What is reality? Is it something that is perceived to be real or is it something that is real no matter what?
The question being asked here is whether reality is a function of perception and perspective or is it something that is real whether you look at it or not.
Quantum reality is a reality based on perception, based on an observer and the observed. In quantum reality the observer effects the observed and vice versa. Quantum reality has been found to hold good in the microscopic world, the matter within an atom for example but it has not yet been verified to hold good in the macroscopic world we see and experience.
The reality of the macro-scopic world that we see is based in duality. Duality is the nature of our perceived reality.
There is another reality that can potentially exist. It's called the ultimate reality and ultimate reality is a singularity. The moment just before the big bang would be an example of a singularity.
So when do these realities, namely the quantum reality, the duality based reality and the singularity manifest in our perception and why are we even bothered about these realities? Why is the nature of our world based in duality and what does it mean to experience singularity. To answer these questions, duality must be properly understood.
What is duality? Duality usually refers to pairs of opposites that coexist in a single reality. The good and the bad, the tall and the short, the sweet and the sour, peace and war all exist in the world we see. Why is duality necessary in our world and why can't the world be more singular? That is to say why can't life be always sweet, free of tensions, free of anger and resentment, free of rejection, etc. Well let's say life was more singular in nature. Let's say life was one happy and smooth journey from birth to death. No ups and downs, no crisis, no pressing problems, etc. That is to say life was one happy period. How would you experience your happiness 10 years down the line? It would become mundane.
Someone asks you, how are you? You would say, "Ah.. the same old. I am happy...and it sucks". That is to say, to enjoy happiness, you must first know what it means to be sad and depressed. Only then will the joy of happiness be fully felt and experienced.
We all like dramas don't we. The good and bad, the happiness and sorrow all in one big drama.
Life and dramas have many things in common including their basis in duality. Life has also been described by many as a magnificent and never-ending drama. Only that, you are a part of that drama along with your co-actors that include your family, friends and others you interact with during your life.
So that sort of gives a hypothesis on the need for duality in our present reality. Now moving on to ultimate reality. What is it and what does it look like?
