Another stab into the realms of twisted philosophy....

Awareness. Its scent sways from the tones of pungentness to the sweetness of honey; from the weariness of faint citrus fruit, to the bubbly aroma of freshly baked chocolate cake. Smell is an apt sense to indicate the rustling of the workings behind awareness - in the sense that it houses the same personality, that it commands a similar character: to the extreme vague, across the narrow glimspe, towards the obvious touch. And each understanding is variated from whether it is the realisation of blood to the disgust of dung. (An extra variable added when you decide that the creature you play is an imporant factor) It is perhaps, with such an analogy, that this picture of awarness can be clearly defined. Visibility within the depths of a fog perhaps, but clarity no doubt. Awareness, when approached upon a step backwards and observed from a second window, gets its bearings somewhere in the processes of scent.

In today's context, it is perhaps rather mundane to talk about illusion within reality and reality within illusion. What is real? This seemingly profound concept has be reduced into a simple pop philosophy that is coughed at with amusement at many, from the layman to the scholars. Hollywood has helped, the Matrix itself done the theme quite enough justice/injustice already, and so have new agers that give rise to 'born again skeptics' from the old institutions that have devised the ramblings of fakery. To even consider it from a serious light, isn't exactly that simple enough to do since such a bias to the concept has been construted. Yet, if all those barriers are shifted away, and all the talkery gets forced down into whispers; the concept can be brought back to its true seat of ponderment. It is a concept that is a level higher that the pop reasonings and simple twisted logic the world brings to you today... so.

Reality. Is what we make up of something, and say it to be real. It is only a reality if we are aware of it, and this depends upon:

Tangibility
The senses, the physical material, the outer embrace; all this almost make it a for-sure real thing. True, much of the pop stuff do have this factor as one posing as a trickster. That this factor 'doesn't really matter' in the feel of realness. Although its the only probable factor that can be considered to allow awareness, its the one factor that doesn't rely on any other forms of certainty besides existence itself.

Feelings
The wavelenghts are very understandable here to anyone. So I won't need to waste time on the definations. Lets make the logical and sensical a subset of this one.

Beliefs
This is perhaps the strongest factor in the play of awareness. Because certainty is already there, it allows one to agree without contest that it is real. Reality is allowed simply as such. It might not be a delusion however, but rather its an assurance brought forth by many supporting factors that the belief may cling upon.

This three, and maybe other lingering factors, circle around the awareness to tell one how 'real' the reality is.

Now, what forms of awareness are there? Besides, real and fake, do other pathways exist for awareness to exist? The extremes are seemingly already enough justice to the term as they consider the 'dreamy, surreal' to the 'cold hard, into-your-face real' situations. But are there other cases of awareness? Theres the delusion,the unreal, but still believing in so because of a need to. The need is usually something likenable to a hunger, an addiction that requires feeding. So much so, that you'll need to re-perform the ritual and continue on, along in chaos. Theres the semi-reality which you play a part in during mind games, in emotional field trips when you think about it, and although it isn't happening, its immersion is something real enough. For reality, if not considered in the light of the tangibles, and viewed from a point where its feelable, reality then, will simply not exist. Because reality, as percieved by humans, take on a grander stand, a stage where the extent allows humans to understand what reality means, and discern between that and the other escape fantasies we live in. Realites that are created by us, use a different form of awareness, just like an awareness that have ripped out all senses of what its inner workings.

Awareness and its forms form up much of the human persona, we are aware of things, and to the realities - and perhaps falsities - they are real to us.

Then, we should take a deeper stab on, into something profounder. Something called truth.



Hope only intensifies the pain. Therefore, I will not wait anymore.
Theres a greater hope to live for anyway.
