By Henry M. Piironen
Individuals are not born to a reality that had not exceeded in content through different phases of development, but to a reality that has a history of cause and effect, founded on the interaction between different humans and their consciousness. The ordinary perception of reality is placed in the physical world that surrounds the consciousness, when in fact if we consider this more closely, we find the emptiness of all the buildings and constructions without the presence humans, therefore bringing out the fact that it is the living and the heritage from our ancestors that produce that which we call as the reality.
As a heritage, we have such representational entities as the laws of nature in physics, society systems different from each other depending on the place of birth, systems of thought like existentialism, laws integrated to the society systems, words and their definitions, all of the content of the different cultural realities, constructed of representations, and as our sense of reality is representational, the reality as we know it is highly dynamic when compared with the stuffy reality of non-living matter and energy, because we can combine and recombine the components of the representational reality with the power of our thought, but of course within the limits of our cognitive abilities. Representational reality as it is now in its combination is for example the cause of the lack of equality between humans, the cause of wars as the reality is divided by the sense of nationality, producing coalitions, co-existing coalitions, competing coalitions, and counter coalitions, sorrowful hunger in the third world countries, and racism, and the capacity of the mass mind in its current condition is also used for information that has little or non value for the life of a mortal.
When we are born to this world, we automatically start to adapt to the reality, and our sense of reality becomes conditioned with knowledge as we internalize the contemporary state of the representational reality, including the spiritual and scientific realisms, the representational world that extends beyond the innate nature and the physical reality as it is, surrounding the consciousness and living bodies. When considering the nature of this reality, and the heritage that is left behind, the true power a human can have is in the words and in the truth. There is, of course, physical strength, but it is from knowledge that we gain our sense of reality, and if we were to deceive our descendants to live in an illusionary state of being, with the level of ethics and the functions of society that cause them to carry the same pains that characterize our era, it would either be a continuation or production of a representational nightmare. When all these are added up, and as the life in clarity is only in the level of truths understandable for the contemporary level of thought in humanity, it becomes obvious that the spread of truth inside the mass mind is the most valuable heritage. When the increasing complexity of the reality in the level of representations is in relativity with truths, and when we build our societies to be in correlation with the level of development of the ethical understanding of human existence, the more they dominate the reality that compose together the humane foundations of the world of humanity.
