Anno is dumb.

Most people, even normals, are unhappy with their life. Since Anno was a virgin freak in his youth and was unhappy, he concluded it was probably because he was a virgin freak and not something else, thus he doesn'T even know what this "greater happiness" is, because he never had it. Basically, he thinks the grass is greener on the normal side.

"White" is tanasinn.
"Black" is tanasinn.
You perceive colour that is Not.
What is colour? It is rumbings of dimensions inside strings of time.
That which you see is darkness.
Light is fiction.
Quantum mechanics have already arrived.
The cat is no longer alive nor dead.
Through vibrations of tanasinn all is already One.
Gravity is become affectation of warping of Time by Light.
Through Light, Light is White.
Faster Than White travel is not possible without nor within tanasinn.

Don't think, feel
 ―and you will be tanasinn

Happiness is inside the mind. Most people choose to find their happiness by grasping the outside world and trying to bend it to their will. For example, chasing after wealth, gluttony, or material possessions.

The origin of all this happiness is the brain though. Normal people realize this of course, but they think that the only way to acquire that happiness is to trigger it by acquiring valuable objects, having sex, or doing anything that interacts with the world outside of your mind.

I propose that the best way though is to completely ignore the real world as much as possible and dive into your mind. Lucid dreaming, meditation, self-induced hallucinations, etc. Everything you could ever want to do can be experienced inside your mind, so why bother with what we perceive as reality? What's the point? It's inferior in every way.

If you can have a vivid lucid dream where you are exploring a forest and it is so real that you feel all of the sensations that this experience brings with it then why would you ever bother to explore a real forest? This applies to everything. Why bother with the real world? It's simply inferior.

Mountain. Heavy are the mountains, Something that changes through the ages. Sky. Blue sky. Something visible, something invisible. Sun. Something unique. Water. Something agreeable. Commander Ikari. Flowers. Many of them alike, many of them useless. Sky. Red, red sky. Red color. Red color that I hate. Water flow. Blood. The smell of blood. A woman that does not bleed. Made from the red soil are humans. Made by Man and Woman are humans. Town. Something that humans made. Eva. Something that humans made. Humans are what? Something that God made. Humans are things which humans made. The things I possess are my life and mind. The vessel of a mind. Entry plug, the throne of a soul. Who is this? This is me. Who am I?...

What differences have you experienced?

It feels the same to me and I've been lucid dreaming for years. I don't explore forests, but my carpet feels like my carpet, tables feel like tables, I can feel the wind against my face, and as far as I can tell everything is identical to how it feels in the real world.

When you're lucid dreaming your mind will either just base the sensations off what you have experienced already in reality or if it has no memory to base it on then it makes it up on the fly and then it's typically an idealized version of what you imagine it would feel like.

Take sex for example. I've never had sex, I have no idea what a vagina feels like. I do have an onahole though, which I would imagine is superior to a vagina because it's designed to be superior to a vagina in the same way that penises don't vibrate or do other strange functions but vibrators do. When I have sex in a lucid dream though, I experience something similar to the onahole sensation, but with the added sensations of touching a body.

If I was to have sex in reality then it would almost definitely be inferior, simply because vaginas are not specially designed sex toys and can't compare to something that was made for the sole purpose of being better than a vagina.

Everyone lives in their own little bubble. The bubble is usually filled with information of stuff of outside the bubble/bubbles of other people. The bubble, your reality,is made up of information in actual reality. Normally.

However, if your bubble is made up of information your brain produces, and the information your brain puts into your bubble gets the job done and fills it, the content of that bubble will not "feel" much different than a bubble made up of information of the outside, because in the end, information is just information.

I had a dream that I was walking through a huge forest once and I could see animals roaming around, the air smelled wonderful, and there was this beautiful waterfall that seemed to be as big as a mountain. I recall just sitting there and taking it all in. It felt like I was the only person in the entire world and I was resting in some kind of utopia.

I visited a real forest later on. There were bugs every where, my entire body itched, the only animals I saw were squirming around on the ground or biting me, and the closest thing to a waterfall was some shitty little lake and that was surrounded by a bunch of normalfags that were fishing and drinking beer.

Reality sucks.

Why though?

The truth of the matter is that reality is very limited. Can you travel the stars or explore fantasy worlds? Nope, you can't do anything like that. You're stuck on earth and there's no going any where else. The only redeeming quality of earth is that it's beautiful, but the entire planet is crawling with insufferable assholes and filled with dangerous things that could kill you or just make your trip into the forest a very annoying and irritating experience.

Dreams are where true adventure and happiness can be attained. Reality is just a poor substitute. Everything in reality is harder, more disappointing, and generally shittier than it would be in an idealized lucid dream.

So you say 4 words, which contains no more meaning than "you're an idiot for not believing what I believe." One of which you somehow managed to misspell, not to mention the fact that you never capitalized the first letter or added any punctuation. Not only that, but you're saying such a thing at /jp/ of all places.

And you expect to be taken seriously? Even though you're giving us the impression that you're about 9 years old?

I used to be depressed as fuck and watching Eva over and over again.

Then I got older and finally fucked a woman. It didn't help. I fucked a few more, and that didn't help either. It didn't help at all. Almost got married, that blew up in my face; that wasn't the answer either.

Tried going to lots of parties and having friends and doing stuff, but at the end of the day, I was still depressed.

I'm nearly 30 now and I'm just finally now getting to be okay with everything. Had to get comfortable in my own skin and be happy with myself.

There is no "fix"; another person cannot pull you out, and you cannot make yourself happy trying to make other people happy. Unfortunately there is no magic cure for that feel.

Just gotta persevere.

Perhaps you're right. I think I sort of fucked it up though. After they told me they were a girl. Actually they just said "As far as the internet is concerned I'm a girl" so things got a little weird. I may have been too clingy and gave them the wrong idea due to me desperate and lonely. They were the one who stopped sending emails back and I felt pretty shitty.

I'm 32 and i'm happy with this. Actually each time i'm trying to argue or have a good conversation with a 3D woman, I usually ragequit because of their 3 most common pattern answers :
1. Yeah right you know everything ! Whatever !
2. Yeah whatever you say, men are dumbasses anyway !
3. Well you're single you don't know what life is 'cause I have a child and you don't. (so stfu!)
