When senses are gone, what remains?



Here is a rehearsal that helped me to realize how everything becomes reality and how easily it´s gone.

Sense play

We use our 5 physical senses to play with.

Seeing
Tasting
Smelling
Hearing
Sensing and feeling

By these 5 senses, our world seems to take form and exist. That perception we believe to be our reality.

Let´s examine this.

Lay down and relax. Notice all your senses and what they produce.
Be aware of it all for a while.

Now we start cutting.

First close your eyes. In a blink of an eye, the whole surroundings with its shapes disappear.
Now the visual sight of your existence is gone. No more existing. Only black.
If you imagine, that you would never have had your eyes open, would you know about the world and surroundings existing? Are you sure all is still there without opening your eyes.
Now you have 4 more senses proving the reality.

Now we move to the tasting. Imagine that you cannot taste anything. The whole tasting ability is gone.
Damn, there went the delicious tastes of everything. Absolutely the same what to feed the body with.
Though now there might go something that has gone bad and is not healthy for the body.

Time for smelling to disappear. You can´t smell a thing. No odors, nothing.
There went the important tool to enjoy good odors and discover what has gone bad.
All what you can do with your nose is breathing. That can still be sensed.

The existing starts to be quite different at this point. There is only sounds left and sensations with feelings by the body.

Let´s remove hearing. No sounds. Complete silence. No signs of anything or anybody else unless, something touches your body. You are completely alone with your thoughts and feelings.

Now the final hit. The sensation capability of the body is gone. Total num.
This was the last thing that made you think, the body existed. Now it is gone. No proof of it.
You have no idea if there is anything existing in any form. Silence with darkness with thoughts travelling around.


Go deep into each of the steps here and really look and feel, how it would be. If you look very carefully. Despites everything sensed is gone, there is this sensation of awareness.
Something still exists. What is this existing that remains? Some kind of consciousness.
So, there must be something greater than this physical existence, which is not depended of the physical existence.

This way we can see how the whole physical reality is created only by our physical senses. Without them, it disappears. So what is the truth of personal existence? Do you exist as a separate unit? Is there any separation at all?

From that state the body could as well be death, without “me” knowing it.
So the reality is delivered through body, but not by the body. Through body the senses appear and there by the physical world appears. A hologram or projection. When required components are in place, the existence appears and when removed, the existence disappears.

A creator playing game by creating and experiencing the creation through the created.
