I am going to have to borrow the standard definition of Consciousness, not because I have depleted my resource but because I can’t find a logical way to explain my experience with consciousness.

According to Wikipedia consciousness is a state of being aware and responsive to one’s surroundings. It is this awareness, just yesterday, I shaved my long beard, I have had it for over two years.

My cousin passed my me, I talked to him a bit, he didn’t say anything. Then later he came back in and noticed I had shaved, then he started laughing, I asked him didn’t you see it when you passed by me? he said no. I was amazed how most of the time we perceive our memories, our minds become accustomed to certain patterns on which we fail to see minor details in real-time.

What is Reality?

Simply put, the reality is what we process with our sensory inputs as a physical experience. With the rise of augmented reality and virtual reality, the line between what is real and imaginary begins to fade very quickly. Because if your eyes process light waves to convince you that it is real, then a movie on a higher pixel per inch monitor could also convince you the same.

In the event, we alter or sabotage these sensory inputs, then a reality disappears.

According to NASA, the human eye is only capable of perceiving light wavelengths between 380 to 700 nanometers. The question is what about the rest of it? and then what about hearing, touch, and smell?. It’s obvious there is an unseen multidimensional reality beyond our perception that exists at the same place and time.

Besides physical appearance, our brains are wired to identify certain patterns, you can see in nature that predators and prey, camouflage by having a certain pattern that resembles their environment.

How Perception Alters Reality

When you perceive something, it doesn’t mean that is the true appearance of what you are perceiving.

Let’s take an example, if you hold a glass of cold water, your perception is that this glass of water is cold. looking from another perspective, however, “there is no glass.”

If a dog looks at that glass would it be glass? or if a fish looks at that glass would it be glass? Let take it further. You feel the glass cold because of the fact that your body has a temperature of approximately 37 degrees centigrade, and if something is below that then you perceive it as cold, but there is no such thing as cold or hot, outside your perception. Ok so what about the physical experience?

  • where is big or small?
  • when does something become solid, liquid to gas?

The fact that everything is relative to your perception, then outside your consciousness, nothing really exists.

To conclude this, just ask yourself;

Are other dimensions habitable?

is the world of electromagnetism a dimension itself?

and are there living things?
