Reality!.. , is it magic?
What is our surrounding? How does it work? This is one of the
quests philosophy has gone after for centuries. What do we have so far?
Wikipedia:
“Reality is the sum or
aggregate of all that is real or existent, as opposed to that which is merely
imaginary.”
What is meant by real and existent are the
ground, the trees, the water, the goods made, buildings, roads, cars, this
computer you get the idea. These are things that we can touch or in a broader
sense experience through our conscience. Not only we can experience these
things and be aware of them we can also build this powerful entity called
science to investigate all this (Wikipedia’s Reality) in detail, design and
build with assurance of the outcome.
However the very definition above becomes mute because, the
imaginary is real and is existent. I don’t want to play word games I understand
what is meant, the imaginary does not exist in a solid form or identified
separately one’s conscience. We cannot
identify the imaginary takes place unless the person’s conscience (imaginary
holder) gets involved to tell us about it. We note on the above definition of
Reality is that of exclusion, reality is not all that exist but all minus a
part of it. According to the very rules that science uses to operate this is
wrong. We cannot exclude (especially when we don’t understand) the need is to
observe everything to achieve some result.
As the science progresses the definition used above and
science itself, hits a wall. The double slit experiment proves over and over
that the imaginary, one person’s presence affects the real world. It is not my
intent to make this complicated. So I
will skip it for now.
One scientist named Carl Gustav Jung made the right decision
to not discard anything. He studied dreams. Dreams must take place somewhere;
let’s consider that it is only someone’s mind. As loose and broad as it is, it
is a better example as everyone will relate. In contrast to the conscious in
the dream we are kind of out, can’t measure, predict or control beforehand. To
note this we can call it the unconscious. Using the dream example is easy to
illustrate that from the unconscious we can take information back to the
conscious. We can speak, write or draw about the dream. Also there is
information in the unconscious about the real world that surrounds us. Whether
was there or we placed it is not important now. We can all agree that:
The Unconscious
is part of the construct that surrounds us where we can place and retrieve
information from the Conscious.
Spirituality from the beginning makes the case that
unconscious is part of reality and has a correlation with the physical world.
Jung made meticulous observation’s on this direction, now there is a full branch
on the medical field based on the understanding that at least there is a
correlation between unconscious and personal well being.
Is there any correlation between the Unconscious and Reality
as defined above? That will answer many of the questions on this group. On the
next two posts I will show with simple words this correlation and how life
works. I understand the previous phrase J
