Chapter 859 - Chapter 277: What's Wrong with a World of Illusions? (Losing It)

What is [I]?

What is [The World]?

This is a philosophical question that has puzzled humanity for thousands of years.

Advocates of mechanical control theory believe that humans are actually precise machines, and so-called self-awareness is just an illusion caused by the interaction of neuronal electrical signals.

The elusive self-awareness does not exist.

However, the conclusion of mechanism leads to fatalism, because everything has already been predetermined by material reality.

Just like the sun will inevitably rise in the east and set in the west

The materials within you are destined to make you think and act this way. Every choice, effort, and struggle is an illusion, denying all human efforts and subjective initiative.

Buddhism considers everything in the world to be false, disturbances to the true self.

All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows.
