Sub-real
What is the sub-real? The sub-real would be anything that would be somewhat less real than realness. This idea is projected by several disparate groups alike such as those who believe in the simulation hypothesize, psychonauts, Platonists, and the religious. These people alike typically perceive our reality to be less real than some other realm, such as where the simulation program is being run, higher consciousness, the world of forms, or heaven. However, there is no realm that is more or less real, rather there are only differing aspects of the real. Sure, one can expand their understanding of the real by exploring different aspects of the real such as through psychotropic drugs. However, one will always be in the real once they come into any reality, if in any real we are bound by the real. The Matrix is just as real as the earth, the jester realm is just as real as the earth, and heaven is just as real as the earth. The idea of the sub-real is illusory, based upon false understanding or desire. If something can be sensed it is real, so even illusions are real. Any something is real, anything that is not the case is unreal. The question to be asked is how a something corresponds to reality. Is a sense just a personal illusion, is a belief just a belief or does it describe reality, and other questions of this sort can be asked. We should not be asking how real things are, but we should be asking in what way things are real or unreal. All belief is real belief, but a belief doesn’t make the earth really flat. What is real in this case is purely that the belief exists. Ideas that do not correspond with reality aren’t sub-real, they are simply unreal. There is just no such thing as the sub-real, there is that which is real in a differing manner or unreal.
