Questioning Reality: Are we for "Real"?

This point was stated earlier, the man in the video game is real isn't he? the cartoon is'nt non-existant, however the question is what 'state' of reality that thing is in. Me u are all real, but we do not know what we mean by 'real', as there could be countless other reality states

"I'll heal ur woundz I'll set u free, I m jesus christ on xtacy"

We exist because we are a thought in God's mind. THIS IS THE ONE TRUE REALITY THAT WHICH EXISTS IN THE CREATORS MIND.

"Even with all its sham and drudgery your world can still be a beautiful one"

then what if there is another dimension of reality that exists which we created in our own minds

where we're their god

which is precisely what takes place everyday.... we create and destroy...if your thoughts are constantly of poor quality.. death, destruction, fear, greed, desire...then you are the devilish creator to the creatures in your mind.......... If your thoughts are one of purity, love...then your creatures are harmonious...therefore making your reality harmonious, therefore your thinking becomes the substance of the almighty..........

YOU LIVE IN A DREAM......what form of thinking logically states that air is the substance that water is made from... air, an invisible thing!!!!........what form of thinking logically states that a lion, mane, teeth, saliva....is made from dust!....you live in the reality of a thought!...of sound, color, and thought.... your life is unimaginably wonderful and innocent....yet complciations arise when you don't know who you are!!!

and if you don't believe me...then leave a glass of water out in the sun...it will return to its making.....leave a carcass of a beast out in the open it will return to its making.....leave a flame/light to run its course....and it will return to its own making....Darkness!!!!............only in a real dream could this happen.....only a real dream creature like you, could think it!!!

reality cannot be separated from the way people make sense of it....NOTHING exists until someone forms it's existence....

"Do what YOU want to do in life, not what everyone else does..."

^^I agree with you 2000%......Nothing is all that exists until something is created...(broad something...lol)

"Being is not knowing!"

reality only exists in the mind. But there must be other realities that we will never sense, which unfortunately is way beyond our brain.

"The summit is just a halfway point"

^^lol....all realities are right infront of your face...it's your thing when you want to experience it....

Here is the answer.

First, understanding the nature of Truth must be addressed.

Two types of Truth exist: Absolute truths and relative Truths. An example of an Absolute truth is "God exists." Absolute truths cannot be proven. You cannot know any Absolute Truth, with one exception.

Let me give you an extreme scenario:

You are a bodyless mind floating in empty space. The Earth and the Universe do not exist. All reality that we know does not exist. You are the only mind and the only presence in the Cosmos.

Your mind has created a dream for you, for your entertainment. You vividly dream that you are a human on an imaginary planet called Earth. When you touch something, you feel it. When you injure yourself, you feel pain. You believe that everything around you is real, but it isn't. If you spoke with me, you would believe that I am real, but I'm would be just part of your imagination. You are the only being in existence.

Can anyone PROVE that this above scenario is not the real Truth about the cosmos? What if this whole world is not real? What if our existence was portrayed truthfully in
the movie Matrix?

Many philosophers have stated similar perspectives. Descartes - could everything around you be an elaborate dream? Berkeley - everything that you perceive around you may be just perceptions in your mind.

The ONLY Absolute Truth that you know is that you exist. "Cognito ergo sum." You know this because you are aware of your consciousness. But you are unable to prove your existence to anyone else. You don't even know if others exist.

You can never know an Absolute truth with certainty. If you encountered it, you could not confirm it to be Absolutely True.

So I live by relative approximations of the Truth. "Would I estimate that house to be 120 or 130 feet from me?" It actually measures 124.5 feet. Or was it 124.48725 feet? Or is the distance variable because of quantum-mechanics principles moving the atoms in the house or by General Relativity space-time continuum changes from motion in the Universe or gravity from distant galaxies? Or will I awake from my dream and realize that the
house never existed?

If "nothing may be as it seems," where do we go from here?

All we have to work with is our perceived reality. Your ball is rolling in the pinball game of life. You'd better play the game or your ball will go in the hole. You must eat, seek shelter and interact with others to continue.

One must accept our existence on Earth as our functional reality. Presume it is real.

I believe that in the same way a dream feels real to the dreamer but is an illusion compared to conciousness, there is an ultimate reality much higher that our own. in Hindusism OM is regarded as a reference to the ULTIMATE REALITY and that our existence is but an illusion only real to us. The ultimate reality is a place where matter and things associated with this universe dont exist - instead theres perhaps pure energy.

Interesting!, perhaps reality is what we make it (what it means to us) rather than some ultimate truth! who knows, u might just wake up right now in some hibernation chamber after 53 years!, whos knows!

"Life is such sweet sorrow."

The reality lies in the tides of the ocean and the pull of the moon, knowing that all things will never happen once and that everything is on its own axis. whether or not there is only one dimension to this space should be the real question. Thats something that has really bothered me since my childhood.
