Is reality realative?
The concept of impermanence - the realization that nothing is of duration but subject to constant change, has been stressed and been pointed out by many thinkers of all times.


The human being however has the wish for Permanence and Security and tries to create conditions which give him the feeling that this wish is reality.


What is achieved, is that he is creating a world in his mind and believes it to be real, which does not exist at all.





This then is called relative reality. And this is far away from absolute reality.





The reason can be found in the fact, that the human mind does not really perceive his environment.





The informational data, which his mind uses to work on the image of his surroundings are incomplete; the sources of these informations are unreliable.





Which sources of perception are at our disposal? We see, hear, taste, smell and feel. These are the five basic senses. Is there anything beyond that?

Yes - think really hard and drop something heavy on your foot. All your questions shall be answered.
Reply:I would say that its only possible to interact with the physical world by physical means. Our perceptions however are only an interpretation of this physical reality, so how closely they mirror reality itself is probably mostly dependent our mental condition. It can be argued that physical reality itself could differ drastically to how we see it eg, colours and sounds are merely frequencies with no identity other than their quantative relevance. Not only do we see colours and hear sounds, we categorise and subcategorise, we even react emotionally towards them.





As for our own mental reality, we are capable of building mental walls and knocking them at the bat of an eyelid. But the principal thing that governs this is our chosen beliefs and our own sense of conviction in that belief system.
