The Only Place
Reality is defined
Is in the dictionary
Reality
1 : the quality or state of being real
Fantastic
Now, what is “real”
Real
1a : having objective independent existence
Great, what is objective independent existence ?
Objective
1 a : expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations
Independent
1 (a) 1 : not subject to control by others
Existence
1 a : the state or fact of having being especially independently of human consciousness and as contrasted with nonexistence
Definitions from m-w.com
And yet, “reality” does not exist without a consciousness, human or otherwise, to manufacture reality to be perceived simultaneously, objectively, and subjectively.
Still, if one lives within those parameters in a solipsistic perception, then all bets are off.
Making reality what you make it, since you are solely soul-ly in absolute control of the reality experienced. Good, bad, orgasmic, or indifference. Willfully turning stored energy into kinetic energy.
Doubt and belief then ought to be considered both sides of the same coin. Constantly flipping reality at any, and at all time to question when it temporarily lands as to best understand where it is in each moment, its quality or state of being real.
“Reality is how we swim, not how we win.”

I’ve heard that Sanity is defined as being congruent with reality. The further away you are from actual reality, the more insane you are. Makes sense.
So those who want to make up a reality to be congruent with are hedging their bets. 😉
I really like what you say about doubt and belief being the two sides of the coin. That makes me think! Very wise.

Thanks for reading and your kind comments. I may have to post this as a blog post.
Sanity
It is my best understanding, or vaguest perception, that we / everything is all connected, interconnected. Utilizing the concept of the “Matrix.” Both the movie, and also the definition.
“matrix
1 : something within or from which something else originates,
develops, or takes form”

Even though bums and billionaires exist, coexist (though not really), both are still part of a “shared” reality. That methinks we collectively “make-up” in order to play along.
As “our” technology and telescopes dig deeper into the cosmos, searching for essentially “our” “selves”, most either cling to or abandon their religious dogma, ignoring what is in front of them anyway that it is all connected. There is no place / time that it is not.
Both sides are searching for the holy grail of proof. The elusive and never even possible * “big bang” origins, or when, where, why God * created (what has always been), scratch that. What always is, just merely changes shape.
Constantly, though invisible to the naked eye, interchanging between waves and particles and vice-versa.
Knock on wood, whereas without an agreed to collective agreement that there is “wood” or the ability to “tap” on it, to both generate a sound and a physical sensation, there is also, the “purpose” of knocking on wood, for the sake thereof. Of whatever we have momentarily “agreed”, to that it should be.
* Big bang or creation, wouldn’t it be wild and a lot more evolutionary to just accept that existence exists always, all ways. That the miracle of our own individual subjective perspective of the unknown whole is so incredibly fucking awesome, we never take any moment for granted. Ever.
This is not my alleged wisdom. It is from my teachers as follows.
“All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”
Bill Hicks
“I think we’re part of a greater wisdom than we’ll ever understand, a higher order.
Call it what you want. You know what I call it? The Big Electron.
The Big Electron.
Woooohhhh, woooohhhh, woooohhhh.
It doesn’t punish.
it doesn’t reward.
it doesn’t judge at all.
It just is.
And so are we,
for a little while.”

Brilliance! And so much to wake up to. Isn’t it amazing how even our thoughts morph from one ‘sacred cow’ idea to the next? Beliefs thought to be unchangeable until a better one comes along?
If we could think (like you do) in multiple dimensions, understanding the holographic nature of existence, we’d probably be a lot happier. Wiser and funnier too!
