Reality that matters to us is how we perceive it, through our eyes. Thanks!

However, there are two sides to reality: the things how they are and the things how they seem to us. We cannot realize how things are independent of us, but what you allege is true nonetheless: We, as men, must be aware that what we realize depends on who we are. that is why we should always question our first impressions in concerns of reality in order to escape false judgment and dogmatism. homo faber by Max Frisch is another interesting book concerning reality and falsified reality.

Do you have another one? My one is rafael.balbinotte@gmail.com By: SheepKing http://alittleweird.com/2008/05/22/partitioning-reality/#comment-1313 SheepKing Thu, 29 May 2008 23:02:03 +0000 http://alittleweird.com/2008/05/22/partitioning-reality/#comment-1313 Fruo: It would appear that you are applying what appears to be your logic of argument to what has been posted by Sean. (Duh?) Let me explain further. Every counter argument that you have provided has been modeled after how you perceive what is NOT being said, and it's kind of weird to me. For example: Reality doesn’t care about whether YOU think an experience is natural or supernatural. ^^ You’re saying that you shouldn’t have any opinions because they are STUPID and NON MATERIAL. Saying that no one gives a damn for your thoughts and that even if those thoughts are everyone’s they still don’t matter. When did he mention Stupidity, Non-Materiality, or other people? It would appear to me that he is stating that whether or not you categorize a given thing, that is not necessarily what it is. Example 2: So get over it, and start seeing the beautiful in the ugly, the love in the fear, and the supernatural in the natural. ^^ Here you’re crossing the boundary way too often. Yes, I agree that people should see the good and bad sides of everything, but saying that opposites are the same is just connecting the green wire to the red wire. Never was it stated that ugly IS beautiful, or love IS fear, or the supernatural IS natural. By virtue of your argument this is what you are implying was originally said. Rather, what was said to see the beauty IN ugly, love IN fear, supernatural IN natural. Do you understand what I am trying to say? I think one of the lynch-pins of the argument that I believe Sean was trying to portray was expressed best in this statement: "Only use dualistic thinking in order to serve yourself. Never enforce your arbitrary divisions on reality itself." It is about adaptability and fluidity of mindset; Understanding that what you may believe is something, could possibly really be something else. Knowing when to see a tree as a tree, or a tree as the fruit the tree bares. I hope that I have helped to show you another point of view what has been said; Rather than that I appeared in opposition to you.

To see my rant on the previous post, just go to that page. To see my rant on this one, look below: Reality doesn’t care about whether YOU think an experience is natural or supernatural. ^^ You're saying that you shouldn't have any opinions because they are STUPID and NON MATERIAL. Saying that no one gives a damn for your thoughts and that even if those thoughts are everyone's they still don't matter. So get over it, and start seeing the beautiful in the ugly, the love in the fear, and the supernatural in the natural. ^^ Here you're crossing the boundary way too often. Yes, I agree that people should see the good and bad sides of everything, but saying that opposites are the same is just connecting the green wire to the red wire. You're saying we shouldn't create concepts out of reality but just let it go through us, without any processing, feeling, emotion, thought, or opinion. We shouldn't give any labels to anything. Reality for different people is different. Everyone builds their perception of the world based on their experiences from their experiences and opinions. Since opinions are based a lot on point-of-view, then everyone has a different sense of the world around them. Reality is different for all of us. The reality I'm talking about right now is reality as we envision it. True, reality for real is only one. Facts are facts. But our own realities aren't just facts. They go beyond. Personal realities are our souls, who we are. We live the worlds in our heads (here by live I mean experience). Not only, however, Rejecting the facts is plain out stupid, but rejecting the world inside our heads is dangerous. Putting labels on reality helps us find our way. What you're saying is what people hundreds of years ago thought, but for a different reason: "No, the Earth is the center of everything. Do not mess with what is. Comply or things will become worse." I'm waiting for your next post.

If reality really is one, I should handle it in the future when I'll be ready! Good Post!

Reality really shouldn't be what we see it as, but what it is, for real =) Makes you think about how we can't change the past, and that we won't live forever. Really brings you down to earth. Back to reality. Too bad reality sucks. Mabey thats why people waste their days playing hours of video games: to escape from reality...
