What is “Real”?
What is “real”? Certainly not this world! This world is no more “real” than a movie. In fact, what we perceive as “real” is a movie: a really realistic one, with not just movement, color, and sound.
Our movie has true surround sound, a much broader field of vision, but also taste, smell, & feeling! So what is our perception of reality, actually? Is it not, in fact, a series of electromagnetic waves of differing wavelengths falling upon our five extraordinarily sensitive sensors (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin)? By means of our sensors are we not actually receiving only images of another reality somewhere else?
Unaided by tools such as telescopes and microscopes my senses tell me the sun circles the earth and that I stand on the earth, which is probably flat. My native senses do not allow for the possibility of a spherical earth where those beneath me are held there by something called gravity. Nor do they allow for any theory that suggests the sun and moon are not the same size or that they are not the same distance from the earth. In our modern age most of our belief systems are predicated on what “experts” tell us rather than from actual personal experience.
Scientists tell us that the world we perceive as solid is actually 99% empty, as is “outer” space. Why do we perceive solidity where there is only space? Our “feeling” sensors give us this perception and so that is what we believe. We are actually more like holograms than solid objects, but holograms fitted with five means of receiving information. These five senses used in an infinite number of combinations create a remarkable number of realities: one for each of us, no two exactly alike. Therefore, my movie is truly unique among all mankind who have ever lives – and so is yours. And they are still just images of reality, not reality itself
