Creating your own reality?

Reality is a word very much misunderstood. It is being used erroneously to express a totality, a complete existence. The word is obviously different to such words as world, universe, cosmos. A reality is about the real, the things, matter, objects. It is a word telling of the state of things in a world. It is limited by the perception of things, and all what is known about things. A world of things is a fragmented, mechanistic view, not a whole. I have adopted a reality based view of the world, and this fragmented perception affects my thinking, and is a limited understanding of the world. The mind uses the fragments, images, thought, memory, words, ideas, to function, and operates in knowledge based scheme, yzing, theorizing, idealizing, intellectualizing. All the parts are what is taken to be a consistent, coherent, organized, self. The self, separate, divided, from the world, tries to find wholeness by using the parts. This process of using the parts, because it correlates to the state of the fragmented mind, gives a false image of a totally co-ordinated operation.
