Question: How do you know you experience the real world and not a illusion!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The person asking is propably meaning if it's possible, and if then how, to verify the existence of other object's, other than your own consciousness!. It's hard or even impossible, to doubt the existence of your own consciousnessm, but the question is if I could for example prove that the object's that i sense around me have their own independent existence, and that they are not just my mindcreation or imagination!.

In long story short you can ansewer it like this, it may not be possible!. A verification like this, like the one im writing about, would then also be a disproof on radical skepticism and the possibility on suchlike disproof is controversial among philosophers!.

How can we proof that god did not create the world just one hour ago, puting lots of people with lots of memories, fossils into the earth and footsteps in the sand and all that!. All that we know is based on other things we think we know and all our basic knowlidge is somthing we made, or is calculated by somthing we created!.


Sorry if im not using the right words, im not sure how to say it here, im from iceland, and im learning english, thou i have not mastered it!.

I have five senses all connected to my brain and working in cohesion to bring about the information required to sift through the illusion, the delusions, and the realities we live in!.
Used in conjunction with the knowledge I have earned and the common sense of the intelligence I have; I can remove any doubt about what is the real world and what is an illusion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One feels that world is real because there is continuity and unity in experiencing this world!. But even the dream can be continuous and may appear as real to the dreamer!.

When one understands that experiencer itself is unreal then the unrality of the world come to the fore!. Till such time you may say the world is real!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Counter-question: What evidence is there to confirm my conception of a possible illusion!? In other words, why should I believe the world I perceive is an illusion!? Why isn't sense experience a reliable source of knowledge!?

And optical or other sensory illusions don't count as evidence, because sense experience also tells you they are illusions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well the real world is in our minds!. There isn't real world!. The world wouldn't exist if you didn't,for you!.So All space is just a Matrix and we create the reality and change the same!. We are one atom of God and that means that God is in us and we are in God!. So we are God!. But as cells in the Universe we are responsible for our thoughts!. If we create bad thoughts and bad reality we make a sin because we harm the universe!. It is a little bit strange but it is real!. Reality depends of out acceptance of the same!. Many people change it on worse and they have collective energy to change it!. So we must start create better reality to make the Universe better place for existence!.
