What to make of reality

[idav]

As science shows we can't really see reality. It isn't even material the way people think of the material. If we could actually see things we would see mostly empty space in beings and sort of ethereal bodies moving through space. This is what makes me think of everything as energies struggling against each other, changing forms and what not. What do you make of reality, what is it made of.

 

[wizanda]

What do you make of reality, what is it made of.

The reality is made from quantum code; where everything is consciousness vibrating at different speed.

It is one of those deep profound questions that takes us to the edge of our known universe and the limits of our finite minds. I think we would agree that science provides answers to this question but I would argue religion concerns itself with ultimate reality too, though approaching the essential nature of the universe from a different perspective.

Consciousness is an attribute not a thing.

 

[wizanda]

Consciousness is an attribute not a thing.

Consciousness is living dynamic code; it is the fabric of the Matrix....We're inside a computer system; where all of it is conscious at a binary level.

Thus our consciousness can interact with matter, shape it by thought alone; as matter is just consciousness at a dense vibratory level.

I think the consciousness in the system is just one of many attributes.

Philosophy takes as much a stab at it as religion does.

Not quite sure how you mean an attribute?

 

[David T]

What ever you say the Tao is, is not the Tao.

 

[Augustus]

What do you make of reality, what is it made of.

Our realities are made with stories, narrative and myths. Our experience of 'objective reality' is shaped and distorted by how it fits in with these.

This is an inescapable aspect of human cognition.

 

[idav]

Not quite sure how you mean an attribute?

All knowing, all seeing, omni-present, eternal etc.

Our lived reality is our perception of reality. As our perception of reality changes, so does what is reality itself to us. It's all reality. If you want to know the nature of Reality, as it is, you have to step outside perception itself, but then that itself becomes a perspective on perspectives, making that reality. And on we go into infinite regression trying to find bottom. Reality is turtles all the way down.

 

[Aupmanyav]

What do you make of reality, what is it made of.

Either 'nothing' or a 'force field' (are the two different?), but people can make whatever they want to out of it.

सतो बन्धुमसति निरविन्दन हृदि प्रतीष्याकवयो मनीषा ll
sato bandhumasati niravindan hṛdi pratīṣyākavayo manīṣā ll
Sages who searched with their heart's thought discovered the existent's kinship in the non-existent.
'Nasadiya Sukta', RigVeda (Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CXXIX. Creation.)

Reality is turtles all the way down.

At least till now.

Even more confused now; seems your answer is to the question, 'what is the divine'.

A pantheist is where everything is made of the same essence as the divine; which according to many, is that it is in a place of pure consciousness.

Heaven (Oneness) is without form, and is simply consciousness (within my NDE).

Personally more of panentheist, and think the CPU generates the constructs of the conscious reality we see around us.

The CPU is also made from consciousness, yet at such an intense level it is beyond cognitive calculation.

Now it could be possible since not left the Matrix yet; that really everything is just inside a computer, and what we perceive as consciousness is dynamic evolving computer code.

Thus still stumped by your answers, as they seem to go from the opposite direction, that consciousness belongs to something (attribute); rather than consciousness is all that exists.

 

[allfoak]

The substance underlying all things is not knowable.
It is like asking a fish to describe water.
The answer would be: "what is water"? "there is no proof that such a thing even exists", would be the answer.

 

[Kemosloby]

Reality is all that can be, regardless of whether it has manifested or not manifested.

 

[George-ananda]

What do you make of reality, what is it made of.

I think the only Ultimate Reality is God/Brahman Consciousness. There is a spark of that God/Brahman in all of us. All the material planes from the subtlest to the grossest are just props in the creative play/drama of God/Brahman. He separates Himself from Himself in Act I and then returns Himself to Himself in Act II. Why? - to experience finite experience. Why? - it's like asking humans why they produce art with no practical purpose.

Science reduces everything to math.
Our real world is more like art.

Why should there be different forms at all?
Without the mystical qualitative aspect, math would reduce everything to a simple
number like zero or 1.

Science is like a sieve, it catches the big solid easy things,
and lets slip the most vital and most subtle fluid ideas.

There are things and there are infinite atrributes, let's say from a monistic view. A live person could see, it could hear, along with the millions of other sensory our brain deals with, all those are attributes. These multitude of things are not just one from a physical perspective, they are individual sensory that don't live in a realm of oneness naturally, they have to communicate via something whether it be light, sound, electromagnetic whatever, the oneness would then be an attribute of that multitude of things. You take away those senses one by one and you get an object not communicating with itself.

Similar to the ontology of Spinoza, the oneness that is the beggnnng does not have mind, thought and mind are atteibutes of the infinite modes.

Science reduces things to what can can be perceived with various instruments and helps us to pick up on things we could never perceive. That doesn't mean it misses the subtle, science has shown to advance in the minutist of reality.
