I had this strange conversation with a co worker yesterday and got to thinking more about it today.
The idea they were talking about was, maybe I am already dead and everything around me, things I do on a daily basis, places I go, etc, are all just 'mental manifestations'...how would I know this for sure, or be sure it wasnt so?
Could our brains actually create such a mental illusion?

No point worrying about it. Find a way to be joyful in your illusion.

Sorry to say,'' YOU ARE DEAD.''
Estás muerto
Sorry kid, no other way to break it to you, now live with it, I mean, be dead with it.
I do sincerely believe that all of us lived before this Earth was even created. But then for all pretenses and porpoises, I believe this is where the third of heaven fell, and a third of heaven will always fall and they will begin again until they enter into the Tabernacles of heaven. I believe I lived before and I fell here.

Hint... if you brain is capable of creating an illusion, most likely you are alive.
Einstein proved that time doesn't exist as far as I am concerned. The past, the present and the future all occupy the same space.
Perhaps as far as you're concerned Hannibal, but in reality Einstein demonstrated that time, which is a part of the space-time 'fabric,' is quite real and that it is relative. Time moves slower for a person in motion than for a person who is standing still. Time also moves faster at altitude because of the reduced effect of earth's gravity. And this is easily shown in experiments.
I had a pastor that proposed that we exist outside/apart of time and that we are already in heaven in sort of a parallel existence that is eternal. Perhaps time is a human concept and maybe we exist in more than one form at any given time.

Yeah I can't never figure it out although I have literally watched a ton of shows explaining it, and I come to the same conclusion. I don't much believe in time, or that I even have free will, just my opinion and it is as good as anyone else's because there are nothing but opinions.....It would certainly be laughable if someone were to say that the earth is 6000 years old, or even that a literal flood came, and I have opinions there also. People used to think that the Earth was the center of the universe and it seems so silly now, or even to think that this is the only Earth with people. That would be impossible, I am sure there are billions of earths out there, and I know there is a bible coming to each one. Hell, it's already happened.
