Below is a short educational video about perception.
Since so many facts get updated these days, I one day found myself wondering… What is “reality”? Is matter all that is real?
That might seem like a silly question given how we use our senses to interact with ‘reality’ everyday, but I have since arrived at ideas which I am comfortable with regarding these questions (although Im still curious). So heres some questions to play with – play nicely
If I had to point to where my idea or concept of reality is maintained, Id be pointing to my head – how about you?
Is all this environmental information just vibrational energies which are presented to our body and then decoded to form a perception in the brain according to our programs and patterns? ie: Do we subconsciously ‘read’ or filter this data then build an experience that seems real?
Can I get outside of my experience to prove anything is fact or real, or is reality bound to ones experience like the fabric to the shirt?
What of the realities I have when I dream, – my body still responds as if they are real, so what is reality?
If I am not the cause (creator) of my experience; the director of my focus of attention on some level whether awake or asleep, am I controlled by something else?
And if I am completely controlled by something other than me, what then is the purpose of my life?I wish you all – many pleasant realities.
Pete.
