For more information about existentialism see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism


Existentialism is based on the idea that you only have one life to live. There is no after life or future lives nor any lives before this one, that you will experience ever. Life can seem pointless, meaningless, and cruel. The ideas presented in awaretheory change all of this. First there can be past lives, present lives, and future lives, that you will experience. What you do in each life can influence the lives that will happen in the future. This gives meaning and purpose to every life. You are not stuck experiencing only one terrible conscious existence or life. There is a very large continuum of potential physapaths that when any one is produced will produce an awarepath that you will experience. What you do in this life can make the different versions of your lives better or worse. It can also make the different versions of your loved ones present and and future lives better or worse as well.


There are many different physapaths that produce awarepaths that will not be aware of the the ideas in awaretheory. Of this group there will be many that believe in the some version of the existential perspective on life.


If we traveled into the past or future in a time machine could your future or past self take a bath for you? Or would that not be you?


Remember when you are bemusing, And daily decisions confusing,That for life existential, The thing that’s essentialIs never the choice but the choosing.—Cyril Hughes
