Proving You Exist is important.
Do I exist? Do you exist? Despite being visibly three dimensional, it’s easy to feel like you don’t exist sometimes. It’s hard to perceive yourself as perceivable.
It’s something you have to believe independently. Nobody can convince you that you exist. You have to find it.
“Do I Exist” is a difficult question to ask anyone else, because everyone else only exists as much as you can believe in yourself. If you don’t exist, then they don’t either, and the opinion of non-existent people isn’t at all convincing.
Conversely, if other people seem to exist more than you, then it can be hard to believe that they can even perceive you.
So you end up mirroring them to be seen.
Until you find a way to independently prove that you exist, nobody’s opinion has any bearing. Everything you are could be the reflection of an illusion.
We learn how much we exist to the world from our parents. If you were raised by people who didn’t pay much attention to you, it can be hard to use others as a reflective surface to see yourself in.
It’s hard to perceive yourself as perceivable.
Stuck in that mindset, it can be hard to supercede feelings of non-existence, no matter how much evidence there is.
We like hanging around people who embody a strong self perception.
Their conscious process of existential solidity reflectively makes us believe in our own access to reality.
We often physically project our internal feelings of nonexistence.
When you visibly don’t believe you exist, people around you reflectively feel like they don’t exist either. It’s the gift that keeps on taking.
Often in life, we wait around, hoping some person or event will help externally Prove that we exist. Creating some tangible evidence of our being.
But if you need someone or somethingelse to prove that you Are, it removes your capacity to choose to independently believe in your existence.
If you depend on other people to prove you exist then you’ll stop existing when they’re not there, you’ll stop existing when they’re not there. You have to learn how to exist when alone, otherwise your existence will fluctuate depending on the quantity or quality of company you keep.
Needing someone else to prove that you exist is living your life from the outside in. Choosing to perceive that you exist, without external evidence, is living from the inside out.
We need to develop processes of conscious, independent self perception that don’t require any external proof.
The only thing keeping you from existing is constantly having to ask the question.
You have to redirect that energy into existing.
We have to find the answer inside ourselves.
You have to become self referential when it comes to existence. You have to be able to control the quality of your self perception.
Without a vital internal self perception process, your existence level will change with every new circumstance. You’ve got to bring a solid existential perception with you into every situation. Not wait for it to be defined after the fact.
Life is BYOE (Bring Your Own Existence).
It’s important to know how much you’re merely reflecting the environment, and how much you’re a source of your self perception.
Some people actively understand their power of self perception early on, while others wait forever to be “allowed” to exist. Waiting for the answer to arrive in the mail.
If your existence is only a reflection of other people’s attention, then you won’t really exist. You only exist if you don’t need to ask someone else’s permission.
The stronger you externally project a positive internal self perception, the more you exist. The more other people will reflectively believe in themselves around you.
Thinking too much about how much you don’t exist is the source of your disbelief.
Asking the question itself over and over, is a sign of your perceptional dilemma.
Instead of looking for an answer outside, use the question’s appearance as a divining rod. As a beginning point to stop the practice of disbelief.
Depression often happens when you can’t bridge the gap between doubt and self perception.Theoretical disbeliefs slowly grow into barriers between us and reality.
Use bouts of self doubt as a trigger to get out of your head and be actively dimensional.
Replace thoughts of existential disbelief with cleaning, stretching, organizing, interpretive dancing… anything to practice physically being.
Imprinting your internal choice to exist upon the physical world.
Action is a potent medicine to cure unconscious feelings of non-existence.
You only need a little bit regularly, but if you’re willing, your existence will be less in question.
Eventually, you’ll become your own evidence. Your own proof of being.
Your existence will no longer be in question.
