Zexion's Memorandum

Segment I: Questioning Existence

Do you ever question your reality?

I do not mean your personal reality, but simply the reality of the role you play in this existence. Waking up. Eating breakfast. Enjoying day-to-day activities. Having midnight snacks. Reading a good book. Talking to friends. Can you be guaranteed that these splendors are real?

The mind is incredibly powerful. The chemicals inside it that cause emotions sometimes…tickle the mind. When one emotion is experienced and the mind deems it a good feeling, it will sometimes control the body to do whatever it takes to achieve said emotion. Soon the mind strives off the emotion, and then we have a being under the ever-moving ride of self-gratification. Chronic masturbators are born.

If you enjoy the activities I've mentioned above, you enjoy them because of the emotions the activities spawn inside your mind. The mind acknowledges these emotions, and begins to strive off of them. Now you want to talk to your friends, read good books, have midnight snacks, all the time. You may not be aware of it, but you do, truly.

Now that that point has been made, we need to discuss the mind's remarkable capability of creation. The mind, which resides in a pink ball of flesh inside your head yet runs your entire body, can envision. Create worlds. The extremely dehydrated have been known to experience incredibly detailed hallucinations (this will be seen later, in my "Athirst Analysis" experiment), as do the clinically insane. Normally, these hallucinations are used as an escape for the deluded, who cannot stand the situation he or she is in whilst in reality. They can go from something simplistic, like an imaginary companion, to something incredibly complex, such as a fantastic world to take refuge in.

Who's to say that you're not the latter?

Of course, it is illogical to assume such things, or to takes such huge leaps in logic. There is absolutely no evidence that your life, as you know it, is a hallucination. There are, however, proofs against the very idea. I've mustered up a few arguments while off-duty from the Organization. I've titled these the Laws of Illusionary Science

A. If your existence is a hallucination, you would be possible to control said hallucination or distort the "false reality" in any way. You cannot control reality, so it is impossible for your existence to be a hallucination.

B. If your existence is a hallucination, you would not be able to receive new ideas or concepts. Even the deluded know everything about their hallucinations, and if it is impossible for you to know everything, then it is impossible for your existence to be a hallucination.

C. If your existence is a hallucination, you would not be limited in any way. You are limited in a number of ways, as seen by hunger, thirst, fatigue, burn, and freeze, therefore it is impossible for your existence to be a hallucination.

But does that mean the concept of being in a hallucination should not be brought up to ponder? No, it does not. If you refuse to think about it, you're close-minded, and if you think it to be true but refuse to take the Laws under consideration, you're close-minded. Close-minded is a sign of an unhealthy mind, so not questioning it all, even if you fear it, is a sign of an unhealthy mind.

A healthy mind should be strived for on a daily basis, yet I'm the only one that seems to know this.
