Appearance vs Reality

CREDIT: UNKNOWN

What we perceive around us in this sensory realm versus all that exists, independently of anyone’s perception.

Are we in a social trance? Do we see beyond material nature and the ultimate portrayal of human society?

I lived most of my life with little regard passed the material realm. I lived most of my life with the attitude of ‘what’s next?’, chasing ‘fun’, planning outings and grazing for ‘happiness.’ Believing that my life was providing me with deep, meaningful experiences. Until one day the emptiness of my inner being was becoming harder to ignore and that which was ‘fun’ became a miserable unfulfilling state of living. This had to change.

I had to refresh my mind: my sight and my hearing.

Living in the material world bored me, deeply. A world that glorifies obscenities and debases purity, its proposed freedom is a prison you see. Its present appearance with all its distractive elements is what helps us stay asleep. And being asleep means that you can not control yourself and if you can not control yourself that means that you are a slave to yourself. While it is that real freedom is attained when you no longer are a slave to your Self because you recognize that you are an extraordinary creation, and that for every creation there must be a Creator.

And as William Shakespeare has profoundly said: if we have offended you by insinuating that you are asleep, then just consider us a dream.
