Reality

WHAT IS REALITY?

To you and I, reality is what we've inherited from our parents, society, the environment and our senses.

We follow our realities. We fit in and don't question too much what alternative realities could be. Things like where we're brought up, the school we attend and friends we keep, will mould our realities. If you think it's impossible to switch from one reality to another, watch this documentary on bare knuckle fighting where violent realities have been created but where one guy called James, decided to choose a different life. You can read about James Lambert who made a conscious decision to be happy. I just bought his book: Be Happy in 24 Hours (available for only £3.44 on Kindle). We all have the power to change our realities. By understanding our surroundings and others, we learn that everything is just made up from our personal understanding of the world around us and we can educate ourselves to make better, more positive decisions.

Quantum Reality
I watched this BBC documentary: What is Reality (full version), and this programme has completely warped my perception of what reality is! In it, they talk about wacky scenarios, like for instance, how our existence may just be a reflection of a hologram projected from a black hole or our existence. This universe being just one of an infinite number of existences from parallel universes. Well if this has any solid foundation to it, anything is likely it seems. It certainly poses two ways of looking at it. Either the answer is too far out of comprehension that we cannot ever understand - or it's so absurd that we should laugh it off and just get back to trying as hard as possible to enjoy as much life as we possibly can. Whatever the case may be, quantum theory discussed in this doc indicates that we still have a lot to learn but ultimately, mathematical equations may one day have the answers.

So, if these scientists are throwing such out-there concepts of reality at us - what's to say that other cosmic realities don't exist? I watched a video of a man setting fire to paper by focussing Chi (or Qi) energy from his palm and pushing a chopstick through a thick wooden table yesterday (full doc available here 24:50) - so, it pays to keep an open mind to what reality is...
