In our so called lives..what is "true" and what is mindfully crafted?

Question

People say that what we see is not what is real but the figment of our imagination.
How everything we say, see, feel, or hear is nothing more than triggered sparks in our brain that kept memory of it previously.
When we close our eyes, our world is black.
When we sleep, it seems soo very real.
And how cute it is when "we" say our heart breaks. That is impossible to have done.
So please help me understand the purpose of having bad energy roam in the body or bad events occuring without using the Karma word.

Answer 1

True means an accurate reflection of reality, what is real. We do not know or understand truth ultimately, only an approximation.
"Triggering sparks" refers to our perceptions. What we see is not the cup itself, for example, but the light reflected off of the cup that reaches our eyes. The cup in its essences we do not see. The bird singing we hear is not the bird itself but sound vibrations traveling through the air. So our perceptions are limited by their design.
Dreams do seem real. We are subjective people, meaning our feelings and what we experience within colors our understanding of what's without.
We say "our heart breaks" because it feels that way because of loss. It is a metaphor, an exaggeration to express the feeling, the experience.
To me, the idea of karma is to learn from experience. The idea is that certain events come to us, maybe recycled, so that this time around we learn to react what way we should.
This life is a school in which we can learn to be all that we can be, to realize our potential. And I do believe in life after this one.

Answer 2

How can we answer what is true outside of us when we are at a loss to identify something true within ourselves? The clothes I wear, the way I walk, am I even the one wearing the clothes or walking the walk? Most of what constitutes the so called I is nothing more than manifestations of outside impressions. I no longer know what is true. I am walking their walk, talking their talk. My search for truth has begun and my first destination is me. Once I find out what is true within, I will then begin my search for what is true without.

Answer 3

Good question.
Though no one can know this for sure, I think the world is real. I think the people are real, the places are real. You live in this world, but how you see it is false. The way you see things is false. Opticle illusions PROVE this. You see things the way you want to see them. You focus on the things that interest you and disreagard the thing that bore you. This is why adds have good looking people in them, so you don't disregard them. I hope that made sense.

Answer 4

Perception is truth. You and I can look at the same object. Take a glass for instance. We are in the same room and look at the same glass. We are in fact seeing two different glasses. Your perception of the glass and mine are different. We are both creating the glass from our psyches or our perception of what we think that glass should look like. We are in fact, in two rooms, contemplating 4 people. The two of you and I that I percieve and the two of you and I that you perceive.

Answer 5

the superb thing approximately this unhappy poem, as poetry, is that it takes readers step via tenuous step in the time of that fragile tightrope to its end. Many metaphors have been used to describe existence's adventure, yet that's between the main picture I even have ever experienced.

Answer 6

truth is science...myth cannot be proven by any means...reality can be proven by simply opening up your eyes and finding the truth....
