Reality is 50% concrete and 50% perception.



How so? Individually, we only interact with reality through our perceptions. Where's the concrete?

I'd say most would describe the concrete as consensus reality, but how concrete is consensus reality itself? In a dream where you're conversing with others, is there a consensus reality, aren't those others merely projections of your own mind? Is there a possibility that waking life, and the consensus reality that occurs in it could be as illusory as a dream reality?

Quote:

We each live in our own, and they are always growing and changing.



I agree. We ourselves are constantly growing and changing, are we the same "we" we were 10 years ago? At one point for many of us, Santa Claus was reality. In a room full of our peers, and minds full of imagination, consensus reality could verify the fact, in our minds, that Santa existed.

Quote:


What most people consider reality is just expectations, and they can be shattered quite easily.




Expectations are built upon past experiences and premises. Psychosis, psychedelics and other phenomena can seemingly trigger experiences that shatter our expectations based on defying the past experiences and premises we used to construct what we believe to be reality.

I see the physical reality we interact with from the neuroscience perspective as an interface. There's stimuli out in the world, wavelengths and such that our receptors receive and send to the brain, which filters a lot out, adds some stuff, and presents "us" with a usable construct/interface tailored for survival. the whole "a chair isn't actually a chair" idea. Here's a good explanation.

Even so, theory today does little to describe "base" reality, or the source of our interface. Even full understanding of base reality may not even lead to any answers, and it's entirely possible we lack the sensory receptors or cognition capacity to grasp any aspect of it.

Concrete reality is there even if no ones there to perceive it. What it is? Its limits? Can't be known, because they go unconceived. In a weird way concrete reality is the least solid thing of all.

Neither.


I am not fighting, or either struggling with reality. I am also not accepting it.


I am tolerant of it, I accept it's existence, and still I am surprised at some points the level of existence that thrashes it's face against me.

That's why I'm asking JSB what is reality.



It is what it is to you. It's your whole self, every part that you've discovered, and the whole world, every part that you've discovered.

Only a fool would assume he 'knows' what is there, waiting, laying, undiscovered.

Nonetheless, in each of our current states and individual perceptions of existence, it is still a reasonable question to ask:

'Have you accepted it?'

Think more of the question as pertaining to your entire [human] experience, thus far. Every facet of everything you know about you, and the people in your life, and the world that surrounds them, and the universe that surrounds that; all of the things of which you are both aware and unaware.

Have you fully accepted it?


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

reality is over rated. I've been in several and they are all monumentally boring. all that is going on with causality is repetitively tragic and equally as awe inspired to be boring.

there's a reason why you die. excitement. unknowing the uncertainty and thinking you might be able to grasp the truth as it dangles off a stick in front of your eyes. the emotion and the yet to come, outweigh the have been, and eternal life.

reality is that coin toss, i should have never tried to spin it.

Fully accepting everything is really hard. But getting there, more and more everyday.
I try my best not to fight it or force things.
Trust in the process if you get what I mean.
So much more easy to not be a control freak.

If this was what you mean?

How about you?

My friend jokes about the idea of "what if when u die, u take off the VR headset" :lol: Thought that was pretty funny.

The real question is, who made the Simulation and Why?

Spoiler alert: The Creator (hyper-being) made it to give a place for free will and material existence.

During the trip part of my Tiletamine debacle, I made a trip to the nearby future and back again for a health update.

Inadvertently I had caught a bug: an airborne nanobot from a small group of petty criminals which nestled itself against my eardrum and began blackmailing me, for money. After a whole bunch of that I told it I was back in 2019 so there was no way to hand over any money I didnt have anyway and that it should definitelty synchronize its clock to check the year.

It broke and I got over an hour of repeated error message.  :waitingpatiently:


The future is gonna be grand :gameover:

Reality is great and it blows, it’s pretty good at having a range for everything so I’m probably like most things where I’d take some, get rid of some etc.

What’s really wearing on me over time is that, even though life is great I wish we could just get on with the fucking thing.  I’m sort of past everything just about, I don’t enjoy what people have forced this process to become either so that’s an added drag as well.

There’s times when I look around and think free will is a fuckin myth..

Either post-Singularity technology or Dusted schizophrenia, take your pick :lol:

The year was 2030 by the way.


I get lots and lots of futuristic content in my meditation & dissociation sessions.

Also other Mind = Blown content.


Like..

When I die I'm not going to reincarnate as a human. I'm going to level up to regional spirit of my region, but in earnest I am already that regional spirit and receiving guidance thereof since childhood, when my human form recedes, the greater being (that is me!) remains to watch over my part of town.

IT CONSISTS OF THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ITS INHABITANTS OF ANY SPECIES  :alphabrain:



I been having Trips Logical_Chaos - I just couldnt make reports of them anymore, they defied afforts to write them down.
