Understanding Reality through Our Context
As human beings, our understanding of reality is heavily influenced by our personal experiences, genetics, and the contexts we create. These contexts—whether tribal, religious, or academic—are not inherently real or true, but rather reflections of our beliefs and perceptions.
How Context Shapes Our Reality
The stories and contexts we construct are based on sensory data and emotional responses. For example, during World War II, the contexts people held were deeply affected by their experiences, leading to a variety of beliefs and perceptions. These contexts, despite their origin in stories and emotions, shape our understanding of reality.
Dr. Maria Montessori discovered a law of biology called the S/DM (sameness and difference of measurements) law, which allows the brain’s analyzer brain organ (AZO) to produce healthy precision thinking. The AZO processes information in the form of sensory data, which are electrical digital patterns representing objects and events made by laws of nature.
The Importance of Understanding Reality
Reality, as defined by chem/phy (chemical and physics) made of particles, atoms, and molecules, is what we must understand to avoid unhealthy thoughts and beliefs. This involves controlling the AZO with the S/DM law and understanding the value of life through the lens of ecology.
Cultures often succumb to myths, fairy tales, and hallucinations, which can undermine our understanding of reality. It is crucial that people recognize the distinction between actual realities and these distortions. For example, the role of a mayor is a social construct and not a natural reality, as the person is made up of molecules rather than possessing a distinct mayor persona.
Bringing Reality to Our Contexts
While our contexts can be influenced by emotions and stories, it is essential to focus on the actual realities that can be measured and understood through the AZO. By doing so, we can ensure that our actions and decisions are based on truth rather than illusions.
Conclusion
Realism requires us to recognize the fundamental nature of reality and the importance of grounded contexts. By understanding and respecting the biological and scientific realities, we can navigate our experiences more effectively and make informed decisions. Achieving this clarity is key to avoiding the pitfalls of misinformation and ensuring our context reflects what is truly real.
