You Think This Is Real

You don’t know that you don’t know what is going on out there in the world.
And you don’t know that you make it up.
You and 6.8 billion other human beings are going round inventing stuff to provide themselves with explanations of what is happening in the world.
And then, teaching it to one another.
We are teaching it to one another in the form of beliefs.
And once we believe something to be true, our perception of it being true becomes distorted and it appears that it is true even when it is not.
This story is in everything.
It is a Chinese whisper waiting in the park.
It is in every baby’s first kiss.
It is the story of who we are and who we are not.
Take everything away and what have we got?
Nothing!

See you on the other side of the looking glass,
