what do think of this theory, we all have our own realities?

Question

What is "real" to you may or may not be "real" to me. Each "mind" is its own membrane, flowing and interacting with the ones around it as we learn and teach.
just a thought, i'm wondering if I'm mistaken or not.
so what do you think reality is?

I'm talking about how minds interact with each other not Iraq or anything like that.

PSHDSA are you a idiot trying to be a genius and failing or genius trying to be an idiot and succeding?

Answer 1

Well, in a certain way you're right, because following your theory, your mind created that reality in which every mind is a different world BUT they are connected when they interact with the others. It's almost like a "multiverso" (physic's theory).
So it could really be possible.
For example in the time when I am writting this I am not real for you, but when you read my answer I become real for you.

Answer 2

I think its right in so far as we can only ever know our own experiences - we can only know what occurs to us, not what occurs to anybody else. In that sense we each have our own reality. But I think these realities must reflect some deeper reality otherwise there would be no way for us to communicate or relate to others. So even though we cannot directly sense this ultimate reality, it is reasonable to assume that it exists and the reality each of us perceives is to greater and lesser degrees based on it.

The way you talk about it sounds like Leibniz's monads - each floating around not interacting with any other, only aware of its own subjective experience, and I don't think that is plausible simply because of all the similarities we share with each other. If experience was totally cut off from an objective reality, then it would be highly unlikely that there could ever be any communication.

Answer 3

i think that we are all living in our own realities int eh way that things are not part of your reality until you become aware of them. but I dont think that we are in a dream because we cannot create knowledge. I mean if it were a dream then how would I be able to learn mathematical formulas??? If I am creating that world then everything that exist in it I already know so why would I teach my self? And If I am doing it so that I would have an acutal "life' then why would I not want it to be better. I do think that our reality is what we make it, no matter what teh situation we have control over our perception if nothing else. we can percieve things how we want, good and bad. We may be wrong or incorrect but our minds have a goal and we think in manners that align with that goal.

In Buddhism, the whole world, not just the earth, the whole universe, anything that exists outside this universe, hell, heaven, whatever exists that may or may not be known to us and all things exist inside them are all the creation of one metaphysical thing, in essence, we human being, and all the animals, the stones, the water, the sun, the moon are all fruits on one big tree, we are all essentially the same, that metaphysical thing that is the foundation of everything is always the same, it doesn't change, it never has been born, it Will never die, but its movement will create everything, and it's in constant move, like atmosphere, the movement of air can creat wind, hurricane, tornado, but the air itself will remain the same, the thing is also like human brain, our brain can create anything in our mind, but out brain will remain the same, the movement of that thing will create the universe, the hell, the heaven, god, Jesus, and human being, and everything else, if you can feel,realize, and know the existence of that thing, and be able to make use of its movement, in short , if you know who you really are, and be able to apply this knowledge to use, you will become a Buddha, using the above brain analogy, the metaphysical thing is a giant brain, it is at sleep, so it dreams out the whole universe and everything in it, we are all part of the metaphysical brain, if ourselves can realize we are in a dream and learn to control our brain, we can create whatever we want, nothing can stop us from doing what we want, we can sit in hell enjoying heaven like life, we can create a new universe, heck, we can even create a God to control that universe, we will be the neo in the Matrix, only with unlimited power, because we are in a giant dream, and in dream, anything can be created.

Answer 5

What drivel that is! Stick you in the middle of a terrorist camp in Iraq and see how that lame philosophy crashes when real bullets and swords fly and swish. Can you read? Then read something that will straighten that mixed up brain some good: "How to think about weird things -- Critical thinking for a new age", by Theodore Schick, Jr. and Lewis Vaughn.

Answer 6

Read the book "The Philosophy of Niche in the Light of Thomistic Principles" Written by a nun, Sister Celine Rita Jette. You'll find it in any library. She was my aunt.

Answer 7

what if we only dream our realities and in reality we are not even here and never have been thats why we cannot make anyone else think the exact same way as we do because we are only dreaming their existence and visa versa like when youre dreaming about someone like a movie star and in your dream he is in love with you and you really beleive it but he dos'nt even know you exist.

Answer 8

I once heard that "your precept ion is your reality" and have since found that to seem to be true. People can go through the same situation and see it differently. It is all in how you look at it.

Answer 9

Perception.

Answer 10

Why don't you read something good? Are you saying that you are having problems communicating with girls? Start wit Leibniz and Habermas.
