What is the definition of REALITY??

Answer 1

REALITY??

Tupac once said...."May Be Dreams Are For real"

When you look at anything, it is the ultimate you see, but you will imagine that you see a cloud or a tree. Learn to look without imagination, to listen without distortion: that is all. Stop attributing names and shapes to the essentially subjective and formless, realize that every mode of perception is subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched or smelt, felt or thought, expected or imagined, is in the mind and not in reality.

Basically, all happens in the mind only. When you work for something it happens, for it is the function of the mind to make things happen. In reality nothing is lacking and nothing is needed, all work in on the surface only. Just as light destroys darkness by its very presence, so does the absolute destroy imagination. To see that all knowledge is a form of ignorance is itself a movement of reality. The witness is not a person. The person comes into being when there is a basis for it, an organism, a body. In it the absolute is reflected as awareness. Pure awareness becomes self-awareness. When there is a self, self-awareness is the witness. When there is no self to witness, there is no witnessing either. It is all very simple; it is the presence of the person that complicates. See that there is no such thing as a permanently separate person and all becomes clear.

Behave as if you were pure awareness, bodiless and mindless, spaceless and timeless, beyond 'where' and 'when' and 'how'. Stay on it. Discover, realise reality.

The false dissolves when it is discovered. All hangs on the idea 'I am'. Examine it very thoroughly. It lies at the root of every trouble. It is a sort of skin that separates you from the reality. The real is both within and without the skin, but the skin itself is not real. This 'I am' idea was not born with you. You could have lived very well without it. It came later due to your self-identification with the body. It created an illusion of separation where there was none.

Answer 2

Despite reality being a supposed sensory experience, consider this. All of your 5 senses are hooked up to your central nervous system. In fact your eyes connect directly to your brain. Everyone despite being different people see the same thing. It is impossible to say that the world around us is any different from what anybody else sees. I don't mean in a psychological sense, but in a literal physical sense. Right down to the most minute details. If you were looking at a blade of grass from someone's yard, you would say it is green has a certain texture, length and weight. Whether or not you measured or estimated the exactness of these physical properties, all are the same regardless of observer. Essentially it is a blade of grass with length, breadth, weight and color whether or not you observe or I do. Even though we don't all describe the things as being the same in appearance-they are. This leads me to believe that there is indee a physical reality we all experience on a day to day basis. If for example we were all hooked up to an infrastructure like the matrix, it would be near impossible for everyone to see the exact same thing down to the detail because everyone's brain works differently. However, if you were to switch brains or consciousness with someone else in the real world, you would see the same thing barring your vision was not impaired. In other words reality is an experience in which all humans at least experience the same general way whether or not something appears to one different than another person. Dreams on the other hand couldn't be anymore subjective.

Answer 3

First of all reality to be classified as

1. Sensual reality
2. Mental reality (Dream reality, hallucinated reality, emotional reality)
3. Physical reality
4 Perceived reality
5. Historical reality
6.Virtual reality


Now I think there is no need of definition here. All are self explanatory.

Answer 4

Reality in everyday usage means "everything that exists". The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether it is observable, comprehensible, or self-contradictory by science, philosophy, or any other system of analysis. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas existence is often restricted to being (compare with nature).

In the strict sense of Western philosophy, there are levels or gradation to the nature and conception of reality. These levels include, from the most subjective to the most rigorous: phenomenological reality, truth, fact, and axiom.

Other philosophies, particularly those founded in eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism have different explications of reality. Conceptions of reality in Buddhism include: dharma, paramattha dhamma, samsara and maya (illusion in Sanskrit).

Answer 5

Firts reality is just a word that humans made up so we could understand each other...
Reality is different for everyone. When we pass paths we experience the same reality but still different...
Reality is an illusion...

Answer 6

reality is the perception we give to the impulses our brain recieve from the stimuli recieved by the eyes. based on our knowledge,experience and imagination. no two people experience the same reality, but we come close enough to accept a common dream as reality. if i were to say to you im looking at a chair immediately your mind has an image of a chair but your experiences are different to mine so how your mind and mine picture that chair will be different based on our experiences with chairs. however the basic nature of the information is similar enough to allow communication of these concepts.

Answer 7

Definition of Reality can't be real, EVER.

Answer 8

It depends. To me reality is the sensory field. Meaning what is real is that which is felt. Any meaning inferred is not reality but a secondarily created construct. I'm OK with meaninglessness, if your not go on believing what you do. Its OK.

Answer 9

maybe there are two realities the individual reality and common shared reality. The term implies objectivity in observing a subject.
The question is can there be actual objectivity as everyone view is largely subjective.. it could even be a question of semantic..
is the colour blue? blue or aqua?

Answer 10

Reality is anything you can sense,see hear, touch, taste,and smell. Reality test does someone else perceive the same thing you do. What isn't real in someway?
