A world of solid ground with people and trees, oceans with clouds above it and, higher still, the enormous emptiness of space?
Are you one of the billions of people in that world?
If you answer "yes" to those questions, then you are mistaken!
If you were able to answer "yes" to them, then that means that throughout the course of your life you have probably ignored a most important truth.

The fact is, you do not live in the kind of world described above at all. In your world, there is no distance of even a few meters, let alone of billions of kilometers or galaxies light years away. Actually you live in a very small enclosed space-in a tiny, locked room at the top of a giant tower. You have never left that room. You have never stepped outside it or been anywhere else. All you have seen are different shapes, people and spaces reflected on the walls of that room. You have heard only the sounds emitted from loudspeakers concealed in there. In fact, in that little room at the top of the tower, there is nobody else but you. You are entirely alone!
The "tower" we are speaking of is your body, and the little room atop it (in other words, your world) is your brain.

Your brain is a locked room which you can never step out of, because everything you imagine to be the "outside world" in reality consists of perceptions you experience in the visual or hearing centers of your brain. You can never get past those perceptions and experience directly what we refer to as "real matter"-if such a thing even exists. You can watch the electrical signals arriving at the brain's visual center, but you can never see those signals' true source. You literally watch the cinema screen on the walls of your "room," but can never directly experience the originals of those images.
We shall be setting out that truth in this book(the link below) .

What we explain here will, in all likelihood, contradict a great many ideas and concepts that you've become familiar with so far. Yet it is a concrete fact based on scientific proof. Therefore, it's impossible to reject this truth when one thinks about it in a reasoned and logical manner, instead of sticking to familiar preconceptions.
Never forget that ignoring the truth or refusing to think about it gains a person nothing. If anyone says, "No, I live on a planet in an enormous universe, not in a closed room," then he needs to prove the fact. If he cannot do so, then blind belief in any such idea will only lead to his remaining deceived.

What is a truth seeker?
A truth seeker is a restless soul in constant search for something to set his/hers mind at ease, but whenever he finds it, he turns numb, and longs for the emotional turmoil that lay such a solid foundation for creativity. To be alive is to be frustrated.
According to Schopenhauer, will is evil. I profoundly disagree. Will is the only thing that’s good, and without it we would dismember into nothingness and end up as an indistinguishable part of the flat energy of the universe. The world is full of equalisers, and our main obligation is to resist their effort to make us part of the evil grey mass, commonly referred to as ‘people’.
How many have I met who agrees with me? Among people in their twenties, maybe a few, but when I spoke to them a few years later, they had lost their edge, seemingly viewing their once so glorious rebellion as a past stage. The reason for this is that the most vicious of equalisers lies within yourself; The need to feel comfortable. -Not happy, ecstatic, intrigued, inspired, or enthusiastic; no, mindlessly, comfortably at rest with oneself, satisfied with the laciniated set of thoughts one tries to sell off as life-wisdom."

What makes you so sure that this, all of this, is NOT a figure of your imagination. You could be only illusions. The experiences you think you've had may be only a broken synopsis or, a long realistic dream. You might even be the last survivor of a deadly virus, on a planet that has died a long time ago, and the reality of your situation may have been too much for you to handle. So you, therefor retreated into a safe memory. A comfort zone. Better still, your world may have been gone years ago, and what you do is only an electric memory stored in a nuclear powered supercomputer, a virtual reality if you will, and what you perceive as life, is only a combination of memories of interconnected interfaces.....

Well, for starters, there is the "Left_Way" also...
My "Cage" has good legs and arms, it allows me to help the People I find with stoped cars on the Road. Thats why my Cage exists; and it has a self sustained repair system, it transforms air and food into Energy. Temporarily, I go out of my Cage every Night, when I sleep (recharge). Dreams are my training for the one day that my cage won´t work any more, and I will have to leave it. So I don´t feel so trapped...I communicate well with other Cages.
You forgot to mention another Cage I am into: Since I was born Here, I am trapped in the "Ethernal Now". "Now "I think about the future plans (Tomorow never comes) and "Now" I remember yersterday (History) Or at least my caption of that yesterday...
"¿Important Truths?" I don´t know. I am too bussy Enjoying the most Beautiful Prison Right Now (not Left Now)
When my Prison will be Left Now = Death (another illusion: the pretext for our relatives to appreciate us, when we are no longer in Prison)

What I see with humanely eyes and feel with my heart is all that I care.Thinking about what is not and going beyond the visible is like turning away from facts as provided to us. For us stars are small let it be like that and not imagine them to be of enormous size,although a reality but is still an imagination for most of the eyes looking at them. Life is a poetry the rhythm and verses let people appreciate it and interpret as they understand.

Ok..... Anyway! Astronauts has been to the space, you know. But, why would anyone ever wan't to go further in space in a rocket? I mean, we all just have to admit it. We wan't to be here on earth and eat our food and stuff. And there are so many places on earth that no one ever gets to see them all. We can watch the space in the evenings and the nights. And, isn't the northern light just about enough ´´magic´´ for you? You can watch the space from an observatory if you want.

It comes down to the "sense doors". All that we experience is usually from the senses; sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and mind. To close these doors, or gently push them shut (in Meditation) we then can understand. Most of us only believe in what is experienced through these doors.
The grand illusion...
All is impermanent, all is in a state constant change. Ones own belief is unimportant, except to the one that is experiencing their own path. We all have our own lessons to learn. To judge someone else's path is not our business. To be at peace, have compassion for all beings and to love. That is my world. Equanimity is the first step to altruism.
