What causes reality? Where does it stem from? Is it purely consciousness? Is there always a spiritual component? Is it always shared? Do all thoughts become reality or are they already? Once an idea exists, whether from our own input and thinking, or from an external source (person, God, spirit, etc.) can it "un"-exist? No. The idea has already happened so therefore it already exists. If an individual or grouping of individuals has an idea, or even a shared idea, that idea's power grows. The power here is the ability for the idea to become a reality, either tangible or intangible. Research of an idea increases it's power and probability of it becoming real. Something that is real can be considered unreal based on the individual perceiving said reality. Reality can be defined by physicality or thought, therefore it cannot be measured. This is why people with cognitive disabilities, psychosis, schizophrenia, etc. are unable to distinguish their reality from the reality of those who observe the affected individuals so-called "delusions" or rather, their perception of existence, and are therefore demonized as mentally ill, when they're living a different reality than those around them. Some people call instances of this type of reality a spiritual experience, demonic possession or oppression, extraterrestrial experience or "crazy", which they could very well be, but in fact, these affected people's minds, bodies and energetical selves are experiencing something beyond the rational explanation of modern thought or experience. If we begin as energetical beings, spiritual beings, a thought or even a coincidence of sexual interaction, then what we experience individually could be a combination of the things that created us, immeasurable things that continue to be the conversation of philosophy, spiritual debate, scientific discussion or perpetual measurement attempts. No matter our beginning, our physical existence is considered as "life" when were really never unalive, but rather, not in the realm of tangible existence until birthed. After birth, our physical existence is shaped by those who keep us alive until we come into consciousness ourselves. Some come into consciousness before others, but overall, we all have a "gap" between our physical existence and our mental existence, or rather, when we begin to perceive reality, whether it be a reality that's presented to us or a reality that's generated within ourselves or externally. Before the gap, we use scientific measurements to determine or future physical selves, spiritual elements to instill in our growing bodies while in utero (prayer, scripture, etc.) and technology to see what will look like, if we're "well" based on predefined metrics, and monitor the entities (mothers) bringing us into physicality. But what happens in the gap? What happens during the formation of physicality and formation of consciousness? What happens physically is being measured, but what's happening energetically or spiritually is almost impossible to measure or fathom. Is the gap the determining factor for our base of reality?
