IN-PERSON: "What is Real?"
Details
What is real?
If I look around me, how do I determine what is real?
If I look inwardly, what is real?
Where do you draw the line between what is real and what is not real?
What are the implications for, the significance of "what is real"?
What is your point of reference for determining what is real and what is not?
We define a paradigm possibly with a perimeter within which is real for me.
Is there another paradigm for all humanity?
Where do the two intersect?
How else might a paradigm be described?
“The self is located, intuitively, within. Finding the self could therefore be described as going within. When you recognize that your hunger won't be satisfied by even the highest external games (for example, the meta games of art, science and religion), then the only possibility for satisfaction lies within … the game of discovering what you truly are.
Going within expands the view. But since the view is not the viewer, going within expands the view of what you're not. This is what Richard Rose termed retreating from untruth about what you are. It's a journey of disillusionment.” -Art Ticknor
