What is the Nature of Reality?

Post by mensa-maniac »

What is the Nature of Reality?

First, of all to discuss what the nature of reality is, is to determine what it is. Many people believe reality to be many things, the trees, birds, sky, etc and they'd be right, however, a more important reality is existing on this earth, and that reality is YOU!

You are the reality, therefore the question is asking you, what is the nature of reality, which in other words is asking what is the nature of your reality. Perhaps, your nature is to be a nasty asshole, or maybe you're not assertive enough, or to demanding, or a seriously affected narcissistic twit, or maybe you're to nice, whatever your character is lies the nature of your reality.

Each person represents an individual reality, therefore, no reality is the same.

Looking at What is the Nature of Reality from a different angle is to say, progression, mediocrity, development.

What do you mean by "Reality"? That's the question within the question and the answer within the answer.

Reality is you Dan, you realize this I know you do. Reality is truth, You are truth because you exist.

I just lost an excellent example of what Truth is and lost it to fucking cyberspace.

Truth is Reality, Reality is YOU!

Truth is Reality, Reality is You!

My truth is my existence, your truth is your existence, that's the truth, even if you see it differently. My existence is my reality, your existence is your reality. To know truth is to know thyself.

The truth is we have the Bible to believe in although translated through the centuries, it is our only source to derive truth from faith or choice to believe in it's contents.

I was given a chance to create myself, so I became the fertilized egg when Mr. Sperm claimed me.

Reality is not me. I am a thing.

"I have merged your other topic with this one, as a new topic was completely unnecessary"

True, my mind was slightly altered and caused my thinking to flub-up.

"Reality is not me, I am a thing"

All things we see are realities, but we also see our dreams and have delusions, is this to say they are not realities because our dreams cannot be seen by anyone else? If a delusion is not a reality what is it?

You initially capitalized "Reality". I am not Reality. I am a thing; Reality is not.

^Above is a classic example of god-denial.

Dan thinks he is a thing, but doesn't realize he can see that he is a 'thing' because he was made that thing by a higher ability than himself.

Atheism is like teenage growing-pains for the soul.

Your new-found God-bothering is painfully tedious. I am quite disappointed by it. It was much better when you were a moderately interesting troll.

I agree that Dan is a thing, so am I and so are you, but we're all reality things, regardless if you agree or not. Humanity is reality. It was my mistake to capitalize the word reality.

The nature of reality is aging, and the truth here is the fact we all age!

Truth cannot be denied, therefore it never changes!

My reality is I was visited twice by an Alien and perhaps created by this Alien, perhaps God is that Alien.

I brought this topic up as part of my reality, not necessarily to discuss this, as I'd prefer not to.

People who want to discuss or contemplate the theory that they were either birthed or visited, or any such - by aliens - ought take their views to a forum that accommodates such nonsense, or go see a psychiatrist.

Do not post such blather here. I will not repete this warning.

I also do not care that you think this warning is unreasonable.

I am the way the truth and the light, Dan. I am God.

Genius is about connecting with God. You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

If you were stating those things wisely, I'd agree, but the way you're doing it lately makes you look like a typical Xian dolt. Your recent rhetoric is somewhat confusing.

Anyone should be able to discuss anything at all on a genius forum, after all it is a genius forum. To try and stifle a poster is not genius in any sense of the word. There were no racism slurs, or improper conduct, just an opposer with a smug sense of power trying to control people.

A person doesn't need to see a psychiatrist because they try to discuss a truth. That was uncalled for. Just because YOU don't see it as a truth, doesn't make it an untruth. And just because you don't want these things discussed doesn't mean others won't read it. Why do you control what people decide to discuss? Perhaps, you need to control yourself first.

Did the Aliens hold a gun to your head warning you to delete any post about them?
