Some things exist but there are not real. Some things are real but there don't exist.

Dude, seriously, when you convert a mental concept into linguistically symbolic words it is instantly diluted into mere interpretative conjecture. Thinking and articulating are totally different. The former concept deals with ideas that you the individual can actually sculpt and understand, the other involves marketing these ideas to a mass arena of communication.

Talk is cheap, and dictionaries are the linguistic crutches of the artistically destitute masses (to which I unashamedly belong).

In the words of a wise man...

All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration and we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death and life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves...

any questions?

I think someone needs to take the "Red Pill" and see if it works, otherwise reality is just what it is. nothing more nothing less.
