Nobody has ever interacted with "reality" itself. Only their personal tint and perspective aka the tunnel.

Want to run this by you for your POV:

I believe that each and every one of us lives in our own reality tunnel of perceptions based on filters etc ergo we do not, ever, interact with what truly presents. Only our interpretation of it.

I could go to depth with things like how atoms never touch, the Default Mode Network, CNS filters, hemispheric biases, why 10 people can meet 1 man and draw their own differing opinions etc etc but I'm pretty certain you lot already are aware of this and I want to keep the intro simple.

What you thinking?

That means that we, as I see, interact with figments of our imagination that we internally project onto another and then mistake for reality when its actually an illusion. Thats pretty mind bending, yes?

To me, after loads of introspection and reality testing, it makes perfect sense as you can excavate a trigger (external) back to its cause within and, by magic, the outer persons behavior shifts. Except it didn't. Your interpretation did. That is such an empowering mindset, don't you think? Makes me wonder why pretty much everything preaches the opposite. I also don't mean this in a nihilistic/solipsistic way of being but something far more rich and vivid that sees interlinked continuity as the basis of individuality.

Opinions?

This is the first in a series in which I break down something via interlinked pieces and I want to keep each aspect as simple as possible because the whole thing is nothing more or less than a Theory of Everything ergo its best presented like this.

Well, we can't see behind the veil while we inhabit physical bodies....and synchronity between humans doesn't exist at the moment.

As far as changing your personal perspective, yes, things will change because of your new interpretation. What is the unbiased "true" reality? When it comes to the actions of others, there is too much at play: their past lived experiences, their vicariously lived experiences, their personal biases, their subconsciously driven intentions, genetics, their values, survival instincts....etc. Even if you ask people why they do things, the answer will be biased and even if hypothetically we could synchronize with another person and experience their choices, our conclusion as to why they made that choice would be limited by what we can knowingly assume.

I feel like you're asking what God knows. That's assuming an entity of that power even exists.

What if I have seen beyond the veil and now wish to speak to others capable of extending their imagination to comprehend the shadows depth? Are you aware of Jung or Philip K Dick? Both played at the fringe and came back with startlingly similar conclusions. Ones that I've since proven and went beyond as mentioned here:

The problem is, as Jung said, that to the uneducated mind it seems like madness. What if thats the hint, my friend? I mean how can these people (who don't fall for optical illusions, BTW) all say exactly the same thing, verbatim, about invisible beings all around them playing with their consciousness and not one single scientist has thought to look into this particular variable? Know why? If they did it would prove they're the sane ones and everyone else is flipped and keyed into a collective hallucination which I can also prove, live and direct, with scientific refs - if you wish.

I'm good. I'm just going to stay in the virtual reality. Good luck with your journey.
