some religions and there of...

i want to believe
but what to believe
what is true.
is truth in the mind of the beholder
is what i see my truth?
and what i see through my eyes, are different to you
red may be green
and green may be blue
it's like they say..
if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around..
does it make a sound?
so really, what we're asking?
does it exist if it can't be seen or heard?

perhaps you are, what i've built of you and think who you are.
a reflection of just what i need you to be.....

My friend and i were hiking the other day and we saw a huge tree that had fallen down. I wondered how loud it must of sounded. Which then posed the infamous question, if a tree falls in the woods with no one around, does it make a sound?
Following that our conversation led to a variety of things, relating to the idea of possibilities of what really exists and what we make true for ourselves. Maybe nothing exists at all until it's seen, felt or happens. Perhaps there is nothing, blackness around the corner, until you get there. Anyways, there were some good interesting aspects of ideas we came up with and there were also ridiculous jackass comments as well. It was a good conversation. Funnily enough, he, my friend, a day later had pretty much the same conversation with a friend of his that believes in a religion that follows a lot of these ideas.. well, without our jackass ideas of comments, and maybe a little more intense... But, yeah, apparently there is a religion called Choices and it's all about, you, me, this.. doesn't really exist, we are just an idea, a thought part of one whole. One whole giant "brain".. or something like that. My friend wasn't very good at explaining the religion. Anyways. strange.
