Something is required to realize

AnonymousIs it possible to say "something is required to realize" (by consciousness),

No.

Anonymouswould it have to be "something is required to be realized"?

That doesn't sound natural to me. In what context do you wish to say something like this?

When you learn, you have to come to a realization of something. It is required to realize this.

Gosh, grammar folks and their contexts. It always has to be from a generic repertoire, or else they're stumped. I guess I also have to mention that my last post was in reply to a request for context and not me making a statement (which would be weird).

... come to a realization of something necessary.
... come to a realization of something that must be realized.

I guess I don't understand what it's supposed to mean exactly.

You realize something, and you are required to realize it.
