The world is surrounded with 'fake' magic - not the real thing, but real-looking illusions, and I'm a sucker for a good illusion, apparently. I see them everywhere, but especially when transacting business. I realize their illusory quality, but still treat the impermanent, the fictions of daily life, as though permanent and real.
But it ain't necessarily so.
It is a tenet of many philosophies that what we accept as everyday reality isn't. Given the limited bandwidth of our conscious sensory system, I believe this to be true. I also believe that you can 'lift the veil' and know things as they are, but communicating this truth may be impossible, because our language was developed in the sensory world.
I also think that the perceived reality I accept is something of my own creation, but it is constantly interacting with other people's realities, with a sort of subconscious handshake agreement that our realities can't appear to be contradictory. Therefore, other people's realities that differ from my own only appear as incompatible, but it's moot. Illusion again.
Too many people aren't open to ideas that don't square with what they think they know, so don't recognize any reality that is inconsistent with their beliefs and ideas.
Until I find otherwise, that's my truth, and I'm sticking to it.
Until I believe otherwise.

We are in the world, not of it. We know the truth and, act from the truth, and the effect on the "lie" is to make it "just noise".

I have no idea how to do this and am not even sure you can.
ReplyDeletei don't think i can do this, or you can do this. It is happening. It happens through paying attention and not giving in to preconceptions. Knowing what is not the truth just leaves you with the truth. When we recognize an illusion, that is the truth. Acting, from this knowledge of the illusory nature of our perceived reality, we are acting from truth. We no longer consider the illusion to be real or even to have any real action in our reality, it is now just words and thoughts, noise or surface "dust".
