Introductions are in order I suppose...

My real name is of no relevance, if you want you can call me whatever you like. Not that that isn't in quotations, as it would probably get tiring to type in 'hey whatever you like how's it going'.

My interest for joining these boards was mainly one of curiosity... I see there are lots of these 'paranormal investigator' types here, I can gladly say I'm not one. I'm mainly involved with... erm... reality than fiction (no offence, honestly). My profession isn't that of a scientists but I like to think of myself as one.

BTW I see a lot of these topics about outer-space and our exploration of it (and it's supposed connection to the... 'secret societies' that 'control the world'.)

I don't believe the government is even nearly intelligent enough to take control of a state, let alone a whole country, never mind the whole world.

I don't believe there is a single organisation that is powerful enough to destroy the human race. I DO believe that we are on a steady downhill in terms of making ourselves survive.

In my opinion, the biggest conspiracies are the conspiracies themselves. The conspirators may have good intentions, but all this talk of 'being awakened' is non sense. The government may be out to get you, or they may not be. There is no way to tell, and all this speculation is only hurting your own psyche. How do you know that the government wants you to think that they are much more powerful than they really are? I mean, wouldn't that make sense to you, if you were in a position of power, would you not want your 'minions' (for lack of a better word) to think you have the power to control their whole lives?

Don't get me wrong though, I'm thoroughly disgusted with the MSM and TPTB (see, I already have the lingo down ). It's all garbage, certainly, but that doesn't mean they're not as susceptible to damage as you or I. I believe that everyone should get this notion out of their head that the government is all powerful and all this. They are people like you or I.... or, in some beliefs, lizards unlike you or I, but that doesn't make them any less... well, human. Lizards are susceptible to many of the same things we are.

So, that's just my introductory rant....

flame away

Hello and welcome from me.

How do you know what is really real? I mean really, real. What do you do to determine real from unreal? Do you assume that something is real because you saw it, because many people believe it, because you just know? Really. What is real anyway?

I'm all too familiar with these sorts of questions. My personal experiences with reality are... low to say the least. Yes, I engage in some activities most 'sane' people of society would consider below them. I also am a lucid dreamer (or trying to be one, anywho), I also am a meditator. Reality has no bearing on me, other than, I'm forced to be in it. Reality is what you make it, it's a perception, and thus, is subject to change, from person to person. I think this is the reason why the internet is such a wonderful, but also such a perilous place. It allows a limited connectivity between one reality to another. Your reality and mine. It's dangerous however, because as is all too evident, not only on this website but also in the MSM that realities are subject to change, unhealthy or otherwise. It can make people think that they really DO need to consume much more than they need to. This is the reason our planet (which I believe really does exist!) is running out of resources for us to use, which is why we always hunger for alternative energy.

The solution doesn't lie with perceptions though, it lies with what is really real, and what is really real can be fiction as well.

You want to know something? Of course you would, who doesn't want to know something. When you die, you don't REALLY go to heaven, or hell, or purgatory. You want to know what happens when you die?

Anything you want. There are no limits when you die. Do you want to know why? *SNIP*Warps reality, throws you into dimensions that only exist in your mind, which is as complex as the universe will allow it to be. *SNIP* If you so believe that you deserve to go to heaven, to heaven you shall go. If you believe you deserve eternal punishment, that is what you will go through. If you believe you deserve neither, neither will happen... and if you believe nothing happens after death... nothing happens.

So you tell me, what is reality?

You'll find that ATS is quite a different environment when compared to the vast majority of discussion boards on the internet. We also have one extra little caveat that you might want to familiarize yourself with around here:

Mod Note: The SUSPENSION of illicit drugs/mind altering substance topics on ATS (The experiment failed) – Please Review This Link.

It just doesn't work for us.

Enjoy your stay.
