In the modern world, many people are absolutely convinced that everything that they see, hear, and touch is real, and anything outside of our scientific ability to measure or to surmise its existence is not real. That is to say, the reality of what we perceive is proven to us by science, or possibly through our intuition, or else through the experience that we have garnered in this world, and pretty much everything that lies outside of that domain is myth, superstition, or yet to be discovered or understood.
It isn’t so much that the foregoing, is wrong, though it is, but rather it is shortsighted and fails to comprehend that as real as this world appears to us, this is not the ultimate reality of the situation. In truth, our very existence comes forth from the dream mind of God, thereby indicating that all that we interact with, in the material world, are constructs of that same dream mind of God, existing only because God is omniscient and has created this dimension for us to experience and to fairly test our mettle, in the interplay between light and darkness, of which, those that become truly enlightened, can break free from the illusion that this physical world seems to represent.
This means that this physical world exists as a template for us to experience a physical body and to interact with one another, on a different level, with the ensuing drama of what appears to be mortality, and the corresponding loss, thereof, of immortality. Yet, this is an illusion, for when we are fully cognizant that we are not the physical, but are made up of the eternal spiritual, instead, then we comprehend that this world is not the be-all and end-all of our existence, but merely a stopping point, for us to experience an event through a corporeal raiment.
So too, it is presupposed that this world only exists because of the creation of human beings and therefore is dependent upon those same human beings to be present here, or else the whole construct will go up in smoke. Rather, because God birthed this world into existence, its continual existence is controlled by the dream mind of God, and nothing else, for God is the Master of it all, for God is that eternal Light, that never burns out, come what may.
Indeed, it is hard for many a person to believe that as real as this world appears to be, it isn’t though the ultimate reality, but rather this world exists only in the mind’s eye of God. So then, we have to recognize that for many of us, our vision is limited to only what we do or don’t believe, and in our collective failure to pursue Truth and the real purpose of life, we get caught up in the everyday drama that passes for real, believing that this is reality and no more; whereas, in actuality, we have inconveniently forgotten that to overly concentrate on the finite, at the expense of the infinite, is to expend far too much of our time missing the forest for the trees, for the reality is that there is only that One, and no more.
