Exploring the Nature of Reality and Belief Systems
Written on
Chapter 1: The Essence of Reality
Absolute reality is often revered by science—its power as a construct rivaling that of any deity. The truth is, you do not exist within the world; rather, the world exists within you.
Section 1.1: Perception Shapes Experience
In our previous discussion, we examined how perception shapes reality. If someone believes in angels or extraterrestrial beings, their lived experience reflects a reality where those entities exist. Ultimately, a person's life consists of their experiences rather than the rigid measurements defined by objective standards.
This notion becomes more digestible for rational minds when we introduce the term "experientially." This term allows for an objective universe devoid of angels or aliens, while still acknowledging that individuals can choose to experience belief in these entities. "Experientially" encompasses delusion, imagination, and pretense. Most people find comfort in believing no one has encountered an angel or witnessed a UFO. Many of us feel more at ease dismissing conspiracy theories as mere fabrications arising from pain and paranoia.
Section 1.2: The Symbol and the Experience
It is crucial to remember that symbols do not equate to the actual experience. What religion describes as an angel does not capture the essence of feeling angelic guidance. Similarly, cinematic portrayals of alien encounters fail to convey the true nature of such experiences. Thus, rejecting the symbols does not inherently suggest that the entities they symbolize do not exist.
If we harbor negative views of religion, why would we assume they have an accurate representation of angels? If those fervently discussing UFOs appear unstable, why trust their narratives about aliens? If conspiracy theorists cling to demonstrably false ideas, such as undetectable microchips in vaccines, why should we regard their claims seriously?
Chapter 2: The Unknown and Belief
In this discourse, I am not advocating for belief in these concepts, nor am I suggesting you explore them. Rather, I urge an acknowledgment that we remain unaware of countless experiences yet to be discovered. The unknown is precisely that—unknown. We cannot definitively prove that something does not exist. Therefore, if you currently believe that angels or aliens do not exist, consider updating that belief to entertain the possibility that their existence remains unknown.
Even if we struggle to comprehend the full scope of reality, those who claim to have encountered angels or aliens are having genuine experiences. The commonality of these experiences fosters connections, leading to communities formed around shared beliefs. This must be recognized as a valid experience, despite our differing interpretations. Denying these experiences merely to maintain the comfort of our limited understanding is unwise.
Section 2.1: The Spectrum of Reality
Viewing something as a delusion versus recognizing it as "real" exists on a spectrum. It is not a binary state; instead, it reflects a range of perceptions. Embracing this spectrum allows us to transcend the reductionist thinking that elevates one perspective above all others.
For those who see the world in absolutes, it becomes challenging to perceive the angelic nudges, recognize alien communications in dreams, or identify corruption in familiar figures. Each individual has the right to inhabit their own reality, whether it be one of absolute truths or subjective experiences.
Belief in absolutes does not preclude the molding of one's reality through chosen beliefs. Embracing an absolute perspective is voluntary, not compulsory. Such beliefs shape how we view concepts like death—an event that may not signify the end of consciousness, but rather influences our interactions with the notion throughout life.
Chapter 3: The Subjectivity of Science
Every belief serves as a lens through which we perceive reality. This lens does not have to align with our current circumstances. If we gather a group of scientifically-minded individuals who view reality as absolute, we will discover that, despite their collective aim for clarity, each perceives reality differently.
Being a scientist does not eliminate the subjectivity of perception. What distinguishes the statement "We each perceive the same absolute world differently" from the assertion "There are as many different worlds as there are people"?
Among all possible experiences, only the singular "absolute" version is perceptually misleading—it is a mental construct born from countless extrapolations of real experiences.
Absolute reality, then, becomes an idol worshiped by science, an idea as influential as any deity. Is reality defined by consciousness or by measurement tools? Perceiving the world as absolute constitutes a genuine experience. Which viewpoint is accurate? Which holds value? Is either entirely true or false?
Section 3.1: The Dance of Reality and Illusion
This exploration illustrates that the dichotomy of reality versus illusion is misleading. Every experience possesses qualities of both being real and being illusory. It is not a matter of "either-or"; rather, it is about recognizing that your reality is a manifestation of individuality shaped by infinite consciousness.
Your consciousness is the architect of your reality, rather than the outcome of an external world. Consciousness precedes physical reality. Thus, it is illogical to assert that certain entities do not exist. If we can conceive them, we can also dream them—and if we can dream them, we can experience them.
As you grasp this concept, it is natural to feel fear arise within your foundational beliefs. The more you contemplate this, the clearer it becomes that reality is neither solid nor absolute. It cannot be relied upon unless understood as a reflection of infinite energy, and it is unpredictable.
Chapter 4: Embracing Diverse Realities
This world is not a singular entity; it is shaped by your beliefs. While there exists a robust shared experience, the individual realities within that framework are profoundly varied.
Scientists are correct in asserting that the elements of our collective experience allow for meaningful communication and shared intentions. However, this shared interface is just one aspect of a vast landscape teeming with diverse dimensions of experience. Choosing to live a human life often means becoming entranced by this interface of physicality and individuality.
Once you have fully engaged with the mortal experience, your intentions—rooted in eternal consciousness—will evolve. As you become captivated by the tangible aspects of life, you will begin to sense the possibilities that lie between mortality and immortality.
Our minds insist that if aliens and UFOs exist, we should all be aware of them, just as we believe the same for angels and conspiracies. This mentality stems from perceiving reality as objective, neglecting the rich diversity of individual experiences.
It is perfectly acceptable for smaller groups to have profound encounters that may not resonate with the broader population. Understanding this requires a shift from a rigid view of how reality should function to a more expansive understanding of how infinite consciousness might design this reality.
While it may seem logical that if angels, aliens, or conspiracies were real, we would all know about them by now, this perspective arises from a limited mortal viewpoint. From the standpoint of infinite consciousness, why restrict the potential of an expansive playground of experiences to a narrow interface of perceived reality?
Section 4.1: The Design of Humanity
Consciousness knows no boundaries—only the allure of fascination and the deterrent of fear, which can create the illusion of separation. It is impossible for us to be isolated from the experiences we envision.
Humanity was not designed to converge in uniformity but rather to celebrate diversity. The fundamental intent of human existence is to encompass a wide range of differences within a single species. What if we took disparate ways of being and integrated them into a shared experience? Could new and exciting possibilities emerge from their convergence?
This dynamic of mesmerization must be incredibly potent to focus such a diverse range of experiences. Understanding this means recognizing that humanity is the result of many forms of consciousness aiming to bridge those differences.
In relation to our discussion, it is essential to grasp that humanity was created as a singular experience to unite profound diversity. Therefore, what we are beyond the shared human experience is multifaceted. As reality reflects consciousness, this diversity manifests both internally and externally.
Despite our shared DNA, we are a biologically varied species, and our differences extend across cultural, ideological, moral, spiritual, and political dimensions. We embody many forms of consciousness expressed through a singular biological identity.
Whether considering cultural contrasts (e.g., East vs. West), racial distinctions (e.g., Latino vs. Asian), national identities (e.g., Russia vs. China), or religious beliefs (e.g., Catholicism vs. Scientology), consciousness with unique spiritual roots emerges from particular mindsets that facilitate transition. Over time, many individuals explore diverse cultures and ideologies, leading to the varied interpretations of angels and aliens. What may seem foreign to the general populace is deeply connected to individual experiences of self and identity.
Unconventional belief systems are not merely thrilling explorations of the unknown; they serve as bridges to other states of consciousness. This is what makes them so exhilarating—because they are now established belief systems, anyone can delve into them, not just those who perceive them as ideological pathways.
