get strange I must admit . I'm sure im not in a matrix .

Just saying.

Well the light that has finnally got here from distant galaxies is observed. At that particular moment "light", as our crude language convention describes, is present. But the mind infers we are looking at the past. The only true reality at that point is the observed light.

lucid live or lucid dreaming are not different at their fundamental core. Just ask so called crazy people what they observe and interpret in the waking state. What they believe.

Lucid live and lucid dreaming share one and only one fundamental truth. That something is conscious (is aware) of whatever is unfolding. The mind then interprets this aware knowing through whatever parameters that particular indivduals architecture in their mind.


But the varying individual software programme is overall entirely irrelevant because all 7 billion or so programmes all share this fundamental ability to be conscious, to observe. This observational ability illuminates the varying play of form, whether being so called awake or dreaming.


But scientists are missing (although some are starting to look as physics has but stalled to a grinding stop for many decades) a key point. They assume matter is reality and consciousness is a by product of matter being complicated enough to then generate consciousness.

but what if this fundamental consciousness is reality itself. And rest, including the mind, is just a modulation within this infinite field of potentiality.

this seems to support direct experience better than the matter model. Which is purely theoretical in the end. It also may explain how fricken weirder it gets the more subatomic you go.


if you are reading this in your room right now the ONLY thing you can be 100 Percent certain of is you are aware or conscious. The rest is highly debatable depending on what programme you have made up and are running. The rest is just a dance of crazy assumptions and interpretations.


alice in wonderland was far more than a fictional story of some chick falling in a hole and meeting some crazy creatures. The dude had a genius mind and was trying to convey what we are talking about now.

more crapola indeed.

Talking of big , possibly the universe is one giant brain .
or ,
Possibly only my mind exists , you and everything else is only in my imagination.
Possibly I'm singularity.
