Good explanation. I hadn't put ego and true self into the equation yet.

I like that - The spiritual world is reality. The material world is matter that doesn't matter! Thanks for stopping by, my friend.

You're probably right. But curiosity always seems to get the best of me. . .

Sounds a lot like the ego and the actual self, and the belief in the observer and how the observed is thought to be different.

true
what seems to be different worlds are in fact a blend of one reality that is in turn composed of many realities.
even in this perceived reality, each individual has a different reality from every other individual.
it's that border that is hard to fathom.

I would think that as we must be prepared to let go totally of the material world, living in the spiritual world as much as we can, is the only answer.
The spiritual world is reality, the material is simply matter that doesn't matter.

Sannhet, our feeble attempts at understanding the Great Mystery are metaphors at best; and not very good ones at that. I'm inclined to believe the Enlightened Ones who say that silence is the best answer. (it doesn't seem to stop me from talking though) Samhain_Moon
