Realities

Realities......

We know that we exist, Everything exists,

but!

What's the Reality of this existence? Can we define this Reality? What's the ultimate Reality at all? Are we meant to discover this Reality? Is there even a Reality? And if yes, then why?

Our mind is the creator of these curious questions but do these even have any definite answers or not? I think every question that exists has an answer. In fact, my one view to see Universe is that Everything which exists, is in the form of questions with their answers. More simply, a thing(Anything/everything) that exists is just a set of "A question with its answer" and nothing else.

Other than this view, I sometimes feel that the Universe behaves like a living being rather than just a lifeless container holding everything. It can think & analyze, It hears, understands and yes! It responds too, if you're able enough to get Its signs, I call it "Universe's intelligence". These are my ways to see and define this Universe around me. But these all are merely some stupid beliefs of mine which aren't much convincing. Are they?

We all can have different beliefs like this, and I think, we all should have such beliefs, because it's necessary for everyone to have very own picture of Universe and Its Reality. It can help you to make a better sense of what you observe living in the Universe, hence beautifying this world more for you. And who knows, you may be portraying the actual picture of the Reality of Universe in your mind(If we're somehow meant to discover this Reality).

Well, Different people have different ways to look for different Realities. Some try to seek Reality at deeper levels. These people try to find meaning of things like life and death, emotions and feelings, pains and sufferings, joys and amuse; more briefly, understanding the truth of Life and Its parts. Some suggest it can be understood through pure meditation or yoga, concentrating yourself and realising the Universe's great nothingness, and reaching a supreme state of existence called Nirvana/Moksha described in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism. This Nirvana state can be for anyone or anything, even the Universe itself can achieve a state of superiority at some time in future, only if It is trying for this. It would be interesting to see what happens then(It may get rid of the continuous cycle of creation and destruction and may achieve a higher version/state, in case this loop of creation-destruction is Its Reality).

Some people seek Reality by observing the Universe as whole, watching at the infinite sky, which makes us feel small, even insignificant, because when we start considering about things at universal level, we feel that we don't mean anything at all. Who are we actually? A very primitive species on a hostile rock circling a very modest star in this infinitely large Universe having trillions of such stars, already on the verge of extinction due to our actions, and where science is denied over philosophy, yet people like being online more than reading religious scriptures and philosophy. I think we're confused in our beliefs, or our social structure is too poor. Well, these things are bad for people who dreams about living in advanced societies like in science-fiction literature. Anyways, Keep hopes, try to make sense of the Universe, and you will realise that there are things more important than normal daily works which are of no sense actually.

At bigger levels, Reality may include some most fundamental questions about "Mystery of Origin" of Everything like why there is "Something" and not just "Nothing".

Maybe there are "Hyperbeings" living outside this full concept of Universes. They may have their mysteries of origin, and they may have evolved enough and found all the answers, and we're just a thought popping inside a hyperbeing's brain or they've created this Everything artificially. Or Everything is just a beautiful dream of any hyperchild which is sleeping yet on its bed. Or the Universe is Someone's undying hope. Or the truth is that there's a God, the Creator. Or Reality is too weird that It surpasses our capacity to think, and we'd get extinct without revealing It. Or Everything is just Someone's illusion.

Everything can be a continuous series of events, determined by possible outcomes of last events or maybe Universe follows Determinism, and our decisions aren't really ours but Something else's. Or some advanced alien civilization in our Universe may have found the Reality already.

Or things aren't as complex as we're considering.

Or we are restricted to discover the Reality.

We're humans, a great civilization. Our brilliance is in the fact that we've progressed a lot since the dawn of mankind from apes, and our machines (Voyager 1-2) are now travelling in Interstellar space. Our future is unpredictable yet alterable, and holds opportunities for us to be the masters of our realm. I want to live forever to see where Everything ends although I couldn't see the beginning. I'd like to be a ghost after death or a "Starchild" like in Space Odyssey series by Arthur C. Clarke, who wanders freely between galaxies; but again… it's just a stupid hope of mine.

I also believe that instead of looking for Reality, we can also create our Reality. We can shape this Universe as we want, in our mere eyes. The world behaves as we want it to behave. We're the actual creators of our Reality. Reality is continuously being created by time within us. Without us, Universe doesn't means anything. It is here, because we're here to observe It, to appreciate It. Although we're bound by our physical and technical limitations, but we are free in our minds and can create, see and live the Universe of our dreams in our imagination. All we can do for now is to imagine and reason, because at the end, Everything is nothing but our "perspective" only.
