Real vs. Not Real: The Nature of Material Reality
A lot of people talk about "real" and "not real" as if it is something easy. They ask for proof of God as if they already have proof of the universe and its nature! Materialism fails in our modern philosophy of science—there is no sharp barrier between physics and metaphysics.
It is impossible to differentiate the real from its perception! The entire universe, in the end, is composed of perceived ideas and information. The source of these ideas is GOD. So, no proof can be done for anything just because it is "material." The entire universe is just a stream of information relative to your consciousness, and this information must have a source which is NOT your consciousness—because you have no idea what you will see in the near future. So the information must have a source which is not part of directly perceived information. But GOD is the one who presents the universal information on your consciousness screen.
All we can know is that we have renamed the information we perceive (seen, smelled, heard, touched, and tasted) as "material." It is just a convention, but the reality is they are all information with different flavors to our souls. Our body is a part of the informational universe, so we can't be our bodies. We are using them as the screen on which God presents His interactive presentation (the universe).
