Have you ever asked yourself what is real?
Is something you see real?
It could be real to you, but it's not necessarily going to be real to me. If we see the same thing, we are all decoding the same information. That is true, yes? But what then happens is what makes reality an illusion.
When we see a plane flying across the sky, we all see the same thing. But what then happens is, we decide what we think about that plane. We decide what kind of a plane it is, where it is going and who is on board. This is how reality is built. We are all making reality out of our own perception.
But even our own perception is not totally ours. It was manipulated through all of our life. Through human history, people were programmed to see the world in a certain way. Our parents were programmed to see the world the in a certain way and they have passed this to us. Then we go to school and teachers, who were also programmed to see the world in a certain way, are giving us curriculum that forms our reality.
We have all gone through this period of life. So basically the great majority of people see themselves and the world in those terms. This is why humanity can be controlled and this is why human reality is an illusion.
What about the physical world we live in, is that the ultimate reality? The reality that is constructed out of matter and energy. But the question here is whether reality is independent of the mind?
