Imagine if the world was in your hands, and everything was in your control. The

responsibility and measurements are gone from your reality. All figments of touch and coping of

the conscious are gone. Well, what if I told you that at one point that was a form of philosophy.

Consciousness

In the realm of realizing reality, the form of control and subjectification are just some

what you end up thinking of. It is something we as humans don’t comprehend on a day to day

basis? As a matter of a fact reality is expressed differently based on experience in society most

times.

What is the proper term of reality? Quite frankly the matter of defining reality is

something that can’t really be done just once. A better way would be put by the words of the

great James Glattfelder:

“The nature of consciousness, as has been suggested by ancient

Eastern and shamanic traditions, is necessarily universal and

primal;The totality of perception, including every memory, is

notoriously unreliable and misleading; Physical objects possess

 2

primary qualities such as extension in space, shape, motion, density,

number, and so on, all underpinned by the concept of material

substance. Secondary qualities such as color exist only in our minds

and therefore cannot be said to be independently existing real

qualities of physical objects.”

James Glattfelder was known as one of the great pioneers of studying the realm of

perspective and consciousness. After reading his book, “The Consciousness of Reality” it had

brought me to a vision that I began to understand. Which really confuses most people if you

don't have much experience in studying either yourself or the conscious.

Does understanding reality matter?.To many, knowing of reality really sparks up a world

of interest, but to those that are more focused on materialistic values considering knowing what

is reality could either be a chore or a bore. And really knowing how, what and understanding the

realm of consciousness can drastically change even your point of views on life itself;

Considering it changed mine.

Is reality something that’s all cut out to be in your mind, or do you wish to expand your

consciousness even further and try to understand human thought? What do you really think? Are

you even thinking or is reality playing a trick on you? The world of knowing is a form of reality
 3

that is unknown. Or are you playing the unknown to reality? Let’s just say you won’t “know”

until you know.
