What is reality?  Is reality the sensory experience our bodies create and define with feedback?  Is reality really just a choice between endless multiverses and attention?  Maybe the questions are bigger than the answers. Perhaps Occam was right; The simplest explanation is the most correct.  Meaning?
There is no reality, there is only consciousness.  What the physical world calls matter and energy is only consciousness. If nature is the codex to "life" in this dimension then truth be told there is way more "nothing" than something.  Or perhaps the Buddhists gave us the key- Mu- meaning  the Buddhists are looking for "no thing."
The Taoists would also point us out to the obvious. The "void" is the beginning of the beginning before the beginning.  Call it the unspoken potential.  Where whatever can be imagined is somewhere, in the universe, real and abiding; wonderful and terrible at the same time that we made for our perception.
So there in lies our friend and truth the paradox. The human cell is not the human and it is.  We are (sons of God -meaning as God)God  and not God.  The list can go on in adfinitum.
So there can be only one course of action foreseeable; grow consciousness and evolve.  For only in the growth of consciousness are the solutions approachable for the next evolutionary jump in the Self.  After all, how can I prove that anything exists outside of myself with fallible sensors and programming. David Hawkin's MD PhD in his book Letting Go says it best(paraphrased)
, "If you think reality is anywhere else other than between your ears, you are insane already." The world's problems are simple illusions that can be very painful to an ego that "won't let go."
