Reality cannot be known through thinking, but it can be known through action. Thinking is just a dream phenomenon. The moment you act you have become part of reality. Reality is activity, action. Thinking is just a fragment. When you act you are total; whatsoever the action your whole being is involved in it. Thinking goes on in a part of the mind; your whole being is not involved. Without you, thinking can continue as an automatic process.

This has to be understood deeply. This is one of the most basic things for those who are in search of truth and not in search of any theory. Religion and philosophy are distinct in this sense: religion is action, philosophy is thinking.

How is that liberal? OP hasn't fucking defined the terms. If you define them one way it's impossible to say reality doesn't exist. For it to make sense that reality doesn't exist you have to define either reality, existence, or both narrowly.

The fact you are asking this question, or that you even have a notion of "reality" shows both an innate and experiential understanding of reality. From this, it is fine to ponder the exact nature of reality. Many philosophers have even denied the ontological reality of the material world in favor of Being, for instance.

In all due essentiality, it doesnt. I think catagorizing things into theoretical and practical is useful. There is no theoreticl certanty for reality, but it SEEMS (Key word there, seems) like there is a causal trend. this will be called practicality. Work in the practical, but keep in mind the practical is a fancy, ultimately it comes down to the theoretical.

This is why Pol Pot was right.
You Intellectoid faggots must be forced into reality, real work, real pain, real senses, real moments in order to improve your thoughts with consistance.
