We
think we know the reality of matter and all things,
but we cannot know reality as long as we are separated fro
m
it. Living in our skin, we look through eyes, periscopes, microscopes
and telescopes, but our instruments
and senses only let us perceive and understand what
our
minds allow us to perceive and understand. Reality and the awesome
material universe are something else altogether; in truth, we need to
change our paradigm in order to have access to Reality.

material universe are something else altogether; in truth, we need to

contrast
to the external world outside ourselves, it is within ourselves where
we find Reality. Reality is where integration is realized in the unity
of our being with everything surrounding it, and it happens when we
cease from identifying with our physical image. We can delight in our
physical reflection, but should not think of it as ourselves. The
emotions, thoughts, impulses and acts that flow into our bodies and
minds only reveal our impermanence because our physical and mental
streams are consistently changing and flowing with the chemical
elements surrounding us as our bodies compose and decompose. Our bodies
are not stationary because the atoms in it and the universe are
constantly changing speed and existence does not allow anything to
appear as stable; yet we see things as permanent. This is the cause of
all our problems, the things we see are temporary, and the pure
consciousness we cannot see is permanent.
