Beyond this everyday reality there is a deeper reality that we don’t normally perceive because it’s beyond perception; beyond space, time and mind. It’s the subspace; the causal reality from which this phenomenal world is continually evolving; emerging from, existing for a time and merging back into. It’s the ultimate reality within which our perceived reality exists.
Now, as human beings, we’ve lost sight of that ultimate reality. That’s the human condition.
The other day I went to a supermarket and noticed a bird flying around. When I pointed it out to one of the employees he said that it had been there for the last three years because it hadn’t been able to find its way out again. He said that it survives on the water which melts from the ice of the fresh food department, and breadcrumbs from the bakery.
In a way, we’re like that bird. We’ve gotten ourselves lost in the supermarket of this perceived reality we call the world!
The human condition is one of having lost sight of the ultimate reality. But it’s also the process of regaining sight of that ultimate reality. To do this, though, we need to live a life in harmony with the flow of the universe: a life that balances our perceived external reality with that of our deepest internal reality.
