Is reality reality really real. Or What?

Question

Or What?

Answer 1

What we chose to believe becomes real for us. But there is only one reality.

Answer 2

Oh my - this question is deeeeeep indeed.

First of all, it depends on what you consider "reality" to be. If you are referring to your perception of reality, and what you truly to believe to be real, than yes - in some sense, it is real.

If you are talking about some collective definition of reality, again - in some sense, it is real. But, given the differences in people's perceptions, it is not entirely real.

Now, if you are talking about ultimate, physical reality, then my answer would be "no" - reality is not real. Nothing really is as we perceive it. Everything has to be filtered first through our senses, and then through our minds. And, of course, the filtering in the mind can be infintely different from situation to situation based on our beliefs, fears, etc.

So, in the end, we are left with no way to truly experience physical reality. I do believe however, that through prayer and meditation we can gain glimpses of ultimate reality.

Good question! : )

Answer 3

What reality? If you only give us those two choices, I am going to have to go with Or What as my answer. What we think we sense as reality, which is only through our five senses, is not exactly what it seems.

If you are really interested in an answer to your question, you should check out this awesome video. It explains what we think is real to us and what reality reality is real as you say!  

Hope this helps in finding what you are looking for. Best wishes.

P.S. If you have seen the movie Matrix for example, it makes this question almost impossible to answer because you first have to define what reality is...the one we percieve as reality or the one that we are yet to perceive that really is reality and yet we don't know it as such. Anyway, I just wanted to add that to my answer and again....until we discover and can PROVE for ourselves what actual reality is, we are only left with the very real possibility that we don't  have a clue. Been thinking more about your question and thought I would elaborate.. LOL..Thanks!

Answer 5

No, reality reality is a false reality.  Only Actual Reality™ is real.  (Assuming of course that this message hasn't been garbled by your local reality.)
