What is reality?
A man only becomes real and intelligent enough to understand himself and society around him when he understands reality in itself, which he does through understanding his surroundings and portraying that as his reality. A person lives in a dome of his own world which consists of his social, financial, ecological, and philosophical understanding, which he then calls reality. And those who do not go searching for their own explanation are foolish and just a single sheep in a herd of billions who only intake the information provided through their surroundings. They do not study their surroundings or examine society, but what they do is only use a certain part of intelligence to be used as a cell to carry on information provided by institutions, governments, committees, social groups, teachers, professors, etc.
Everyone is trying to understand reality at the same time through somehow the same methods, by practically the same resources, the same type of conversations—they seek for a meaning behind everything that happens and meaning in what people say. But do they really understand the meaning? What will happen if they do understand the meaning of everything?
So I made a model. The model has 4 layers, and they are A, B, C, and D—A being at the bottom of the pyramid and D being at the top. All four layers of the model are connected; they coexist with each other.
Layer A is objective reality, which consists of the language we use from math, physics, and chemistry. This is where all the equational reality of all proved physics, chemistry, and math comes together, which we don't specifically feel, see, or touch, but we exist in. This also states impractical theories which might be true or false but can exist, such as science saying that there are more than 3 dimensions and more than 1 dimension of time.
Do we feel and experience these theories? No, we don't, and this is where layer B starts, which is perceptual reality. So layer A is the source of information; it is from where we get the information. Layer B is raw input. It is through our 5 senses, which are touch, hearing, smell, taste, and sight. This is where human engagement begins. This layer of reality is neuroscience and psychology. But this is also limited as there is a limit to what grade, what level, or till what point we can take input of information. This is how stimulus is inputted. This is where simulation, creation, and these types of myths exist. This all explains what you can perceive. This is functional reality in which you experience and live and eat, drink, excrete—this is the functional reality of your perception which you understand for your survival. Our 5 senses do not take reality in itself; what they take is a representation of reality.
This perceptual reality is cognitively overwhelming. Because of this, if we go to absorb information from only perception, it is going to be very overwhelming. The Human mind adds another filter to it beyond just sense and perception to understand reality. This filter is the filter of orientation. This filter is what allows you to take the raw data and make sense of it. To exist in reality, we need story to make logic of the raw data. You live due to micro associations you have with the raw data you are provided and at a large scale of these it micro associations with raw data it slowly starts to become a story of your own life from which you analyse previous inputs outputs results and reactants and then act upon them to make a reality. When orientation is given reality makes sense through the story, history, narrative, orientation and value judgement which is used to filter the raw data. And this is layer C which is Subjective reality where you live. This is at the level in which you have perspective in reality. This is where there is a value filter on your raw data gathered from layer B of reality which we previously understood which is perceptual reality. It is what you focus towards that determines your perspective if you change the importance in your equation from which you shift your focus and importance from subject A to subject B the whole equation of your reality changes because of your value filter which is now changed due to you shift in the perception of importance, love, focus or whatever it might be. And this is the theory of infinite perspectives. Level C is where all stories exist exist and because all stories exist here all perspectives, all advice, all self help and all of spirituality exists here. And this is where we all exist and this is what the Hindus call MAYA and the Buddhists call nothingness in which if you see reality for reality the you realise that the reality in which you live in is emptiness. And this teaches us to leave alter and change our reality if we want ultimate bliss this is the perspective of meditative reality. This allows you to construct yourself in this society and build an individual.
Layer D is consensual Reality. Well everyone has their own subjective reality because of there different value filter and story and judgemental filter. This is where 2 or more people agree to a dominant reality by value and facts between different reality of different people. There is a constant process of negotiation between the subjectivity of each other and we come to a point of inter subjectivity or what I like to call it is consensual reality. And it is at this level that we act. All actions emerge from here. This is where all the facts the values the judgements the benefits the losses compare from each reality to another and one reality comes to be most dominant which is then mass accepted for example the election o President Donald Trump for America. This is what happens with markets, this is what happens with advertisements, this is where money moves, this is where attention moves & this is where power moves. We come to a consensus in our subjectivity and we decide that this is the reality that we agree upon and it is at this level that we behave act and perform. This is where the political ideologies, media ideologies & religious ideologies exist. This is the matrix, this is where all the red pill content and metaphors originate from which is largely popularized by Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, Luke Belmar, Iman Ghadzii and etc. This shows people to be aware of the consensual reality that people are acting upon and view or share different consensual realities.
Now for understanding the 4 layers, you have to understand what level of reality you are on and what level of reality are the objects or subjects you interact with are on.
Everyone is essentially living in their own level C reality and when we interact with people we direct ourselves from our reality C to level D through negotiation and consensus. Self help seeks to take you from B to C. Self help is what tells you to breakdown you current perception of reality which is level C and takes you back to level B of objective reality to have a different way of organizing and using your raw data to build a different level C reality. This gives us a new value filter, a new chain of reasons, a new story & a new orientation to act upon. Then there is meditative spirituality, meditative spirituality says that you stop all of the work from Level B to organize your given data and stay in a level of no thought and stay in that position till you completely understand your current level C reality which takes you back to level B. But then there is max spirituality where there is no evidence or no experience in which you believe in and then get to experience and this spirituality has a purpose of playing with you insecurities and fantasies and give you one moral code to take you from level C to level D. This is where people get lured into believing that everyone has the same goal of eternal bliss but does not take into account the meaning of eternal bliss for different people. This is where you get trapped and this is what religions do. But if done right a religion can also introduce you to your consciousness and your existence. The next one is politics and this does the same which takes you from C to D which shows flaws or perfections and gives you reasons to believe. It asks you to view society in a hierarchy of power, it basically tries to imply that society and power are mixed and exist together in a specific way. Then there is psychology and neuroscience take you from A to B. This talks about raw perceptual data of what was the input and what was the output to the input. Trauma does something similar which is to take you from C to B and now you are trying to build up to C again with a new story with a new orientation filter but you cannot find one. This effects people as they do not have a subjective reality which also pauses their interaction with consensual reality and that is the reason why people also feel depressed and out of place. And there is philosophy, philosophy is just the language used to describe the whole model in their own way which makes it easier for other people to understand.
