The Law of Reality and Consciousness

Reality and Consciousness are complex and dangerous concepts to understand. Complex due to the mental activity required to comprehend the truth of these concepts but dangerous as by understanding them one can possibly then learn to manipulate oneself (or some on else) to believe in a different reality and consciousness that will eventually break their sanity.
== Reality ==
Defined as "the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them." Reality is difficult to distinguish from non-reality meaning that you should always be ready to accept that there is more to the universe than meets the eye. One thing you may believe to be true may not but what makes the distinguishability between these two states of reality is that how would you ever know which one is real reality. Whatever truth that may be obvious today, may turn out to not be true at all.
Many, when trying to understand reality, have to comprehend that they should ponder what is really real, as opposed to what they think is real, and how they could ever know the difference. Could you ask yourself, is it possible that your current reality is not real at all? 
=== Plato's Cave ===
Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece on Terra from 428- 348 BCE. He proposed this analogy of reality and how it is difficult to comprehend the difference between true reality and non or fake realities. 
==== In The Cave ====
Plato begins by having Socrates ask Glaucon to imagine a cave where people have been imprisoned from birth. These prisoners are chained so that their legs and necks are fixed, forcing them to gaze at the wall in front of them and not look around at the cave, each other, or themselves. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway with a low wall, behind which people walk carrying objects or puppets "of men and other living things". The people walk behind the wall so their bodies do not cast shadows for the prisoners to see, but the objects they carry do ("just as puppet showmen have screens in front of them at which they work their puppets". The prisoners cannot see any of what is happening behind them, they are only able to see the shadows cast upon the cave wall in front of them. The sounds of the people talking echo off the walls, and the prisoners believe these sounds come from the shadows.
Socrates suggests that the shadows are reality for the prisoners because they have never seen anything else; they do not realize that what they see are shadows of objects in front of a fire, much less that these objects are inspired by real things outside the cave.
==== Departure from the cave ====
Plato then supposes that one prisoner is freed. This prisoner would look around and see the fire. The light would hurt his eyes and make it difficult for him to see the objects casting the shadows. If he were told that what he is seeing is real instead of the other version of reality he sees on the wall, he would not believe it. In his pain, Plato continues, the freed prisoner would turn away and run back to what he is accustomed to (that is, the shadows of the carried objects). He writes "... it would hurt his eyes, and he would escape by turning away to the things which he was able to look at, and these he would believe to be clearer than what was being shown to him.
Plato continues: "Suppose... that someone should drag him... by force, up the rough ascent, the steep way up, and never stop until he could drag him out into the light of the sun." The prisoner would be angry and in pain, and this would only worsen when the radiant light of the sun overwhelms his eyes and blinds him.
"Slowly, his eyes adjust to the light of the sun. First he can only see shadows. Gradually he can see the reflections of people and things in water and then later see the people and things themselves. Eventually, he is able to look at the stars and moon at night until finally he can look upon the sun itself ." Only after he can look straight at the sun "is he able to reason about it" and what it is.
==== Return to the Cave ====
Plato continues, saying that the freed prisoner would think that the world outside the cave was superior to the world he experienced in the cave; "he would bless himself for the change, and pity the other prisoners" and would want to bring his fellow cave dwellers out of the cave and into the sunlight .
The returning prisoner, whose eyes have become accustomed to the sunlight, would be blind when he re-enters the cave, just as he was when he was first exposed to the sun. The prisoners, according to Plato, would infer from the returning man's blindness that the journey out of the cave had harmed him and that they should not undertake a similar journey. Socrates concludes that the prisoners, if they were able, would therefore reach out and kill anyone who attempted to drag them out of the cave. These prisoners therefore believe in a false reality or non-reality that they are unable to distinguish from true reality.
=== True Reality ===
There is only one true reality one in which all of the laws of the universe are constant and defined, one in which was started by the Chaos force and created by the Creators and the Gods. It is difficult even with my understand to describe reality as it is just the truth of what exists, by learning the truth you are entering true reality.
=== The Rules of Reality ===
* The current reality is one that has always and will always exist
* If the current reality is changed then the old one seizes to have ever been and the new reality has and always will exist
* Reality is the truth of what is and can be in the universe
== Consciousness ==
Consciousness is the state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings, however it is not ones ability to judge reality around oneself. Consciousness is attached to the soul, it is what gives us our awareness, subjectivity, our ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, a sense of selfhood or soul. The "stream of thought" is governed by five characteristics: 
* Every thought tends to be part of a personal consciousness.
* Within each personal consciousness thought is always changing. 
* Within each personal consciousness thought is sensibly continuous. 
* It always appears to deal with objects independent of itself.
* It is interested in some parts of these objects to the exclusion of others.
Consciousness must be present for a soul not to die, because it is sort of the heart of the soul, so if it stops then the soul soon after will perish.
