The Nugget

Reality is a unified experience shaped by our perceptions. Everything perceived as separate from oneself is actually part of a single, indivisible reality, and our perceptions shape its form.

Make it stick

🏞 Illusions have reality. An illusion isn't something unreal; rather, it's something real that isn't what it appears to be.
🌐 One reality. There can't be separate realities; all perceived things share the same underlying reality.
🧠 Mind shapes perception. Our mind's senses (sight, sound, etc.) determine how reality appears to us, just like colored glasses tint our vision.
🌌 Conscious activity. The world we perceive is the activity of a universal consciousness, viewed through the lens of a finite mind.

One Reality: There are no separate realities; everything perceived belongs to a single reality. This is akin to waves being part of the same ocean.
Interconnectedness: For an observer to know another object, they must be part of the same reality.

Nature of Illusions: An illusion exists but isn't what it appears to be, similar to a landscape in a movie that's real as a projection, but not as an actual landscape.
Penetrating Illusions: To understand reality, one must see beyond appearances to the underlying 'screen' or true nature.

Appearance Through Senses: The world appears to us in a specific form due to our sensory perceptions (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell).
Mind and Senses: Our mind confers the appearance of reality. Without mind's perceptions, there would be no form or divisions—just a formless, indivisible presence.

Self-Knowing Being: One’s sense of 'I am' is a direct, self-knowing experience, not mediated by perception or thought.
Infinite vs. Finite: Reality consists of infinite consciousness perceived through finite minds, much like varied snapshots of a single object.

Quantum Physics: The interaction between infinite consciousness and finite minds parallels concepts in quantum physics.
Poetic Insight: Wordsworth’s notion of the world being "half created and half perceived" aligns with the idea that our senses shape the appearance of reality.

"The reality is that which truly is."
"All experienced is real; there's no such thing as an unreal experience."
"The way the world appears is directly correlated with our sense perceptions."
"In order for the movement of consciousness to be perceived, it must be from a localized perspective."
"Relationship precedes relata; things emerge from the interaction between the whole and the parts."
