| Igneous Magma Location: London baby, yeah! Posts: 198 | When you say reality, do you mean a simulated reality? A man has two reasons for doing anything --- a good reason and the real reason. Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

| Alive  Location: Sandusky, Ohio Posts: 100 | An illusion means that it is a faked reality, an illusion is somnething like reality but it is not, because of some unreal chracteristic. It's laughable that you propose that reality is an illusion because that's the equivalent to saying "What if death is when you live, and you're actually dead now?" Pick up a dictionary and read it before you speak. Idiocy is so unattractive. If it works, and it's stupid, it's not stupid. |

| Sedimentary Rock Posts: 24 | Reality is what it appears to be. But what it appears to be and what it is may not be the same thing. But the appearance of reality is an important step to understanding what it is. If it is what is, then it is. If reality is an illusion then we share an illusion because it is the commonality of experience and love that we know we share that changes our view of reality. Much more so than how reality shapes us, we change it. As we change it, we see that its changed and we can be satisified that it is outside of our being. That established, we notice there are other beings and they have force and reality changes when we realise it. Reality is a little more than what is, it has our experience of it mixed into it, a fusion or mix of the effects of others, but the effects of the self taking a greater role in the appearance of reality insofar as individuality is concerned. |

| Molten Ash Location: Portland, Oregon Posts: 56 | Everything that IS is real. Regardless of its construct. It doesn't matter if it is a "hallucination" or not, if it is a "hallucination" it's a real hallucination. Who is to say that hallucinations aren't real? For all we know, the stories we make up are actually made "real" in another "reality." But yeah, seeing as we gotta live in it, we probably should assume it's the only reality we got. Maybe later we will get a new/better/different one. |

| Sedimentary Rock Posts: 23 | Anything that IS is real? How does that come to be true? Everything is seen different in anothers eyes. Some see it blue, others only black and white, some see it, some smell it. Some taste sweet, some salty.. what is real? The object? A fact is that all objects are different every millisecond after it is formed. Molecules change and that object either grows or breaks down. But you all know that. Reality is perfect is not being perfect, because perfect as it is written can't fit anything, it is a false label to anything it is given, as I mentioned.. if you say it is perfect right now, it has already changed so before you finished the word, it could no longer be perfect, it might be the closest thing to perfect, but we could never truly know what perfect is. Now wasn't that perfectly said? |
