Ok, here we go again..  It seems we first need to define the word 'reality'. Because I like to think there are as many realities as there are people on Earth. Hence the difficulty to know the truth. |
This is where reading the Hermetic understanding might help. Esoteric philosophies do in fact seek to explore and understand the "one reality" of human soul-spirit existence. Ground is correct in that regard. We are beings of spirit. We incarnate in physical form, here on this material plane. These are examples of the one reality that binds us together as a collective race.
Hermetic wisdom investigates the truth question, by identifying the difference between absolute truth versus relative truth. Esoteric philosophy seeks to explore and identify absolute truth as it relates to our soul-spirit nature and our incarnating as human beings. Whereas the idea there are "many realities" is, generally speaking, more a product of relative truth understanding. One comes across this idea a lot in New Age forums. Everyone wants to believe their truth is real and valid. And it is. But more often than not it's relative truth they're identifying, not absolute truth.
