well, as soon as you realized you're right here in Earth, taking in breathe and fulfilling your mission to accomplish with "imaginarysociety", there you go!!! Reality exists! If not, then images in that website wont exist! LOL!!!!!!! Nice way of ad, though!!!!

Reality is truly self created, perception is all. THis is a very commonly accepted principle and one argued against by those who are certain that God created the only true reality. In any case read http://www.redshift.com/~beyond/real1010.html lays it all out nicely with resources for further study. Your son's OCD is in no way a result of your belief in self-created reality, as another poster inferred. Take care.

Wow:  Thanks for the info about the DNA.  For those readers that wondered how the world comes into being without God creating what He alone is able and willing, such info as the DNA, let alone the rest of the whole complex of Created mass and masterpieces, it rests on this issue.  You see, you think, and you understand.  OR you see, and refuse to see, you think and you refuse to think, and you refuse to understand.  Part of that matter of Free choice.  The simple fact is, what you choose to believe is also part of the gift you were given in Creation.  You believe or not, and amazing, it gives you a part in the rest of the community.  There are adequate numbers of unbelievers, that will all affirm your faithlessness, just as there are adequate numbers of believers who will affirm your believe in pagan cult, just as there are adequate numbers of believers in Islam, or Christianity or any other form religion.  Numbers however, doesnt affirm factuallity.  Flat world theorists believe it.  Round world hanging in space believe it.  Sun circling the earth believers affirm it, as do earth circling the sun believers affirm their bit of observation.  \n   Did Noach go searching for the animals?  No, the Text says, according to Moses, affirming that GOd instructed him to write, that God caused the animals to come to the ark.  Noachs job was to build it and stock it with grain and grass, as all the animals would eat vegetarian while aboard, including Noach and family.  Is that possible?  Depends on how you view and believe.  Impossible for those who refuse to believe that GOD was involved.  Possible for those that choose to believe in such miracle process or natural process.   It is all amazing, no matter what you believe.  If you believe God created, thats amazing.  From my point of view thats acceptable.  What would be more amazing is to try to figure out how all this world in all its complexity came into being without a Creator God, since it is obviously more complex than any human can contrive.  Heck,,,we cant even create a blade of grass from nothing, let alone a human eye..or the rest of a human being.\n   The story of the group of scientists who were all working on a grand assignment, to duplicate life...and one day they all agreed, they had done it.  Accomplished the grand impossible,  they had developed a life form in a petri dish.   Eureka they shouted...we did it.  We dont need GOD any more.   THEN GOD SAID :  Now, try it without anything:  No dirt, no fire, no water, no air and no petri dish.

Naw, I think it should be in the fantasy/sci-fi section. Come on, have you read the thing?How alternate reality can you get?

Our thought are information and dependent on the physical reality of brain. You can not project your thoughts beyond the confines of your brain, unless they are piggy-backed on a transfer wave, such as the intelligence of radio waves is piggy-backed on carrier waves; all physical. You are confused, because instead of getting a proper education in these matters, you wish to believe some form of " alternative " explanation to reality.

Ichi THAT is BRILLIANT......I know that in the tangential thinking that often bests me 'thinkos are the weakest links, perhaps the 'savants' of my mind and truly the innocents. Perhaps they are what saves my butt altogether.\nAbsolutely Brill!!!! I am going to ask if I may have permission to use this in my writing for in my speaking & writing i have for the first time just spoken it aloud...thank for the new concept on somethng I have been doing, another thing to obssess on, fair play to you mate, brain food doesnt often ome through the screen like this. and it just did.\nNow does this include the frontal and temporal lobes? Will Kirlean Photograhy show this in action? Or is it a different part of the brain where the lost socks of our lives go to?\nTHIS is a cool quesion. I now possess a new word..and it is awesome..."THINKOS"..now THAT is HOT!!!

So Ella getting her "gift" from the fairy (it's been awhile since I've read it--don't remember her name....Lucinda, maybe?) and having to live with such a gift is purely fictional. But something that could actually happen in reality would be something like falling in love with a guy you couldn't have, or getting a stopmother + mean stepsisters, etc.\n\nBasically just say what sort of things are totally fictional, and which could happen in real life.

Buddy, your query holds weight in all of its concern, yet to monotonous these days to my knowledge. Since I have soothed such a query in past, I am withdrawn to another fabrication. Yet my previous answers weaved in a way can subside your curiosity as well. Consume a chunk of your time reading it. It may also answer your other questions: -\n\nThe concept holds itself in such an abstruse enigma, that centuries have failed to decipher its existence in a logical form. Scores of fiction writers have sculpted sci-fi books upon the behavior of time. We all have speculated over the so-called ‘Time Travel’ and have rummaged over the numerous possibilities that it may offer.\n\nFor the sweet sake of knowledge, once in a while, just sit down and think over the existence of time. When one questions ‘What is life?’ one is indirectly doubting his flow in time. Sometimes, time bears mercy upon you and hastens up, yet at other times, bestows upon you the curse of its viscous flow.\n\nYet, in reality what WE call time, is nothing but a theoretical fabrication that we, humans have crafted so as to better understand this “Fourth Dimension”. We assume we recognize time and its workings, yet mark my letters, we know absolutely N-O-T-H-I-N-G. We mortals imprint everything that we perceive in our brain, and then we analyze over it, yet never in its crude form. We find ourselves confined to the rigid boundaries of our senses. We bear to our knowledge the sphere of our vision and touch.\n\nThe notion bears itself in utmost simplicity. We can only conclude on matters we are able perceive in a correct mannerism. We do not bear such a sense organ nor are we able to implement over 4% of our brain, so as to perceive the concept of time in a proper ideology. Therefore we cannot chisel a concept concrete enough to bear the yoke of our questions.\n \nWe foolish mortals don’t even have the ability to measure time in its proper state. The state of time is always subjected to our memory, thoughts, personality, the circumstances, and innumerable other factors. You can’t even correspond two events in the same mannerism! Fragments from your memory are always erased, resulting to the unjustifiable way in which we perceive time.\n\nYet we can ALWAYS speculate! And we HAVE speculated! In such speculations, we have come to many ways to understand time. Scientists were entangled in similar doubts, yet they fashioned a theory that best satisfied the debatable world of ‘Philosophical Physics’. The theory states that time is completely relative to the individual who experiences it and furthermore a relationship exists between the three basic dimensions of space and time, leading to the birth of the space-time ideology. (I swear they stole the idea from me!)\n\nAnother speculation (Fasten your seatbelts for a Psycho Ride!). Suppose time is a fabric. (A complete supposition) A vast expanse of infinite non-molecular material. This fabric is existent yet not perceivable by our limited senses. If we are to possess a way to make a ‘cut’ in this fabric, we CAN gain access to two different periods in time. But then again, that is theoretical, and humanly impossible. \n\nSo far we have considered time to be a concept in whose relation we all exist. But in technical truth, time is relative to every individual! What we consider time is the manufacture of us mortals. What if time exists independently for everyone? When one perishes, he actually repeats his so called 'life'. Perhaps the period from the Big Bang to the collapse of the universe has repeated itself millions of times already! There is no telling, for there is no concrete platform, to which we can relate existence. We just have to relate everything to everything else!\n\n Now those are speculations. No one can state them correct or incorrect, for one does not bear a perception that great. Perhaps we are just the play-stuff of a superior colossal existence. Then again, what is existence?

Well that's a good question.  I think so!  There are many things that are real, we don't have to always understand how it works for it to be real!

Like communism, it sounds great IN THEORY. However, there is the small detail of how could anyone convince people that the things that they've held in such high regard their entire lives to be false. And keep in mind these aren't just theories about what COULD be to them, they are FACTS. Like gravity or mathematics, for some people belief in some higher being is just as constant and valid. But if you can think of a way for it to happen, I'm right with ya.

This site has a lot of info on it: http://www.pooterland.com/index2/looking_glass/open_mind/open_mind.html

Sure. Where is your mind located? \n\nI know we can read electrical brainwave activity as well as use a variety of machines to detect chemical changes in the brain, but when you think a thought (such as a day at the beach) where is that image in your mind actually located?\n\nThe most recent scientific theories treat such notions as simply "ghosts in the machine", arguments that are secondary to the electro-chemical function of the brain. I disagree.\n\nThe only way to prove a thought exists is (currently) in the eye of the beholder. To everyone else (in spite of our machines) it does not exist.\n\nIf our everyday thoughts are non-locational, yet exist then we have a very personal and immediate proof of the non-location nature (matrix nature) of the universe.\n\nLife is a dream. Our bodies are an illusion, only our thoughts and awareness are real.

I love unicorns myself and they were and are still real. They are part of a lower level of beings. We might never see it because we are in the middle level of reality. Sylvia Brown explains it a hell of a lot better than I do. Get or check-out her book, Mysteries of the Unknown. It has the explaination in there along with a lot of other things

Since the question is relative to whether it is good or not:\nYes, it is.\nWould you like us to work it out as well? I appreciate that it must come right out of a quesiton from, perhaps, your homework? Otherwise, why the last sentence? "One hint is that it is related to chapter- 'CIRCLES'" Can you attach that entire chapter for us as well?\n\nThanks!

Ah, the wonders of proving reality to a disbeliever!\nFirst, I want you to visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_special_relativity , and try to teach yourself whatever they're talking about, okay? \nNext, I know this is unprovable, but I have my own distinct thoughts and imaginations and feelings and beliefs, and if nothing else, can assure you that I am, in fact, quite real.\nFind that page yet? Good. Do you understand the math? If so, kudos, go on to the main Special Relativity or General Relativity pages. If not, do you see where I'm heading with this?\nThis world we live in, grass and garbage and math and all, is much too complex for you to dream! The human mind is capable of miraculous things - but it can hardly invent hundreds of thousands of sciences and religions and people, and keep them all straight, and create histories and backgrounds and politics for each.

I also could not find anything on the web. try buying the book, or borrowing it from your local library, and getting the information you need direct from the source: The Science of Correct Thinking - Logic.
