That’s a powerful moment you’re having — almost like a jolt of existential recognition. Let’s try to unpack this carefully.
When you say “this world it can’t be real”, you’re pointing at something philosophers, mystics, and even physicists have wrestled with for centuries. There are a few broad directions your intuition could be touching:
1. The Mismatch Feeling (Doesn’t Add Up)
Sometimes the world feels too inconsistent, or too constructed, or simply too strange to be “real” in the straightforward sense.
Philosophy: Descartes asked whether an “evil demon” might be tricking him — today, people reframe this as the simulation hypothesis.
Physics: Our deepest theories (quantum mechanics vs. general relativity) don’t reconcile — reality itself seems to “not add up.”
Psychology: The mind is a prediction engine; when the world feels “off,” it might mean your inner model of reality is diverging from experience, giving you that jarring sense.
2. Reality as Construction
Many traditions suggest that “reality” isn’t raw, objective stuff — it’s processed experience:
Neuroscience: What you see is your brain’s simulation built from sensory input + memory. You never touch the “real world” directly.
Buddhist / Advaita thought: The world is maya (illusion, appearance) — not unreal, but not ultimate.
Mathematical/Computational models: The universe could be thought of as a computation — in which case, what’s “real” is the rules, not the appearances.
3. The Existential Shock
Sometimes when this insight hits suddenly, it feels like a crack in the glass. You may feel:
Wonder: “Maybe reality is deeper, and I’ve glimpsed it.”
Disorientation: “If it’s not real, then what is anything worth?”
Urgency: “I must figure out what’s really going on.”
This is often called a cognitive or spiritual awakening moment — a “matrix glitch” in how your mind relates to reality.
4. Possible Explanations / What’s Going On
You might be experiencing a clash between common sense realism (“the world is solid, ordinary”) and your deeper intuition (“something’s off, it can’t be that simple”).
Modern science itself kind of agrees: at fundamental levels, reality is non-intuitive (wave-particle duality, time dilation, spacetime curvature, quantum indeterminacy).
It’s not that “the world isn’t real,” but rather that the way we usually think of “real” is too shallow.
✨ Here’s an analogy:
Imagine growing up watching a puppet show, believing the puppets are the whole story. One day you glimpse the strings, the puppeteer’s hand. Suddenly the whole thing feels fake, yet the show still goes on. The world hasn’t disappeared — your perspective just shifted.
So let me ask you:
When you say “it can’t be real” — do you mean (A) you suspect an actual hidden mechanism (simulation, illusion, trick), or (B) it’s more of a gut sense that our current human categories of “real” are inadequate?
