What is R-E-A-L? There is all Illusion? what is the truth?
Existence and Consciousness or only consciousness
This topic is hot talks in-philosophers, scientists, and researchers, from sanctuaries; is all the thing made up of one Matter or there is only Consciousness ?….. all other things are just an illusion! In this universe all we the things made-up by the matter and consciousness and we called it Dualism. At the other side there is; all the things made of consciousness and there is no matter, is called Monism. But, no one could able to provide scientific explanation to solve this fundamental problem based on all physical existence, including human life. But- some of the religious ancient scripture and teaching provide solution to some extend to this problem. Still there is need of proper scientific prove and explanation.
When we thoroughly go through the concept of Monism- there is only consciousness, no matter and no other thing exist! All other things are merely illusion. But the question still remains the same: if there is only consciousness then all we see, feel, taste, and going around us is just an ‘illusion’? It feels very real, but it is just illusion…? Well; there is no distinction between God and world, matter and consciousness. Then what is real? Reality is without existence of body, time and law of physics!
Is seems like sci-fi novel, but there is better explanation: just like the computer program, based on combination of codes and algorithm, we have followed the proper language of program and based on right input, it would provide the correct output. But there must be a creator and operator for proper running of program! Nowadays with the help of advance AI (Artificial Intelligence) platform like Chatgpt, we can replace operator and but there should be creator? What if, creator also replace with advance AI that itself capable of creating the whole program and algorithm, collect data from internet and with the help of ML(Machine Learning), it would create a whole program, that would capable of creating whole range of similar capable program. And it doesn’t seem too impossible! For the time now it is based on prompt or command, but what happen when it could work on human-cognition and neural network sensory recognition.
Another explanation in terms of scientific study; in this universe everything made of closed packed structure of atoms and more specific quarks( smallest particle in this universe). But when we see these quarks that made up other small matter…and there is void between these quarks, so the question is if everything we feel and perceive as solid or materialistic, is really is matter? Or it is just an illusion of our mind, heavenly creating reality within ourselves, or we are in such dream of universal consciousness that everything we perceive and feel looks so real!!! Yes it is real, until the realization or liberation. If we explore more in deep, we perceive and driven by thoughts and there is zero space and time between thought and manifestation so, the idea and thought, converts it into reality and our surrounding also within our consciousness and the idea of others also relatively apply on us too.
Although, religious approach to this problem linked to solution. i.e.- Vedanta (branch of Hindu philosophical approach towards Dualism very specific and lead to realization or enlightenment. And there is other religious peoples from different religion are believed in only consciousness or monism.
But, the question remains the same- how is it possible that this all materialistic world just reflection of our consciousness? This question is very fundamental in nature and this leads us to the origin of human life and all physical existence around us. We human are very sophisticated and perfect example of creation. If we see from the perspective of science- there is only brain that is responsible for all our action and reaction. They only give importance to brain and neural science for all our thinking and action, and when the brain dead, other organs stop working in body and person will declare dead. But what drives body to emotions, feeling, love, hate, desire, hate, insecurity all of these are still mystery in science. but yes we are evolving and our science is also progressing day by day so, there we cannot say; it is impossible to explain consciousness and existence in scientific manner.
