The Illusion of our Existence

I have had some profound thoughts but can they be considered philosophy? I do not know. What I do know is that they have often scared the hell out of me. For at some points I have perceived the truth of my existence and it is quite frightening to say the least. Some nights I wake up and realize that everything, my existence and everyone around me is an illusion. I wonder at the reason for any of it. All of this is just what is conceived in the mind.

It makes me wonder are there people we label as insane really insane or have they realized the truth and are unable to carry on with the illusion anymore.

Our souls are trapped on this plane and project on object reality and in order to interact with them and the other souls trapped here we project the illusion of our bodies that sense this reality even though it is not ours. After this trial we must endure has ended our souls will be released to our true plane of existence where we can be free to understand what we had forgotten.
I am taking philosophy so it has inspired me to write this

    A very mind expanding write. I ask the same questions sometimes..I think every so often we need to ask questions to make sure we are on the path that we want to be on. Great work.

    Interesting seems to be the word of the day, but its hard to find another to explain it. This is mind thrusting, and it throws you into thought. I like this. So many great poems today. Its scary.

    definitely a wonderful theory, worth deep consideration, sometimes i too wonder about why we are here, our purpose, our existence, if at all, i have seen the inside of an institution and i must say it is one of the most beautiful experiences i have ever had........i must go and write now......thankyou for sharing this wonderful food for thought.......hugs...Coralie..

    Very interesting thoughts. It makes me think of all the poets in the world who are and have been bi-polar and are living or lived genius existences. We poets are different from the mainstream. We have many imaginative ideas others don't even consider. This is a great piece of writing. Warm Regards...vivela
