MORE ON THE DUEL NATURE OF REALITY

I generally deal with material reality. Non material reality generally deals with me.

The interface between these two basic realities now invites us as never before to step into the the threshold, placing one foot ahead into the new to be experienced territory ofnon material reality), while leaving the other foot in the familiar territory of material reality.

Thresholds are normally passage gates from one reality to another. In this instance, the wondrous liminal nature of the passage requires that we experience the difficult task of remaining in the threshold to experience both realities simultaneously in order to learn the necessary interaction between the two.

Material and non material reality seem mutually exclusive, but they are in fact mutually dependent. Material existence in which we live our daily lives depends upon the implicate non material reality for its explicate existence.

Non material reality depends upon material reality to provide manifestation in which it can experience its dual nature for full and authentic self, being both material and non material simultaneously.

This is a difficult philosophic concept to grasp, being as oriented to material reality as we are, thinking it to be the only reality. Non material reality seems unreal, an ephemeral cloud of hallucination.

If one is more “real” than the other it seems to me the infinite nature of non material…
