do you beleive that this is all real???

Question

do you beleive that EVERYTHING you have ever known and loved is actualy real, and not just some crazy illusion created by you or something else?

id you do beleive this is all real then what is your philosophy behind it?? what made you beleive this IS all real.

Answer 1

Let us assume that everything IS an illusion. Then I who am conscious that all around me is an illusion must exist in order to realize that it is all an illusion. Therefore at least I exist and then something exists, therefore not everything is an illusion.

Answer 2

Pinch yourself. You're not dreaming. What you take in with your senses is real. Or at least it's convincing enough that you and all those around you believe it. If you are seeing or hearing things that others don't see/hear then it's possible it's not real but a delusion. So in a sense reality is judged by whatever the majority deem to be real. In the physical world, I trust my senses. Have to. They are what we have to go on. Of course there is also an emotional and mental world, a spiritual world that you can not see. For the intangibles I trust my heart (figurative heart not the organ). I go on faith & instinct. God is real to me even though I can not see Him & there is no concrete proof.

I believe all this is real. I've been convinced over the past few decades. I've never found any evidence to the contrary, so until I do, I will continue to believe this reality. (The Matrix was a freaky movie that makes you question what is real & what illusion, especially when deja-vus happen...an interesting idea.)

Answer 3

A. What's the difference? If there is absolutely no way of determining it's verisimilitude, why bother trying to figure it out? If after a few thousand years of trying and no human has done it yet, do you really think you're going to be the one to figure it out?
In other words, pick your battles.

B. After considering what we "know" about the universe and the history of homo sapiens development, the idea that all of it was just waiting for us to appear on the scene is ludicrous. Or the idea that this entire universe was invented to be part of the deception is also ludicrous. We could very easily have been put on a planet with a constant cloud cover or a higher gravity pull that would have made it impossible for us to ponder a universe or able to explore it.

Answer 4

That depends on what you call real. Everything I see and feel and hear is real in the sense that it exists here in physical reality. I believe that I create it. I believe that everything exists in another form in spiritual reality which I also consider real. So you could say that everything in physical reality is an illusion but it is a REAL illusion, an illusion in the sense that nothing really exists here in physical reality except in our consciousness/spiritual reality. All things spiritual create all things physical. All things exist in consciousness first and foremost.

Answer 5

What is real is hard to define. We are limited by our senses, only able to live in what we perceive. Descartes proof for existence lies in the fact that "I think therefore I am". My proof for existence is that "I think therefore I might be". There is just as much proof that reality exists as there is for time travel. I believe its better to believe in existence then to not. Believing this is real makes reality so much better. That's the greatnes of life. The fact that nothing is known and everything is placed on a faith grounded on literally nothing by 5 senses and a little bit of conceptual thought!

Answer 6

Dreaming your way through life is not real. You need to stay at the Reality Check Clinic for a few days and get in touch with yourself.

Answer 7

I started believing all this is real after I did not eat for a couple days. when I saw a hamburger I knew it was real, so I had to be real to eat it and a couple of its cousins. Try this experiment, don't pay rent for a couple months and see if reality doesn't reveal itself to you in a way you can no longer deny

Answer 8

Welcome to this question If you process it this way it may help. Divide it into universes of veiwpoint. So If you have your universe (point of veiwing) and I have my universe(point of veiwing. We both may see the same thing yet in different ways. However if we both agree on an universe we call this reality. So reality is just the agreement that things exsist. (third universe)
So perhaps this isn't real it's just an agreement of an universe or reality. So joe no it's only real if you agree it is.

Answer 9

Out of convention I believe (or else I wouldn't trust my senses to tyope, walk, eat, etc.. I have to believe there is a fork in my hand to eat)

In contemplation I do not believe (Q about reality, etc)

Answer 10

Yes Joe, it's real. God created you with a purpose. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. This life is short & temporary. We will either move on to eternity with our Heavenly Father or eternity in hell with satan. The choice is yours. God's will is for you to realize your purpose and tell others about Him and He wants to change your heart. Check it out. :)
