The Traveler said:
I remember having long philosophical talks with friends of mine with me explaining different kinds of reality, three main probabilities:
1. Objective reality: things are just the way they are because they are. Reality IS.
2. Subjective reality: "I think, therefor you are" All is created in one persons (your) mind.
3. Cumulative subjective reality. What all entities think together makes reality. Some minds may have more impact as others but it's the collective mind that makes our universe.
My current belief, of course, would have to be a combination of #1, #2, !
#1- Reality is what it is, it's a set things with certain fixed properties, it's "real.," is a seperate thing existing apart from perception, can be consentually classified by observation, scientifically tested etc...
#2- There is "more to the story," reality is more complicated; the universe is larger, "deeper" than we can imagine and perceive. But our minds can perceive more reality than is ordinarily percieved (everyone here that's followed this forum knows this...) our position in reality is more "flexible" than is normally understood,... ie: travel elsewhere in your mind, ie:reality exploration not reality creation, ie: consciousness expansion, astral travel... or advanced technologies of the future (artificial
?traversible? singularities).
#3- beings, advanced beings, type 4 civilizations,
GOD creates reality with thoughts. Or like in the Bible, God's spoken word.
The ultimate goal is to become like the traveler and be able to spontaniously phase in and out of different times, places, and dimensions...
