Your Brain Hallucinates Your Conscious Reality (TED Talk)

I found this interesting and thought others might, particularly the latter part about "self" and assumption of self in the mind.

I seen all those experiments and at about age 7 worked out that if there's nothing after consciousness ends there's nothing to be afraid of.

However I believe explaining to people that everything is basically hallucination is useful because most people are hooked on "reality" as an actual solid anchor. Reality defines them rather than them defining reality. Which in its self is a kind of prison.

However because we are all intertwined (when I say all, I mean all from rocks to amoeba to the wind to humans) all our hallucinations are intertwined. Ive had a joint hallucination at about age 11, no drugs involved, just being lost and hoping we'd see the town.

So my theory, dunno how valid it is and don't care because it's my theory I'm allowed one, is that if more people accept that their experience of the world is a hallucination then they will realise and enjoy better hallucinations and collectively this joint hallucination that we like to call reality will improve.

Major problem is violent tendencies, fatacies etc. Which is why I avoid the news, anything violent to watch and watch comedy or light hearted stuff. Avoid giving energy to anything negative. And my violent thoughts have decreased.

As discussed in another thread singular people have violent thoughts. Our violent thoughts are more likely with one particular person inside us or two. So as a gauge for an example: when younger and filled with rage I'd imagine slicing people up to tiny pieces. After years of avoiding violent stimuli I now imagine stabbing someone with a fork.

So all our joint hallucinatios ie films, the news etc effect our individual hallucinations and our individual hallucinations effect our joint hallucinations.

Many here have parts who live internal "imaginary" lives. We all have, from what I've read here, our own internal landscapes. So I put the idea also that these lives and internal landscapes are as real as so called reality - skating on the edge of "insanity" here but nevertheless - so what if our internal realities are joinable - that'd be f'in weird and amazing although I'd probably like to keep mine to myself and I guess alot of people here would for there own reasons but that'd be a mind blowing concept.

As an aside, this idea is nothing new. The Buddha said this a long while ago without the science experiments (about "reality" being an illusion) - well he more or less said that, he's the Buddha, he said it much better.
