If this existence was "Real"... how is it we cannot reveal and experience all of it by thinking?

 Or... does the word "God" reveal to us what this word "stands for"?

Or... is the word "God" an abstract term we use to "stand for" what the term actually means?

Or put another way... what we think we know (because we have words for things we can't actually discover)... reveal to us what invisible things are?  Or do we fool ourselves by thinking we know what things are because we possess words that "stand for" things our physical senses cannot actually experience? We "think" we know something because we can intellectually define it.

 Who does one turn to for help in the discovery of elements of existence that our physical senses cannot perceive?  Things such as God, Soul, Truth, and Reality... for instance?  We are told that God exists "Within" each of us... and yet, at least in the West, who do you know who has seen the God that exists "Within" him or herself"?  Obviously God is not physical, otherwise Man would have found Him by now... don't you  imagine?  And if God is not physical, how do we know that God exists?  Do we believe in the existence of God because we cannot explain the origin of existence otherwise?

 And, how does one raised in the West believe those raised in the East who believe that what gives life to living creatures in the world is God?... which they believe is invisible and exists in another realm of existence entirely INSIDE OF MAN, BUT BEYOND THE ABILITY OF ONE'S PHYSICAL SENSES TO PERCEIVE?  People in the East have even named a number of different realms of existence "Within" Man that are simply "invisible" to Man.

And of course if something is "invisible," then of course one cannot perceive that invisible realm by use of one's physical senses.  So, various levels of mankind believe in various things that cause them to engage in various levels of warfare against one another because  what they believe differs from what others believe... but cannot prove!  What is it they cannot prove?  The existence of God, the Soul, or the fact that each unknowingly holds intense fears "within" his or her MIND [which is one of the invisible energy realms that exist within every living thing on Earth].

The reality is that what causes people to engage in anger, hatred, and violence are deep-seated psychological fears they do not realize are deeply repressed  within the MIND of each of them.  It is the MIND converting the energy of fear into various forms of hatred, anger, and violence that people are  "projecting" upon others they identify as responsible.

So, what is real?  What is Real in a Creation that is actually an Illusion?  I have found what works for me, and each must do the same.  There is only one answer to life. The answer is to find the Truth...which lies hidden "Within" each of us.  And for this... one needs the help of a special Soul sent by God.  Seek ye a Perfect Living Master.
