Everybody has their own reality of what life is and gets an outcome from it.
Reality is a fricking brick wall that you can't walk through. You can bow and if not it will knock you in the head. If you are born with aids because your parents were junkies, tough luck. If you are twenty five years of age, just starting out with your own appartment bought with your fiancee, new job, fresh from university, you get cancer. It happens. The atoms of reality that comprise our bodies have been here ever since the beginning of the universe and go back to the first mover. There is no "Karma" or any of that shit that rewards the good and punishes the wicked. The universe doesn't care about human standards of ethics or our epistemological notions of reality.
The universe offers the laws of nature that we cannot change - only relate ourselves to. The universe offers the building bricks, the atoms, that we can arrange in accordance to our preferences if we sufficiently understand them. With enough knowledge, we might be able to cure cancer, not by "believing it away." Studying the laws of nature allows us to predict the consequences of our actions, allows us to manipulate matter and shape it to our preferences. This is how we BUILD reality. Through knowledge and the application of that knowledge. Knowledge is power. We can do whatever we choose with that power, whether that is good or evil. The universe won't stop us. 1+1=2. A fact is a fact. How we perceive that fact will not change that fact. How we choose to interact with it, might.
People who reason like you do, that we all live in our own bubble of reality, also believe that if I help an old granny cross a dangerous street I have a higher chance of winning the lottery, or that if I steal money from my friends and family I will eventually have an anvil falling on my head to settle the scales and distribute some form of cosmic justice. We are truly delivered to the loneliness of the universe, and the act of facing this, is the essence of human greatness. No matter how much we change our perspectives, apples will still fall to the earth. Perhaps the angle in which I see it happening will change, but the trajectory of the object itself will always be what it is.
Just had to say it, you wrote out that huge post... and you didn't even understand what he was saying.
There is a reason a simple sentence can hold enough value to destroy your paragraphs. Yes there is a physical reality, it exists the color of your car, the color of an apple, the weight of your shoe, but there is also perceived reality, such as I'm not attractive, girls don't want me, I'm not alpha, this is alpha. These are our beliefs, what we believe in and what we don't, what we think is possible, and what we think is impossible. You form a belief of what something is, that doesn't make it true, you simply interpreted that. This reality is the reality he is referring to, next time before getting all crazy with your long statement you may want to actually listen to what the man is saying.
Peace and Love,
Vic
