But interesting questions. I look froward to reading others responses.
i thought you made a brilliant point that reality is a relative of truth much like magnetism and electricity are cousins.
i'll take it a step further. Truth is not bound by words, truth just IS. Truth is subject to the laws of duality like everything else in the name of balance*. Good and Bad and you are so correct it's up to the individual to understand this concept. That truth lies in everyone's heart. You are either good hearted or you are not. Environment plays a bad role at times too, if you have a kid living a harsh life and he has to do what was he has to do to survive he can have a good heart but has to do what is considered bad things to survive. Then you can have a kid brought up in the finest of the surroundings and do the most devious things but he appears good hearted to the community. And when his truth shows they act surprised. I didn't mean to go on so long but your comment intrigued me. So yes i totally agree with you saying that perception has alot to do with this.
Now i've been wondering about perception and interpretation. Perception and interpretation is an interesting thing to me. Because those are characteristics of the human brain. No other organ in our body or the universe for the matter cares about "interpretation" like the human brain does, meaning if you can interpret you my will misinterpret too. This is where i'm going. Your body is comprised of approximately 5 trillion cells. How those cells know where to go and what to do it what we mean by the Divine presence in the universe. That Divine presence is the abitilty to CREATE and RECREATE. Which is the basis of what people refer to as GOD or The ALL KNOWING.
So back to misinterpretion. The heart and lungs "know" in order to stay alive, the heart MUST pump blood back and forth thru the body. The lungs "know" they must breathe oxygen in and release carbon dioxide. We recyle elements just like the universe recyles matter. The stomach gives us hunger pains, the throat gets thristy to let us "know" we should eat and drink because if we don't eat, the heart and the rest of the body can't survive without the energy we call nutrients and water.
The point i'm making is what does the human brain need to "interpret"? The only reason we are subject to intrepretation instead of KNOWING like the rest of the universe, is we live in survival mode and not spiritual mode. Everyone doesn't want to be denied and i can't blame them really, who doesn't want it all. But instead of building a togetherness of one, we find ways to destroy each other just in the same essence of how cancer cells invade a human body.
Now this is where i'm taking this, we have allowed ourselves to be bound by words and symbols, the universe is NOT bound by "words". The universe doesn't need definitions. It defines itself. It is not left up to intrepretion. Neither should we, but i don't need to go history to tell you why we let fear, fear based in words to break one of the powerful organs in the human body. The human body. How is this possible? Lungs "KNOW" they must breathe, they don't believe it they know. Stomach "knows" it must send out hunger pains to survive, it doesn't believe it, it KNOWS it. The throat gets thristy because it "KNOWS" water is needed to survive, it doesn't say hey i believe or don't believe i need water. IT KNOWS. This does all sounds so simplistic i know. But all i'm asking is how is it that the brain "believes" when it should KNOW, just like all of the universe. We are and possess the same power as the universe. There is no separation. We come from the DIVINE PRESENCE (GOD) so we are GOD too right. Why is it that we are born from a human mother yet we don't say we are not human right? So why is it that we come from a divine presence but yet we are not that divine presence. We are in more ways then one. But we allowed ourselves to separate from the universe by words, inneundo, allegory, perception and intrepretion. When there should be no intrepretation, we should all live fulls lives. But we allow false egos and illusions to rule our conscious couple that with the desire, we full short of our truth.
Let me give you another example of intrepretation and the english language. Each word has 10 different meanings sometimes and is built to confuse. Look at law books for example judges reference these and then render their intrepretation of them. Which is why there is no truth in law. Now look at a blueprint of a bridge. The engineer knows the blueprint is sound. They show it to someone and they say i'm going to interpret that you move the beam to the other side of the bridge. The bridge would fall down.
Somethings should not be left up to the bounds of intrepretion and neither should LIFE.
For the second question. Could reality exist if people did not ?? I would have to say, No. Because reality is based on interpretation , who's interpreting ??
Reality is not about people and intrepretation, reality is about reality and reality you said is a relative of the truth.
That's why i mentioned earlier in another post that's why we have true reality and pseudo reality. True reality is you sitting there reading this, is a reality, a true reality there is no intrepretation YOU ARE READING THIS, and feel it in your soul. A Pseudo reality can and is always left up to perception and interpretation. Yet it is a reality and a truth as well. A true pseudo reality if you may.
A reality left up to intrepretation.
thanks again for your comment
*Balance meaning positive and negative charges all elements of "matter seen and unseen, much like an electrical outlet needing a 2 prong connection and look at the human body, we have artery and veins. Arteries bring oxygen to the cells of the blood when the oxygen is used up by the blood the veins bring the blood back to the heart to be pumped to the lungs and send oxygen filled blood thru arteries to give oxygen to cells to survive so when can survive as a one body unit. Have you ever seen when they show how it looks to travel thru the human body on a molecular level, it's like traveling thru space. We need to recognize that we possess energy and power beyond words and inneundo
