Ideas Unite!

Ideas unite! you have nothing to loose but your chains.
you should ask what you are. who you are. and *if* you are because somebody or something is being you.
I've got an image in my head, of a person who puts their face up to a stretched out piece of stretchy material. It pans to the other side of the material and a pair of eyes open. That is you. The material. The material which now takes the shape of a human face because one is pressed to it. But the material imagines itself to be a face. and why not? After all it is in the shape of a face, the most obvious conclusion is that it is a face.
Why do you exist? This is the possibility that it exists. This is what it feels like.
One might ask the question whether there is nothing or whether there is something. The answer might be, "could go either way". But in infinite time, anything with a probability greater than zero must happen. If the thing is possible, but given infinite time it never happened, this means it was not actually possible after all. If you could go back, you would bet all your money on it never happening, because you know that the probability of it occuring is not one in a thousand or one in a million or one in a googolplex, its not even one in infinity, its none in infinity. Given infinite time, it happened 0 times.
So life, earth, humanity, material reality, these are possibilities, time, space, these are possibilities.
there's a 1 in 1 billion chance that they happen, and this is what it feels like. This is what that 1 feels like. We are the possibility, we only exist because something is giving that possibility a ride, seeing what it feels like.

Going to step back and get my head around this! Thought provoking!
