Have you ever thought so hard you get utterly confused? So hard you don't realize where you are or maybe even why. A question like 'How was the world created?' or maybe 'Does the sky ever end?" will definitely get you thinking.
In my history class, a test question concerning the Red Scare was given an option for an answer with "derived from the very real threat of Russian Bolshevism" What is 'very real' and who decides?
Well think about this sentence for a little while: Your perception is your reality.
Translated, it means whatever I see is what I think is real. But then does this mean that no one will ever know the true reality? I mean, sure, we can base reality on the majority of everyone's thoughts, but is that even real?
Something even as simple as a color. i think this is blue, then to me, it is blue. But is it really? Do I really even know what blue is? It may sound like an incredibly dumb example, but maybe it's too minimalistic.
Take mentally ill patients. Hallucinations to them are real, but not to everyone else. Does this make them real or not?
With this in mind, how can we ever find reality? Or is this a constant search that we can never reach?
Your perception is your reality.
Wow. This is really deep. I think it's awesome you can find this kind of meaning and not just take things at surface level value. It definately got me thinking.
It might look like but it isn’t meant as a reply on your comment, ;-)
One’s reality is defined by his awareness,
Some people that walk amongst us carry an awareness which allows them to create their own reality. In fact we can all do this but therefore one needs to learn and use his brain.
A person that lives or lingers in the moment is fully aware of his surroundings, when lingering in a state like that means you don’t think! Because you don’t have too.
Everything that happens while being in the moment is understood as you experience it!
Reality is what most people perceive is found within a grey zone, this grey zone is everything that is found between the moment and the awareness one caries within.
Our senses are our most credible and direct source of real, if we miss even one, we life a troubled life…lol
We carry many more….
The reason why topics like the one you brought up are so rare, is because most don’ like to venture around questions like this, because it somehow troubles their minds,,,,lol.
It’s like asking where’s the end of the universe, people don’t like to wonder in those areas to much, I live there,,, hahahaha
Anyway, the main reason is the fear it brings up while finding or experiencing a new reality, meaning, whenever someone has to change his perception of reality, it is more experienced like something uncomfortable, like a deception, how could I not have known about this!
This is mostly the very moment people start to gaze at the floor or a wall, like if they were in some sort of dream state, trying to figure!?
People don’t like this feeling, it’s makes them personally to feel stupid, it affects their I or better say their EGO, therefore people don’t feel comfortable while wondering into fields that they don’t control, because “real” reality can bring on to loose balance.
What we see when this happens to people, is the change in their emotional state, people can become whatever when their minds freeze up while experiencing a shift in balance.
“It may sound like an incredibly dumb example” never…
Not to question your surroundings and experiences is dumb, other than that people should be better of if they would shake of the fear, so they could create some awareness of who they really are… and maybe find their way to the mouse pad.
Our brain is the most amazing PC that is around, but we only use it to fill up the memory, we don’t even work properly with our brain! Most amongst us live with a dysfunctional brain, because it is tampered with!
To reboot your system once in a while is therefore a must to open up awareness!
This awareness brings one an understanding that many people will probably regard what I write to be nothing more than…… luni stuff, lol
But than again, why remain on the sideline to see what will be next, how boring is that?
Great blog, love it
Why even worry about "what's real"? Life is teeming over with an infinitude of perspectives to that you can potentially take. If the reality is that your own perception is reality, then spend your time experimenting with which way of perceiving things gives your experience most color, vibrancy, and joy.
Well, still we create our own reality, regardless of whatever perspective one might carry within.
To understand this or not, is of course another issue!
