Ouch
Without an experiencer there is no experience.
You responded to yourself.
Vibrations form sounds only when translated by an ear into sound. Otherwise they remain vibrations.
The real mindfuck is realizing this, then asking if time exists when no one is around to experience it.
Without your ear the sound does not exist. Without your mind time does not exist. Without you reality does not exist.
Nicely put
Like a monologue from a play, one eternal scene from a play, never-ending. The rest of the play is implied but not experienced directly. It doesn't actually exist, except as a potential.
The phenomenal world we experience is a dream with no inherent existence. You may not have gone far enough to see that yet. It isn't the comfiest feeling at first.
I had my spiritual breakthroughs while lurking 8/pol/. Donald Trump, Hitler, and Chögyam Trungpa. What a mindfuck.
When you wake up from a dream you realize everyone in the dream was you. You created them, you controlled them, and your mind automatically and intentionally withheld this information from you while you were asleep. You are either ready to wake up or you are not, and if you are not it's none of my business. Bless you and good fortune in your endeavors, friend.
I mostly lurk.
Reassuringly, comfortingly so.
Wonderful summation. Saving that.
Enjoy it while it lasts, I suppose.
Looking forward to the Pure Land, if I am so fortunate.
Ups and downs, baby steps, 2 forward 1 back, that sort of thing. Waves crashing against the shore, receeding and returning. Ebb and flow with it and you will float unharmed atop the crests. Sink down and be devastated. It's all in how you look at it.
Much love and aloha, friend.

When you are ready to wake up you wake up. That simple. Like childbirth. Babies are born when they are ready.
Every past life was yours, and mine. All of them.
