No thing is separate from reality.

And by that word, I mean it in its ultimate form.


And when we perceive, is it always reality? Or no?

Would that mean there is something that exists that isn't real?

Does everything perceived exist?

How else do we know something exists? Are existence proofs sufficient? Sometimes, I would say.

What is perceived at the least has a minimal amount of realness.

But what about a schizophrenic...do those midget clowns in the closet exist / are they real? Good question.

I know it's probably a silly position to take but I think so. I'm open for other points of view though.

So everything that can be perceived exists at least in some "minimal" sense. Interesting.

Can something exist that is impossible for any mind ever to conceive?

I'm not really well versed in what "any mind" is capable of... So I don't know for sure.

I imagine certain alien minds are different significantly.
