To grasp the universe as it really is is no small feat; but there is a gross divide between the universe of energy and matter rolling around in spacetime, and the universe of thought, communication, understanding, and a whole spectrum of related things such as ethics, insight, intent, and creativity.

The slippery slope in confusing these realms, as I have mentioned before to Bill is that you can easily get sunk into the apparent solidity of things and lose all contact with your higher qualities, reduced in scope to a dull-witted computing machine with no higher goal than to keep passing food through the food-tube.

It helps (perhaps) to remember that the most elevated adherents of many philosophies --religious or otherwise--assert with complete tranquility that what is illusory is not thought, not the Viewer, but the apparent massive solidity of particles and masses galumphing through Time.
