What is Transcendent Reality?
88649
A level of reality other than what is viewed by most. Could seem to be a hallucination, might also be able to communicate with people without talking or motioning if they're on the same level. Things you learn in a transcendent reality should be applied loosely to life, as a general principle, not as an absolute answer to a question. Also not a good idea to discuss particulars of alternate levels of reality with the vast majority of people, some will be very scared, others will just feel stupid and hate you. \n\nThat guy's not talking about transcending reality, he's talking about brainwashing to create an illusion of another reality, which isn't real.

Reality equals experiences and truth.

Reality is real. No. No. Allegory is symbolic story. Historically, maybe. What do you mean is doctrine real? No.\n\nI prefer light 'cept when I have a migrane.\n\nThe light of the world is not a GE lightbulb. It is the Sun :)

I've been doing a little reading on it, too. Just out of curiousity and some more to answer a couple of questions here.  I'm not sure what the actual main belief is, if it has one.\n\nHere's my post for one of those questions (I know it's long, sometimes I just can't help myself), http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006032806764\n\nIt's interesting to note that the official Scientology FAQ's are at odds with some of the statements made as answers here. It has been stated here that Scientology is "not a belief or system of beliefs" and "there is no belief in Scientology", and yet, the church's official website seems to state the exact opposite by listing its beliefs and talking about believers. It is no wonder that there is a bit of confusion as to what Scientology is and isn't, if the followers cannot agree with the information publicly posted by the church itself.\n\n\nFrom the official Scientology site mentioned a few times here, http://www.scientology.org \n\nWhy is Scientology called a religion? \n\nScientology certainly meets all three criteria generally used by religious scholars around the world to determine religiosity: (1) a belief in some Ultimate Reality, such as the Supreme or eternal truth that transcends the here and now of the secular world; (2) religious practices directed toward understanding, attaining or communing with this Ultimate Reality; and (3) a community of believers who join together in pursuing this Ultimate Reality.\n\nScientology’s beliefs in an Ultimate Reality that transcends the material world include its concepts of the thetan, the spiritual world (the seventh dynamic) and the Supreme Being (the eighth dynamic). The second element can be found in Scientology’s life-rite ceremonies such as naming, marriage and funeral services, but predominantly in the religious services of auditing and training, through which Scientologists increase their spiritual awareness of themselves and attain an understanding of the spiritual world and, ultimately, their relationship with the Supreme Being. As to the third element, a very vital community of believers can be found at any Church of Scientology at almost any time of the day.\n\nScientology is thus a religion in the most traditional sense of the term.\n\n\nDoes Scientology have a scripture? \n\nYes. The writings and recorded spoken words of L. Ron Hubbard on the subject of Scientology collectively constitute the scripture of the religion. He set forth the Scientology theology and technologies in more than 500,000 pages of writings, including dozens of books and over 2,000 tape-recorded public lectures.\n===============\n\nSome interesting reading from an opposing view is found here,\n\nhttp://www.spaink.net/fishman/home.html\n"When Fishman was then brought to court, he used parts of Scientology-documents to prove he had been brainwashed by the Church. These Scientology documents thereby became public material: anybody could go to the court library and read them. The Church, fearing that its sacred secrets would be revealed, had some of their people going to the library every day to borrow these documents, thereby preventing other people (read: non-Scientologists) from reading them. Nevertheless, the Fishman Affidavit got copied (it was also available through the clerk of the court, for a mere $36.50). Somebody retrieved the affidavit via the clerk, scanned it, and posted it to the net. The Fishman Affidavit has been travelling on the Internet ever since."\n\nand here,\nhttp://www.spaink.net/fishman/ot3.html\n"In OT III, ("OPERATING THETAN, Section Three") Hubbard explains his cosmology and the ins & outs of 'body thetans'."\n\n"The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 5,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanti

do you mean transcendental or tangential? tangendental is not in the dictionary but may be a recent coining ...\n\ntranscendental means something that transcends and has been used with reference to meditation. maybe the other word you give is meant to be existential transcententalism??\n\ntangential means 'at a tangent to'

i'd have to say that it's like astralling, but you don't return to your physical body when you're done for the day.  there's light areas, and dark areas, and grey areas, and everything in between.  there are spirits of all sizes, shapes, demeanors, and "species"--more than most dare imagine.  from what i've seen, the christian concept of "heaven" does sort of exist, but it's more of a city-state within the astral realms, from which no spirits are reincarnated back into the physical realm.  that is NOT to be confused with the buddhist concept of enlightenment, by the way.\n\nif you want the Full version, find me in yahoo messenger, paganism chat rooms (higher numbers, generally).  i'm known as "Suhrim" all of the time--i never use another name.

No.  Reality is what we perceive it to be.  Absolutes do not exist.  Without perception, therefore, reality does not exist.  And hence, a tree falling with no one to hear, makes no sound.

is this real?\n\nIS THIS THE WAY LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE?\n\nthe only hope for the future of mankind is the possibility that someone will be able to realise that the world they were experiencing was  not   the true reality.

when all thoughts have subsided and the mind is dissolved in the self (the source) the mind expands instantaneously covering the whole of creation then all is known even the unknowable,you realize your identification with the supreme self and that's there is only oneness everywhere,nothing else to see,hear,learn its the goal of existence.its difficult to describe the indescribable it has to be directly experienced by ones self

There can never be proof of a spiritual reality in a physical world.\n\nOnly idiots will quote the Bible or Quran as proof ... because there is no proof that they are really from a supreme being.  Proof can only come from an established truth. No scripture of any religion can be proof.\n\nSome foolish people claim that all you need is faith. They overlook Jesus' most important teachings. He spoke of a foolish man building his house on sand (blind faith) and the wise building it upon a solid rock (factual information). He was showing that faith without a solid ground is just another name for stupidity.\n\nPersonally, I feel that in a great void prior to the world, there was a "Dynamic Energy" and through the big bang part of that energy was converted to mass (E=MC^2). This resulted in the many worlds and galaxies being formed. It is all very scientific.\n\nIt is important to realize that everything and everyone around us, including ourselves is part of that "Dynamic Energy"... not from it, but part of it.\n\nNow substitute the phrase "Supreme Being" for "Dynamic Energy" and you will realize that everything around us including our enemies is all part of GOD ... not from him, but PART OF HIM.\n\nThe world that we pollute is part of Him, our enemies we are shooting at is part of Him. The table and that chair we touch is part of Him.\n\nIf every one could believe this way, there would be no wars, no poor, no pollution because we would realize that we were doing it to God himself or herself.\n\nThat may be why many religions say we are all GODS or divine, part of God or in his image.  \n\nI think they are all very right on this aspect.

the way i see it, anything you feel is just as real as anything else. i'm just not sure if everything is either real, or artificial. but, assuming that ANYTHING is "real", then even a person hallucinating something that noone else sees is having a "real" feeling. anyone who believes "i think, therefore i am" should agree with me.

I have worked with these people for years.  The best answer I have ever heard was from one of them.  They told me, "It is there reality."  What they are seeing is real to them, just as the sky is real to us.  He told me people could tell them that his hallucinations were not real but to him they were "real" because they were there right infront of him.  Pretty good discription I thought.

A very interesting question and metaphysical question.  The soul is classically understood as the principal of life, once created, is destined for God.  Your question link into a lot of pop spirituality influenced by eastern thoughts of reincarnation.\n\nSo the suggestion is that the soul can be seen as existent before life and actually choose to "come to earth" and live out a particular life.  This is not classic understanding but it would make sense of a lot of experiences I have had.  Its as if I know when somebody I meet for the first time, is going to be a significant presence in my life, as if I had a memory from heaven, no details just a sense of knowing they will be someone to me.\n\nNow I am very tentative about this because any suggestion of predestination is anathema to me; so that why I say its just an interesting question.

Yes. One day we will awaken from this dream we call life and see the real world which is animated. See you on the other side in the great awakening my friend.
