There is only one reality and as many perceptions of reality as there are people to percieve it (or as troubleshooter says, "recievers". Reality would exist even if there were nobody to percieve it. And because there is only one reality, there is also only one truth which no one person can know all of because no single person can see everything and because our perception of reality is tainted by our attitudes, past experiences, gender, etc.

I like to use this example. Let's say 5 people went to a concert and all sat in different areas. One up close to the stage, One further back on the left, one on the right, One in the balcony, and one right in the center. Each saw the concert differently and might have noticed things the others didn't. For instance the person up close noticed the color of the pick the guitar player was using, but could not see the video screen above the crowd.

Even though all parties percieved something different, there was only one concert It wasn't as one person in the audience saw a different band on the stage (unless their perception was seriously impaired due to drug use, insanity, etc)


Reality is reality regardless of whether or not anyone is around to percieve it. There is no MY reality or YOUR reality. There is only reality.
