	Reality tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reality tunnel is a term coined by Timothy Leary and popularised by Robert Anton Wilson.
		It refers to the concept that with a subconscious set of filters formed from their beliefs and experiences, everyone interprets this same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder".
		While it seems most people take their beliefs to correspond to the "one true objective reality," Robert Anton Wilson emphasizes that each person's reality tunnel is their own artistic creation, whether they realize it or not.

		The problem is that we live in what he calls "reality tunnels" which are focused in such a way as to exclude inputs and experiences that may challenge what we believe, that may help us see the errors in our limited or erroneous constructions of reality.

	Cosmic Trigger, Volume I
		"Reality" is a word in the English language which happens to be (a) a noun and (b) singular.
		The notion that "reality" is a noun, a solid thing like a brick or a baseball bat, derives from the evolutionary fact that our nervous systems normally organize the dance of energy into such block-like "things," probably as instant bio-survival cues.
		The notion that "reality" is singular, like a hermetically sealed jar, does not jibe with current scientific findings which, in this century, suggest that "reality" may better be considered as flowing and meandering, like a river, or interacting, like a dance or evolving, like life itself.

	Earthing The Tunnels Of Set
		The Tunnels of Set: "a network of dream cells in the subconscious mind," reached by projecting consciousness through Daäth, "the gateway of the manifestation of non-manifestation" (Kenneth Grant, Nightside of Eden).
		When the Tunnels (and explorers) had been exhausted, a chapbook was compiled as a verbal travelogue, describing the scenery and landscape of the psychic spaces previously little explored, mapping cogent symbols, suggesting formulae to work, and powers to be gained, and warning of symptoms of unbalanced energies relating to each Tunnel's psychic web.
		And so there are many Tunnel images yet to be earthed, more maps, new angles, fresh descriptions of the psychic space yet to be wrought before we, the human race, succeed in bringing about a willed mutation of the species that will propel us to the Comity of Stars.

	Reality
		This is also the reality that is generally accepted by entities that have not come to terms with their own possible non-existence.
		This is because of the fact that many sentient entities are obliged to comply with consensus reality models during their existence but employ temporary (quite normally) or permanent (getting tricky) additional paradigms (or reality tunnels) in order to explain certain unusual, paranormal, phenomena.
		Due to the philosophical problem of categorising reality as Real, Semi-real or Unreal, it is the authors suggestion that it be categorized as Unreal, pending further investigation.

	THE MAGICIAN'S DICTIONARY, R Section
		Reality does not exist apart from you and me. Although it seems to retain a changeless nature, that is merely the illusory consensus which our society clings to.
		Sense reality, for all its unreliability, is not very flexible, hence it serves as the final testing field (as well as rubbish heap) of substance.
		Any integrated system has a reality of its own, apart from "general reality" or "Ultimate Reality." There are also levels of reality, ranging from the purely theoretical, subjective or solipsistic to the most incontrovertible consensus of "scientific law." There are as many reality-templates as mind can derive or devise.

	:: Douglas Rushkoff - Weblog ::
		That's why I like RA Wilson's notion of "reality tunnels." (See Lacan, the psychologist, for more on this idea.) We can't help but see the world through the model we have developed for it.
		I wonder whether a "reality tunnel" could contain a hint of scientific method to it: that it seeks to explain the world one sees, and even predicts a person's responses to circumstances, just as a good scientific theory will explain and predict natural phenemona.
		If this website is more about reality tunnels, then I guess you could make a case for the "reality tunnel" thing in the sense that many an Israeli might point to the fact that innocent people were being hit by rocks by protesters and anti Israeli messages were being broadcast on PA TV.

		Each person's reality-tunnel is structured by their emic-reality -- emic-realities are thoughts, feelings and sense impressions created in the mind when communicating with one another, and reality tunnels are no more than one or more emic-realities established as a vivid metaphor transmitted into symbolism and traveling across the neurons of your brain.

	Reality Maps and Fundamentalism
		Our core beliefs define our relationship to reality — our place in the world — which is why they are difficult to change (most hardly change their core beliefs over a lifetime).
		There is a natural propensity in every fundamentalist to spread his or her delusion; the fundamentalist is driven to stamp out any threat to his or her reality, because that reality defines the self (here, the map is the territory).
		This requires an understanding of reality maps and exposure to belief systems different from our own, so that we realize that what we believe about the world is just that — a belief system.

	The New Inquistion
		It's undeniably true that we are shaped by our reality tunnels, and that it's helpful to try to see from other reality tunnels.
		However this book makes it clear that Wilson is no scientist, that he does not really understand science (of either the classical or quantum variety), and that he is often attacking not science but rather a straw man of his own devising.
		According to Wilson, discussing humans in general and the models they use in their reality tunnels, "If the models do not fit very well, they do not revise them but grow angry at the world--at experience--for being recalcitrant." This is certainly true of many, many people in many aspects of their lives.

		Such "things," however, dissolve back into energy dances --- processes or verbs --- when the nervous system is synergized with certain drugs or transmuted by yogic or shamanic exercises or aided by scientific instruments.
		What my experiments demonstrate --- what all such experiments throughout history have demonstrated --- is simply that our models of "reality" are very small and tidy, the universe of experience is huge and untidy, and no model can ever include all the huge untidiness perceived by uncensored consciousness.
		The theory of transactional psychology, which is the source of my favorite models and metaphors, merely says that, once you have been hit by a car, the meaning of the experience depends entirely on you and the results depend partly on you (and partly on your doctors).
