I know it is a difficult topic to understand but trust me its equally difficult for me to assimilate my thoughts and write on it. Well, to start with, what we see is what we believe is truth, and our senses and brain refrain us from accepting anything beyond that as truth, that is our perceptive truth. But there are things which our human mind fails to understand and then we call them our fallacies or myths, and at a gross stage a person can be termed as schizophrenic or these experiences can be termed as one's hallucinations. Here friends, that's our perceptive truth; we don't believe,and don't even want to believe, the things we don't see. Without giving it a thought, that for the person who is experiencing it is the "truth", his perceptive truth. The person who is schizophrenic, is seeing actual people (at least according to him) around him, is leading another life which is beyond a normal (so-called) person's understanding, so is a "disorder" for him. May be a person who is schizophrenic or hallucinating is actually seeing a distant world away from commoner's eyes. May be it is not his disorder but our disability to see what his eyes can see. What is real for him, his perceptive truth, is unreal for us because our senses can't perceive it. Our demarcation of truth and fallacies is very superficial like our lives are. We can believe in God, whom we haven't seen and yet believe in him and on top of that, we rebuke a person who doesn't believe in him. On the contrary, we rebuke a person who is hallucinating, at least he is believing the things he can see, what if a commoner can't see it and society hasn't accepted it.
So, just because something is perceived through mind and senses doesn't mean its real, the truth. One's truth can be different from the truths of others. For instance, an urban person would see a technological device as something scientific , that is his truth as he has studied it and accepted it. Whereas a rural person might consider it some divine power or magic as his mind and senses have not accepted science but divinity as his Truth. So here we see, even Truth is not constant it varies from person to person, religion to religion and civilization to civilization. At times even our truths are not our own. Take for example, people are scared of ghosts, well knowing that they do not exist, but its their truth as their minds have accepted it to be there. But in reality its not the ghost they are scared of, it is the darkness and loneliness that one is scared of. We don't even know what we believe truth is, so how could we claim our right to define what truth is. Same can be implied to real and unreal, reality and fantasy & also good and bad. There are times when we see a dream and it seems as if its real and we have lived it but our rational mind shuns it as unreal and "oh, just a dream!". May be that wasn't a dream but some astral experience or something far more complex to be explained by our human-mind. Even real and virtual has a thin line. There are times, when we tell a lie hundred times and start believing it and living it, (try thinking about such experiences, its natural and happens with most of the people if not everyone) there the thin line between real and virtual or unreal is dissolved. As we say - Its just in our mind!!
I could not think of a good ending to this topic as now I am confused between what is a beginning and an ending, a beginning could also be an ending and an ending can also be a beginning. phewww....
