Welcome to Fantasy Land
By Michael Levy
When was the last time you visited a theme park? Did you enjoy it?
Most people love to go to a theme park and escape the hum-drum chores of everyday living. How real are theme parks? All those fascinating furry creatures that come up to us and give us a big hug...How cute they look, but how real are they?
Within an eye to a young child they are very real, but through the view of adulthood they are just a person in a costume...Right? Well, not exactly, for many times we use our imagination for just that one day and we go along with the fantasy. After all, that is the fun of going into a theme park...To indulge in the fantasy....... is it not?
We allow our imagination to go back to our childhood and we enjoy all the fun of the fair. At the end of the day we are tired but very contented with all the release of worry and tensions the fantasy has relieved. But.....we do not live in fantasy worlds do we?....We have to go back out into the "real world," to face all the negativity and dangers of modern day living, or do we?
So, what is real and what is fantasy in our everyday lives? Worry and anxiety seem real enough when there are events in our lives that take on harmful emotional stress. Being in debt, sickness, death of a loved one, all this stuff will play havoc with our enjoyment of life and turn happiness into sorrow. Debt, illness and lack of joy can be avoided if we know the true, authentic paths to follow, but death of our physical form is a certainty...You can bet your life on it!
But ... what is life? And......how real is death...
Well, the physical presence on earth disappears. The ego/intellect that was so worried about its appearance, other peoples gossip, making lots of money, keeping up with the Jones's, world events, family arguments and a host over other "Important stuff" will all disappear like smoke...Just as if it was all a fantasy??????
A theme on life.... in a park of drama perhaps?
It sure is a shame most folks forgot their lines they were given at birth and tried to ad-lib a script fabricated by self-torment and mental-torture. The fantasy they enacted really seemed like reality, but since all finite substances are glued together atoms, fed by chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine, they are bound to come unstuck eventually and the "reality" fades into oblivion...The good news is the tangible authentic be-ing will never fade away. The true essence of a human-being is a constant flow of intelligent energy that cannot disappear. We label it a soul, but such identities cannot describe the indescribable......That has to be experienced.
So, is it time to get real now? ....To rediscover the authentic life that is projected here on earth and throughout eternity. Is it time to take off our fluffy costumes, our masks, our facade and to live as our authentic self. Is there any difference between eternity and the now existence? If you say; Yes there is, then you are living in a fantasy theme park, but this one has a long dark shadow that turns happiness into grief.
It exists only in a will-o'-the-wisp called ego.
OK...enough already! ... I guess it is time to cut out the Non-Sense
of the ego/intellect and to turn on....... tune in.......to our S-SENSE!!
The Spirit of a True Soul.
Now that's a valid existence that experiences how to live in infinite
Love & Joy!!!! A design, within a subject, within a point, within a theme, within a dream, within a fantasy land......Enjoy it all from within! But Understand.....What is not born.... Cannot die. The eternal soul will nourish our life on earth....... for without the soul ... there is no life....Just a Fantasy of Delusions.
