How real are you if your thoughts are the action of a spinning electromagnetic wind. A gust will one day sweep your mind away.
I already experience thoughts as they come and go, If I am not real then I would not be experiencing any thoughts at all.

Is not thoughts a manifest of the mind? Is the mind a cluster of illusions? Are you not experiencing a illusion? How real can an illusion be?
I am real because I am able to experience. If I weren't real, then I would not be experiencing anything at all.

If that is your definition of real then it could be applied to a rock or a computer. How do we know they don't experience. Are you more real than a rock on the ground or my desktop computer?
You are pointing to physical forms (things). We know that the physical form changes and thoughts and emotions also change, but the awareness doesn't change. It is just being aware of what is there.

If that is the case you realise then you could be reincarnated as a rock. Better have fun in this life while you can enjoy pleasures of the flesh.
Suffering happens when we feel like there is something we are missing out on.

Your a suffering I can tell. You want no boundaries and yet your life is nothing but boundaries.
That is your opinion and you are free to have it. Currently, I don't feel any "suffering" though. I'm a peace.
You say your real...i challenge you that you are not real!
