How close or how far are we from Reality? How difficult is the search, for it is obvious that Reality is not commonly present in and to our everyday lives? If the 'is' is 'anything' and we all hope the 'is' is 'something', we must deal with the reality of Reality for Reality and the reality of non-reality is all that can really exist. To reach for non-reality is to reach for nothingness. This is the power of 'nothingness'. This is the reality of 'nothingness'. Nothingness is the state of non-reality, meaning that nothingness is the state of image. Nothingness cannot image nothingness but can only image Reality. Nothingness thus depends on Reality as a shadow depends on its source.
Scientists are not able to understand or even to look for Reality because they have no idea of the actuality or location of non-reality. Scientists are baffled, and rightly so, for they are not able to leave or see outside of the world, the existence, they have created. Scientists live and work within the world they have created. It is their reality but it is not Reality for Reality is not creatable by the human dreams, desires, or choices that create creation. Scientists create image. All of creation is image and reproduces itself as image. If scientists cannot admit of the possibility of image and of the image of creation, how can they ever find Reality which is entirely out of the scope of their comprehension?
There are only a few ways of knowing: tradition, experiential, (the senses). the rational (reason), and a pure, primal perception which is the only access to Reality.
