This morning I was looking out of my kitchen window and a thought came to me, as I looked at the trees and the flowers. Sometimes it can be hard for me to imagine that once I never existed.
It sounds like a kind of selfish idea but it is rather profound. For example, when we tell younger siblings stories of events that took place before their birth, they find it hard to grasp; the fact that once upon a time they didn't existe!
Existence is to a point a state of consciousness, although it also goes beyond. Before we were born the world was already in existence. We can see and feel things in our lifetime. We exist.
This is why many people are saddened at the prospect of death, because life continues even after we stop existing. This can be very painful.
Man in this life tends to become trapped with in his own consciousness, he cannot seem to see beyond his own lifespan. Very often not paying much attention to present actions; such as pollution for example. Many of today's politicians will not be around when the real atrocities of their actions surface, but their children will.
There is then, our conscious state of existence, and matter, existing without conscious. Each one affecting the other.
I don't know what I am saying really, these mad things just come into my head...
