Is life one big Thought????

Question

and if so who came first the thinker or the thought.

Answer 1

Nope it is more like a big slap on the face.

Answer 2

haha nice analogy for the chiken and the egg,

i believe that life may be one big thought,

if that were the case then i believe the thought came first and created us the thinkers...

Answer 3

"Life is one big thought" - This would imply that everything that is there is just a thought. That itself implies that the thinker that you are talking about is also a thought. So now tell me who came first... the thinker or the thought.

The thinker, the thought (and also the observer for that matter) are all one and the same and so the question who came first does not actually arise.

Interesting :-)

Answer 7

We only exist on a mental level. We are each others memories. What exists only exists because we acknowledge its existence with a memory. If no one remembered you, then you never existed in a physical sense. So life is more like one big dream than a thought. Nothing really physically exists, we live inside each other. When you put all of the nothing together, you get everything. There is no "I," but there is a "we." Everything put together is God, true balance. God only exists because we, the dream, exist. Thus, God being a dreamer is only active in the fact the dream exists. Everything exists because of the universe's struggle between nature and nurture, or from trying to be a we vs. trying to be an I. This is true evolution, from choas to adjustment to peace to adjustment and back again. The universe is just a big explosion of egos forming one big ego.

Answer 8

your question is one of monistic idealism vs deterministic realism

monistic idealism states that consciousness is primary and fundamental to physical matter and Cartesian duel ism is false, deterministic realism states that physical matter is all there is and consciousness is merely a secondary by product of physical matter.  who knows they both can and do have good arguments  

Answer 9

It doesn't matter. Whether its a thought or reality, your still alive, so you should live your life because either way, its still your life.

Answer 10

No, it isn't.

Answer 11

well that depends on who you are. like some people have put 'it's a slap in the face' but that is their opinion and then you have yours so i you think there was one thinker that started the universe or it just happened (like other things in life) then that is what makes you unique  

Answer 12

it depend on your philosophy on life. but i personally think the thinker, because you can just have build a new house with out the blue prints in you know what i mean you have to have an idea, then you make your idea grow by building it.
