No. Being real is analogous to the difference between knowledge and wisdom: knowledge can be taught. But wisdom cannot be taught. We think that your energies would be better served if you concentrated on learning to love yourself--Ahh, but isn't that the REAL art of being real.

There is always a pitch battle in the mind between knowing versus learning. I think, I know what is real and therefore I am real. And then what I cannot know, I believe that it is the way I believe it is. Normally all my efforts are engaged in seeking assurance for my beliefs, or the proofs for my knowledge. I often question the correctness of what I know, but very rarely I question the truthfulness of my beliefs. It has been brought to my knowledge as part of my observation of human life that human knowledge can be erroneous and human beliefs greatly misleading. There has been theory upon theory of scientific knowledge being disproved and then rectified, and then there has also seen instances where fought and even died for wrong causes that they honestly believed were right.
Then how should I know if what I know is right and that my beliefs are truly of a divine nature? I was not born knowledgeable; my parents and the environment that I grew in taught me the applicable proof of the rightfulness of my beliefs. If I learned then, as I learn all my life up to this point, then why should I stop now? May be what I know is right, but do not know exactly how. I know for instance that smoking is bad for me but I do not think I know this well enough, as I still smoke. Then it is also possible that what I believe in is true but I am not real enough to live up to my own beliefs. May be I am not able to realise all that I have in my mind as my ideals in life.
Learning sure is the way for mankind as it has always been, and learning processes also include relearning as alongside learning. It is important to know what to learn, but it is also important how to learn. I will never be hundred percent real in my life; there will always be parts of my mind unrealised as my dreams, ambitions, aspirations and hopes. Some of these things are potentially realistic but many of these could also be inordinate and completely unrealistic. But as I live I learn what is realistic in the higher realms of my mind and what is not.

I think so.....I know I have, at least. I think if you are in an enviroment where you feel it is safe to be yourself and to let go of whatever fakeness you have, then it is possible to learn to love yourself for who you are and be the real you. It all depends what your definition of real is. I know for me, when I first entered middle school, I was made fun of for my weight at the time. So I closed myself off to healthy relationships and lashed out at people I thought were a threat because I felt that if I was my real self, they would torment and dislike me more then they already did. Now, four years later, I'm the polar opposite of that person, and I think it's because I've become more confident with the real me. Hope that answers your question.

No, I don't think so, but most of us believe that we are real, which is a nice delusion to have.
I suppose now you make this person I imagine I am think about it, we are learning to be real, when we believe that we are real, because we are imagining we are doing what we would do if we were real, so I change my answer.
Yes we can learn to be real, but I don't know if we can actually be real.

John Paul Sartre argue that nothing is real and everything around us is mearly a subjective perception.
So if we are not real to start with the chances of learning to be real are very small

The answer is NO.
To learn to be real would mean you would have not to be real in the first place.
If you are not real, then you can't learn anything because you are not really there.

Well, in order to be 'real' you first have to understand what 'real' is. It's far too open. Something that's real to me, could not be real to you. It is really an ever changing thing.

I think you have to unlearn "to be real" But I guess that can also be a learning process! Learn to unlearn? Yes I like that!

Interesting! Depends on what your interpretation of 'real' is. But...I'm a bit unsure as to how a person can be 'real' or 'unreal'. What is your opinion?
Regards :-)
