Hi everyone, my question is as follows:
How is it possible that my conscious existence/experience exists, if I have not decided to exist at all? How is it possible that I exist against my will, because may be I do not want to exist? How is it possible that I exist, since i have not decided to come into being?
Thanks in advanced

Re: Nature of existence
My answer follows your question.
in any matters of importance. dont rely on me. i may not know what i am talking about. take what i say as mere speculation. i am not ordained. nor do i have a formal training. i do believe though that if i am wrong on any point. there are those on this site who i hope will quickly point out my mistakes.

Re: Nature of existence
If you can find where this “I” you are referring to actually exists, where it is located, how long it has been there, start there.Yklah wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 6:56 pmHow is it possible that my conscious existence/experience exists, if I have not decided to exist at all?
