What if the meaning of life is masturbation?
Let me explain. Many people who do high doses of psychedelic drugs all report having a common experience. They experience a loss of ego, and become a part of a universal consciousness encompassing everything, everywhere, all at once. Many report that when in this stage, they (we) realized we were alone in existence, so we created the universe and split our consciousness into separate beings so we could experience what it was like to feel novelty and not feel alone.
What does this remind you of? When we masturbate, we are often feeling alone, and fantasizing about not being alone and engaging in hedonistic self pleasure (which is exactly what our existence would be for a universal consciousness).
What I’m trying to say is that in a way, our lives may be the result of the universe masturbating.
