How Many True Realities Exist? And Why Does the True Reality Never Appear?
Posted on 25 July 2025 by Mohammad Ali Hasan Amiruddin â 2 min
True reality possesses characteristics that are the opposite of temporal (empirical) reality. While temporal reality is multiple and relative, true reality is singular and absolute.
Why do I draw this conclusion so quickly?
If there were more than one true reality, then the perception of each would limit the value of the others. As a result, none of them would retain an absolute value. And if none of them are absolute, then their claim to be the "true reality" collapses logically.
It's like a kingdom with more than one king. Is that possible? Of course not! If a kingdom has more than one king, then none of them is truly a king. Each would be watching the others, meaning none holds genuine sovereignty. If none is a true king, then all are false kings. And we all know that a false king is not a king at all!
What about the paradox of multiple true realities?
That, too, is logically impossible. Imagine two kingdoms: one led by King ChatGPT and another by King Gemini. Neither of them would be a true king because true kingship demands absolute power that unites all kingdoms under one rule. That is only possible if there is one kingâwithout rivals. So, the paradox of multiple true realities collapses.
Then why does the true reality never appear?
The answer: itâs not that it doesnât appear, but that our observational capacity is extremely limited. It's like trying to observe the core of the sunâwe simply canât! Even seeing the sunâs surface from one meter away is impossible.
So who or what is the true reality?
If I had to call the true reality by another name, I would call it: God. Because God is the only being who fits the definition of true realityâsingular, with unlimited powerâabsolute.
That is why the pluralism of divine concepts in many religions is logically untenable. Meanwhile, Islamâwith its concept of the One and Only Godâoffers the only narrative consistent with the logic of true reality.
