Anonymous Coward User ID: 2533633 United States 10/09/2011 01:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Question: if everything we see is the result of dragging past associations into our current situation, then what would we see if we were able to cut all past associations? What would we perceive if we were brand new, newly-born with no past whatsoever? |

You only exist when I "visit" this website. The only part of the world that really exists is that which I can currently see. When I log off in a few minutes, you will all disappear until I return, so answer quickly! |

Quoting: Breadsticks 1679653 yes, been there and still here. starting to come out. Well I (and most people to some degree) have been seeming close to the edge of sanity. But what I'm talking about is permanent ego disfunction. |

Supplanter User ID: 2935141 United States 10/09/2011 01:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My understanding of reality is quite simple. Res ipsa loquitur Latin for "the thing speaks for itself". It is far easier to rely on another's interpretation of life according to set accreditation. It is far more difficult we say to look into the mirror of our own understanding and experience life untethered by human understanding or dogma. Only then can we know the truth for the truth of right and right is instilled within us raw and unfettered. We have our place as do all creatures, we shall learn our place once again. |

Quoting: Chaol Are we talking to ourselves? Is it any different than sitting in a chair? (Because it's all perception anyway) Didn't we do this Chaol? What are we doing here? Are you creating additional room for possibility? Is this thread a symbol representing your next goal? I respect and look forward to what you have to say, I am confused by your implied intent.(from my perspective, of course and I question you, only with the utmost respect) Consider the possibility that you order yourself into being from chaos... You do this, always, in all ways. This "ordering" has resulted in the possibilities you're experiencing, here, now. In each experience you've ever had, more and more of "this" reality is generated logically from your previous experience. Your observation of this unfolding of order and chaos is reality. |

Prisoner of Technology User ID: 2364002 United States 10/09/2011 03:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's all a dream. When we die we will wake up and realize we were just the same person over and over and over again. No one has ever seen a perfect circle, nor a perfectly straight line, yet everyone knows what a circle and a straight line are. Perceived circles or lines are not exactly circular or straight, and true circles and lines could never be detected since by definition they are sets of infinitely small points. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2922966 United States 10/09/2011 03:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | while normal- reality just is on acid- reality is a cartoon of colors and nothing really connects to anything else it all just sort of vibrates against each other or rotates slowly. The concepts we think create reality and the brain connects those concepts to experiences we had before to create an understanding of the concepts. on mushrooms- everything is hyper real and if you look into the mirror you will see how you look to others and lose all the ego which obscures elements of yourself that others might see but you cannot see about yourself. on salvia- the world is a frightening jumble of madness that hits you like a sledgehammer and leaves you wondering who you are and what your doing here and whether anything is even real at all. On DXM- everything has happened before, all moments are the same moment and were a soul controlling a body like remote control. Floating outside and above and behind controlling it like a puppet. The universe is all blending together and time is an illusion, a repeating vibration. In meditation- reality the universal conciousness |

Thank you! Alright I'll take a stab at it... "Reality" could be defined as... all there is, was and will be. Our reality (current perspective) is a reflection of our choice. Each time a choice was available, we made one, like it or not, that led us to this moment. It doesn't matter if we came into being at this moment with a fabricated awareness of a past, we still behave at this moment as if it's true. Our reality holds no default meaning, all meaning is assigned by the one experiencing reality. This is why we have so many different view points on reality. You are the one that assigns the meaning to all that exists within your reality. What you believe is True, is true to you. If you doubt it, then obviously it's not true to you. Your reality follows the rules of your belief. Reality responds to your will.
