    Objects in space and time, objects that our sense organs stumble upon, are not real, if we define reality in terms of immortality and immutability. In that case, that because of which change occurs and that which endures all change would be regarded as real. That reality would subsist beyond space and time and that would be beyond the ken of sense organs. On the other hand, if we do not agree with such a definition, then our reference to a real object would go on baffling us as anything of that sort would be now here and after a moment nowhere.

    That which is permanent. That which thoughts, sensations, emotions, etc. float in is real. Some call it consciousness or awareness.

    It's not a thing but it is the background to which all things float(inner n outer). Real is the pure sky. The clouds pass through but remain untouched by them.

    Great, thoughtful question!

    Reality is what we make it. If it is in my mind to think that there is a flying elephant outside my house, then it's real to me. God is real to a lot of people and it isn't to a lot as well. We create our environment and we exist and cease to exist in a split second. I recommend you watch What The Bleep Do We Know?

    That which is real is whole, it is complete in and of itself.

    It is permanent, it does not come or go.

    Nor is it subject to the temporal, ie it is limited by, nor conditioned by what does come and go.

    What is real is eternal, it did not begin and it does not end.

    So, reality is entirely beyond the universe which comes and goes.

    here and now...

    everything that's ever been thought of. How can it not be real if it's already been perceived? Our minds and brains are real. And there is real beyond what we perceive because there is still so much left to learn. Everything is real to me.

    Real is something to which there can be no debate. All credible sources would have to agree upon the subject.

    That which exists whether or not it is perceived to exist is real. That which exists dependent upon the existence of a perceiver to perceive it may well exist for that perceiver, but it is not real as the perceiver may or may not be real.

    real is subjective

    Some people believe the dinosaurs were real, others don't. Some believe we landed on the moon, again, others don't.

    Real is what we decide in our minds to be real.

    ONLY ONE THING IS REAL REST EVERY THING IS NOT REAL.

    WHAT IS THAT ONE THING WHICH IS REAL AND WILL STAY REAL FOR EVER IS CALLED " DARLING SPACE ".

    SEE WITH YOUR OPEN EYES IN THE NIGHT ALL THE STARS AND YOU CAN REALISE DIRECTLY THAT ALL STARS ARE BORN IN ONE DARLING SPACE. SO ONLY ONE SPACE IS REAL NOTHING ELSE BECAUSE EVERY THING DOESNOT MATTER WHAT IS BORN IN ONE DARLING SPACE.

    " IN THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE ONLY SPACE IS REAL "
