Realization that the physical world doesn't exist

[Cosmin Visan]

Why do people not realize that the physical world doesn't exist, that is just an idea in consciousness ?

OK. But how would things be different if the physical world did exist?

Maybe because we are not conscious and you are the only conscious being in the universe.  Maybe that's why we think you are a crackpot.

Because everyone agrees on the same idea.  Reality is intersubjective
agreement.

Or maybe, what you call "intersubjective agreement" is nothing more than a subtle collective illusion? AG

Maybe, but in the meantime I'm betting on reality.

They co-exist, but what you mock is hidden. AG

When a superior man hears of the Tao,

he immediately begins to embody it.

When an average man hears of the Tao,

he half believes it, half doubts it.

When a foolish man hears of the Tao,

he laughs out loud.

If he didn't laugh,

it wouldn't be the Tao.
