Chapter 183 - Reality Lecture~~!!

The reverberation stopped, and Aryan finally took a breath of sigh. He had been listening to the sounds barking in his head since an hour. And all he could figure out from all these that he had something do with dream and illusion.

In his this life as Sen, Aryan had inherited the power of illusion reality. Making an illusion then converting it to a reality and vice versa was his power. And if used correctly, it could become a major power of the century. What he was confused about why in the world did he hear the same lecture again. And judging from the ascent, it doesn't belong to that world or era.

He was pretty sure it belonged to his old earth, where he had taken birth as Aryan. And one more question that had been killing him for a while was the repetition of the lecture.

He had heard it once while sleeping, before coming to the sage world.

"Just what message in the world do they want to convey me?!"

Amidst his deep contemplation as usual, a portal got created before him. And as usual, Aryan went near and touched it to escape that dark space of an unknown timeline.

This time upon opening his eyes, he found himself just before his cultivation star. Earlier he had noticed his star had stopped changing size, as it used to do before.

But now he noticed it has started to change shape again. But this time not from a small globe to a big planet, but rather from a strange cube to a small sphere.

"Huh!! What new phenomenon is this?!! From a cube to a sphere~~!!" 

Since his cultivation star's was small enough to grab it within his hands, he went near and took a look at it, by holding it in between his hands.

Upon touching it he got the feeling like his cultivation star was made out of some metal, which was very smooth and lustrous. "Mhm…. Feels like one of those rubric cubes to me."

Upon touching and fiddling it for a while, he got an idea and tried to turn the cube like a rubric cube.

Krach!!

Came a sound. Aryan got startled and looked around his soul sea to search for the source of that sound. While he was looking for it, he was getting a feeling like he was no longer in his soul sea anymore. 

The feeling he was getting was similar to as if he was floating in the real world. Aryan pondered over it for sometimes then dismiss his thoughts of change in reality.

Since he couldn't find out the source of that sound, he touched the cube again and try to turn it back as it was before.

Krach!!

That same sound came again from somewhere. This time Aryan didn't get startle like the first time but instead turned it anticlockwise from its surface.

Krach~~ Krach!!

This time the sound came twice.

Aryan looked around again, to observe any changes in his surroundings. But like the first time he didn't feel any change nor he could find out the source of that sound.

"Sigh~~~ My cultivation star is rubrics cube now?"

While he was muttering about it the cube got out of his grasp and levitated in the air. 

Aryan wasn't aware of it till he heard the "Krach" sound repeating and again throughout his surroundings.

Before he could do something and make an inspection of what's happening, a ray of light emerged from the cube, and fired itself towards Aryan's forehead.

Even though Aryan had a great reaction speed, this time he couldn't dodge it and let that light penetrate through his mind.

Gong!! Gong!! Gong!!

"Let the classed begin!!

Echoed an elderly sound in his mind.

Reality is all of your experiences and knowledge of the world that determine how things appear to you. The state of the world as it really is rather than as you might want it to be. 

Real is something capable of being treated as fact and something that is being or occurring in actuality and having a verified existence and substance that coincides with reality. Real is something that is Not an Illusion, Not Fantasy, Not Imaginary or a feeling of Intuition. Real is something that is no less than what is stated and worthy of a name and reflecting the essential or genuine character of something. Real is something that should not be taken lightly. Something fixed or immovable.

Consensus Reality: Is generally agreed to be reality, based on a consensus view. The appeal to consensus arises from the fact that humans do not fully understand or agree upon the nature of knowledge or ontology, often making it uncertain what is real, given the vast inconsistencies between individual subjectivities. We can, however, seek to obtain some form of consensus, with others, of what is real. We can use this consensus as a pragmatic guide, either on the assumption that it seems to approximate some kind of valid reality, or simply because it is more "practical" than perceived alternatives. Consensus reality therefore refers to the agreed-upon concepts of reality which people in the world, or a culture or group, believe are real (or treat as real), usually based upon their common experiences as they believe them to be; anyone who does not agree with these is sometimes stated to be "in effect... living in a different world." Throughout history this has also raised a social question as to the effects of a society in which all individuals do not agree upon the same reality. Children have sometimes been described or viewed as "inexperience with consensus reality," though are described as such with the expectation that their perspective will progressively form closer to the consensus reality of their society as they age.

Pragmatism rejects the idea that the function of thought is to describe, represent, or mirror reality. Instead, pragmatists consider thought an instrument or tool for prediction, problem solving and action. Pragmatists contend that most philosophical topics—such as the nature of knowledge, language, concepts, meaning, belief, and science—are all best viewed in terms of their practical uses and successes. The philosophy of pragmatism emphasizes the practical application of ideas by acting on them to actually test them in human experiences.

When we use the word reality, we are not 100 percent defining something, because nothing is 100 percent definitive, and there is no full 100 percent guarantee for complete accuracy. But in order to make things easy and less complicated, we use labels as a tool to make communication more effective and more efficient. You can still get philosophical about reality if you want, but only when it's necessary. If we want to have a mutual understanding, we need to use a universal definition that helps us communicate. We are not saying that this particular definition is definitive and that there are no other variations, because there are other variations, but we only need them for certain situations when someone has difficulty understanding, or wants to express a concern, or when new knowledge and information has been discovered that would require us to update our definition of Reality, or any other word for that matter. Having no guarantee doesn't mean that you don't have any control.

Reality is a word to describe what is, and what may happen in the future. Humans have many methods for measuring and predicting what is, and what might happen. Reality was here before humans existed, because cause and effect has been measured in fossils of life forms predating humans. Don't confuse consciousness with reality. Because just being aware does not mean that you are living in reality. And don't think that you know what reality is, because reality for humans is based on what we have learned so far about our reality. So human reality is evolving and expanding as we learn more, thus reality will never stay totally the same for humans. Though reality looks weird and unpredictable at times, we know that the more we learn about reality, the less weird reality becomes, and the more predictable reality becomes. No matter how many dimensions that you can perceive, or what time scale or size scale you use to compare things too, you are only measuring reality, you are not totally defining what reality is. Even though there are an infinite amount of possibilities, this does not stop humans from using the knowledge that we have learned so far to measure what reality is today. And when we can confirm our reality with other people, we know that everything is not just in our minds. People who are blind or deaf still have similar realities to people who can see and hear. This is because humans have other methods for measuring reality, like using touch, taste, smell and feelings, as well as having other people helping them measure reality. So everyone has the ability to learn, and thus, everyone has other ways of constructing a reality. Even though each person experiences reality differently from one person to the next, this does not change the reality of the situation. Reality is learning about what our current state is.

Aryan "…."

Only one thing was going on in his mind, 'Fck you seven!! You are dead this time!!'
