Can't agree with that. Perception is perception, reality is reality. Reality is what doesn't go away even if you don't believe in it.

You can choose not to believe in it, but your belief does not alter the fact. If you stand in the rain and choose to believe that it is not raning, you still get wet. It's not like you don't get wet if you choose to believe that it's not raining.

Nope, we live in illusion. What we see, what we hear, remember it is just a brain intepretation, but what lies in front of us could be a formation of number like movie matirx or some wave energy. It is brain intepretation that made us believe that we see a girafe, we see elephatant but is it all are intepretation of the brain.

Interestingly, even when we sleep n dream, we able to to see, smell or hear something even there are no STIMULUS!!! That can be an evident that it is our brain that intepret it. Because our brain intepret as such n we have live like that since we are young, we were indoctrined by the brain that is there is cause n effect. We believe that we eat apple, it tastes sweet, we believe we cant walk on water. We believe that if we have sex we would happy, all this are intepretation of brain.

But in reality, we have been fooled what the brain tells us. Because the reason is we have being trained to believe so. We have been train or being indoctrined since we are child that fire feels hot, ice feels cool. In other word, we have been attached to what we want to believe , to believe the the nature's rule or what that have been programmed inside our brain.

In order to free from this program, we need to train ourself not to relied on the program. But how would we free from this program when we depends on its too much? Its not suprisingly why religion do somehow forbid human from excessive pleasure or behavior that based on "nafsu". Because such pleasure or behaviour that based on "nafsu" made us relied more on the programe. In other hand, some human insteadd of chossing the moderate life of believer, they choose an extremism way in order hope to see the reality. They isolate themselves from people, fasting almost every day, n do lot of meditation, reason for hoping that he wont relied on this programe, instead he hopes that through his training, he will relied on others beside the programme that being implanted. In other word, the reality is once u freed from the programme, that is the real reality

ah another argumentum ad infinitum.

the perception of the reality is often flawed and dependent on many variables i.e education, culture. and when our perception changes, we believe the reality changes as well.

there is 2 reality. one that is happening and the other is what we think/fed/taught is happening.

How can the thing that is not happening be reality?
