Idealism and the world of substantial appearances.

Ideas of Substance

The world will not go away if you become an Idealist!

Idealism cannot, does not, and makes no claim to denying physical reality. Those who would immediately question this statement need to un-twist their knickers and listen carefully without a head full of preconceived notions.

The magnificent actuality of an experienced world is yours, mine, and an entire universe of perceiving entities to enjoy... or not, depending on circumstance. The question of circumstance and context is the drive for this essay on Monistic Idealism. The nuances of intellectual understanding are the first and foremost topic to persue in an endeavour to see through apparent paradoxes I will be claiming and hopefully refuting.
There is a curious human trait of being unable to listen, just simply listen, without personal opinions interfering.

PARADOX - real and perceived.

We all have dificulties with language. We use words freely and assign meaning to words that we hope or believe fit within the context of conversation. Sometimes we make a mess of things and sometimes we do not recognise our mistakes.
When we listen to ideas, we need to have a clear sense of word meanings in the context of their use. For example, the word physical has specific meanings in a variety of contexts, but those meanings, when placed side by side may appear contradictory.
