THE GREATER THE REALITY,

THE MORE DIFFICULT TO GRASP

To grasp: to fully comprehend.

Reality: the state of actual existence as experienced.

To comprehend: to understand.

Reality is discovered at different levels of consciousness. A dream is real. Awakening is more real.

The more awakened we are to an experience, the more meaningful the experience becomes. The more meaningful the experience, the more difficult to reduce to words.

The more difficult to reduce to words, the more difficult to readily carry in ordinary experience.

Experiences of great meaning must regularly be consciously revisited, remembered, in order to make them more easily accessible.

We must reduce a meaningful experience to feelings that are not dependent on words. The feeling must become part of us, recalled without effort.

The most meaningful experiences, irreducible to words, cannot be fully shared.

Any two or more people who share the same meaningful experience, whether simultaneously or not, know each other through indirect exchange of words, or even simply from presence with one another. This is true brotherhood.

Brotherhood: feeling of kinship and closeness, holding in common a knowing shared without words directly describing the shared knowing which is not possible.
