Three Views of Reality

Our Understanding of Reality Is Evolving as Modern Science Learns More

  1. That which we can see, feel, touch, and hear is only the tip of the iceberg.
  2. Reality is a web of relations—fluid, co-arising, and interconnected. It’s not concrete. It’s forever morphing into something new.
  3. We don’t passively receive reality—we co-create it. We think that what we’re seeing is “out there,” when in fact, what we think is real is merely a filtered version shaped by how our nervous systems filter, interpret, and construct what we think we see.

Two things we know for certain.  Reality exists far beyond what we can detect through our senses,  and each one of us has a slightly different view of reality, based on our cultural heritage, education, religious beliefs, and religious backgrounds.
