Are you living in reality?
Are you living your reality or are you living in your conceptual world?. We have built up a conceptual world around us. And we are mistaking that world for the reality of life. We are missing the communion with real because we are ever busy with unreal, unfactual.
In our dream consciousness we travel the world in 2 hours; you cry, you weep, body shakes, battles are fought, and you get frightened, you are dealing with the unreal. In the same way one who is moving through thoughts, information, and experience, and memories is busy all the time with concepts and ideas which are unreal. This is only conceptual reality. There is no factual content and we get affected by them like we get affected by dreams.
Psychological suffering is the mental and emotional pain caused by believing and reacting to "the unreal", the reactions of other people, the fear of being judged and so on. We live in the world of unreal things and it is a conceptual world we build around us. And we mistake that world with the reality of life. We are missing the communion with real.
The word god is not the reality of god. We are busy with the word god, we are busy with the form of god that we have built up. We are busy debating, discussing whether God is one or many, personal or impersonal. We are fighting around the concept, the word, and we have moved far away and strayed away from the reality , from the real.
Words created by humans for the sake of communication, the measurement created by humans for the convenience of living together and sharing things on the material level, have no reality, no factual content whatsoever and our consciousness becomes the movement of the words imprinted in us, imprinted in the neurological system. So whatever is described through words, by the words, is unreal, nonfactual. We got busy with the constructed world and we got separated from the vibrating reality, the essence of life.
Isolation from reality which is the source of all suffering. It is the absence of awareness about the ever vibrating, all permeating life which causes misery and suffering.
