“Reality is defined by the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Anyone who denies this is ipso facto an irrationalist. Whatever they say is necessarily irrational, hence can be immediately discounted. The very act of trying to provide reasons why the Principle of Sufficient Reason is wrong is irrational because, in trying to find reasons, you have already acknowledged the supremacy of the PSR. You cannot use reasons to attack reason while denying the worth of reason. Yet it’s astounding how many people try.”

“Reality is far more vicious than Russian roulette. First, it delivers the fatal bullet rather infrequently, like a revolver that would have hundreds, even thousands of chambers instead of six. After a few dozen tries, one forgets about the existence of a bullet, under a numbing false sense of security. Second, unlike a well-defined precise game like Russian roulette, where the risks are visible to anyone capable of multiplying and dividing by six, one does not observe the barrel of reality. One is capable of unwittingly playing Russian roulette - and calling it by some alternative “low risk” game.”

“Reality is frequency.”
Source: Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
“Reality is Frequency (EM Sonnet)
Light is a matter of frequency,
reality is a matter of (EM) waves.
I'm talking in a mathematical sense,
and not in a mumbo jumbo sort of way.
Light, there is always,
just not the kind we can see.
Just like our eyes register a limited
spectrum, mind too is blind to plenty.
Our eyes are not equipped to
perceive outside certain spectrum,
just like our mind is conditioned to
see nothing beyond self preservation.
With modern gadgets we can see the full
EM spectrum, beyond the limits of our senses.
Likewise, a well developed character
transcends the very barrier of time and space.”

“REALITY IS HOW YOU SEE
IT, BUT LIFE IS HOW YOU
LIVE IT.”
“Reality is in secrecy, not in openness. Because anything can be reflected outwardly, it is open to manipulation. Whether that reflection is genuine or not can only be revealed when a deep relationship is developed with that person. The sacred hides. A genuine soul does not scream; it whispers. True connection, the kind that shakes the bones, requires mystery and unknowing. But modern culture, in its desperation for validation, has sterilized all tension; dating is now a checklist, or friendship is now a series of performed affirmations. Everyone is "relatable," and thus, no one is real.”

How can you know though? Is it when you forget or when it doesn’t hurt to think about it anymore?”
