I have too much free time

[Zephik]

I was thinking about a theoretical question(s) today and I just thought I would share it with you guys and see what you all think.

Is it possible to exist in your mind for days apon days but only exist in the real world for a few seconds? Does that make sense? Could your mind convince you that you have lived numerous life times but in the physical world you have only lived once and only part of that one lifetime at that? What would happen to your body if your mind thought it had already lived and died? Would your body die as well? Like if your brain convinced itself that it just died, would you die? Or maybe it is convinced that you are old when in the physical world you are young. Would you become old at a accelerated rate so your body could catch up to your mind?

Or to ask a more simple question...

Your mind affects your body and your body affects your mind. But to what degree?

[CanaBalistic]

Intresting... Do you remember when they first came out with virtual reality? There was a theroy that if you were in VR and died, you would become brain dead.

The aging process takes place at a pre-determined rate according to environmental conditions and your peticular celular decay rate. No matter what, you cant age any faster or slower.

Time is unrealavent to the brain. To coin a phrase from LLCool J: If you put your hand on a hot burner, a second can seem like an hour. But if you put your hands on a pretty girl, an hour can seem like a second.

lol good quote.

Obviously if you eat unhealthy or healthy you can affect your mind. But to what degree can the human mind affect the human body? Or other things for that matter. Like in "what the bleep do we know" they had a bunch of people meditate for a 25 percent decrease in crime rate and the following year it was a 25 percent decrease. Also with the water test thing they had, just by how you think of water, can it really change it? ...and we are how much percent water?

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Here's one for the greatest of philosophers, good ol' D. Adams!

If you can defeat the presence of "time" in your mind all together, you can live forever and have lived never.

yeah. you can live forever until you die at which point your personal perception of "time" (or lack thereof) is rather moot.

Thats a wierd thought... if time didnt exist in your mind but it exists in your body... o.O

Hehe one of my favorite authors.

SEP. one of my favorite lines from the HHGTTG series.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was one of the best books. (snowfire you would like the philosiphy behind the book.)
