If however, you believe that the Loch Ness monster, God and the flying ketchup monster could possibly exist, then your reality is one where Loch Ness monster, God and the flying ketchup monster could possibly exist.

If however, you strongly believe that the Loch Ness monster, God and the flying ketchup monster cannot possibly exist, then your reality is one where the Loch Ness monster, God and the flying ketchup monster do not exist.

Note however that the boundaries of your reality are not static. They can shift and change. For example, this year you may not believe that God exists. Five years later, you may believe that God exists. Another five years later, you may change your mind and believe that God does not exist. Therefore in your reality, God pops in and out of existence.

This sounds bizarre, until you realise that this is basically quantum physics. At the level of subatomic particles, everything is constantly popping in and out of existence.

If i create my reality totaly,than it is like saying that all people have different worlds which do not intersect with each other and persons' may have a copy of themselves in other people's worlds..For example,if United States-Iraq war stops in my world,that war may continue in your world,but it is not possible...

You did not exist in my reality until today.

I did not exist in your reality until today.

Tomorrow you and/or I might not come back to this forum to read each other posts. We may never meet again in this lifetime. Then effectively I will no longer be in your reality, and you will no longer be in mine.

Thus you can think of it this way - we all have our subjective realities. Sometimes they intersect, and sometimes they separate. When they intersect, each reality may change. For example, my words may have some influence on your life, and your words may have some influence on mine.

In my reality, there is a place called Iraq. In your reality, there is also a place called Iraq. Could war stop in Iraq, in my reality, while it goes on in yours? Ahh, musings for a rainy day. Einstein proposes the idea of alternate dimensions. Could God, the Loch Ness monster and the flying ketchup monster exist in your reality, while not existing in mine?
