I read about a theory once (but forgot the name) that the materialistic world doesn't exist at all. Instead, every organism is just a single consciousness that exists in a universe full of these consciousnesses. So, our bodies are just the imaginations that our minds have created in this non-physical world. I don't exactly believe in this, not because I am against this belief, but simply because it is too complex for me to comprehend. For me to understand something, I have to pretend that it is true in my mind, but how can I do that when I have to imagine nothingness in everything? So, I have come to the conclusion that somewhat agrees with this but not entirely.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether the physical world is "real" or not. If I die, in the hypothetical world of this theory, the effects will still be the same as the effects in the "real" material world. In my opinion, this theory has a somewhat negative view of life. The world as we know is largely the physical world, and yet, it is saying that it is pointless. But then it made me question if that was important at all. Whether it's real or not doesn't matter at all.
All of the consciousnesses that exist may or may not coincide with each other, to form the material world that we know. Or, we could each have a world to ourselves that was created with our consciousnesses individually. This doesn't matter to me either. Why should I wonder about the world of others if I cannot do anything to it? And let's say that I do care. What then? I don't know. In my opinion, this theory made me have a dark realization that, in the end, nothing may matter at all.
