Knowing your own existence is not the ground from which your life springs. That is not to say that human bodies do not exist, or that important stuff isn't going on. Swarms of genes take advantage of the laws of physics and produce massively complex organic machines, and for a (life)time, those processes "remain" (alive) and committed to experimenting with various desires. This experimenting produces in these organic machines senses that there is a self that is engaging in a journey with destinations and plans. Not the other way around. It is a myth that there is a "you" that chooses desires. Your desires, which are born out of love and affirmation, not lack, choose and make you. The journey is a construct, a story being written "live" by an accretion of doings. We call this story "Me!" <3

I'll only ever know 2 things for absolute certainty. Both are subjective. One is religious. For me the only 2 things I know are, I am here, and there is a God. Anything beyond that becomes questionable. Why am I here? Who knows.... What is God? Who knows.... On and on and on, but those 2 simple truths are always true to me. Everything else is just a reciprication of influences experienced.

So do you exist?

To you there is an existence to experience right?

We are all just part of a space turtle's dream.

when we are the pinnacle of all known creation

that would be true if we were to explore our full potential in this jail of a society.
people tend to forget that they don't really try to live, they conform to society that totally act against life and then they wonder why it is pointless. because conforming is pointless. money is money, we talk about life here.
of course it is kinda hard or dangerous to not conform, all by yourself, despised by all, but the living force make it so that if you actually fight for it, it is worth it as the unicity of your existence flourish, revealing to you your purpose as a living being. life maintain itself a way or another, overpopulation instrumentalises it for instance.

from my point of you, death in the matter, makes you lose your unicity and so your purpose.
people see themself as alive but they are as alive as they are dead or we would be immortal, so i think that before asking yourself your purpose as it should come naturally to you while living, you better ask yourself if you're a better representative of life, or death.

how do you know you exist ? as part of a whole, you represent causes and consequences. i believe in free will but in our time of influences and manipulations, don't think you will get it conforming to the beliefs of the mass.

there is nothing good or bad, things are just fair or unfair, there were people before us and it is fair that we also pay for their mistake for example.
causes and consequences...

Only a human is stupid enough to question if it is real or not...

The trick is not to question, the trick is to obey. Obey the State and the Kupoland will provide Comrade.
