One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

I think that there are some things a human can do to discover ‘rips’ and ‘loopholes’ in reality. We assume that everything is its own, solid, and real stature, that what you hold is simply itself. But we forget that everything is composed of smaller things. Very, very tiny molecules and atoms. And they are constantly in motion. I believe these things can be manipulated. We trust our vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell because that is all we have. If they were taken away, how could we know anything existed? How would we know that we had more than just darkness and thoughts? Would we even be able to think without knowing language and not having use of any senses? Feelings would merely be the rushing of blood to the head or deep breaths or feeling facial muscles twist and contort themselves. Nothing would have a name. Happiness would not be called happiness, it would be the feeling of something surging throughout what your thoughts occupy.
But, as I was saying earlier, if the senses are manipulated (i.e. drug use, alcohol use, near death experiences, blacking out) then reality is manipulated as well. Our senses define reality. Without our senses we would not know what is real or not. Our definition of what is real is derived from our use of our senses and nothing more. Of course, thoughts have the power to manipulate too. Thoughts have control over what we see and can’t see–our imaginations. Our dreams. Desires. Fear. Our streams of consciousness are the beds that hold the rivers and streams of what humans perceive to be real and true.
If the entire world was put on shrooms, every single living being and creature if possible, and every creature witnessed the sky falling, who could say it was not really happening? Reality is composed of what we know and see, as I said. What human kind has seen since our arrival. But if we alter the visions of the people, with anything, drugs, whatever, then the seemingly tumbling sky would be reality. Even kissing– if every human were to kiss someone and feel that electricity and the lights start to fade in and out, if every human experiences that heightened state of being, then I think the essence of reality will bend to suit the mutual state of mind of the entire human race for the time being. This is why I believe reality is versatile. It’s the silly putty made of corn starch and water. Hard when stabbed, but soft when handled softly.
The only reason we have the set rules for what ‘reality’ is (like the sky is blue, mostly, grass is green, blood is red, we fall because of gravity) is because we constantly have proof of it from another witness. If two people existed on earth, alone, and one saw the sky as purple and the other saw it as yellow, who could we believe? If there were three people and the third also saw a yellow sky, then they would believe the sky is truly yellow, and shun the other person’s image. But who is still to say that the purple sky is non-existent? Who is to prove that things can and cannot exist, that the impossible are just things humans haven’t done yet. Things that are human created like problems, ‘life’, love, war, are all part of this versatile reality.
I would really like some opinions on this. I hope I make sense.
