REALITY, WOW WHAT A CONCEPT !
Have you ever pondered on that statement? I wondered what the actual definition of reality was so I went to Websters. Acording to Webesters the definition is as follows;
A state or quality of being real, actuality, fact and truth.
After reading this and thinking to myself, "The very definition of reality is totally dependant on the perception of ones own experience. So after shairing an experence, what you feel to be a truth or reality may well be totally different from mine.
I would carry on with this.... but now Im interested in your thoughts. How does this work between friends when tring to understand a common experience? How about a Court of Law?
How between people of different faiths....or color....or countrys.
Well, what do you think?

i try to make it simple, life=reality. i believe life is the truth and the perception of truth. people always wonder if you see the same colors as they do, i agree with you. and that is why each country is different because we base our experiecnes on reality and what we can do to make the most of it.

God is Love... is the only reality. All else is but an illusion. However, everything seen and unseen is God, is Love. Then, in our illusion there are many realities. The one who says that the dentist is not going to hurt much has hers or his reality. The one sitting in the dentist chair surely has hers or his reality also. Your very body is an illusion. It is not solid at all. Hold a flashlight to the palm of your hand. Does not the light shine right through.

Reality is debatable. I disconnect from reality frequently and it's very unpleasent. On an average day I must ask myself at least 5 times, "is this real?" Real is a debatable opinion. Life is a game we all play and we all have our own rules. I really mean it.

No wiser words have ever been spoken than this definition by Lily Tomlin's "Bag Lady"...
"What IS 'reality', anyway?
Nothin' but a collective hunch!"
