Reality or Imaginary?

Reality or Imaginary?
There's a Big Difference.
Something that is real cannot be imagined, or it could not be called real. Reality does not change.
Reality is not the property of mind, imagination, thought, or idea. Reality is the conscious ‘knowing’ of what is real, what is permanent, as well as what can be called ‘eternal’.
Some definitions of reality extend to include common things that exist independently of human awareness, or the fundamental building blocks of existence.
This applies to objects, events, or abstract concepts, suggesting that anything perceived as ‘real’ is often a loosely-constructed ‘reality’, or a mind-generated representation of reality.
However, the important thing to remember is, reality never changes, though it can express itself in a billion other directions and in just as many ways. Reality is the energy and the very essence of life and consciousness.
People all over the world are worshiping what is in their imagination, not the reality of existence. Imaginary prayers are being offered to imaginary gods, with hope being the glue that binds them.
But what about reality? Individual egos pretend to surrender to the greatest ego of all ...the temporary god [idea] takes responsibility for everything and we are merely its slaves.
One idea can always be replaced by another idea, but truth is truth and truth is irreplaceable —-truth is eternal.
Namaste.

"Suddenly. Without form, without thought, letting go. An image that is not standing still, yet there is nothing in it that moves. Not silent. Not distant. Like a stained-glass window too near to touch. Like a mirror seeing itself ... It is so simple, and once again so obvious." -- The Five Paths

"Everything she had ever thought or known was gone from her mind as she looked at the world. Everything was gone except for just seeing. In that moment there was an ocean of light made of colors and sounds and all other sensations with no thought at all about names or about what was what. For a few seconds Hana thought nothing at all, recognized nothing in particular, and just understood everything altogether as one.
After those few seconds a thought returned to her: 'Now I remember; I’ve always known.'
What Hana remembered when her thoughts returned was that this moment, this clear awareness, had returned to her just as it always had before, more times than can ever be counted. Each time, again and again, always to remember, “I am this.” -- Ocean of Light

Hi C.J, l have just caught this as l slip early into bed for much needed sleep after a long day. I agree with the eternal essence of what you say. However, language Is interesting - you interchange ‘reality’ with ‘truth’, and when l write l interchange ‘reality’ with something we create with our ‘imagination’. We both use ‘eternal’ and ‘truth’ as one. Just makes me realise how our own context shapes how we use particular terms, for clarity purposes. Hope you have a great day. 😊🙏❤️
