Tweak says, "It's bigger on the inside"

Ink, when thinned with water, allows one to paint for days. When canvas runs out of space there are walls, a ceiling, floors. Soon delirium sets in causing one to grow dizzy and collapse, moving limbs, making pathetic angels in the black snow. Swimming within the ink until it permeates the sink and ink begins to make sense. With the body empty of energy, the mind can deciper a new sense of order in the marks. As if fading into the picture and emerging on the other side. Inside the reality of the world that the markings describe. The reality outside of the mind and the reality inside are divided by a thin reflective veil - a fearful symmetry. But both are equally real. What happens when the veil is stripped away and both realities are no longer distinguishable, but exist simultaneously?

Scars often run deeper than eyes can see.

	The reality of the mind is the same as the reality of the world. The mind creates the world, and perceives it to be as it is. Therefore, it can be argued that reality of mind and world always exist simultaneously because they can't be separated. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Bullshit. If someone punches you in the face, you still got punched in the face whether your mind told you it was just a raindrop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wrong. Because your reality told you someone got punched, doesn't mean their reality did. If they perceived it as a raindrop, then it's a raindrop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If twenty people watched it happen and they all saw a punch to the face, then there's a consensual reality there that makes the raindrop reality void. They can believe it all they want, but at the end of the bloody day, the world needs something more consistent to operate on than whatever the fuck everyone believed was happening. We all agree we're breathing air, we all agree we live on Earth, etc.

Right, twenty people agreed that in their reality someone was punched. But the person being punched doesn't need to agree, and if they don't that is their reality no matter what you and 19 others agree. Because their mind is their own and yours may not be what they believe. Yes, we live by mutually agreed upon conceptions of the world, but how people interpret them is entirely up to the individual.

individual minds, individual realities.

Everything is subjective.

Exactly. Subjective, not objective, which is what the world needs, and what most people tend to agree on to make up a general perception of right and wrong, up and down. Excluding the fact that the mind can be deceived into letting you perceive things that are not necessarily your reality, one person's reality hardly makes up the reality of the world. It's just simply how they filter and process it.

	Right. You said it yourself, everyone filters and processes it differently. Realities are different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The reality of the world is consistent, it's your mind that alters it. Makes them separate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
