So we exist, right?


In some way or form. But it has been proposed that we don't actually exist in a physical world, that the apparently "hard physical world" is just an illusion of our mind/consciousness. While we experience the world through our senses, who is to say that we really have eyes and "see" things. Seeing things might just be an illusion. The same for touch, sound, sense, taste.

It is possible that we live in some sort of holographic "Matrix" like world. Not where we are actually physical bodies plugged into some sort of cocoon, but where our consciousness experiences different lives that only seem real. We may just be energy.


“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”
~ Buddha


yes but even in this "illusion" of a holographic universe the information would be the same so in essence as would we,
