I believe there is a (one!) reality.

I define this reality as singular.

That is, there is one and only one reality.
If someone prooves to me that there are two (or even more) realities, I simply define a new 'meta'reality as the collection of all these realities, and hence there is single one.

I define 'truth' as 'being part of reality'.

I know I can not truly know this reality.

I know that all I know of this single reality is nothing more but my perception of reality.

I define consciousness as the part of my perception of reality that I am aware of.

I believe I am aware.

I assume that all that conforms with my perception of reality is true.

I need this assumption to to avoid the abyss of nihilism.

I know this assumption is not true, for I remember occasions that I have changed my perception of reality, that is, I perceived events taking place that did not conform with my perception of reality, but these events undeniably occured therefor I had to change my perception.

I believe that my memories contain some truth.

Knowledge Management is the control of memory, perception and awareness.

All this makes sense to me, but I wonder: is it common?
