Perceptions:   Each of us has a perception of what reality is, but do our perceptions match what the evidence tells us about what is most likely the truth about reality?   

There was a time when people were taught and believed that the Earth was flat.   Their beliefs did not make the Earth flat.   Their beliefs did, however, significantly influence and controlled their behavior.   And so it is today.   If you believe something, your belief influences your behavior, regardless of the truth or falseness of  your belief.   Here's the bottom line on beliefs:   

Life is not what we've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know,  you, I, and everybody else have  been (and still are) making critical,  irreversible, life-altering  decisions based upon false,  incomplete, and/or intentionally-deceptive information!    

We have included below a few snippets about reality.   We hope you find them helpful.

The Ultimate Mystery: Creator/God is the ultimate mystery.   We cannot know anything about Creator/God with provable certainty.   There are a multitude of different, confusing, and conflicting beliefs about the source of the universe, about how the invisible side of the universe actually functions, and about whatever it is we call "God.".   Before we can have a meaningful discussion about these topics, we must first define what we mean when we say "God."

Because there are so many unknown mysteries about what constitutes reality, it's literally impossible to know anything about anything with absolute certainty.

Time: Everything in the non-physical world functions outside of what we call "time."   Everything in the physical world (in our physical reality) functions inside of time.   Time is a physical-world illusion.   No mater where you go you are always here.   No matter what the clock or calendar say, it's always now.   The only thing that is real about time is that it is always "now."   

Mother nature's growth process is often so slow that we think nothing is happening, and some events happen so fast that we cannot see the movement without the aid of instruments.   

We are constantly creating our future experiences by our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, feelings, and emotions.   Although our actions strengthen our beliefs, attitudes, expectations, et cetera, physical activity is not the first cause of what we experience.

Size:   The vast majority of life on planet Earth is so small that it's invisible to us without the aid of instruments.   Most of the physical universe is so big that it's also invisible to us without the aid of instruments.   

Consciousness:   Everything has a consciousness.   Everything is consciousness.   The source of consciousness is in the non-physical portion of reality.   Most of our lives are actually lived in the non-physical portion of reality.   We mistakenly call this portion of life a make-belief fantasy and thereby discount who and what we really are.   Where is love?  Where are joy, happiness, and peace of mind?  Where are fear, anger and sadness?  

Physical reality may show up as an expression of love or joy or fear, but what answers do you get when you ask. "Where are joy, happiness, anger, fear etc.?"   They are not physical.   They are sates of being.   Can you see the distinction between these states of being and your physical body through which you are experiencing them?   When you tap your chest and say, "me." who is or what is the "me" you are referring to?   The "me" you are referring to is part of the non-physical world.  

Our physical experiences are created out of the non-physical portion of  our lives.   Our physical experiences are created by and out of our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, feelings, and emotions.   Why do you do thing in the physical world?   Because, by your physical actions you create internal states of being.   It's the states of being that we are after.

And, here's the catch 22:   We call the non-physical word a fantasy of our imagination.  We declare it to be unreal.   At the same time, we acknowledge that Creator/God as real and say that Creator/God is in and/or part of the non-physical world.   This leaves us with only two possible conclusion:  

1) God and the non-physical world are both fairytale fantasies or

2)  God and the non-physical world are both real.  

So if you accept the concept that there actually is a consciousness that created the universe, then a vast array of non-physical attribute come with that belief.  

Now let's "drop the second shoe."   Astro-physicists have found and all evidence is still confirming that about seventy percent of the know universe not physical.   It's called "dark energy" and "dark matter."   What do you suppose is in that non-physical portion of the Universe?

Where is Creator/God:   Where in the physical world do you go to contact that "whatever it is that we call Creator/God?"   The answer is anywhere, everywhere and nowhere.   In the non-physical world of Creator/God,  there in no "place"  no  "where" to go to.   

We Are Co-creators with Creator/God:   Creation in the physical world is actually a non-physical phenomenon.   We are constantly creating our future experiences by our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, feelings, and emotions.   Although our actions strengthen our beliefs, our attitudes, and our expectations, physical activity is not the first cause of what we experience.   First cause is in the non-physical portion of reality.

Physical reality is made up of here, there and the space in between.   We (you and I and everybody else) are an intimate part of whatever it is that we call Creator/God.   We (you and I and everybody else) are also inside of and an intimate part of Sacred Mother Earth.

Evolution:   Evolution is alive, dynamic, ever changing, and constantly-in-motion.  All physical life-forms on planet Earth are biochemical, bio-electric, carbon-based, ecosystems.  Your physical body is an ecosystem made up of billions of  very small life forms.   The cells of your body function in harmony with billions on microorganisms that live in and on your body.  

Every small eco-system is part of a larger eco-system.   You are (your body is)  a very small cell in the much larger life form that we call planet Earth.   Even though we may not be aware of it, our social, political, economic, religious systems are also intimate, interconnected pieces of the collective unity we call Earth.   All human-created physical things, and Mother Nature's own environmental structures are also intimate, interconnected pieces of the collective unity we call Earth.   Everything is in and intimately, interconnected with and part of everything else.  

Everything (all movements - all life forms) function in closed loops.   Everything is recycled in one form or another.  Nothing is open ended.   

If human life on planet Earth is to be sustainable, we must function within this natural context -- within the context of unity and harmony with everything else on planet Earth.    And within this context that every action, every activity, every creation, every destruction, every planting, every harvest, every factory, every activity of any kind whatsoever must function within and as part of a  closed loop.   You cannot throw anything "away."  Everything recycles in one form or another.
