Reality of Existence
Related: Universe
This is just a world of illusion.
People need to realize and acknowledge the fact that we exist in a realm, or dimension, that cannot be possible. We use our senses to interact with our surroundings, the environment, ourselves. But none of this can be real.
Declaring anything real is not valid, because nothing is real.
It cannot be proven that anything is real. By saying that something is real is due to our ability to observe it using one of our five senses: taste, touch, sound, smell, sight. How do we know that our senses are real? How do we know our thoughts are real? To declare reality is to state theory.
The truth comes not from finding out what is real, but finding out what all of this really is.
Some people believe so strongly in something, they believe it is real. What then, defines real. What makes the world we interact with real? Maybe, because of our connection of the senses with what they interact with, we believe in those interactions so much that we have no doubt that what we sense is real. See, that is a question that interjects many ideas. What says intelligence is real? What is it to say that something with infinite intelligence knows the reality of everything that is?
Having intelligence allows for the ability to collect and interpret information and come to conclusions about observations - to decipher from real and unreal.
One who so strongly believes in the bible comes to the conclusion that certain things said within the bible hold true, and are real. Things are believed so strongly that they are deemed real. One believes the day of reckoning will come and all unfaithful will go to hell. It is believed by that one that it will happen and that it is reality, real. This and other conclusions derived from what. Derived from analysis of sources, putting things together in that specific way because of the chemical composition originating from that mind and of the previous experiences of that one's life. Is that not how anything is said real, by putting together observations of one's surroundings. What is the difference between real and unreal? Is there even such thing as real given the world we exist in? What makes any of this real, when there are such infinities that apply to our world, that deem this existence unreal? That God oversees this system and has the ability to create any such circumstances deemed fit. If His aim was for man to believe that man's surroundings were real, when they really aren't, for whatever reason, then that is what God has done.
What is it to say that religion is not any more or less real than the things one experiences with one's senses? What is it to say that the belief in a religion is any more or less strong than the belief that a light bulb gives off light? What does it take for one to ultimately believe something is what it is, and nothing else? What does it take for one to decipher between actualities of a given circumstance? One's beliefs can be such the opposite of another's, yet because of the diversity of their backgrounds and experiences, and possibly of their genetic makeup, what they believe in is believed to be fact, and holds true in their minds.
Reality is not
Like the matrix but instead of awakening to reality, there is no reality
You awaken to everything and nothing
There are no people, places, or things
What happens when there are no more people?
====================================================
Concept Showing That Reality Could be not what we perceive it to be
In reality, the angular velocity of the circle is constant. Therefore the particle moves with constant velocity. But when the circle is rotated on its edge, the motion of the particle appears as though it accelerates and decelerates, causing an illusion, in a sense.
The circle on its edge might represent the world we live in, where we think we perceive things in a certain way that we think is reality. But there might be other dimensions that we are not even aware of, and that might completely change the way we see reality.
Goes Along With Above Concept
Senses beyond our ability
What if humans could only see in shades of gray, or if humans did not have the ability to hear? There would still be color, there would still be sound. Other organisms could hear sound. Because we are limited to what we can sense, does that mean that there is no other phenomenon that exists that could be sensed?
What if this universe had no life? It would still exist but to whom would it exist? It would exist but there would be nothing to acknowledge its existence.
Our senses allow us to realize its existence.
What if there are other sorts of things which exist, but we do not have the senses to allow us to realize them.
If an object is stationary in space and you revolve a camera around it in a circle, you wouldn't know if you were going around it or if it was spinning
Looking at Existence
Nothing is, and everything is not. We do not exist; there is no such thing as time. It all seems so real; things are tangible to us. We can experience things. We live our lives under a general state of mind. How do people exist in this world, without ever realizing the truth, or never living their lives to do something about it? How do people not see that there is no beginning, there can be no infinities, there can be no beginning because there has to be a preceding event to every other event. It does not matter either way anyway, if there was a beginning to time or never was, for something to spontaneously exist or to have existed for infinity, there is no such thing as space, or a vacuum nothing exists, nothing is, everything seems so real to us because we can experience it, and we are tricked. People think about natural desires that their body has bestowed upon them. They think about love, relationships, providing for themselves and others, they think about work and when they are not thinking about work they want to think about things that do not put strain on their minds.
====================
Reality of existence deep
Read this real slow and really think about it as it goes on.
How do you put into words when you see none of this can be real for a few brief seconds before you shiver and freak out?
All you have to think about is how time extends for infinity
How can matter spontaneously exist?
How can matter exist in time?
Matter either comes from somewhere or it spontaneously exists.
If matter came from somewhere, then the previous postulation would apply to that location, and so on, for infinity.
Therefore, ultimately, matter spontaneously appeared
With matter, there is space, quantified by distance
Without matter, is there still space?
If absolute zero matter existed, would there be space?
Is God Energy?
Is it a sin to question what God is?
Was matter created by pure energy, which is God?
Is God Everything?
Do all the stars exist for the sole purpose of putting up a front for the humans on Earth, only to convince a reality of existence for humans located on one blue rock?
Does God know all?
Does God have nothing else to learn?
Is God satisfied with all that is and is not and all that is known by Him and all that is not known by us?
Is God trying to figure how we are in a realm?
Humans are apart from God and perhaps other worlds or dimensions or realms or entities, yet we are interconnected through some sort of spiritual or ethereal medium.
God is with us, we are with God, and we are of God. As such, we are interconnected.
If God knows all, then He knows where He came from. He knows how everything came to be.
Think about our existence, the existence of the human race, on the blue planet Earth. Think about the space that surrounds us, the Earth, outside, the stars, which extend as far as we can see.
Think of how this can exist. Think of time, how it exists for infinity. Think of how time is defined by reactions between matter. Movement. Flow through time like a medium.
For something to exist at one state, then at another state, there must be time.
If you really think about how we exist, it should shake you.
Existence Is Not
You know what is funny is that there are people out there committing crimes. There are people who go to scary movies. Watch people kill other people like it’s scary. People cry. People laugh. People have sex. People feel like they have to fit in with the in crowds. People feel like the have to conform to the standards of society. They feel like they have to fit in and in order to do so means doing what everybody else does. People get married. People have children. People get divorced. People get sad, get emotional, feel insecure about themselves, and feel unsure of themselves. People go on living, day to day, in their own little bubble of a world. The same people they have known. The same environment. People go to work, work their whole lives. People go out and party.
Animals do not have the capability to analyze their surroundings, world, and existence like humans do.
How many humans stop to realize that existence is not real? Nothing is real. Humans go on living day to day in their own little bubble, never looking outside of it. How many people realize that this can not be possible? We can not exist. Can time extend for infinity? Can something come before something else for infinity? Can something spontaneously come to be? No. We do not exist and nothing is real. So look outside of your trivial and petty bubble and realize that we exist and do not exist at the same time. Except, there is no such thing as time. Time does not exist, and neither do we. To develop the petty trivial thoughts humans do and to conduct the petty trivial actions humans do, has no relevance with respect to the universe. We are single little individual entities. If one is satisfied with living a life for the purpose of self-enjoyment, then so be it – even if that life has no substantial impact on the full flow of the universe.
What is the significance of existence, mankind, the universe?
People, stop thinking about your own little bubble. Stop contemplating about all of your worries, concerns, and troubles. Try and see the big picture. Try and realize everything that is going on out there. Your life is but one of billions, and we all exist on this little speck in the universe. We set goals for ourselves and that is what gets us through life, is trying to achieve those goals. We think that if we keep achieving our goals it will make us a little happier, but we never are, because that happiness is displaced by the stress faced in overcoming the next hurdle. The only way to find true peace is within. Look inside to find true peace, look outside to realize the big picture.
Try to stop thinking about your own little bubble. Stop contemplating about all of your worries, concerns, and troubles. Try and see the big picture. Try and realize everything that is going on out there. Your life is one of billions, and we all exist on this little speck in the universe. Instead of dwelling on your past, and all the things you wish you had done differently, and the problems you currently face, think about how you can make a positive and significant difference in this world.
To what degree of accuracy can one’s life be predicted, such that it can be said that one has a destiny, or fate?
