Post #68 "We Are..........."

We chose to build the walls so we could not see Reality, for if we would just catch a glimpse of Reality, we would have to admit what we really are. We are image. We really are not what we dream to be. It's only a dream. We are not Reality or even a likeness to Reality. In a sense, we are a negative distortion of Reality; a negative of Reality, comparatively like a photo and its negative. In a photo negative, the objects appear the opposite to the original photo, yet the objects relate as real to each other and appear as normal to the negative itself. We are image. Image has no being outside of itself. Image can only perceive as image. Image can only perceive Reality as image is able to perceive. Image cannot violate the border, the walls, of its own creation. Image cannot perceive Reality as Reality is only as image can perceive it. To image, reality becomes what image dreams it to be....what image desires it to be....what image chooses it to be, for image is not the consequence of Reality but the consequence of itself. Consequently, in attempts to experience, to explain, to know, or become its host; image can only transfer its own desired qualities onto the host and therefore onto itself. The result is religion's interpretations and descriptions of God. There lies deep within humanity the desire to become God.    The reality of Reality or the reality of non-reality?
