As sad as it is, it seems that this is the place to say it..
We all have different backgrounds and may use different terminology, but that is just a matter of preference and not a disagreement on the FACTS of LIFE.. and is not even a difference of opinion.. This can easily be overcome in any reasonable discussion between reasonable people.
{People are not reasonable!}
I am reasonable, are you?
Superstition, paranoia, false beliefs, DON'T WORK..
Only the TRUTH works..
Not everything you do matters, not everything you do is relevant to your life or the lives of others..
But some believe that it does.. they often believe that what they believe matters..
Well it does, but only to the extent of those things that you believe that are actually TRUE which you act according to MATTER..
Those things that you believe that are NOT TRUE and act according to, affect you and others only psychologically and only to the extent that they are believed..
This effect is NEVER GOOD, it leads only to more LIES and assumptions and paranoia and further presumptions that are FALSE.. and it just gets worse.. often leading to what is perceived as mental illness....
Not everything you do is important or matters to you and others, or affects you or others in any objective way..
There is simply LOTS of leeway when it come to TRUTH, many things that you do, just don't matter..
What matters is the TRUTH that you act according to that actually has a real and substantial impact on your life and others..
The TRUTH is best understood through analogies.. {parables}
You have a relationship with "reality", just like you have a relationship with “individuals”..
You influence them and they influence you, this is the nature of your relationship with others.
According to your understanding of the TRUTH/LIES in their minds, you can be more or less effective in predicting their reactions(consequences) of your influences..
You have the same type of relationship with reality itself..
You influence reality and reality influences you, this is the nature of your relationship..
According to your understanding of the TRUTH itself, you can be more or less effective in predicting the consequences (reactions) of your influences..
So the analogy is that in this sense, the TRUTH is like a KING, with whom everyone has a relationship, but not necessarily with each other.
Not everything you do matters, as it simply does not have a significant impact on the kingdom or the individuals in it..
But in this sense the KING has absolute authority and EVERYONE submits to the authority of the KING.
Simply because one can take on a different perspective does not change the FACTS of LIFE, no matter how much your fear and paranoia may want the FACTS of LIFE to be different then they are..
Not every person is reasonable! Are you?
Most are paranoid and fearful and superstitious and in denial and despise the FACTS of LIFE.. because they LIKE to believe that they can decide what is RIGHT and TRUE and REAL for themselves.. As apposed to being reasonable in assessing the FACTS of LIFE that quite simply (ARE NOT UP TO YOU)
Those who know and act according to the FACTS of LIFE, simply dominate those who don't..
This is why the religious ALWAYS FAIL.. they simply DO NOT RESPECT the TRUTH..
It is ONLY when they act according to the FACTS of LIFE that they succeed in accomplishing anything GOOD in this world..
And the rest simply believe that it is THEY that invent the TRUTH and succeed through the power and authority of their own will...
Learning..
You learn concepts, these concepts are symbolized by words..
Words are titles or names for concepts..
We name those concepts which we experience(perceive/conceive/realize in our minds), this forms our perception or our “conception of reality”
Our “conception of reality” is built up from various concepts..
Now our concepts are of those things which we identify as “ONE THING” but one's perception has what is called “scope”
So whatever you connect or bind as ONE THING with your various concepts of “relationships” is what defines that THING as a single “concept”
These are hierarchical in nature, concepts are made of smaller concepts.. all the way up to the concept of “EVERYTHING”
So we start with everything and divide it up in various ways, separating and distinguishing “ONE THING” from another by the relationships that exist between them..
Now relationships are also concepts.. The understanding of relationships is HOW we perceive reality. It is our understanding of various types of “relationships” that define our “conception of reality”
Relationships are mathematical in nature.. there are real and correct relationships between concepts..

There are possibly an infinite number of different TYPES of relationships that can be represented mathematically.
Consider these three boxes.. The relationships between these three concepts is represented here mathematically not as spatial or temporal or emotional relationships as we tend to think of them..
There are distinct and TRUE relationships that exist within these concepts..
Now consider another perspective.. where the symbols used have different meanings..
LIKE this
1=3
2=4
3=7
etc
Now these thee boxes have an entirely different set of relationships, the way they are currently represented..
But if one where to use the new perspective to represent it, but looked at it from the original perspective, they would see something completely irrelevant and meaningless.. and there would appear PARADOXES, because they are NOT from the same “conception of reality”..
This is the major cause of confusion.
It is the mixing of different conceptions of reality that cause erroneous conclusions and paradoxes..
There are potentially an infinite number of ways to theoretically conceive reality which would represent a complete and accurate mathematical representations of it..
But there will ALLWAYS ONLY be, “many completely different theoretical conceptions of reality” which are all equally correct..
Thus “what reality actually is” simply CANNOT EVER BE KNOWN..
It would be like saying, that the TRUTH is actually 42.. and all the other numbers are nonexistent..
All the numbers exist and equally represent the TRUTH from various perspectives..
This is WISDOM..
There is TRUTH, this is what we KNOW, and is the ONLY thing we will ever, ever KNOW..
One can KNOW what is TRUE, but cannot KNOW what TRUTH is.. only THAT TRUTH IS..
