and speaking about the reality as it is how is it you think about something or you experience something in your life and you make a thought about it I mean you come to the point that you create a thought in your mind which you don't know if it's real or it's not real that you don't really you can't find the reality hmm
Well, reality is what it is.
If it's arisen in your mind, then from my point of view, it's real.
And I'm pretty sure that's what the Buddha taught.
Think about what's going on in your mind when you ask this question, when you grapple with the idea of reality.
There's no definition.
There's no train of thought that could arise to give you the definition of reality.
It makes no sense to even hypothesize about what is and what is not real, apart from what has arisen.
So if it has arisen, it is real.
So if a thought arises in your mind, then to the extent that it has arisen, then to that extent it's real.
Other than that, it really... I think it's sophism.
It's irrational to talk about this being real or that being real.
Either that or it's just using logic and reason like how materialists
point out that you can see things, so therefore they must exist.
Of course, quantum physics and modern physics has blown that out of the water.
Some theories have.
The experiences are made by mind, produced by mind, and led by mind, produced by mind, and perceived by mind.
Right.
Okay, so...
So if you imagine something and you really believe in it, that becomes something that actually happens.
Yeah, but not maybe in the sense that you're thinking.
It just means that they come in that sequence.
It doesn't make them any less real just because the mind was the instigator or the mind allowed the experience to arise.
