Is the world just a stage and we are actors?

[blazeofglory]

We dramatize real life but real life too dramatizes an act played on the stage. We see big things, hope big, dream big and think big, and ultimately we will shrink smaller and smaller and into a creepy-crawly at the end of the play the way Kafka presented in the Metamorphosis.
I am confused between substance / reality and illusion. For what we call light is nothing but the observation by our eyes, and noises do not exist for the deaf.

We all are simply bubbles and things seem spatial and at the end of the day everything ends up. This is a pessimistic but realistic view and as a matter of fact life is simply a mystery. Everything is indistinct, a projection of ideas and imaginations. Materialists may be sour on us and spiritualists may cheer up when we believe in some power behind every action.

Is the existence of God is an answer? The question crops up - which God? What we perceive of God is simply mythological gods based on what we heard from grandmas or mythological books only. There is nothing to measure up the existence of God.
I am really unsure. I cannot remain delimited by a materialistic approach to life nor a spiritual one.

I simply wonder at the creation of the comos.

Hi there blaze,

I do not claim that I am able to provide an answer for your ultimate question but I saw something interesting in your contemplation that I would like to point out; If noise do not exist for the deaf simply because he lack the ability to receive it, doesn't it seem appropriate that God may be there but we just lack the similar ability to perceive him?

However, the deaf would have some notion of "noise" when he witnesses surrounding people communicating to each other, plugging in to earpieces, playing instruments, singing in a choir etc etc. Hence although he do not experience noise, his other senses such as visual sight might have helped him establish the probable existence of such an entity.

We might not possess a sixth sense/supernatural ability to measure the existence of god, which is similar to how the deaf not possessing the aural ability to measure the existence of sound. What we can learn from the deaf is to rely on our five available senses to make a notion of this so called "Godly Phenomenon", which I believe was the very same phenomenon that has lead to the creation of what you described as "mythological gods based on what we heard from grandmas or mythological books" during their era. In fact, even in our times we are constantly creating new gods.

For me, I am a free thinker. I oppose the labeling of the name "God" to any religious figure. "God" is just an label, but the miracles and faith we experience are universal. I would personally much more prefer relying on my experiences to guide myself. Perhaps one day, our collective cognition would develop a "sixth sense" to explain the creation of cosmos which we did not have before. Am looking forward to that day!

I thought it might be nice for everyone who needs this to write down why here. The issue tracker thread is for votes only. I'll start.
