For that matter... what is REALITY?

 LET US BEGIN WITH A DISCUSSION OF WHAT MAKES TRUTH, AND REALITY,  SO DIFFICULT TO DISCOVER?    

WE BEGIN BY EXPLAINING THAT BOTH ARE "INVISIBLE" TO THOSE PARTS OF MAN WE COMMONLY USE TO SEARCH FOR THEM!   I AM SPEAKING OF THE BRAIN AND ONE'S PHYSICAL SENSES, OF COURSE. Which serve us well to discover elements of the Creation...

The simple fact is... my sketch of The Whole of Man... explains the reason we are unable to find the Truth, or Reality.  That is, #2, #3, and #4 are all invisible to the brain and our physical senses.  And where they are is where we will find  the Soul, Truth, and Reality... and where is that?  It is the Pure Spiritual Realm, which is a realm entirely separate from the Creation and this physical plane.

The only parts of Man we can see and think about with our brain are those parts that are physical, tangible, and part of the Creation.... or are "abstract words or symbols" that we have created to "stand for" or "point to" that which we cannot actually see. 

This  is a KEY BIT OF EXISTENCE... that Man has forgotten.  The fact that hidden "within" Man is the Pure Spiritual Energy of God in the form of a Soul... is something our linear brain cannot perceive, and cannot imagine. Let us say that we Souls are exploring the Creation, and our guide is the individual MIND that is attached to each Soul... and the MIND has [over a great many lifetimes] assumed the role of one's Ego-structure... and one's MIND [and the Karma (history and obligations) generated by one's Soul] is what keeps we Souls "stuck" in the Creation...and this situation is called "Transmigration" or Reincarnation.

And  this is what keeps we Souls stuck in the Creation.  This situation is well-known in the East, and essentially ignored in the West. 

Now... isn't that something to ponder?   If one can ponder that which is invisible?
